Premium Member Moments of Bliss

Listen to poem:
carving out
if only five minutes
of stillness
when all is dark
and cluttered

in silence
clouds of patchouli
if only in my mind

Scents

patchouli incense
opens nostrils --
fragrant dreams

patchouli incense
smolders ethereal --
phantom dreams

patchouli incense
burns as fingers --
massaging dreams

Premium Member Best way to launch the weekend

Friday nights call for aroma therapy relaxation
Light a patchouli scented candle 
Release the bouquet of merlot
Sit back and wind down
Let the past week simply slip away

Premium Member On Chanting- Om- Double Senrus

~*~*~*~

         on a rug, legs crossed
         patchouli incense, bright, glowing
         my centering island



         letting go of strife
         meditation's fond delight
         stars smile, inner peace

Ylang ylang

Breeze of cold.
A song titled hope.
Gulp of and urgent need for a cigarette.
Need to sniff more of heavy ylang ylang.
The itch of a pain.

A warm wind.
The soul lifting song.
Whiff of ceder smoke.
My soul soothed by patchouli.
A healing touch.

Collabotation with Jim Musics

Dance

The kaleidoscope effect
of summer's weathered haze
A kiss from unremembered love
hangs loosely overhead
Faces shadowed by greed
morph into enlightened hope
Emphatic
Karmatic
Bittersweet bliss
Hippie twirl
Patchouli scent
Overloading all senses
Holding hands
Embracing summer's greedless
heart

Premium Member What About This Song Idea

I know this might sound kind of wrong
But I am making up a ditty of a cute little song
About how hedgehog loves his smelly patchouli bong
How can I distribute it to this hippie throng?

Hedgehog is a private guy, I said.
You might be messing with his head.
I would write a song about myself instead.
Maybe about how you keep overfed.

Premium Member Smell of Autumn

Smell of Autumn in the evening dusk Decaying leaves slowly becoming dust, Scent of that Sixties patchouli musk Smell of Autumn in the evening dusk. Breezes becoming somewhat brusque Leaves still green but tinging with rust, Smell of Autumn in the evening dusk Decaying leaves slowly becoming dust.

Premium Member Patchouli

What I’d like to give you, is an ounce of my cologne
     Sweet masculine patchouli, signature of my own,
          The musky smell I was wearing when we first met.

          I’ll leave the memory with you with faintest regret
     Somewhere in the distant past it lingers in the air,
Reminding me of a time when all our love was fair.

Whatever

I have written for numerous 
   Tolkienesque publications
But I am a Jew!  
Why do I keep doing this?
Well Keats wrote about truth and beauty 
I find beautiful scenes in LOTR
  I guess I am an aging hippie
   I even use "Aging Hippie Bath Oil" with 
patchouli 
  The "craze" has died down 
     The 60's are long over 
Remember the song "It's Good to Be Alive"?
Well, it is!
