[ Heaven allures us ]

~•§•~ A Twist on a Classic ~•§•~
There's still a part of you that lingers in me; a myth I haunt and the ghost of every story I make. The traces of my brokenness are the lure of lullabies As I am chasing shadows on the crowd they're coming after you under the moonlight. What was the best thing for being a sunshine if you are a star that night can only have?

Night crawler (lure of lullabies)
Here is just another thought Going down the stream, Just another thought. Leaking from a tap With the label "purity" Just another trap   The obsessive mind gullibly bites the lure,   Obscured by clouds connections,   Concealing the large picture.     How every blast creates a reaction!     Panic attacks to draw the attention.     Where’s the crack in the grand ***** wall,     So we can strike down the reservoir? Diverting the river that must belong to all Before our eyes - wider worlds shrinking small; Cradled by the uniformity of lies that appease, Those grazing in the dunes still tarry at ease. It’s no wonder! Insecurity has grown into a most lucrative market As danger becomes the currency on which to place the bet; Release the flow from the control that profits hold fast, Question the junk food that's become the pasture of our mass.   Continuous diversions   Feeding everyone’s greed   Fulfilling false concerns -   So easily believed!     How every blast creates a reaction!     Panic attacks to draw the attention.     Will the facts in knowledge’s downfall     Let us unshackle the repertoire?

The Leak (2017)
Lure me in With a melody of trust But bury me deep Under the dust Hold out your heart But tear mine apart Leave me alone After the love you have shown

Lure Me In
the sheep keep from freezing by  huddling near  the hollow trees  the trees so hollow  they howl at the moon  as wind passes through - by Aleksander Mielnikow | Alek the Poet

The Hollow Trees
most nights you decant into my head wounds you suggest my makeup orchestrate my being and sometimes for fun prank me with ridiculous ideas that inspire some absurd social pratfall lure you make me warm and sure of myself struck and sense numbed but floss in the memory tide i am a Diving Suit but in misuse i am a suit the pressure the deep ocean filled from the inside cold darkness and nutrients   but i am filled from the inside pipette you tap drops into special valves along the sides of the aquarium helmet you decorate my inner-scape with harvesting monsters and phosphorescence you deteriorate the textile of my sadness a thorough jettison lull via your Vegas your adolescence i follow your string of lights deep sea skiving mortality embracing your malady with no ill effects ? sink deeper still i am leadened to your charge and plumb to your will deeper

flotsam — (or 'Mermayde')
You're my perception, a hallucination and I'm a lewd subconscious the subconscious in which lurks our infatuation. You're like death the death that lures me in, the death that gives me hope.

Ghost
My RIGHTEOUSNESS, like filthy rags, weighed heavily on my mind; I BID my Lord to take the weight, for I knew He would in time. ~ A quiet KNOCK on my heart's door, I answered it right away; T'was my Jesus, standing there, in His SANCTIFICATION ways. JUSTIFICATION He brought to me, the moment I opened the door; Satan would BUFFET me each day, when Jesus became my Lord. ~ When Satan threw his NET out, trying to LURE me in; His plan, it failed quite miserably, this QUACK, who was nothing but sin. ~ My Jesus, He gave me a hug, it showed His love and CARE; I knew He would never leave me, for my God is just and fair.

(WORDBANK POEM FOR MY HUSBAND)~THE KNOCK~
I am just a little lure in the universe's tackle box If it chooses to get me stuck on some rock underwater and leave me there, then so be it .

Lure
mourning echo of despair, I am alive but not in vain, your hopeless touch of deaths of joy, your wealth of thought, your tempting lure, I am but graciousness and pain, this is a wealth of deaths upon a death, a purple substance of the paralysed veins, a storm of flames up in the luring infinite, the face of sacred, the embedded truth, a love of demons and despair, suffocated in the fragrance rain, deep in the breath of time’s sexuality, a murdered youth in luxury, a hopeless, faint, exquisite memory, the burning oceans in the pure dark, the touch of lust, hypnotic mystery, a breath so freezing on the mind, the death’s alive and kills and reigns.

I Am Alive But Not In Vain
a targetable liar lured her church with cunning that it mixed fashion as salsa as she danced while her culprit was hers and swayed in the belfry but a mare of thorn in reality

Selma
I'm an image in your head flickering lights, yellow and gold I'm the idea you once had a dream's promise you hold I'm a burning desire not only in flesh but in mind one you admire the most tender of its kind If you make me real there will surely be things of lesser appeal no longer a vision but an actual me But if you're bold enough to take it all the harsh and the pure I'd make sure to go easy on you and to fall For the most simplest lure

She: an idea
congratulations on this special day remembering the gain of freedom from unjust monarchy after hard struggles for democracy and universal human rights today we also need to be aware of new dependencies and tyrannies that have since come among us quietly and with deceptive lures of easy lives and riches of glamor  reputation  millions of virtual followers & other such amenities in our age try to persuade us that these are the only worthy goals in life the most decisive loss of independence is when we do no longer feel its absence and happily embrace the bars of our golden cage

4th of July - reposted apropos ...
Her nostril bled a blood bright red Though no one was there to hit her head The magic loomed luring ladies into traps trivial that happen so fast It drew her close with a cutting corrosive blast Essence emanating, evaporating, caressing her linen Luscious power lulled her leaving senselessness Pacifying pulling, a force so perfectly relentless She fell to madness making murmurs in her mind now muddled As she rot away rare conditions rendering her useless She lay slowly dying singing songs spiritual sensual and subtle

Allurement
To tell you a story I plucked the stars Displaced the mountains Words float with thee Wandering mad and alive Yet it kills me Your distraught face Hidden beneath a mask Treacherous ways to lure Mark and hunt a naive dove Pure white Angel of love The devil you walked

Masked Maniac
I heard her calling out to me tried to ignore her, begged her to set me free but her scent, her taste kept calling to me I ached so for her to just let me be but the lure, the pull her enticing ways kept gnawing and eating at me for days and finally I gave in to her call and drank in her aroma, her scent tasted the essence of her elixir from hell and I sit here now trying to tell which way is up-- is the room spinning (or is it me?) I should have insisted she let me be, but I'm weak and her taste and lure is strong-- I should have known better-- giving into brandy has always been wrong...

4th of July
It's pulling me this need this ache this grinding all consuming addiction that I thought I had overcome only to find that it's slowly causing me to be quite undone. I crawl, literally crawl to move away to stop myself from trying to say ***please, just please come back to me-- I used to hold you close used to always have you at my beck and call and oh, my god, what I would give for just one more draw, one more puff a long, slow, lingering inhale of your taste, and yes, your scent--*** too bad I'm broke have not a dime cause I spent every penny I had left on wine and bread you see, I truly thought my love for you was dead-- but now that you're not available at all-- I find myself wishing I could just answer your lingering call...

It's Pulling Me...
That is what poets do They romanticize pain They idealize the torment There is solace in darkness Which they craft to enlighten; Lure with words The forlorn is adorned Guilt is charming Mistakes rewarding That part that is revolting The best line in their poems. That is what poets do They embellish heartbreak To cement the heartache But as soon as they leave their paper and beautiful words captivated readers Life can no longer render The adequate metaphor Agony is agony; There is no substitute for it.

That is what poets do
That smile from across the room The glance that lures your heart into a one-two you didn’t know existed Eyes the colour of the ocean but tell the story of the sea. Sentience, your love she consumes The fight for sovereignty is lost – she cannot be resisted. You can no longer be free.

How it happened...
Frosted silver whisper melt this shielded sore enlighten my dormant soul heal this stone once more . Reckless raw emotions tasteless heat, empty mirrors extinct frenzy, I dare, dazzle me with your glare . Overwhelming moon such a romantic delirium alluring shooting stars I seek, my voice to them wishes to speak. . The night lost the blues, magic labyrinth lost the clues royal keys were once stolen enchanted tower got broken . Affectionate soul, my Amber Angel the sharp flakes and memories scattered they must be through the silky roses once loved close by our Enchanted Tree © Christina Philipe

Blue Moon
Bound by the worldly verity I look up to you with woe You comfort me at times When friends have turned foe My love affair with you Isn't like the rest Cos a night with you Puts all else to test Your love is pensive Unpretentious and rich Takes me to paradise No questions, no hitch And when I lose myself You lure me again To a dose too many With that ignorance you feign. I wake up in relic In awe and in lust I know not this world, but you In alcohol I trust!!
