The Prisoners House

Arrested by fear,
   Positioned to become prey,
       The snake takes a jab,
      Paralyzed, immobilized,
       Skillfully demoralized.

A Poet

Passion found in blood and soul
Oft expressed in word and ink
Excellently thought and skillfully jot;
Thinking is an art, O let my words sink.

     I am a poet...

Sunsets Beckon

Off to catch her beauty
where smiles illuminate my dream
sunsets beckon
bleed no more you pretty pen
line your heart with gold
stories skillfully written
but never heard
lay her down
and into beauty blow
lay her down
to places never known

Tribute To Connie Marcum Wong

She called me a friend even though we were ocean apart,      
Her words were beautifully and skillfully crafted,    
Genuine love permeated her chamber,    
She loved the fragrant blossom of spring,
Autumn called her home.

Sacred

I want to kiss you there, in that sacred place that is waiting to be devoured
Softly yielding to my arousals as i skillfully awaken you with the finest of craft
You taste of saffron and jasmine flowers that perfumes the air
You ebb and flow in reveries unspoken

I Will Play This Part

I will play this part
So skillfully that
Nobody would guess
That my mind's in a mess.

I'll play this part of mine.
I will not cry or whine.
Nobody will understand
That I live with a broken heart.

I will play my part
So naturally that
Nobody could guess
How I'm tired of this race.

Shadows

Tenacious fires
race like astral
acid through
some mutant
fusion
in the brain.

Till all you've 
seen has become
one and shows
itself again.

But skillfully
she climbs the 
structured 
stairway of 
your soul.

And don't forget
that dark regret
can spill a shadow
on the whole of 
your subconscious.

Premium Member Ego


true feelings 
concealed craftily
beneath the sheath 
of saccharine psyche 

fragile fantasy 
of self sanguinity 
fostered
by colors 
of chameleon skin

spurious emotions
sprawl surreptitious
pretentiously 
paraded skillfully
away from 
edge of reason
epitomize deftly 
camouflaged ego
Form: Verse

Premium Member Time Out

One would think by now
speaking of Time
that all ticks of rhythm
pulses of rhyme
prose one knows
and those
newly sought
should all
have been found
and if not
skillfully wrought;

and yet,
the war continues:

young poets
take my pen!

Though time again
this time wins out--

let not my loss
be the final bout….

Premium Member Middle Names

Nancy Lee, Nancy Lee, a southern handle most definitely.
Mother dear has long been dead.
I can still hear her voice at times in my head.
Nancy Lee, Nancy Lee, She'd use both names
when yelling at me.
I blocked her out quite skillfully.
At times I'm sure it was deserved.
Is that the purpose our middle names serve?
Nancy Lee, Nancy Lee..

Life

Is it a dream?
if so, what yet dreams it?
does it dream with such fervor that it ignites the stars?
does it dream so skillfully that the dreamed think it the dreamer?
does it dream with a will of such power that the dream remains even after the dreamer has wakened?
such a mystery shall not be revealed by time
as time is a dream of the dreamed

Premium Member Sentimentality

True feelings concealed craftily
beneath the saccharine sheathe,
toxic fantasy of self items fostered
by the colors of chameleon skin.

Sprawling spurious emotions,
pretentiously paraded skillfully,
away from the edge of reason,
epitomize the camouflaged ego.

Feasting On Poetry

The poesy of chef's soup du jour,
   peppered in a skillfully delectable
            pauperized simmer
       or sublimely enriched dish of
          ultimate truffle butter grandeur,
   either method is subtly rendered mid
      tastefully tendered aromatic
              proffers of broken bread,  
          farther delectable poetry's bouquet

Premium Member Two Hearts One Dream

Sing for me bluebird
I love your voice 
I love you too
And I so rejoice
In thinking one day 
You will take me away
On your wings I will ride
To our Annecy chalet

Play for me troubador
Skillfully on the strings
New melodies each morning
Never knowing what love brings
Dreaming of the one day
When we can fly away
Together hand in hand
To our Annecy chalet

For the Poet.....

My two miracles, black and white lay dreaming. 
I roll the last of the Cabernet over my tongue
as I
inhale every drop of the prose she has so skillfully penned; 
tannic, yet satisfactory.

The attack.........ripened, smashed cherries
The evolution.......bitter cacoa nibs..........
The finish.......an aftertaste of lonliness and heartbreak....
yet still I want more.

My Vernacular

Check your cheques
You must realise or recognise
Quarrelling analysing skillfully
Without criticism centre or colour
Judgement no theatre of grey of arguement
Like a boats draft determined by draughtsman
Curbing ones thoughts like avoiding a roads kerbs
An encyclopaedic almost an un-parallelled programme 
A marvellous jewellery there not of aluminium but of pure Gold
Just English

Premium Member A Door

Gray wispy clouds skillfully painted
Encapsulate the sun
While birds' tunes craftily are sung
A new day's play starts to run

Some birds still are quietly nodding
To a rhythm all their own
But the doves awaken early
Before the sun rays are shown

There is a Dove of Peace Who doesn't
sleep, He's there all the time
Feel Him knock on your heart's door
Saying no, only true crime

Summer

Splendiferous in all her ways, Summer
Utilizes every color, every scent, in mesmerizing beauty,
Melting light into shadow, blending skillfully her arts,
Magnanimously giving us treasuries of memories.
Excellence her standard, her table bountifully spread,
Replete refreshments for the body, mind, and soul.

Crimson Leaves

Walking across a footbridge, strewn with crimson leaves,
    I watch as they twirl and pirouette in Autumn's chill wind
leading them in a rhythmic dance that it skillfully weaves
   as they plummet, leaving branches naked and chagrinned.

Form: Rhyme

Skillful Hands

he stood there
undressing her
gentle strokes
of his hands
atop her breast
sliding down
to her thighs
as he skillfully
spread her legs
to prepare her

his hands
carefully
guiding 
the way

he slowly
stuffed her
with all he had
until she was ready
to burst

he lightly
covered her
when he was done

the chef
smiled with ease
as his Thanksgiving feast
was placed in the oven
to bake

We Hid In Sad Pun Easy Ruin

they're having a happy chat
they would not dream to own
some scarecrow with a stone
beneath its frightening hat

scheming fancy and laughter
cheering and chanting aloud
they'd not venture to alter
one frail reassurance found

their stories all have flair
if thoughts are loud or bare
those children sleep lightly
they'll whisper thoughtfully
shun a straightforward stare
through squabbles skillfully

A Dead Soul

I live on the other side of your revenges
I touch your words, learn slangs
And get frozen inside
Those artful revenges

Those skillfully uttered darker words
That neither gives purity nor spiritual depth
That each religion teaches us.

I know, in return you will slap my conceptual core

With one, and then another and then another;
Wiping each goodness left inside
With your humble eloquence
Of a dead soul.
