The Luscious Fog
I had jumped over time itself to find you
To the delicious tinkle of dice being rolled
Your lips caressed me like a luscious wet fog
As you draped words over me like a rich cloth
You opened the very gates of your mysterious world
And enticed me in to sit at your feet in wonder
As I yearned for some sign of who I was to be
But suddenly I was lost with no clues nor lines
You were like a rare and delicate precious flower
And foolishly, I gripped what I could not have
But was the delicacy just an illusion, obscured by the fog?
Your beauty beguiled and seduced, merciless in desire
But the promise of the silent mist lay unmet
And smiling, I walked away, unrequited yet somehow content
Time had lured us, then suddenly abandoned us
And now all was unwound in a mysterious puzzle
The silence of my going was sudden and quick
Yet was there any other way to rewind again?
Are all puzzles meant to be solved or left alone?
But time builds heat and the fog always comes

Suddenly Silence
Where there was communication,
Suddenly silence.
Where there was conversation,
Suddenly silence.
Where there was interaction,
Suddenly silence.
Where there were possibilities,
Suddenly silence.
Where there was happiness,
Suddenly silence.
So where have you gone,
That suddenly you are silent?
What is your reason that
Suddenly you are silent?
How will I know why
You are suddenly silent?
Must I be suddenly silent, too?

Suddenly
Orbison/melson
Suddenly, my heart stood still
Suddenly, the sight of you gave me a thrill
Suddenly
Suddenly, i see you everywhere
Suddenly, all at once i seem to care for you
Suddenly
So suddenly i found you
To think you were near all the time
I've often been around you
I don't know how i could have been so blind
Suddenly, my world is new
Suddenly, suddenly there's only you
Suddenly
So suddenly i found you
To think you were near all the time
I've often been around you
I don't know how i could have been so blind
Suddenly, suddenly you're my dream come true
Suddenly, suddenly there's only you
So suddenly

A Flower Standing in the Dew
A single flower that was standing in the dew
Enduring in the mist
With the most spectacular hue
I walked away only to turn around
I bent over
To cull it from the ground
I couldnt let it stay
I had to take it with me
Seal it air tight in an album
So I could always admire it's beauty
That's why I looked twice
when I saw the flower again
No stem or petals this time
What I discovered was a friend
One who is just as marvelous
as the flowers hue
I couldnt pass by
So I turned around and chose
How precious you are to me
Only God really knows
Beautiful, delicate
Yet you still remain strong
A single flower standing in the dew
A flower
A flower
You

To a GItana Dancing
Because you are fair as souls of the lost are fair,
And your eyelids laugh with desire, and your laughing feet
Are winged with desire, and your hands are wanton, and sweet
Is the promise of love in your lips, and the rose in your hair
Sweet, unfaded, a promise sweet to be sought,
And the maze you tread is as old as the world is old,
Therefore you hold me, body and soul, in your hold,
And time, as you dance, is not, and the world is as nought.
You dance, and I know the desire of all flesh, and the pain
Of all longing of body for body; you beckon, repel,
Entreat, and entice, and bewilder, and build up the spell,
Link by link, with deliberate steps, of a flower-soft chain.
You laugh, and I know the despair, and you smile, and I know
The delight of your love, and the flower in your hair is a star.
It brightens, I follow; it fades, and I see it afar;
You pause: I awake; have I dreamt? was it longer ago
Than a dream that I saw you smile? for you turn, you turn,
As a startled beast in the toils: it is you that entreat,
Desperate, hating the coils that have fastened your feet,
The desire you desired that has come; and your lips now yearn,
And your hands now ache, and your feet faint for love.
Longing has taken hold even on you,
You, the witch of desire; and you pause, and anew
Your stillness moves, and you pause, and your hands move.
Time, as you dance, is as nought, and the moments seem
Swift as eternity; time is at end, for you close
Eyes and lips and hands in sudden repose;
You smile: was it all no longer ago than a dream?

My Life
My life...
Is not one of strife,
But magic.
Within this mental illusion shared.
Detailed with meaning,
Everywhere.
And everywhere,
It is there!
Breeding in a sea,
That's of a vast cosmicness.
A precious gem.
Within a precious gem.
That's within and without...
Description.
This depiction,
Is nonfiction!
My life...
Has to be right,
For this time.
Or why would I find it,
Mysterious?
And dramatic.
With twists and turns,
Numerically graphic.
Perfectly mathematic.
Emphatically glad I am!
And ever so ecstatic.
Yes!
Created by creations created!
Doing this at its best.
To nest within the mind,
Of a divine ego.
On a mission uncontested.
You may call this experience,
Whatever you wish!
But this life that exist,
Is mine!
My life...
I find,
In this time given.
Will be lived.
As it is.
Until it isn't delicious...
In this wondrous animation,
That picks every bit of this that fits.
Sitting from realms no one can touch!
To marvel at all of it!
And you!
And YOU.
And...YOU too,
Are observed and being viewed.
Like sketches on a canvas etched.

Lost
We lost our words
Something has gone
Something unplanned
But who are we
To stop what we cant
Where's the warm greet
Only silent wash our feet
Draw a distance
Me...Away from you
The sign you point it
Nobody guilty
The broken occur naturally
Unintentionally
We lost our grip
like we are two ships
Lost in stormy seas
Wind drew destiny
Reach different harbour
Our lips silence sealed
We walk together but
In two different dimensions
At two different directions
Without a word left
Without any regret
Decision was made
As you want it
A while or Or..
Or maybe we lost it all?
You cant deny
Our life got infected
Bruises consume the strength
You hold me loosely
To lost me slowly
The soul ruptured
The spirit folded
It's all right
Promise me
Blooming smiles forever
Cheer a bud of flower
Make it eternal
Take your way
If that make u feel better
Time will flows like a river
And you will forget me later
Waves, pull me away
Send me to a new land
Where i cant make people hurt
Sweet little sacrifice
For me to you
You
Lost
Me
For your sake

The Paradox Of Time
Time can build
Yet time can break.
Time can hurt
And yet,
Time can heal.
Time is mysterious
Yet, so powerful.
Time can be on your side
Or time can break you apart.
Time can give you all
But time can take away all.
Still…
Time is so mysterious,
And will be forever powerful.
Perhaps…
Time was on my side
When it brought you to me.
The ray of the sun
That your hair embraces
As serene as the sunset
Your face I will remember
And as blue as the clear sky
Your eyes it reflects.
Time can build
Yet time can break.
Time can hurt
And yet,
Time can heal.
Time is mysterious
And will remain powerful.

The beat is rough and I aint playing
Mysterious things we like to know
Secret things that you never showed
A vision of something youre driving for
You gave me the key and I opened the door
Theres something between us, you and me
cause your love is like a unsolved mystery
A: a mystery is what you are to me
R: you keep me guessing, I feel like stressing
All the time yeah you blow my mind
I dont know what I am searching for
Everytime youre around, youre asking for more
Im interested to know what you are all about
Youre the only on without a doubt
Youve got me acting so delirious
Everything about you girl; mysterious
R: something you want to figure out but you dont know how? mysterious
R: you move mysterious
You look mysterious
You are mysterious
So mysterious

You touch me that way, my souls of above

No way of controlling my body; mysterious

Suddenly
It's Independence Day I'm free
And it's a strange place to be
I'm gonna break these chains
Unleash the changes in me
I see an endless road
I feel the restless wind
I've lost the fear inside
Cause I've got no choice
But to live or die
Suddenly you're in this fight
alone
Steppin' out into the great
unknown
And the night's the hardest
time
When the doubts run through
your min
Cause suddenly you find your
self alone
Suddenly you find yourself
In an empty room
With a suitcase on the floor
It'll be daylight soon
I'm gonna wage my private
war
Who's watchin' over me
Must be a guardian angel
I just need time to breathe
And give my life
The best of me
[Chorus]
Suddenly you're in this fight
Steppin' out and then
[Chorus]
Suddenly you're in this fight
alone
Steppin' out into the great
unknown
And the night's the hardest
time
When the doubts run through
your min
Cause suddenly you find your
self alone
Suddenly you find yourself

The One With A Silver Thorn (By Mimi C Mata)
With insubordinate step;
You go looking onward
across your pastures...
Where restless roses
lay their heads.
You see that she is no other
than the rose
with a silver thorn.
You know the one
that frightens you,
when you wish to gather
her magnificence
in your hands...
velvet petals; trembling
rolling off to shiver
in other distances...
Submerging her fragrant fragments
in one of the cold lakes
that drown her merciless dreams
for a voice.
You ponder:
and have lost the peripheral
vision in dire quest
for another soul to touch...
And you ask,
Have I fallen in love
with the one with a silver thorn?
And suddenly your darkness pauses
As all the stars shut their eyes...
Every so often blinking
in thoughtful precaution
for the blinded steps that you make,
Towards the one with a silver thorn...
They are silent
they have no answer
they do not know
they do not understand...
Forget their gestures
of leaving you...
For a single thought
twilights a profound desire
for the drowning muddled fate
that beckons...
She awaits;
the one with the silver thorn...
'Forget about the blood sacrificed
for her soul has already died'...
The stars say...
So you jump with unsteady feet
into the mysterious cold lake
to save the one whose stem
your heart wishes to clench...
The one with the silver thorn
Suddenly your darkness pauses
and all the stars shut their eyes
no longer blinking...
They have left you,
They are silent
they have no answer
they do not know
they do not understand...
How your heart wishes to clench
with desire with love
the stem of the one...
With the silver thorn.
Mysterious Beautiful Stranger
I once upon a time dreamt of a beautiful mysterious stranger
He didn’t wear a mask or a cloak and no he wasn’t Zorro
He opened up my heart and let himself in
Don’t ask of me how or when
He handed me the key
And now I hold it safe
This mysterious beautiful stranger
Bears gifts of flowers each time he visits
No not Roses or Orchids
But beautiful simple wildflowers
Buttercups and Daisies with a few Peonies
We sit at the table and talk about poetry
Sipping on hot coffee
We laugh and giggle and share precious talk
Listening to Mozart and Vivaldi
Bringing the seasons to our hearts
This mysterious beautiful stranger
With eyes that smile and would bring the moon to her knees
Laughter full of gaiety that summons a dance to your feet
Wise for his years ambitious young vivacious and bright
So very full of life
He wants to break all limits and cross every border
Just so that he can live his life but not to some fiddlers tune
This mysterious beautiful stranger
A glimpse of him I did see
A place in my heart and a room in my home
A friend for life and a sister for keeps
So here’s a heartful of love n stuff
A heartfelt prayer to turn my dream into a reality
Especially for you
My mysterious beautiful stranger

Spider (3-24-09) #1-3 by LaClaire Mitchell Nzerem
#1.
You entreat us with your cold merciless patience.
Cruel spider,
piously waiting,
carefully calculating.
Even me? ! In,
in my own laundry room! ?
Stare me down from lock- turning
key twists
I as I enter exhausted- fighting cars
on route 422 near the construction site
by Upper providence, PA.
Etching around on silent, secret feet.
And I
though a monster in compare, feel
chilled and afraid.
#2.
Afraid? ! in my own house! ? Nonsense! !
Shamed by your smug benevolent look and smirk
at even my existence, I.
Began to examine my
shortcomings and achievements, I confess and promise
to improve, priest of my long overdue repentences.
Oh dark shrouded mysterious enterloper.
Silent death angel
staring pointedly from a dusty silkened throne.
Multiocculared, visually lensed and dangling
from a fragile bungee cord of anticipation.
Contemplating who lives contemplating
mi-nute intervals
seconds or,
how much longer it will be.
How much time will be allowed
you, turning upside down the sandclock and spinning dice across
a trapezoid of
ornate geometricity.
#3
Extensions, how many times! ?
How many times have you warned them and they have
blindly walked in
feigning to be clueless in knowing.
Knowing you to be the weaver of trapline and netted nightmares.
Yet they would dare you foolishly taking chances,
at escaping snares
chancing traps and captive centrifuges? !
Gatekeeper of time and matter
judge, defendant and jury
multitasker of existences
then after studying,
meditating so long
one particular little life so long before moving in:
An elegy to one particular little life,
farewell, my unsensible
foolhardy friend,
farewell,
so long.

Warning
When my mind dragged into the darkness
My feet suddenly stop and I become bored
It’s a warning, my heart could feel
Before my life is taken away from me
I should run and find the light again
When my soul swift into despair
My clock suddenly frozen and I become lonely
It’s a warning, my body starts shaking
Before my faith fly away from me
I should turn and catch my wings of hope
When my love tainted by deceit
My eyes suddenly blocked and I become ignorant
It’s a warning, my instinct is calling
Before my hate conquers me
I should hold on and break the storm
When I’m lost in clown world
My fear suddenly clear and I want to scream
It’s a warning, my truth is here
Before the mist thickening
I should be strong and find my reason to dream

And Suddenly The World Goes Dark
to Simoncelli
The night lost its star
And suddenly the world goes dark
The light turns out to dim
And I barely see the clear sight
The life without you
And suddenly the world goes blind
Where did you go from this way
And what you left behind
The love lost its warmth
And suddenly the world goes cold
Did the wind blow too strong
Or did I forget to take my breath
The face without smile
And suddenly the world goes hard
I could only feel bitterness
And the cry of sorrow screaming inside

Time Waits
TIme gave me a window to be here
Time made me some space
Allowed me... entry
Blink, children have grown
They're on their own
Years, swift as a day
Before you know
Go blazing away
(Chorus)
I'll live like forever is now
Because time waits for no one
And tomorrow just may not come 'round
Because time waits for no one
When we're gone
Only love goes on
Time, its seamless illusion seduced me
Time, to show me the ropes
Enticed me
To waste it
But truth is much better seen
Within our dreams
Life's infinite thread
Unraveling
Then starting again...
(Repeat chorus)
(chants) Time waits for no one it all seems to happen
so fast (Time won't wait, oh no)
No end, no beginning.I'll live like each moment's
the last (Time won't wait, oh no)
Just when it's over the journey has merely begun
(Time won't wait, oh no)
No you, no me, in the end there is only the one
(Time won't wait, oh no)

Surprise Me Again
Well I remember the day when she said go away
I rearrange my hair
Well I cant take anymore
I bought some natural food
And then I fell on the floor
Well I cant take anymore
I need a change of address
By the way, why cant you smile
She said at first it was great
And in the middle I stayed
But at the end I was sick
I said Ive got to get out quick
Then you suddenly smiled
You took me by surprise
You suddenly smiled
You took me by again
Well I remember the time
Wrapped up nice and cosy
She was washing my hair
Well I was thinking of midnight, falling in love
Watching the rain fall
When we relax Im going to sleep on your chest
And listen to your beats
And lets go to norway, live in rain and snow
And get totally depressed about nothing
At all really hello
Then you suddenly smiled
You took me by surprise
You suddenly smiled
You took me by again
You suddenly smiled
You suddenly smiled, again and again
You cant smile
Then you suddenly smiled
You took me by surprise
You suddenly smiled
You took me by again
You suddenly smiled
You suddenly smiled
You suddenly smiled
You suddenly smiled
You took me by again

In Another World
This is the first time on my own
This is the first time I've ever been alone like this
The silence covers wall to wall
I never knew how suddenly the night can fall
Far away
I can here the city screams
Drift away
I could be beside you in my dreams
[Chorus:]
In another world
I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world
But not in this world
I have no stronghold to defend
But still my heart is outside, beating at the door again
No promises to make or keep
And though I'm free to go
I end up chasing sleep again
Drift away
Wonder if you think of me
Yesterday, is the place I'm going endlessly
[Chorus]
And though I realize the truth
Is not idealized in you
Why should I be surprised to find
That you are always on my mind
[Chorus 2x]
This is the first time on my own
This is the first time I've ever been alone like this
The silence covers wall to wall
I never knew how suddenly the night can fall
Far away
I can here the city screams
Drift away
I could be beside you in my dreams
[Chorus]
In another world
But not in this world
I have no strong hold to defend
But still my heart is outside, beating at the door again
No promise to make or keep
One thought I'm free to go
I end up chasing sleep again
Drift away
Wonder if you think of me
Yesterday, is the place I'm going endlessly
[Chorus]
And though I realize the truth
Is not that I desire in you
Why should I be surprised to find
That you are always on my mind
[Chorus 2x]
This is the first time on my own-acap

You Can Never Go Home Again
Its been forty years or so
But the dreams still remain
And, in them, I enter happiness.
I race home from school
And burst through the gates.
Where
My father
As always
Awaits with an ever ready smile.
The sun shines behind me
And his crisp ironed shirt does not prevent him
From lifting me up in his arms.
My father does not fear wrinkles..
I speak
In my sleep, a foreign tongue
It bursts from my lips
Like an overripe mango.
And,
I awake, remembering...
I was there again.
Now
After forty years
I walk over the threshold
To a home I remember from my dreams.
I must contain my emotions
Seal them in for I will burst.
I have traveled over land and sea
To stand here.
Perhaps
I was hoping as my feet touched this familiar earth,
I would go back in time...
I half expected my father's ghost to greet me.
Cigarette casually held between pearly white teeth.
His arms ready to embrace the son
He left so suddenly.
The rug was swept up from under me and
My lunges had the breath sucked out from them.
I was hoping to regain some lost oxygen.
My composure slips,
Cracks
Like these old walls that seem to have held the
Same memories I remember.
It's as if they knew I'd come back.
This was all they had left to give
And they waited for me.
They too had been dreaming of better days.
Long ago we lost a lot
The day my father died so suddenly.
I held the dirt from the courtyard in my hands and
Inhaled for his sent,
Caressed the iron gates as if I were touching
My long gone fathers face
And let the tears finally come.

A Beautiful Flower
I have a flower, Yes I have picked a beautiful flower,
One with greatest strength like a tree with mightiness and power,
Power of faith beyond any measure,
Yet precious and few like a beautiful treasure.
How precious its love it shares,
How very precious sweet and rare.
Easily lost as colors are tossed on the tides,
For those who tend to set it aside.
Beauty beyond their eye’s is what I have gained as a prize,
And keeping it, is what makes my heart so wise.
It may seem like neglect on their part,
But neglect has not been the wish of their heart.
Why so often many are in a rush,
The beauty of this flower is often a hush.
I praise my flower for its humbleness,
Staying that way always brings forth its beautifulness.
Yes my flower that I have I would gladly share,
To those who appreciate my gift that is rare.
This flower is a gift and I will tell you why,
Because its known for its beauty that will never die.
For if my flower and me ever depart,
The beauty of it will always be found in my heart.
Yes I have a flower, a beautiful flower to name,
It would have to be beautiful,
it would have to meet its beauty inside and out the same.
For that isn’t hard to do, Why you don’t even need a clue,
For I could have never have picked a better you,
My Dear Friend (put name here)….. Its true.
A name, that’s beautiful as you.

The Beauty Of Her Precious Lips
The beauty of her precious lips
Can take my breath away -
I tingle to my fingertips
And can't think what to say!
I blurt out words that don't make sense
And folly breaks love's spell!
Perhaps one day we can be friends,
But only time will tell...
I pray to God for some advice -
I can't do this alone.
Although I've got to break the ice,
Such skills I've never known.
To say, 'I LOVE YOU! ' right out loud,
That's quite beyond me now!
I've never stood out from the crowd,
So God must help somehow!
The beauty of her precious lips...
Yes, I know what bliss is!
In my romantic daydream trips,
She's the Queen of Kisses!
I know I'm not the kind of guy
To sweep her off her feet,
But love deserves a second try
With someone who's so sweet...
If she's the one I'm meant to wed,
I'd like God on my side
Until our Wedding vows are said,
When I may kiss my bride...
