Me and a Mug

The feeling of a ceramic mug being formed. 
Mental blocks, not normal. 
Just the clattering of pencils as if they are a cure. 
Taking time out of nothing. 

Taking tempered emotions. 
Stemming and steaming. 
I have enough opportunities. 
They said that. 

I have enough capacity. 
Struggles, and other swirling winds. 
When the thoughts escape. 
The doorway gets caved in. 

The ceramic mug is formed. 
Waits for the way cameras speak. 
Not a soft sound. 
Just the sun and back. 

They say I should consider not making connections. 
They say I make them confused. 
My mental block is endless. 
I wish people would stop trying. 

If the cure was found…
Then the moon landing is endless as me.

The day, the soil lab took care of him, and I sighed


The day, the soil lab took care of him, and I sighed
Categorical exclusion, You were there, but almost Nye!
My outspoken, my hidden, my own darker trace
My grace, rancid disgrace, my song and my own mess
Did I ever tell you? I loved you with all my heart, I loved you all!
I had no desire, there, my nihilistic call, they are not an easy Pickthall!
I startled, I stumbled , I ran, I walk and I snore, sneeze and yawn!
I craft and in my propeller shaft, I fly, with flying try, I try simply not to frown!
These are not all stemming from me, these are the imprinting gemstones of praying tea 
You are a done deal only to compose , not to take heed before you even try to say, once again to me!
These are white lies, your sweater moment  drops on your life, legend and universal truth
And all they say is to look after your giggling imagism before it handles him too, to soothe beneath the bluetooth!

Premium MemberRavens and Lilies

‘When you are not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives.’ - Lauren Eden


lilies and ravens
dance together making mud puddles
thick as salve caked on deep wounds
stemming not the ooze

tinctures from droppers
bitter herbs labeled for survival
use only as directed
replenish nothing

rancid birthday cakes
gleeful candles form dancing shadows
glassy story-telling eyes
yearn desperately

gleaming steel knives slice
neat little rows across the table
the sacrificial altar
where naked I lay

ignorant children
don't see the bullies in their own homes
doling birthrights like feed for
ravens and lilies

Premium MemberQuietus By Desire

Sometimes the less weight you bear,
The more of your own weight tips the scales.
There's too many words, too much chaos,
All stemming from silence, from absence.

The coziest warmth is someone else's.
Even the hottest nights can still be cold.
No better music than their laugh.
No stronger longing than not knowing who.

LEAP OF FAITH

A connection endures,

As it's host surrenders,

To the possibilities,

An infinite world before thee.

A projected reality,

From 2 eyes i see,

A life created for me,

Stemming from the energy.

Purposely full,

Of adversity,

Diversity,

A University of knowledge.

Taking you over the edge,

Earning the wisdom,

To inspire a kingdom,

Of loving participants.

Aware of their dance,

There is a better chance,

To feel the romance,

Within their own experience.

A leap of Faith,

Most are afraid to take,

Fear of creating a wake,

A war, So much more.

For Heavens sake,

Whats it going to take,

For the levies to break,

And retake the world you create.

Premium MemberNew Years Old Wishes


          New Years Old Wishes

In a world wrangled with wild wars
Between two developed nations,
With civil deaths a sad eyesore
And a bane to human reason,

With harsh tension and violence
Elsewhere one can daily witness,
Stemming from lack of tolerance,
Wrecking homes and lives with distress,

With a few basking in plenty,
Overwhelmed with satiation
And the lot dipped in misery
With children doomed to starvation,
 
Would New Years old wishes of love,
Would old wishes for compassion
Would wishes for peace fly as doves
Or drop down the deep ocean?

Sands of time will ever unfurl,
But human race will remain same;
So will issues facing the world
And New Years old wishes be same.

Brit's spy guy from Ian Fleming
Is Bond who goes chaos stemming!
When the web of life slumps
See how quickly he jumps 
Sadly to die like a lemming

Premium MemberUnderstanding Love

No one can wholly understand love
Love is never what one thinks it is
Love often comes as a snippy surprise
As a starry shock stemming from above.

Love is a hieroglyphic puzzle
Love has the power to muzzle
Shackle, overpower, direct and destroy
Love can be a very volatile or hazardous toy.

As soon as one is somewhat comfortable
Love shows her ugly fangs on the table
Love is not always a beautiful spring.

Love behave like a cunning chameleon
Love behaves like an uncommon phenomenon
No one can completely comprehend this thing.

The Root of Obsession

Planted in the ground of possibilities 
Stemming from inner catastrophies 

Am I blinded by curiosity?
Am I losing my sanity?

Attraction, love, lust
Obsession

Money, status, purpose
Obsession

Entertainment, power, time
Obsession

External? Internal?

Deep Inside

She calls to me
with a dazzle in her eye
stemming from the sun
I've no place to run
but to her side
letting beauty open wide
breathe slowing to the beat of her nature
taking it all
deep inside

The Power of Love

This thing called "love"
Has the power to change you,
Make you persevere to the end,
Take you up, around, then back again.

Love has the power to
Make you re-define your very soul,
Drive you crazy if you let it, or
Bring everything under control.

True love is not a game,
Stemming from the trenches of the heart.
Love is something real,
Worthy of the highest honor,
Magnifying, dignifying, and empowering
All who embrace its ways,
Healing even the deepest wounds,
Collecting the pieces of a broken heart,
Fortifying and solidifying it like a stone wall
Even the woes of life will never pierce.

This thing called "love"—
Value it, treasure it, give its honor.
True love rarely shows its face
Amid this bedarkened world.
Never again may you get the chance to experience
The power of love.

Premium MemberNon-binary Pride


LGBTQ is the spectrum of contrary community colors,
surviving secluded in the singular lattice of love, 
weaved with the special strands of myriad hues 
that make the rearing rainbow of inclusive glow.

They question the notion of binary gender identification,
face violence and inequality because of who they are,
but gender orientation is an integral part of our selves,
human rights demands it to be protected unabused.

The mental health issues stemming from rejection,
need to be addressed with societal concern and care,
by empathically accepting them as what they are,
helping them to build the high level of self-esteem.
 
Proudly swaying the sagged flag of deserving dignity
in transcendent realm of love that knows no boundary, 
they struggle in the journey of equality and inclusivity,
as their hearts beat with the cadence of non-binary pride.
