Premium Member Clouds and Candy Raindrops
as a child, 
I perceived
the wonderment 
of Clouds. 

and elders 
likewise contemplated 

the curious celebrity of them

the solemnity of shape-shifting skyships

their charity of rain:
	encouraging fruit 
	greening hills
	irrigating joys
keeping 
watch 
around the earth 
in as enviable 
a perch 
as the risen sun 
or mystic moon 
that...

Unopposed Oxymoron

This poem is light as a heavy contradicting complement
and rhymes with no correspondence of sound sharp at
the cutting horizon’s edge of melting confusing fission

Serious like a foolish jester and in trivial necessity it wants 
to be chimed in disagreement discordant harmony figure
of speech silent...

Animus
A hiding place, a warm and darkened room,
A lit doorway, bright against the dark,
Cold against the warmth, a frame for odd
Assorted stranger-forms whose faces loom

As quarrels over (what?) convulse and rend them,
Leering laughter giving in to vicious
Sneers, bared fangs, silent snarls
Of wretched, clutching, atavistic mayhem,

A...

The Stench of a Broken Heart
When I looked in to her eyes,
In it I saw a prospect of a paradise.
A paradise whose entry was not 
contingent on my righteousness.
My days of startling agony, still battled my
hope of finding true love.
Like the Battle of Armageddon,
I always came out a looser.
But meeting...

Storm Inside the Brain
She was beautiful like the rainbow. 
Her fragrant smiling words of luminance. .
Unleashed adrenaline into his mind..
with tactile thoughts of proximal paradise.
His five senses collaborated a screenplay. ..
with billions of brilliant tangled neurons.
He imagined... .the fantasy of being in love.

But deep in the sky of...

Puppy Love Ain'T No Saviour
Advance and dance towards destiny
Galumph
Defy the lie and cry of scrutiny
Triumph 

Over hurdles seen and unseen
Drive and dive to arrive
At the intersection where a queen
Awaits your appearance as you strive

To breach odds stacked against success
Meant to land in caloused hands
That have toiled and moiled to...

Entwined
entwined body and soul
art and poetry - divine
prayer to my Lord

entwined black and white,
creates beauty of this world -
proximal difference

entwined by your arms,
mind still roams - demented soul ;
in search of poems

Divorce ...(To Rg)
My entire history is not as it should be
I am always now a proximal potential
Twisted into whirlwinds by latent agony
And you the cause of fate's differential
Of mass and fortune, of virtue
Slimed by malice that you spew

What type of thing are you? What foul it
Pretentious so...

The *****'s Annals
THE *****'S ANNALS:

At the table of verdict was the ***** seated;
Breathing his last before senteced to prison.
Couldn't hide the state of how's feeling;
'Dead zone', he exclaimed as he's highly fronzen.
Every heart of his loved ones really saddened.
Friends and families connived to pull him down for...

Behind Volcano
White smoke mist contrasts with deep violet ground
River of fire like blood gushes splashing around
Volcano gives off roaring sound
As flaming rocks their way through atmosphere will find

Flaming crowns adorn the forehead of fire lord
In his dark hand he has a sword
His eyes burn with cold...

The Stimulus
when I said bring your hand
she did submit her hand
though the fingertip hesitated
for the amber glow gesticulated

I told her come closer
and she slowly came by
the forehead protruder
for the sense an intact ruler

as I waited for the conscious act
though with little hope and speculation
she turned to...

Spider On Vase
Spider on Vase

Poor teetering thing that leeched the rim
To poise and watch the world from summit
It hiked the slope and scaled with ease
Its several legs had gained momentum
Triumphant conqueror of the peak

The hero now surveys the giants
With peripheral eyes to view
The gaping hole of one...

Frontline Soldier
What portends this ill wind blowing
which inhaled robs man’s breath
whose virus defiles the proximal space people share?
 Is it the greed of man who has defied rules of the holy book
And defiled Leviticus by partaking as food that which was forbidden.
 Or is it a...
