I usually don't read the threads , just so busy now and multitasking..
..I do appreciate the mention.  very kind.


all my humble pleasure Miki...as Ahavati aka Poemworm (ryt?) said it so right.. nomination is one of the ways i feel for respects towards our each own adored poets . And when this space offers  limitless nominations (i hope) ..why not i try to do my bit of share for the whole galaxy of my poets who inspire by their sheer artistic brilliance .. xx

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.    
~

Blood

my new beginnings
have dipped their hands
in lukewarm blood
first.

Dragon Fly

Blue came for a time
Disguised as a dragon fly
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

One

 
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

moon is alight

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.
