Snore or Roar

Is it snore or resinous roar?
That gnaws the inners of my core
That rakes the embers of its dwell
That opens up the door of hell.

Ghosts of crass upheavals cast
Phantoms heaving up the past
Thunder bellowing through the hall
Full of anger full of gall

Up from doldrums rookery
Bowling down periphery
Hydra of my ID’s abide  
Swarming o’er the haunts of hide.

The reflux of an acid sin
A burning grim that stays within
The clothing gone that had its charm
And all that’s left is naked harm.

There are no angels born this world
We all grow up a little soiled.

==================================


oh man!!!
YOU DO KNOW how damn COOL this is, right?
*shaking me head at you*
Randy is in rare form in this Sy-babers and this rocks....
I am so digging the vocabulary and phrasing in this...


"doldrums rookery"
"Bowling periphery"
"Hydra of my ID's abide"  

"The reflux of an acid sin"
"The clothing gone that had its charm
And all that's left is naked harm."

Only you and Randy could turn the page, rage the stage,break out of the cage and reset the gauge with such clever rhymes!!!
I love the yin and yang of it all...
and those closing couplets...just take away my words.

Very very cool Rant Stinkylove...
tell Randy hes oh so dandy

JM,
Randy dandy sends his love and said not to worry about the dove. WE were at each other the other day and this is the result. He keeps me on my toes and tickles my nose and often fakes he's indespose. But he does fly me when I ask so I can't be too mad. Your comment was a work of art. Winkiewikie Randy Stinky.

Seymour darling boy, it seems your soul needs a little soothing today, as always of course the style and internal rhythm are excellent. The content is powerful and well written, you never write anything that isn’t always perfect.

Now about the soothing of your soul, I’m ever willing to stroke your soul darling boy, and I’m sure I’d enjoy it enormously. Wouldn’t I fit in well in a harem, don’t you wish you had one?

As always you are a superb writer and I’m always awed by the clarity of the images you manage to draw within my mind. Fabulous writing I love it utterly utterly

Don’t rage against the fated way
Flow into life and live each day
Take from your soul each single taste
Give yourself to living life’s race

Don’t face your days filled with pain
Remember love answers truths name
With hope by your side you’ll prevail
And life won’t be a long travail

Don’t let your fears hold you back
In time you’ll find the will you lack
You have to give yourself a chance
To enjoy life’s sprightly dance

This really is utterly utterly excellent writing

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy



Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Marsha,
Have I been neglecting you?
You are a part of my harem.
Each comment a story of a thousand nights.

Well, I came in immediately cuz I thought you were in a zany vein, like I, this morning. However, this is a very good, serious piece, Seymour. Enjoyed reading a lot!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Seymour darling boy no you’ve not neglected me, if anyone has been neglected it’s me neglecting you, I’ll make up for it later wicked grin.

Nancy he has a harem of course he has. And if you’ve very good I’ll plead for your admittance, but the entrance requirements are very stringent, I only got in because I cheated. I used charm and wine always useful in these circumstances.

It is honestly a fabulous piece of writing I love it xx

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Seymour, this is so very true, sweet friend, we can be angels but we all have a little bit of dirt in us all that we long to clean before we can ever shine as bright as can be! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
