The Old Fresh Dish - Updated (Mindful-Memorable freeform) #2

Submitted by Rula on Tue, 2012-09-04 08:04

For a long time now
I've been fed
the same menu;
same meal courses
served in the form of reports
about murdered casualties,
innocent hostages,
and camouflaged conferences
to satisfy the killers
and the chairs' owners

then
you get your dessert
elegantly displayed
by our mother nature
as a volcanic eruption,
an earthquake,
or a tsunami

a satisfying meal
always served
stale
there
in the cuisine of time
for you
and me

creation (mindful, memorable freeform workshop #2)

Submitted by judyanne on Tue, 2012-09-04 01:58

we coax
embrace
pure perpetual essence
at the centre of imagination

devolve our eternal given spirit
through eons
from unconditioned, free
invisible
to dazed confinement
consigned in stardust

first consciousness
resides
wrapped
quietly hidden
the fingerprint of sentience behind
what is
has been
will be without end

while
into void
from potential
we
somehow
bring life to myth
.

passing between soft lips
the breeze-blown cloth of nightgown
and imagination
the soft skin
your cover is touching
the laces
stretch and slide across
softness kissing warmth

A brown jewel
I long to kiss
black lace releases
the mystery
braided in code
I must solve
silk black hair

Laced Destinies

Submitted by weirdelf on Thu, 2012-08-30 03:55

Each choice is not one
no fault remains undone
parting branches of each path taken
are really just this one now
diverging endlessly to a fine lace of possibilties
wrongness is right, elsewhen
nothing can be wrong, or then

but to skip across the streams of time,
to the ones I want

In this way is time truly undone,
destiny dismayed,
its hold diswayed.

Before it is too late...(Mindful Memorable Free Form WS)

Submitted by Rula on Wed, 2012-08-29 23:35

I always wanted
the hands of the cuckoo clock
to catch time;
to stop it,
or at least to slow it down
so as not to run
not to race with the lub dub beats
Of my heart
before it is too late
before death alarms aloud

"A Journey" " memorable workshop " (Second piece)

Submitted by Ian.T on Wed, 2012-08-29 16:13

A Journey

Steam shrank, pistons moved
Iron horse bucked and fled
Yet held by the sheer weight
Track bent curved and sped away

Clikety clack, was heard
Parallel lines gobbled up
Red eyes scattered on stone.
Underway, with a gentle sway.

I am smiling sat in comfort
Lulled by the sounds
Thoughts of destination
Love to be mingled with

"It's Cold"

I tried to hold it
Cold as winter snow
Slipped through my hands
Dropped on the floor

A Heartache From Within

Submitted by arja on Wed, 2012-08-29 01:18

Trapped within this adversary,
memorizing each agony,
of an era filled with pain,
with nothing to gain...

Seeing each other’s sorrow,
from a moment that's borrowed,
stolen by an entity,
leaving our souls empty...

Why do we let ourselves fall,
into the hands of those who control?
Our cry for democracy lost,
where we fought for freedom the most.

Transcending Thought

Submitted by China Blue on Tue, 2012-08-28 13:53

The power of transcending thought
A vast virgin field waits, open to exploration
so little is known about how a mind works

I would like to believe this is possible
glimpses of this unknown entity
have passed through the portals
of this persons thoughts

If one concentrates will the words
flow to a recipient?
yes,they can and have

How many would believe this so
or would it be brushed away as crumbs
of insanity?

Chrys
Keep your heart as open as a shrine(Bob Seeger)

BRANCHES (memorable free form shop)edit 1

Submitted by scribbler on Tue, 2012-08-28 12:28

I take a break along my path
which led me to be here
and my journey looking back

seems clear

Still, I recall forks aplenty
from here they all point the way
like arrows aimed straight at the past
...................toward choices passed

Indeed the last fork even now
fades with the overgrowth of time
leaving but the trail I trod
to this present piece of sod
to now
