Actual Axion

Axion, gone actual?
Energy low? Mass?
Sing within us all, moon full!
Shine in colored casse...

Opopanax, gears a-grim?
Young people these days!
Teeter on the crater's rim?
Success always pays.

Tamarisk tree, waking up.
Dreams from this one fly!
Covenant of drinking cup?
Do not deign to die...

Squirrel in deepest burrow?
Not this day, O my friend!
Fields with salt a-furrow!
Broken past the bend!

Winter snow, thy undertow.
Cold, take hold. O spring;
Which way leads to warp? Which woe?
Serpents, how you sting...

Gold on floor of old ravine?
Better leave it there?
Yellow eyes in skull, thy scene...
Press but don't despair.

Hope, tragedy. Rail or risk?
Horror, right this way!
Hell and Heaven, in a whisk!
Hatchet, who to slay?

Angels, demons, sacred art?
Cherries taste a-tart.
O explosions, tear apart!
Arrow, seek the heart!

End Times, tunnels, breath. Wind chimes.
Doubt, do not fail now.
Doom and Death dance on the dimes!
Best not to ask how...

For Victory

Without foundation 
no creation
from clay and lime
the glory shine

In eyes I see
What's in heart for me
go gather gladly
the sun shines friendly

My time to smile
they have signed the file
a long time awaited
justice rated

I give a star so shiny 
for Victory
a race my own.
I gained the crown!

THE ACTUAL ECONOMY

When the tree bears its fruit
It produces rare resources 
Should I start counting?
When capital is accumulated 
It manufactures wealth
Should I start saving?
The wonders of the world,

As money falls into your pocket 
An accomplishment has been made
Is this money enough?
As the knowledge becomes noticeable 
An achievement has occurred 
Is it what I deserve?
Secrecy of the world,

When the grass becomes greener
It produces rare opportunities 
Should I count?
When capital is invested 
It manufactures interests
Should I save?
The mystery of the world.

An Actual Use For My Vision Insurance

looking at the water
with less money than i had before
thinking about the latest person that was blessed with a lucky scratcher
i look down at my lunch
i look in the armrest compartment at my work badge
i look at the interior of my old lady faithful that i just had repaired
i think about my blessed mobility and what i can still do
then i look up and it has stopped raining and the skies are perfectly blue
suddenly i notice a waterfall that was not there before confidently winking its eye at me
the flow of the water is drawing inspiration from a now well rested sun
i guess i got it and this is some sort of approval gesture
maybe it is a Blessing From God for not only me as an unbeknownst reminder
whatever it is, i ask no questions and just roll with it
my lunch is hotter just like i like it and the orange cream soda is colder and just the right level of refreshing
all views are more thoroughly EnJoyed with New Meaning and with a New Fervor


Premium Member Actual Poet

This actual poet writes me silly poems.
He's there and I can't explain it.
A lifetime of experience and things lived I only imagine
and this actual, famous, poet writes me silly poems.

I wonder why me??  Why is he wasting time with me?
This sapient, hopelessly encouraging, ego-boosting poet
who writes me silly poems.

It's confusing.
My mind paints countless canvases of doubt,
like our connection is fragile tissue, perishable suds.
Surely one day I will find him bored and gone.
This actual, famous poet that writes me silly poems.

Premium Member Samuel Palmer Enriching the Actual Present

rumanative &
                  ancient
                  in gathering skies
                  of thunder&beating rain
groves&glades
          with enormous boles
          grasping at roots
           &twisting sinews
           clotted thatch corn stooks
                                        sprinkled
           &showered with a
           thousand eyes
motley clothing fine meshes &
              dappled skies&
              mountains of light
enriching the actual present
        pure&quaint
        a crinkled Goth
pitting his English visions
   with riches&fruitfulness
       of urgent realities
        in
          prodigal
           profusion

Actual Miles

Hello love
Thanks so much
For the new shoes
You've got me
Walkin' in
You know they say you can't 
Judge a person
Til you've walked a mile
In theirs
My new ones fit just fine
Along with my new life
You have made me believe
Again
In myself
I love how you love me
And I am waiting patiently
On everything to come together
I have finally found you
After all these years
What's a few more minutes?
I love this life
And I want you in it
My days you enamorate
I feel I've found my fate
These things I am feeling
My mind is reeling
I've got you in my sights
I've got you dead to rights
Thank you baby
You make me so happy
I am never gonna wear out these shoes

Premium Member Left At the Pet Shelter Upon the Birth of An Actual Child

You are beautiful
We've loved having you
But you will never see us again.

You were our everything
You were the only one
But you will never see us again.

We have to leave you now
We hope life works out for you
But we will never see you again.

Empirical, Actual and Real

Empirical, Actual and Real

Trump never heard of  anything empirical;
He is very verbose about it and hysterical;
Well defined;
Not his mind,
And missing in vocabulary is actual and real.

Jim Horn

I think all that Trump is doing is providing
a tinsey iddy bitty more information from
his tinsey iddy bitty brain for Saturday Night 
Live.

To Commit To the Actual

unidentified never to be found
mysterious trace evidence
unsourced so not a soul will see  
to view a preferably maintained crime
is harder than it seems 
hired gun dressed up 
in workers dress 
seems to all ways 
to look the best 
take your time 
no one will see 
your real job 
is to quietly end me... 
 cardboard dust that sticks to walls 
makes the best carcinoma pneumonia
for all
 so many particular tricks and so little time to share them all  
no neutrality, makes for a bad Nation
for some but not all

A True Head and Actual Bob

Before all others!
Oh those who are perusing!
Benjamin Franklin
To know who should be the head,
Who is the actual tail?

My Perception of Actual Things-Anima

Paranormal visions of flying unicorns
with wild and supreme handsomeness, 
give a boost to my conscious animus...
asserting my manhood in every sense.
Then anima makes her appearance,
and dreams change color and shape;
the feminine aspect of sensibility
transforms my ego once so untamed,
so fearless of phantoms that cringed.
I shiver more than an helpless 
woman who covers her hears
not to hear their frightful litany.
My perception of actual things
becomes more alluring than fancy;
I lose the sense of hard feelings...
as fantasy offers me a drink of oblivion,
and makes me explore a rendition
of what is contrary to my masculinity.

The Actual Gym

Hours of kick boxing
Eye lids on a constant sit up practice,
Blood flowing down through various yoga positions
Eye muscles are stretching
The lips lifting weights
Cells running on a treadmill,
After such a long boot camp
The mind ready for meditation.
