Blood and Water
We are born
from amber nightfall.
How vibration ripples
under formations
of gelatinous bone;
our multifaceted nature
fluctuating between release
and holding on.
We're mud bugs of fear
burrowing from experience
into sediment
withstanding evolution
before emerging
a tadpole of Belief;
our globular metamorphosing
from child to adult begins
to accept the wet moisture
of our physical form.
There is a promise
residing in the atmosphere
of humans, our integration --
the bedding of blood
in our veins with water.
That reminder, like a Rainbow
Connection, is everywhere:
How clear our image
in times of Trust;
how extensively muddy
through resistance.

my new beginnings
have dipped their hands

Dragon Fly
Blue came for a time
Disguised as a dragon fly
Nestled by her side

Nestled by her side

blue abstract
her heart was a raw canvas, & the squadron of her lovers
painted their own furious shades of blue.
it was adorned with the color of hurt.
if her portrait had been done by Odilon Redon, she’d be
surrounded by flowers, red for passion, yellow for serenity,
in brown vases, for the charred walls of her abandonment.
her music is orchestral melancholy
female vocalists singing sad songs
tristesse de la lune
(sorrow of the moon)
when she’s lonely enough, she follows me to a barren room.
this thing I do to her in the dark, it’s a little like love.
her eyes are closed, & she won’t remember my face.
she ran so fast, she left herself behind
she passed the sun till it refused to shine
a work of art subverts the model by degrees
it’s never real – it’s what the artist sees
a far-away star will fall to the rue outside our window;
by its light I will paint her, & she will be nude.
but it will remain unfinished
and signed artist unknown…
(Art: Emeric Feher)

moment you're free
The moment you stand up to tyranny
is the moment you actually become free
Falling in love with status quo is quite easy
for who doesn't hate chaos, love stability?
Freedom resides within your heart never surrender
You are free no matter how deep a ground you're under!
Live free or die trying? can't be more wrong
dying trying is dying free actually dying strong!

A-list rap
Stay away and at bay, all day spray an AK
A stray path attack wrath back attack
Play bash and land last, crash at bag pass
A fact blast wrap cast and a rat-a-tat-tat lash
Always pack hay lazy days stash dank rays
Can’t stand crazy whack rants and that fad man
Amass a slam say damn man, that’s cash at hand
Phantasm anagram that’s a fantasy and a jam
That pack stay track attack and flay any cat
Grab phat ass and smash all day and ball at last
Tact lasts and all shall pass, fall crash and pray fast
Ya man has an array and can slay many rap acts
A stray path attack wrath back attack
Play bash and land last, crash at bag pass
A fact blast wrap cast and a rat-a-tat-tat lash
Always pack hay lazy days stash dank rays
Can’t stand crazy whack rants and that fad man
Amass a slam say damn man, that’s cash at hand
Phantasm anagram that’s a fantasy and a jam
That pack stay track attack and flay any cat
Grab phat ass and smash all day and ball at last
Tact lasts and all shall pass, fall crash and pray fast
Ya man has an array and can slay many rap acts

Will
in walls
trapped by chambers
holding
autumn auburn eyes
were it just my skin you took
I'd surely die
letting myself slip away
these atoms owned
sinew, fibre
sewn
O core
the very bone
miats'yel
sway us
wherever One runs
i know each and every song
here today
there tomorrow
many roads mini-towns
Babe...
where i sleep
beneath
You
can hear
every gear...
working the circle
turning
You to me, I to You
come kismet
lets burn by every
licking flame
wonderment, height and whim
barefoot
rain
dipping toe
splash of puddle
reverie reigns
And I
captive

With Wings
Clair de Lune filters
with wings
through graceful waves of air
in every raindrop ping
creating our symphony
spin me a room
weave me a rainbow
be my shining diamond
always holding me near
play me, persuade me
Emerge in the window to my heart
holding strong same beliefs
pulling pirouetted dreams
a duet of two
roses blooming
spin me a picture
paint me a vivid view
raise me from rags to riches
never throw me away
lift me, kiss me
Come dance with me
with wings
through graceful waves of air
in every raindrop ping
creating our symphony
spin me a room
weave me a rainbow
be my shining diamond
always holding me near
play me, persuade me
Emerge in the window to my heart
holding strong same beliefs
pulling pirouetted dreams
a duet of two
roses blooming
spin me a picture
paint me a vivid view
raise me from rags to riches
never throw me away
lift me, kiss me
Come dance with me

moon is alight
crispy cold nite
not matters the frost bite
your company for me
has set the moon alight!
stay with me
say no words
enjoy the sight
beautiful night
not matters the frost bite
your company for me
has set the moon alight!
stay with me
say no words
enjoy the sight
beautiful night

Because I've received queries as to why people who nominate their own poems aren't receiving a nomination notification from me ( not you, walker ):
When you nominate your own poem you're already aware it's been nominated. The nomination notifications are for those who may not be aware because their poem was nominated by one of their peers.
I hope this clarifies the reason.
