Premium Member Jealousy

her mean-spiritedness detonates unsmiling green eyes that narrow and expose the crannies and cubbies of her harsh mouth amplifying sounds of rage in her honey tones, sickly sweet

My Unsmiling Face

Tell me, my unsmiling face,
Are you roaming earths lonliest place,
Without Mother, Father or friend,
Without beginning, middle or end,

Are you bereft, empty and hollow,
Soaked in grief, sadness and sorrow,
Tell me my unsmiling face,
Are you roaming earths lonliest place.

April 1

Today was April Fool’s Day,
reminding me
of lighter times.

While listening to the news this morning,
I yearned for the traditional,
“Gotcha, April Fool.”

But all I heard,
reflected an unforeseen truth
from an unseen enemy.

No prank
or white lie could I detect,
from unsmiling faces.

The April Fool remained hidden
in pandemic’s shadow.

Traveling With a Purpose

Traveling with a purpose by One who went before us,
to do this in order to obtain our Royal Priesthood.  Enter
Heaven's gate.

The quest is to penetrate the hardness of hearts, to 
light up unsmiling faces... requiring daring along with
certain times of solitude.

Set the course to destroy Satan's evil schemes.

Use the Word of God, His truth as your sword.

List of Difficulties

Woman who doesn't have
fear of cockroach ...
man who supports
well the pain ...
Nervous to become silent,
shy to be super speaker ...
serious to smile,
unsmiling have
loose laughter ...
Listen to the snake chirp ...
Cow coughing and ox flying,
christened horse attend
the mass,
battle horse
to fight...
Jaguar do
the nails,
mooing bullfrog,
ancient cock command ...

Sunlit Cascais

Sunlit Cascais

Today the sun shines
Over the bay, a pilot boat 
Is going out
To take a small coast ship
into Lisbon.
In the night
the couple upstairs
made robust love
Plaster fell as snow
on our bed.
And that was ok
ing is better than war
I know the woman
often see her in the foyer 
she looks haughty and chaste
and unsmiling.
Not that I would tell
about her nightly desire
but the falling plaster
it is a worry.

Premium Member Impressions At a Church Lady's Casket

Silent
is she whose
sharp mind
unraveled;
she died.

This woman,
friendly,
loved to gab
and laugh.

Unsmiling
in her 
casket now. . .

her face
is strangely

beautiful.

Smoking On Nevsky Prospekt

SMOKING  ON   NEVSKY  PROSPEKT


Late summer  - too tired to try
To keep up with  world going  by
Anonymous  face  a foreign  voice  
Girl with dark eye-shade  of choice
Man  unsmiling in leather jacket
Passing   me and  my cigarette packet  


The noise of buses on the breeze
The   canal-boat  tours under the trees
Smells of  borsch  and kasha please   
Ice cream women  in their cool oases
Petersburg  sun  fading fast
This cigarette will be my last

A Shattered Past

Twenty one was the year it took-

To being unraveled like a book. 

And all those footsteps that once were woven. 

Become random patterns as my past is stolen. 

When I was unsmiling and small. 

The future would feel like a cliff that I was destined to fall. 

But now that path that was once sad and unspoken-

Has crumbled as the clock in my head was broken. 

And all the fumbles and all the falls-

That seemed like mistakes turn into endless waterfalls.

Premium Member Generation Neglect

Attention spans declining
Faces stuck to their pimp phones.
Unsmiling addicts, they've become.
Spreading the infection of indifference.
We've become a generation of neglect
Children are being emotionally orphaned

We'll have little need for vocal cords or tongues.
Just long fingers for tickling keys.
No need to walk or run or have fun.
Everything is brought to our doorstep.
No need for arms or legs.
No need for playgrounds or babysitters
Just a gray room and a keyboard.
