O' little worm in
the rain why have you surfaced
look for hungry birds

Premium Member Recognizing Joy

Joy bubbles below the surface
And it surprises me
It has been a while 
Since that emotion has surfaced
I am grateful to experience
Joy again

Ulexite -1

Opaque opiums surfaced
Brash helpless I languish
Menial remained purpose
Opaque opiums surfaced
Rivulets of solace purchased
By stimulus I am vanquished
Opaque opiums surface
Brash helpless I languish

Hushed (Nonet form)

The Loon glided across the water
Calling across the lake loudly
Then, it dove under water
Leaving ripples behind
It surfaced again
Looking around
Peacefully
It sat
Hushed

No time to worry over cavities 
Under these circumstances—
Temptation has surfaced 
Caution slips away like weak dentures
Answering desire—
Kindled peanuts 
Ensconced in ginger syrup.

a jarring note intruded
taunting staid silence
contemplation interrupted
lower mind surfaced 
resulting in mental violence

noticing the tremors 
horn of love was sounded
bliss mists pervaded the air
there was no need to react
sounds of silence resounded

Insecurity

Insecurity. Bled me dry.
The seed. Root.
Ghosts in my soul.

Invasion.
Laughter at speakeasies.
Bubbles in the champagne.

Surfaced, too quickly.
Whether on my right,
Or, left of you.

You let the  
Bubbles rise to your
Unthoughtful Head.

None the less.

All For You

The sky rumbled
The wind whispered
Trees swayed
Leaves rustled
Birds happily flew around 
The sea bubbled 
Faster waves raged
Vessels swayed
Fishes joyfully leaped
From the blues you surfaced
Such a heavenly sight you formed 
That I fell, tumbled and rolled
All for you.

Memory Weapons

5 a.m. had surfaced
Weary I ascended from my bedstead
Keen I rose the first of many cancer sticks
to the sleek rift of my lips
Oh, how the flavor of fresh, young smoke
Knocked at the base of my esophagus
Caressing my uvula with infinitely
Unfathomable mountains of beauty

Sailing Through

Life
sails through
the blind turns
zig-zagged all-through;
Surprises surfaced -
Dimensions of truth changed
Mind's vision got clearer
with the cataracts of eyes
Let the inner light guide you through
this abyssal depth of life's ocean
Let wisdom accompany the voyage...

Everyone’s lifelong voyage cruises diversely towards and from all meant gained, lost or missed. Earth waters mask complexities, gifts and rifts bound to astound us with our surfaced share. New horizons tantalize our brightest dreams while some island sights paralyze.

Perfect Half

There's this smile on my face
That ceased to be erased
The source I traced,
Thoughts of you surfaced.
The shape of my smile
Is wide as Nile.
Oh my!
You leave me blue.
While God keeps me alive,
You water my soul.
You are all I have
For you truly make me whole.

The Road

followed the road
it walked me tall
it took a break neck pace
it crawled

there were people
love and hate
lay on the road
as flat as heart kill

the rains came

where the road flooded
old bones surfaced

got through
wading in
stretching out
got through

old road soon be
a short dirt road
soon enough

The Voice

I'm wet. In the sun’s heat, rain & urine stunk. 
Suit, socks & tie ruined, so was I. 

The game ended in the early hours.
 That time, had had its thrills but now,
 
Pockets empty, my mind now active,
 Recriminations re- surfaced. 

Who was ‘’Beating me up’’?
 Who could I blame? 
 What would ‘’They’’ say?
 What could I say?

Premium Member BE EVER AROUND ME-


Continually wrapped your arms around me
Turning and engaging embraced yet free
 I love having you around spirit surfaced
Placed in a vessel once fallow ground 
Continually wrap your arms around me
Caring and engaging around me I'm freed
My Father God be ever around me

Orphan Manor

Whilst I sauntered the halls
Her face surfaced before the lantern
That beloved grin an abstract design

Though she was settled behind glass
Fashioning the imagery ‘tis window shopping
Presenting the proclamation that she’s without a price

I covet not for alienation to shape us
I hunger for a sense of harmony
For us to never have spaked of tragedy

An Empty Apartment Echo For Matt

My foot steps echo through the hall
Roaring like a ferrocious lion
Time has passed and surfaced again
I am on the edge of a vast cliff of alone
Do I jump or do I yell??
Dance around and act a fool
Seek out the action in the night
My foot step echos through the hall
Dust bunnies dance into the corner

For Matt's contest Empty Apartment free verse.

Sjofn

And again surfaced that smirk
Glinting ever so alluringly in my wake
Kindling an effigy of suspense



Amidst the faces that evening
With the minutes I dissolved
As classic fairness advanced
Forsaken was I to saturate within carnality



Could such a reason exist
For such monumental idolatry?
Could such possibilities exist
For the sake of emasculating warriors?

Premium Member The Other

THE OTHER

Word after word goes searching
And  at times      usually quiet times      
Some incomplete sentence will shed light

This is but a shadow sought from deep within
So weakly surfaced as sun has little presence
A teaser      persistent      on fire!

Oh I am with me      with me
Am the majority of life
Then there is this other

Vilma

Her eyes and her smile 
were the qualities of soul,
reached out through her essence
she brought all into the fold,
all goodness and sanity
in a world of messy things,
she worked through the undercurrent
she helped the angels sing,
"We'll miss her" is an understatement
she surfaced into our lives, 
with her undivided giving
in memory we abide.

Hell Subtle

Little hell earth is taking its toll, we suffer in silence the hell that we hold, till we escape in the blinding white light, the death tunnel is bright, where we Get a fresh start so im told ...don I did 15 years in stupidity, at 15 a kick in the head from a horse dumbed me down, i surfaced at 30 and the fog lifted, but stupidity returns some times...

False Guilt

I know what it meant
I’m clear on the purpose
Your message was sent
The meaning has surfaced 

You think I’m not smart
And believe I don’t know
But I started this chart
I’ve been watching it grow

I’m fully aware
Of what you intended
You’ll say I’m unfair
Our friendship, suspended 

But, though I am nice
I, too, have a limit
False guilt won’t suffice
This charity’s ended

English Dream

Thrice a summer aphrodisia snickered in my face
Yesteryear the fog of boreal passion surfaced across my window frame
Omnifarious passions are surfacing
The insignificance of homosapiens stood the test of time
Life molests all of us, maul us, then sing us to sleep
Spiraling through dimensions decorated with brothels and strip clubs
Aging with the grains of pebble stones
Aphrodisia is a tourist
