Know organ transplant prolongs rule

OZYMANDIAS- THE PHARAOH MADE IMMORTAL BY SHELLEY

Here is someone who is worthy of all the grace,
Let me describe his glory before his name gets erased,
The Pharaoh Ozymandias of Egypt,
Who was even worthy of Shelley's praise.

He has done a lot I feel,
Even though I cannot see his real reel,
I am sure he was praised well,
Even by the worthy poet for that- I can tell.

He might not be alive now,
Nor even the graceful poet - You know how,
But then he is made immortal,
By the poet who made others in front of him appear Mortal!


Premium Member Liquid Sky Distortion

Lost in this Little, big world 
Of nightly sweats 
I see a road sign that diverts 
My attention to swerve 
Away and Wake up 
From the Reality around me ... 
I just need a break  
From it all, for awhile 
My eyes cross as I reach 
For the Blue something or other 
Ahaed of me 
I stop time for real this time 
Because it’s my time, me time 
To be real but not really 
Because I feel like I’m dreaming 
With my eyes wide open 
And everything seems so strange 
Around me as if 
God is trying to get my attention 
Somehow 
And for some reason everything 
Smells like plastic 
Leaving a metal aftertaste in my mouth ... 
I hear music in the distant clouds 
And my stomach rumbles like thunder 
Perhaps I’m hungry for something new 
Something different  
Where the earth beneath me is putty 
Sucking me in and averting my attention ...
Reminding me
I am Grateful to be Alive.

Green

stay your hand
with its obtund touch
take away your arid mouth,
your incurious eyes from me,
from my unscaled sight

you are but dull clay,
Ozymandias, barren
and I am fresh green
that strives for the light

spilling from your crumbling ashlar
jubilant, with scarlet buds
to catch the rain
and burgeon in its caress

to sway with the tumult of the wind
to kiss the voluptuous sky
to lay my feet on the lush earth
to live, to thrive
far away from your desert

A Sonate of Lust

I would dance on your tongue for 3 days in a row. 
until you were completely wet.
 pray for submission, pray for love,
 a love that burns, in the body,
 in the soul and between the legs. 
Burn where your juices are ready to flow. 
and you in fire, do not whisper, but moan, 
as my tongue slides between your thighs. 
you pray that my arrow will hit you 
where your lust sleeps, 
and you will wake up in a trance 
to huddle close to me, 
Until sleep takes you.

Intuition 111

111 known to represent intuition
Trusting yourself fully is the mission

Have you ever felt something about someone
everyone else was blinded by the gaslight
but some time passed 
and turns out - YOU WERE RIGHT 

How many times does that have to occur 
for you to finally accept 
that listening to self instead of everyone else
will keep you from living inept

In-depth we could go
diagrams I could show 
of the chemicals produced when you get that gut feeling
but truly its overriding your programming, unlearning... healing
but saying it with words
that you've definitely heard
Is certainly more appealing. More revealing. 

You know... Yes you know
That overpowers what you were taught
Trusting yourself is winning the war
the battles lost, can get forgot. 
A twist in the Plot! You were right all along
You can't believe that they achieved a mental shackling so strong

But now its time to know
You know yes you do
No shaman can tell you better, no priest or pastor or Guru

Do not ignore your feelings
Analyze them and understand them on this mission
Breathe, look yourself in the I, and tap into your intuition

Bed of Lies

Freedom startles me
Since fear is encircled behind your beds of lies
Acclaimed  messiah plays a game with you
Compelling you to be the pawn in your competition 

Every drop of his utterances counts
As my blood bubbles 
With no pale to be submerged into
Yet, I could bath with it.

No one is your saviour
They are just a pollution 
Without no solution
And breaking limits 

They say everything happens for a reason
Perhaps reason itself is a person.

The Day of Recogning

The day of reckoning 

A bird with an enormous wingspan darkened the sky
it was a night of horror in the Middle East.
A new country born in sin and filched land arose
blood ran in ancient, narrow cobblestoned roads.
The people fled over a broken bridge, now live far
from the homeland, the dream of returning is alive.
Young men living in squalor are attracted to Islamists
the grim head cutting people, who know no mercy
know they will win one day, and more blood will flow
Into sand and time.
When everything is forgotten, walls erased, the losers
will flock back to Europa, whence they came.

The Song Contest

The song contests 

I came across an apple tree it looked like 
a child’s idea of this type of tree, big red
apples and a blue sky; when I realized I do not like
big red apples have farinaceous and taste 
like they were dreaming of becoming potatoes
and not picked at by bird.
I joined my wife she was watching the final 
Of a song contest, the finalist were two women.
One was buxom and belted out a song with full voice
the other one sang sweetly like opening the window
and letting a songbird and sunlight in.
The ample woman won, but we loved the sweet one.

Premium Member Slipback

You must see Slipback, the popular new app!
It's a primary clock of tick-tock;
brief time-travel is what you can make.

Anything can necessarily be changed in and for
just a few seconds.
Certainly, lives may unravel,
living life as a movie with a second take.

"Misremembering" becomes a thing.
Challenging what was done is done.
Eliminating what we thought was a mistake.
Creating misery for others, just for fun.
Mayhem only for mayhem's sake.

Now that we exist in this short world
of now and then,
the longer world of why and when
cannot survive.
And we will have vague memories of when
we used to be alive.

Talking To a Skull

There I was, stranded in a hull
Talking to a skull
While trapped in the Maw 
of the deep

Cold Water at my knees
I started to plea,
"Why Sell my Soul to the Deep?"
While dead men say nothing

Cold Water at my thighs
Now i started speaking lies
"The doors creak shut, i tried,"
Empty black eyes gaze 

Salt in the mouth, i began to taste 
"I deplore you and this cursed ship"
All while the water rises in haste
Destroying the little hope left 

Cold water at my neck
The lights now flicker and spec
Nothing more can be said, 
as black surrounds me on all angles

Soliloquy

Sigh

Someone say
Something

Sate my starving
Synaptic surges

That slowly but
Hopefully won't
Succumb to so
Stated selfless
Self-proclaimed  
Salesmen and 
Women 
Selling

Subjective 
Sylabbic 
Alphabet 
And omega
Steamed
Stodgy
Soup
That 

I seemingly
Stir slightly
Swirling
With a
Spoon
While

Staring
Some
Where
Where
Babel has
Fallen into
Babble but
Silas sings
Off these 
Shackles

So sing
I while
Silent 
Stupid 
Sheeple
Graze on
This page

And no one 
Says anything

Sigh

Premium Member What Calls the Heart

In life,
What calls the heart becomes the legacy 
We leave behind
And those endowed will assure that its destiny 
Will be manifest in kind.

Builders of
Tombs and monuments, attempts at perpetuity
By those whose vainglories feared only mortality,
(Since at least Ozymandias)
Fade to pitiless objects of curiosity
Sans a life force for continuity.

Then
Mark my end with no icon of marble or of bronze
Whose fixèd stare dons but one gaze on and on.
Rather find me in those I taught
Shared with, loved and fought,

For
I am yours as surely as when I lived.
Summon me through times remembered
(The image of our laughing renews your smile)
And I will be yours again
In ways open to us now 'ere we began.

And
When comes the Call, whether your heart
Will heed
Can a legacy live and an endowment start
 In deed.

Lawnless

It's blisteringly dry.
Martian, winedark, overweight -
No lawns on this mesa of millet-baked pie,
To make this crater straight.

No spades here, no scraping rake.
Just sharp sticks, blood-bricked mortar.
Berbers camp here for old time's sake,
But can't stay; as there's no water.
 
In this sahara's nape,
There sinks this winderly dome.
Winedark, martian, squat-blooded black grape,
The Nomads' ruined home.

Its winedark walls're muralled,
Of a grand god grazed by honest plague.
His gentle green ways enmarbled,
Wonderfully weathered, and vague.

He sent no fire or floods,
So those drifters still kiss his hand.
He let grave waves pave their jungly woods,
In a lawnless scheme most grand.

Ancient bone-sands, sifting.
Campfire rise, boots trace.
Dead trees' shoots forever lifting
That Martian, winedark place.

The green god grins, in a mirror's embrace.
The dome, squat-blooded, has an ozyman grace;
If lawned, he'd have deserted it, its peoples displaced;
And there'd be less life living upon his face.
