river of golden dreams
Seductive wayward hands Like silk, soft to the touch Travel down her lustrous skin Southbound too their destination Lips, neck combine in passion Warm breath on the neck Turns into sultry slow kisses She grips his hair tightly Her soft moans reverberate in his ear As his fingers glisten with her lust

Wandering hands
I can’t wait to be a hundred; turning over the thoughts and plots, of Caledon floating on Zimmer inserts and dusted Florsheims three steps forward in a dream woven summer afternoon Through the barn doors and bee keeper flats assimilating voices from Sachems and Forbes and Hope Healers coming and going as the countryman comes and goes You can feel it in a place like this the 3 in the tree memories of Allis Chalmers and combine parts of Sundrim poppers and shallow carp fields of patterned lawsons and fading caulk (on the ripped and rolled frontier seats) it’s a wishing well for the peddler and bold hydrangea... both peeking their way through the rusted grinders wheel

The plots of Caledon
Lie within chaos, and create comfort In visions of endless love. Riding slowly on the crest of a morning fling, and flutter, The body stutters Like a street dancer. Shine in different directions And end the yearning For a love of creativity By stripping off And darting Into a sea of uncertainty, with a sense of Unimaginable lust for what keeps you Ticking like a sturdy clock. Find the rhymes that combine With what lies inside the mind, To stumble upon the future pleasure, That you unearth with delight, As you wonder. Inspiration is born out of desire. Fuel to fire the birth of creation. The mind quakes for a taste Of the cake, that is blessed with greatness.

apricots and cigarette smoke: your smile is infectious. heat leaking through the little slit in the window: melt like cool frosters on a hot summer day - melt into me lets become solvent in this little car; (I wouldn't mind.) combine together, like our parents and parents before them. molecular; everything, anything - we are science. I am not afraid, it is you who takes the air from my gasping lungs; - look! at his beauty; divine. © A. Leigh

It's that moment when the pieces of the puzzle all combine. And you see a glorious picture that you doubted that you'd find. And then after when the pieces are inspected each with care. You see purpose and see meaning each too valuable to spare.

Epiphany
Shamans, in an attempt to find a word that all cultures could understand, to represent, universally, the subject; married the languages by root. Each attribute or thing that the beast is said to do, have or have power to do or over is found as a definition in a language of the individual roots. Take Sanskrit for instance. "Dra," is "water and combine it with Sumerian, "Gun, Gon," and you get a "water-born," beast who "writhes, twists or wraps around," which is the Ouroboros Serpent as shown in ancient images. The secret to all ancient myth or religion is in interpretation of language into foreign languages over time. And, yes, it is very creative, appears complex due to time but is just humans trying to describe observable nature. None of it is meant to be taken literally unless you literally live six thousand years ago and speak in an ancient tongue. Addendum * Keltic, "Con, Kon," makes the Dragon, "All-knowing." * And we know from Plato that Greeks stole their root words from the Celts. Plato's own words in, 'The Cratylus.'

DRA KONdefɪɴed
In the last months of March 2014, Soldier Othello the Moroccan moor Was in Stratford-upon-Avon at the graveside Of William Shakespeare the English bard, He was observing the anniversary Of Shakespeare and his European brother Cervantes, He had in his pocket another charm and amulet Given to him by his paternal grandfather, This time round not a charm for love portion, But a mystique totem to raise the dead from dusts, As Othello himself has hitherto over-matured Above the painful torture of *** with aristocrats, He has left it for the Jewish aristotrash; Frantz Kafka, Whose torturous appetite for *** with German women, Was the sorriest eyesore of his thespic efforts. Like Jesus at the grave of Lazarus Othello groaned by shouting; William the son of John! No response, he shouted again; Shakespeare the bard! Then the mystique powers of Othello’s amulet Electrified Shakespeare back to life, What is your problem you black moor, The ***** of Morocco, the soldier Who beguiled Desdemona into betrothal, Not because of glory of your work, But due to charms of your love portion Bequeathed to you by your witch mother, What brings you to my sepulchre, For only to perturbed my purgatorial peace, What brings you!? Questioned Shakespeare the bard. Am no longer the moor, blackness is class But not the race, as race is bankrupt, I come here to salute you with good news, That your European brother, Alfred Nobel, Currently rewards thespic bards like you, Whether black or white, blue or green, The ***** bards from the natural forest, He also rewards, so wake up and pick the prize! Retorted Othello in virtue of truth, And also tell me the native bricks Of your beautiful architecture; Where and how did you mold thy bricks? Your brown English bricks that walled your culture; ***** clown, leapfrog, mercurial, oxymoron, Falsitafity, Shyllocking, colleaguery and window, Cauldron, graymalkin, woo, betroth, infatuation and so on. From underneath his sepulcher Shakespeare broke A violent gaggle of laughter as if he was ten English skeletons, You Othello you are still a beautiful moor Whose foolishness time has not condemned to oblivion, You are as a fool as I created you ; I will only teach you One brick, the window , that you go and put on Your wind disturbed African huts, Put the wind door on your hut, And be flexible in your tongue To give it English elegance Combine and shorten wind and door To get your cultural brick of; window !

A catalyst is a chemical that speeds up reactions. At least that’s what I learned in chemistry class. Catalysts sometimes are the major factors in a reactions and without them, The reaction could never happen. Catalyst can be lab chemicals, alcohol, drugs, coffee even, or a person. While lounging around one afternoon you were talking physics And I turned it on your head and spoke of chemistry, Knowing full well that I was speaking of our personal chemistries. You were right, the physics of a relationship gives us the laws, But CHEMISTRY can predict the outcome. If you do the math and follow the directions, you can determine the product without even doing the experiment. Unless the reaction you are creating has never been attempted before by the scientists preforming the experiment. They can flip through the books, Read the essays, Study the theorems, Even attempt the calculations, But if they don’t do the actual experiment, They will never find their outcome. Some things need a push, A catalyst, For them to form a bond, React, And combine into a stable combination. Hypotheses must be TESTED, ACCEPTED, and RATIFIED Before becoming a law. No matter how based in logic your hypothesis might be, You need the universe and its fundamental laws to back it up. There are still surprises left in the universe. Maybe you and I can be one of them.

Catalyst for Change
Prolog: Foreplay opens with an aphrodisiac dubbed the mind caressing private chambers with passion, over time words stimulating nerve-endings for the ideal tease like the skin dripping of honey from the nectar of bees exploiting the fragrances of scented oils and balms or maybe vib’ing lyrics inducing a seductive calm compelling forces bombard the intellectual’s sanity as the proximity of the blackhole distorts humanity Love’s Play: Costars entwine heated bodies for love’s embrace as moments become endless as vectors of subspace sporadic movements take the form of blissful spasms while the players combine to mold a single plasm ringing chimes fulfill the awareness with sensations too diverse to classify for logical deliberations yet finally, the mountaintop of cliffs can be reached where there is no retreat and no return from its breach Epilog: Aftermath closes basking from the physical exertion as two kindred spirits epitomize timeless insertion gazing deeply into the abyss of the partner’s soul only to find comfort and compassion ruling the role can this be the earthly heaven that one truly beholds written in the historic words as the heavens foretold feelings ignite once again burning deeply within opening yet another intriguing act, one must attend.

Love’s Play
Your Sultry Eyes speak of Impulsive thoughts. Combine together As one, our lust and love. I hear my name unspoken In your warm unwavering gaze. Pressing kisses taste of surging need; Awakening wild passion within me.

Awakening (etheree poem)
Two halves make a whole Two hearts join to become one soul Two eyes that see one truth We see different skies but take comfort in the same moon We promised to never leave the other alone, that the love would not be gone too soon Rejoicing in the moments from heaven, Comforting each other when hell breaks loose. Together through each others mountains and rivers. Forbidden lust, forbidden love Two souls that are forced apart Two that yearn the others heart Accepting each others flaws One boy that’s far away from home, One girl that’s questioning her own But half a heart is better than none cause it can always be completed by the chosen one, But half a heart is like half a sun Would it still be as bright as the full one? Would the love be the same knowing that the other is not as strong Why must these two hearts fight what’s in their souls This burning desire This passion they hold Why must they put the flame out and become cold Why waste away the hearts of others when they know the real future is with each other Why not combine their hearts to become whole, to become one soul. But having half of anything is like having half of nothing at all It’s settling for half the love Yet it could be more Having half of love must be impossible, must be wrong -The world is only existent because of wholes One half cannot love for both One half cannot fathom growth. So why not have two halves of a heart Two broken souls Let the shattered remains of the other halves be the glue that makes these two people’s love whole Because why face the world as half a person When facing it as a whole is already near to the impossible Two halves of a heart make a whole Two hearts join to become one soul But these two halves will never join These two people will face the world alone- together, but lonely, like two sides of a coin Not knowing the existence of humanity is dependent on whether they choose to love each other or choose to let it go. The existence of humanity is dependent on all our lost souls.

Two Halves Make A Whole

Cake, the meat of culinary delights; Icing, the sauce. Cake, the main entree, the special of the night; Icing, the decorative garnish. Without Cake, Icing has no purpose A clump, a blob, of meaningless goop. 1 spoonful of Icing alone and you're done. Spread out amongst the firm surface of Cake though, Icing becomes much more interesting, and much more fun. I am the Cake. You are the Icing. Without me, the base, the entree, the meat You, the sauce, the garnish and blob, don't matter You can be the Icing to your own Cake or to another But without me, you'll do nothing but rot teeth and smother So, to enjoy you, Icing, to the absolute fullest I must, first, combine the ingredients, stir and bake Because it is vital, if one is to appreciate your sweet taste, To properly prepare my foundation, the meat, your Cake. - BPW

Fireworks!! I watch the fireworks Dancing away in the sky Pinks blues greens reds Fireworks dancing with the music They sing "watch me, watch me" And i do, i am mesmerised What sweet syncronising I catch myself dancing With the fireworks I am on cloud 9 They're still going So much energy So much passion Twirling twirling Shooting up high They light the sky Just like the stars Blue purple yellow orange Sweet sweet harmony They are alive The sky is alive I am alive I am dancing away To the beat of the fireworks They have the sky on fire The suns turned off its light And i am mesmerised with The fireworks that have lit up The dark with their own lights Dancing away in their own world Wow! The patterns! The colours combine Into one huge explosion Beauty at its peak Its brought the world together They are one like the fireworks Dancing hand in hand Laughing singing dancing away They are one

My phone clamped to my ear, Listening to you think. We were punning. (We would combine categories like ‘The Royal Mail’ and ‘Sea Life’, And come up with things like Octo-post and Cod-espondence.) That night it was ‘Crockery’ and ‘Celebrities’. You thought of Plate Moss And Camilla Parker Bowl.

If I were a chocolate bar, life with you would be so sweet Being around you, I feel like quite a treat Gotta love Hershey's: the kisses and hugs And on Valentine's Day combine with Doves Like Reeses or S'mores, we compliment one another Flowers, wine, and chocolate for a significant other If I were a chocolate bar, life could be Grand Although on a hot day, I'd melt a little faster than planned.... As a chocolate bar I'd be broken and shared Spreading gooey goodness to everyone there Maybe being a chocolate bar isn't quite for me... ... But it's fun to imagine just how it might be!

The flag, a white crescent and single star on a field of crimson — kırmızı, not just 'red' — tells of Islam. The men drinking beer and rakı at pavement tables, even in Ramadan, and the short-skirted, bare-armed girls, parading with bare-faced confidence, tell of other influences; but at the appointed hour we hear the call to prayer from the marble minaret, a slim finger pointing to the sky beside shining domes reflecting the vault of heaven. At five a.m. we hear it faintly through hotel double-glazing, or at sunset, as a peaceful accompaniment to the spectacle, and we remember where we are. But especially at the midday hour, when the voice of the muezzin echoes over noisy street or market, and from another minaret and another the duet becomes a trio, a quartet of different melodies, out of tune with each other but never discordant (in these tones the word has no meaning), the faithful are reminded, however busy they may be, that their God requires something of them. Then, entering the cool calm of the mosque, entering the quiet forest of pillars, feeling through the soles of our bare feet marble polished by the tread of generations of worshippers, fine-grained wood, the rich softness of crimson carpet, we luxuriate in the textures as they combine with the formal floral patterns of the tiles, the ornate calligraphy of the inscriptions, the rich colours of the glass, and we realise that the builders of these mosques knew what they were doing, so many years ago, how peace can enter the soul through the senses.

I stagger out of the Paradise Rock Club. 11:04pm. 42 degrees. Short sleeves, no jacket; I give zero ***** I have experienced something beyond words, but I'll try In 50 minutes it will be All Hallow's Eve, a Monday Due and not yet begun I have an essay on James Joyce and A reckoning on the occult, inner mysteries of the CPU. Again, I give zero ***** The last hour and a half were the best possible use of my time. Not 5 miles away, people I sympathize with are protesting the failure of America, But tonight I have seen her undeniable beauty: 904, as the fire code rates, packed in to the inch A choir united, the director: A man who tonight skipped his Aunt Steph's funeral at her request To be here To direct us in each anthem. In hopeful, truthful noise Our hoarse and untrained voices combine And as Mr. Key observes, against all odds, against all reason Make the most beautiful sound.                             D.B.

I assume Plato to be an authority on the Ancient Greek's tendency to combine the words of multiple mythologies sharing similar characters linguistically. The purpose of the hyphenation is to suggest the tempo and speed of the rhyme's cadence. Kalikantzaroi 'The Demon's of Earth'

The hanky he was sobbing into was crusty, ***** unwashed, unclean; yet strangely comforting to a little boy, as he cried he made his way to a culvert behind the school, some place the other kids couldn’t see him crying, it was more comfortable being near rocks -next to that watershed for some reason? He looked down at his antagonist, the scaly-green feet, they made him cry harder, he lamented… “Why have I been tormented so?” “Who gave me these feet?

Scylla’s Son
The hanky he was sobbing into was crusty, ***** unwashed, unclean; yet strangely comforting to a little boy, as he cried he made his way to a culvert behind the school, some place the other kids couldn’t see him crying, it was more comfortable being near rocks -next to that watershed for some reason? He looked down at his antagonist, the scaly-green feet, they made him cry harder, he lamented… “Why have I been tormented so?” “Who gave me these feet? Who made me this way, lizardly, scaly, an animal no?” “What class am I, what species? Are those toenails, claws or a disease?” “The way I’m treated makes me sad. Where is my mommy, where is my dad? “Did I come from an egg? Didn’t we all? Why do they pick on me, make me feel so small?” “My feet are reptilian even I can see that!” “Am I part lizard?

For certain he hath seen all perfectness Who among other ladies hath seen mine: They that go with her humbly should combine To thank their God for such peculiar grace. So perfect is the beauty of her face That is begets in no wise any sigh Of envy, but draws round her a clear line Of love, and blessed faith, and gentleness. Merely the sight of her makes all things bow: Not she herself alone is holier Than all; but hers, through her, are raised above. From all her acts such lovely graces flow That truly one may never think of her Without a passion of exceeding love.

Sonnet: Beauty Of Her Face
In My Salad Days Salad Days **Wikipedia: Modern use, especially in the United States, refers to a person's heyday when somebody was at the peak of his/her abilities, not necessarily in that person's youth.**                         ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Salad Hints of tints of golden pear skins, combine with ruby'd cranberries each a face, the cheeks of alcoholic old men, each wrinkle, a life's recording. All are mates for the marcona almonds nestling, playing hide n' go seeking tween silk sheeted leaves of butter lettuce. All dressed to the nines, underneath a top hatted, cravatted, Fred Astaire marinade. Coated, bathed, loved, protected by a vinegar of balsams, aged grape must, pressed, a lovely, desirable color, a brown and bronzed rust, pressed, then left, to easy rest for oh so many years, like I do, easy resting, when  you feed me in My Salad Days. The Days Though it was a life,  decades destructed Millenniums of de minimus, Forty plus Seders of exile, of hell, Marked by promises, whispers, horseradish tears of Next Year and Jerusalem, Time steeped in a tradition of patient waiting. Each year, recorded by a spot of red wine Purposely Spilled, By my father on unbleached Passover tablecloth, To example, to symbolize that Messiness in life, Is O.K. The Salad Days Salad served with irony generous, When beard greyed and scraggly, White speckled, wisps of sea salt, All my youthful greenery, long wilted. Yet the words herein writ are my Afikomen, my just dessert, My victory song of Hallelujah Just before we eat, celebrating My Feast of Ascension, marking a Delayed Arrival, yet right-on time of My Salad Days. It was only when I was resurrected as two bodies, A pair of cuffed links coupled, In My Salad Days, With the taste of freedom, A first-born infant survivor, Was I rebirthed, and to the fore, risen. When words fell from smiling lips, and Rain and tears flew upwards, and Each and every breath was an Amen.
