The Blur of Words ~ and a few things that got lost
The memories of the loss of family
Sundry sleepy Sundays solace,
There was never another caring Church,
What was found was gladly lost then.
Found flaws in related members,
Failures in asorted relations of your own,
Pardoned by words, chanted and prayed,
Only to see life didn’t ever answer more.
Swearing allegience to legions of angels,
Unswerved by spate of discourse in the dark
Where all hearts mend the daylights burn,
Bled in every direction heading southerly.
Mothers and fathers bearing no fealty
To spawn...

Today
Nowadays are blonde,
People take throwbacks as true,
Like the earth being all flat.
The currents are black
Flowing with lost white ice caps
Where Dems fear to tread.
Life at the present time
Can’t decide what the truth is
Without a new mode.
People take throwbacks as true,
Like the earth being all flat.
The currents are black
Flowing with lost white ice caps
Where Dems fear to tread.
Life at the present time
Can’t decide what the truth is

Dreams Don't Decieve
Your mind bluffs
But dreams won't
Let you go,
They'll sort
Out chaos
Wit creates,
Hesitate
Only when
You can't spout
Because doubts
Of others
Stone your speech,
Yet you're free
To see sun
Risings truth.
But dreams won't
Let you go,
They'll sort
Out chaos
Wit creates,
Hesitate
Only when
You can't spout
Because doubts
Of others
Stone your speech,
Yet you're free
To see sun
Risings truth.

Rulena, Goddess of Darkness and Disruptions
Winter Queen and Dark Moon Oaths:
She brought more than disruption to the village of Fyrebend, a small town in the district of Kaladorei, in a new state added to the first 50 in the USA. A remote island newly formed by recent upheavals of the earth's crust during a moon eclipse event as well as a major earthquakes under the Gulf of Mexico. The country of Athea is a vast country with a population of 13968566 humans.
Athea itself is mainly covered in volcanic mountains and has a tropical climate, which has lead to a splayed out population, therefore, a...

This is a Newsletter Poll
Do any poets out there have a real following that generates an income for them? I ask because then if I do start a newsletter this would facilitate readers to continue and give a new source of income.
I'm dubious right now. Reason being i have only a small readership to produce for on Medium. I am trying to get consistent but am flagging. I am just tired. Physically and emotionally. I guess i need a vacation from the internet as well. Its time. I've been super consistent for a couple decades, more or less. That is a long azz time!!!

Rice Dish
Viscous meal
Slung in bowls
Of ready meat,
Curried spiced
Chicken bites
Stirred nice,
Legume fruits
Like black beans,
So tasty.
All go well
With gooey
Sticky rice!

Your New Ghoulfriend
He was stunned -
the stranger in front of him looked exactly like the girl he'd been dreaming about.
On this sultry Summer night a woman's shimmering outline walked towards him.
His tiny rowboat seemed useless, since he was about to leave the docks.
They left in a cabriolet.

Message in a Bottle
Dragons in a red wine bottle
Bottoms up to the sun gods arms
Where eagles fly with rainbows touched,
Glossy winged orange-yellow draco
Span horizons in sunny settings,
Dragons in a red wine bottle
Spill over upon yon cloud banks
Splashing them firey golden.
Noon reaches emotional peaks
Sprouting boughs of temporal trees,
Dragons in a red wine bottle
Left in the expanse between these pines,
Upwards bound to toast eight of cups,
Another round, six of cups is fine ...

Breathe Between the Notes
She suddenly realized she might be alone for the rest of her life.
The spider bites the finger that lit the red candle.
Stung by the flames strung between the beats.
Blood circulates in all these lines painted in sands of time.
Songs sung thread out until she ends all breath.
The spider bites the finger that lit the red candle.

Her Chariot Life
The older she got, the less sure she was about anything.
She prayed to the One. Dismissed reality the very next day.
A digitial voice says, “ We know all about the lover.” That tarot card died.
Nothing new is discovered about the light or the dark. Or why do we talk to ourselves in persona of the gods?
Ra drives the Sun into her blissful skies.

A Meety Stew
She was good enough
For cuddling and stuff
But not for a serious buff
Up to the point of licking her muff,
Even anything more than quick gropes
So all he did was buy dope
Take an offered herbal to cope
About the same as grass
In an empty smoke glass
That either knew
Wasn't a real screw,
Just morning dew
A case of Mountaindew

Touched Venusian
My shadow wears
A cloak of willow withes
A facemask to hide my pain
Dark glasses to avoid notice,
Her hair is like an fine tooth comb
Thick yet sparse in spots
My shadow is a an alien from venus
Whose skin is fireproof
Always wanting to be touched
And wanting whom it isn't touching
A cloak of willow withes
A facemask to hide my pain
Dark glasses to avoid notice,
Her hair is like an fine tooth comb
Thick yet sparse in spots
My shadow is a an alien from venus
Whose skin is fireproof
Always wanting to be touched
And wanting whom it isn't touching
