body of a retrograde amnesiac
from an unfortunate met road

Not a cloud in the sky.
This will be my last post on DUP .
The writers on this site are brilliant and prolific ,so much so that instead of writing I'm spending too much time reading .I need to return to my books.There is a fascinating variety of contributors here and without knowing each one personally, I think all feel compelled to write to help free themselves from suffering.
So for all those who have suffered please enjoy this piece from Rumi....one of my faves.

Angels
(Fia Naturie/Billy Snagg)
I cannot compare thee to anything.
One look stops the very air that I breathe.
As angels kiss lips as soft as dew, sing,
For all that I yearn will make me believe.
And I carry on musing just the same,
Through life's tribulations, dancing a tune.
Loving each other, there can be no shame,
Proceeding in time to the sound of June.
Now when I think back to those pastures ripe -
Carefree and joyous for all we were worth,
Even on days we would carry a gripe -
Still you're my sunshine, my heaven on...
I cannot compare thee to anything.

And I carry on musing just the same,

Loving each other, there can be no shame,
Proceeding in time to the sound of June.
Now when I think back to those pastures ripe -
Carefree and joyous for all we were worth,
Even on days we would carry a gripe -
Still you're my sunshine, my heaven on...

Limp Sound Display (Collaboration with Vision_of_insanity)
Unwind the clock
there far beyond the beyond
where there is no one else
the world's on fire
on the waters he walks
humanity also walks...
passing the time with song
humming happy thoughts
Mouse falls into a trap
volcanoes explode islands
birds in my tree
birds destroy their nests
a rainy day, wash the hate away
like seahorse cowboys
singing their song
mushroom clouds dissipate
strawberries mean love
Let your body go with the wind
let your body free from your mind

R.I.P. Cassini
Oh stalwart vessel! Did siren ring song
snare you like an Odyssean sailor?
They say your conversion did not take long
from probe to vaporized con trailer.
Armchair trailblazers now salute you
and your glance into the vast unknown.
Now you mix with the Saturnian dew,
or perhaps through hexagonal storms are blown.
Like bold chest clutching stage deaths of yore
you bravely gave yourself to the ages
all to make room for some alien spore
Instead of Earth borne microbial rages.
You brought us the music of the spheres... ...

Poetique Reserve
Spiraling dreams become fetus
Unraveling quasar apparatus
Utterance of a spell cast
Vast threshold unsurpassed
Darkness in a brash flash of light
White with possibilities
Painting a canvased sense of sight
Absorbed into pitched sensibilities
I feel your nimble appendages
Over the keys setting the possibilities free
Disconnected from passages
Through the past reconnected in the distillery
Crystallized in amber illuminated
By an internal eternal fire
Meeting with other fires fated
Ever...

Adora
It's time to tell your parents.
I want them to know
that you will be okay.
That you will have joy
above the weight of common things.
That their concern may cease.
That you will hold onto happiness
every day, like apples in a basket.
That I will cradle you
in the now,
as they had, decades past.
I will cradle you
during movies
eclipses
any of the pauses
that may present itself.
And I will wrap around you,
during the midnights,
when the wolves within mankind howl. ...

First of all I'd like to express my sadness that this site will no longer be in a couple of months.
I've met some great writers and folk on here since joining last year, if any of you's are on any of the following apps it would be great to stay in touch and likewise send me yours, I'll leave them in the 'about me' section too.

Your Feet
Your feet
are deeply callused
to the point
of almost
being hooves
your toes are mini mangled tree limbs
with long
granite-like toenails
as i lovingly massage your feet
a pile of fine
dead skin
collects in my lap
i could massage your feet
all day
because it brings you bliss
and because they are yours
are deeply callused
to the point
of almost
being hooves
your toes are mini mangled tree limbs
with long
granite-like toenails
as i lovingly massage your feet
a pile of fine
dead skin
collects in my lap
i could massage your feet
all day
because it brings you bliss
and because they are yours

This Song (It's for You)
You showed up in a dream last night
and you were not ok
You never said a word,
but tears were rolling down your face
I didn’t ask you questions,
just held you while you cried
And when I woke, the rain
was pouring down outside
I know that I can’t call you,
How random that would seem
We’re really not that kind of friends,
We only talk in memes.
I’m not the one you’d turn to
if things were going wrong,
But you’re the one who crashed my dream,
so I’m writing you this song.
...

in memory of the peculiar crimes unit
christopher fowler died in march.
his novels were the best things since dickens: his characters, his depiction
of london, his detectives, bryant and may, brought the city alive upon blackfriars bridge they continue to live ..

this would be so much easier if you could just read my mind
I tell you you're easy to talk to
and you look at me like you just got friend zoned
which was never my intention
cause what I say isn't what I mean
And I wish you could hear the words
between everything I don't say
like I can’t look at you without
imagining how your mouth would taste
after another cup of tea
or how you make me feel safe
and we should get naked some time
when I’m less scared of the way
you make me feel
So instead of saying the words between the silence
I ask you if you’ve ever had a threesome ...
