The Tardis and the Heir

"... what I said is, I am the Artist, Who Shares..."

More heart than you could ever imagine

And alive with a beautiful vision

My passion is compassion

And my gifts are for giving

"... in the light of right sight..."

There is more to sharing

than you can envision

the lives we can touch

with a voice of caring

a chorus of love

and it's free...

"...for just believing..."

The Tortoise and the Hare

"... what I said was, The Tardis... and I'm the heir..."

Much more on the inside than you could ever imagine...

and Siriusly sweet with a passion

The juice in my Driver

is a River in tune

"... light speed isn't quite 

what you envision..."

but it's faster than a broom

I'd say

And a smoother ride too, 

you can cruise

on the inside and choose

any mind for a wind

you can be 

and you can find

any one thing 

in any amount of time...

I figure all you'd need

are the keys

and these,

appear

to be 

mine...



"... screwdrivers are outdated
to traveling time 
any way..."

Premium Member Ornaments On London Streets

Giant ornaments like tumbleweeds, like eye popping bubbles, boisterously released in London streets. Like giant lightweight bowling balls that cavort out of their lanes. The breeze plays volleyball, indeterminate who’s winning. The kids’ winning for sure. Follow the bouncing baubles, unravelling revelation of holiday spirit. Celebration in the streets off to a fa-la-la start.

If this was an episodic Doctor Who, those orbs would mean trouble’s steamrolling in. The tardis’ on high alert. It’s always London! The doctor’s enigmatic scrutiny of exploding rounds and Santas showing up. They’ve weapons too. Watch out! Don’t worry! The Doctor will save you.

Out of the Closet

Night wrinkles on dim hangers;
bell-bottom pants
two-toned platform shoes
a wide `kipper' tie.

In a pocket
a crumpled Kodachrome -
hot pants and velvet neck-choker.
‘Who is she?’

This closet is a time machine
I exited decades ago.
Dreaming hands part a frilled dress shirt
from its sky-blue tuxedo.

A stripy tank-top.
dances badly to ‘Brown Sugar’
damn you Mike Jagger
you created a monster.

There’s a rum and coke stain
floating like a ghost
through fading threads.

Time, now exhausted,
falls back onto a pillow
the wardrobe trembles like a Tardis
then disappears
into its blue police box
where every garb ever worn
still fits.

Who are you?
I am a hairy hippy, I glitter,
and Jesus Christ is still a Super Star.
She’s a sexy girl who won’t let me sleep.

Wire hangers rattle in the dark
a metallic laughter.
Nerves jiggle restless legs.

My Dream Vacation

What Time  does in this box

Blue and made of wood

In this Tardis we will fly

For eternity time flies

Carrots

'' Eating Carrots Aid Night Vision''

Carrots are for those who hunger,
For what will satisfy right now.
Whether blind, half blind or just blinkered.

We all have needs to be fulfilled.
Words of truth may shake foundations,
No bad thing! when the build’s on sand.

Those golden roots they lay deep down.
Store them with care, keep them all dry,
They’ll be used in time to dine the many.

When the famine looms, they’ll fill a gap.
May they inspire still simple desires, 
A challenge to the innards of Tardis

   Proverbs 29:18


Guess Who

Did who make the tardis
or did it make the who

Premium Member A Time Lord

don’t
blink
or else
the gravel
will harden your sight -
victory of weeping angels.
the waterfall of tears - Niagara iced over.
beware foreboding avarice of twilight, capricious wings, ferocious-flying fangs

Who
might
find you
(The Doctor)
but will she be late?
panic hears the tardis wheezing
the quantum-locked humanoids cover their eyes to hide
from a powerful wake of provoked anger, a cold sober time lord busts their veneer

Premium Member Amused By the Universe

I’m a secret watcher of Dr. Who, but now you know, and his tardis is bigger on the inside as the cult following knows. So much philosophy, such as we look much smaller on the outside. It is as if “The Doctor” lives inside his brain as do us poets always imagining something greater...something bigger. And yet we can also reduce something to its smallest component and expound it. We look at a seed, climb inside its shell and see the universe. We keep walking in and out of our world, amazed at its nonconformity to our idea of reality. We see a box, color it blue...just blue the teacher says as she points with a ruler and slams down hard on your knuckles. Persnickety self says “black and blue.” The teacher points “out” and you gladly climb back into your roomy cocoon. A butterfly emerges with Queen Alexandra wings that land on the teachers hair, taunting her, beating her at her game of “inside the lines.”

Barren Solitude

Barren solitude
11/08/2018



My bleeding heart aches alone,

As I wander through life’s chaos
On this lonely planet I call home.

Mind travels like I’m in the Tardis,
Leaping planets I’m a fallow mess.

A stone rolling shrouded in moss,
Desperately alone searching the unknown.

Elves of Yours

Shredded discord en masse pulp
punching smurfs to guess the colour of the bruises
Laughing at god and his plan and blaming him for all
The broken tardis
Bigger on the outside
Never follow the
rules
Look at my lips 
A hummingbird that quivers all reality
Sweating words onto pages 
Crumpled paper with jutting heads of vowels and consonants
trying to find each other in formation of essence
Who am i
you are asking the wrong person
Pulling gravity towards me
Madness is my goal and sanity my dedication
Of all the thing i have ever been 
Myself is never one

All the Things You Are

You are the hummer beside me at Carmen
The source of BO on the airplane
A  loudmouth divulging the plot at a movie
And the noisy drunk at the concert I saved for all year

You are the Gilligan on my island.

You are the pop quiz in Organic Chem
And the idiot doing 48 in the fast lane
You're the spider I found in my salad
After I'd already eaten half of it

You are the Yoko in my Beatles.

You are the rain on my wedding day
And the fleas on my dog
You are the virus infecting my computer
And the cop writing tickets in the desert at 3 am

You are the Dalek in my TARDIS.

You are neither friend nor lover
Yet you never go away.
It seems my fate you'll follow me
Until my dying day.

Swapping

By twilight we shall reach Torchwood
to spy on an insane time lord
let's delete him
then send him
straight to Mt. Erebor
then knock out a lowly hobbit,
kidnap him
and toss him in the Tardis
Once he wakes up
we take a step back
to see what happens next!

Tardis

she's in the whoosh
feel her span through time
it's all relative
across dimensions
and into space
bigger on the inside
smaller to the seeing eye
walk around her 
you'll see
but step inside
and the venture begins
she's an old girl
stuck in the form of boxy blue
past her prime yet still as sturdy
she'll dematerialize at will
speeding through rifts 
explore her corridors and discover her anew
enter other realms, pasts and futures
she's been at the beginning and to the end of time
her companions many
yet the one who's steady is a mysterious man
one called Dr
but no one knows Who
except her for they've been together through ages
only to get to say hello toward the end
she's a reliable old girl
who's traveled many worlds
she's seen thing and heard tings
you'll know her by the sound of her whoosh
as she comes and goes.
