Europe's problem
The Problem of Europe.
Christianity is a rising mist I normally do not bother to
think of I dislike all religions as ill omens told fairytales
demanding to be taken seriously.
The worship of Jesus could have been a friendly affair
bewildered vicars talking about peace and thanking
the ladies for the beautiful flowers.
Until one remembers the Bush and Blair two knights
who wedges war against Islam by invading Iraq and
fight a religion all good Christians and Hebrews detest.
So if you thought religious wars were of...

The Reaffirmation Of A Hebrew King
A Kingdom without a King to honor is like a follower not showing his own reflection under the shadow of the Sun
We are the chariots who take the rebirth of wayward souls, soaring them to the next journey of an evolutional life
The spirit of our sacred alliance to the Holy One, the cradle of existence thee Heavenly Archangels greet your soul in the ‘liminal state’ the sunset of the heart and mind, devoid of its earthly strife
May your heart be justifiable, without...

Farewell DUP
Interacted with various poets,
Most I truly respected.
Through written ink.
All became a community.
Some like family
Learned a few things about myself and others.
Trails of words; with many paths.
Fascinating!
How to interpret?
There were a few clowns,
That even the Circus rejected.
Their acts were simply outcast.
Experienced more good than bad.
You and this site,
Expanded my horizons
Exposed to the views of others
Eye opening

The Divine Portal (The Holy Quran Of The Pineal Gland)
Only the realization of intellectual overload when my existence needs to give credence to the four rachibi when at rest
In this lifetime always be prepared for what comes next
Such a beautiful Moon that sits on the throne of infinity beaming from the skies
Look up and listen for the sultry benedictions of its midnight tales and divine lullabies
That superior light can travel your cerebrum to the third Heavens, given of its ancient stories to tell

With a fond farewell
With a fond farewell
Though it's time for us to all to go now has we all go our separate ways, I will look back at the DUP and remember the fondest of poetic days
So many of the kind words support and things that made me smile, comments by a stranger that would lift you from a down day even if it was only for a while
Reading other people's poetry wishing you had their writing skills, glimpses at their view on life and how their life makes them feel
Sharing moments of pure happiness and things that made me sad, often imagined naughty kinky pieces...

Who Is Your Father?
Two kinds of people inhabit the earth, and they have two different fathers.
The father of one kind is God, and the father of the other kind is Satan.
How can we know whose father is God and whose father is Satan?
The speech and actions of a person clearly reveal who his or her father is.
Those who are under the influence of Satan hurl abuse and insult at others,
But the words of those who accept the counsel of God give comfort.
The oppressive ruling class and their militaries are the people of Satan.
The caring people of God have no...

The Temptation Of Immortality (Lilith)
There are words circulating in the underworld of your arrival my Angelic Queen
We know of the Heavenly Seer who has the power to fulfil the Waterloo’s divine dreams
You are an embryo to the dark world you have fallen from the energy of Mother Nature’s Earth
Within your Darkness, the Queens of Hades will speak to you before your rebirth
I am the beginning, the fable false theological books have departed, I am the chosen woman of ancient time
Placed in the Garden of Eve unto Allah’s first man, Adam, he once caressed my...

Adios, DUP
And so another community
Dissolves into the faceless multitudes
Not with a bang but a whimper
Does it die
Though cyberspace was never
A particularly stable place
It's always been a little strange
And rather disappointing, don't you think?
Any 'home' you find will always in the end
Reveal itself to be merely a shimmering illusion
Vibrating electrons
Paint a mirage of words
Onto the cold, dark screen
Turn away for a moment,
They've disappeared
Were they ever really there?
Dissolves into the faceless multitudes
Not with a bang but a whimper
Does it die
Though cyberspace was never
A particularly stable place
It's always been a little strange
And rather disappointing, don't you think?
Any 'home' you find will always in the end
Reveal itself to be merely a shimmering illusion
Vibrating electrons
Paint a mirage of words
Onto the cold, dark screen
Turn away for a moment,
They've disappeared
Were they ever really there?

4.30am ~ room view of a motel car park
the silent,
nocturnal questions coil.
a super8 film
plays on the chintz,
it provokes, cushions, then caresses;
like damaged lantern
puppets,
like rhinocera restored in felt.
So turn to nuzzle the quilt, and gnaw
in pearl-light,
in starfish glare,
see
the moon blinks on and off, I swear.
stand to - walk to the window
as a fly
desiring escape from a dollarstore tumbler.
the fluorescent and neon
buzz of it all.

is war a natural occurrence
Are wars as natural as forest fires?
The world is a restless war between India
and Pakistan's armies are ready and eager to fight
as usual, the people are ill-informed
Israel has a problem; people are in an uproar
the way the sitting regime mishandle
the constant warfare, there might be a civil war
the USA, that believes in an uni-polar world but
see they are no longer the world's ruler
Europe wants more war in Ukraine
Alexandre Dugan believes in a multi-polar world
he is correct; the age for supremacism is over
Or is it...

how you blossom ( wild things )
your strength to push through cracks
to live, and grow, stand beautiful
there is no stopping you
all glorious and brazen in your majesty
colours bold with a fragrance sought after
how you fold into nature's breath
like a cat, purring into something invisible
do you whisper back to the wind
I love you?
wishing you didn't have to leave
with the Summer
the shape of you, pure elegance
settling into every solid space
breaking out and living freely
giving life to the old worn view
vibrant trailing...

Spiritually Commissioned
Inhale and exhale and close your eyes
Let me softly memorize your mind with lullabies whispered from the skies
Shh... just flow upon the crest of my words
I will always carry you like a breeze to understand my dialect of the Dove when soaring like a Hummingbird
To the Divine Guardians, the Mothers of nature, catered by the Psalms stigmata to witness, the prophecy of rebirth shall, and will be done
Into the salvation of my bone marrow, the hieroglyphics of my temple I pulsate as one ...
