721 Behind Me—dips Eternity— Before Me—Immortality— Myself—the Term between— Death but the Drift of Eastern Gray, Dissolving into Dawn away, Before the West begin— ’Tis Kingdoms—afterward—they say— In perfect—pauseless Monarchy— Whose Prince—is Son of None— Himself—His Dateless Dynasty— Himself—Himself diversify— In Duplicate divine— ’Tis Miracle before Me—then— ’Tis Miracle behind—between— A Crescent in the Sea— With Midnight to the North of Her— And Midnight to the South of Her— And Maelstrom—in the Sky—

Behind Me—dips Eternity
O tower of light, sad beauty that magnified necklaces and statues in the sea, calcareous eye, insignia of the vast waters, cry of the mourning petrel, tooth of the sea, wife of the Oceanian wind, O separate rose from the long stem of the trampled bush that the depths, converted into archipelago, O natural star, green diadem, alone in your lonesome dynasty, still unattainable, elusive, desolate like one drop, like one grape, like the sea.

Tower Of Light
The Kingdom of Morocco has a rugged mountain interior which reminds me of the British meal of mince and potatoes. But hold that thought, and examine our seemingly superior Western legislation. Just like the pickle, the dynasty of death is a brazen festival percussionist who is celebratory in her bitter and gustatory inevitability. Jizyah is that taxation which is imposed upon those who fail to conform to those expected societal norms. Although we have the status quo, one cannot help but wonder what happened to the rectitudes of individuality and paradoxical equality? So, where do we go, oh navigator of the great and mighty West? Marrakech or Rabat? I have no concrete awareness of where solace is to be found. I am lost! Therefore, I can only offer the following direction: Contemplate the ever-changing intricacy of the dunes in anthropological amazement and acknowledge the sky at night. Allow the celestial pole of the North Star to speak to your deep uncertainty. Our purpose is openly displayed if we simply open our heart in the midst of our Bedouin oasis. That, my friend, is the essence of being psychosocial.

Arabian Spiritual Biodiversity
The smile of iceboxes annihilates me. Such blue currents in the veins of my loved one! I hear her great heart purr. From her lips ampersands and percent signs Exit like kisses. It is Monday in her mind: morals Launder and present themselves. What am I to make of these contradictions? I wear white cuffs, I bow. Is this love then, this red material Issuing from the steele needle that flies so blindingly? It will make little dresses and coats, It will cover a dynasty. How her body opens and shuts -- A Swiss watch, jeweled in the hinges! O heart, such disorganization! The stars are flashing like terrible numerals. ABC, her eyelids say.

Tatu ng ang aming pag-ibig ( Tattoo of our love) filipino tongue
Duck Dynasty has been replaced by the folks at “A” & “E”. we’re “GLAAD” to hear they lost their spot to Zeus and company. It’s felt the morals of Zeus ‘clan Reflect the zeitgeist better. Zeus is fond of little boys, Swans, and shapely heifers. Hera, his wife, of all her kids, loves Artemis the most. Apollo and Athena Leave no room for the “Holy ghost” Dionysus will do well while hawking wine and beer. Though Polyphemus freaks me out Fans say he is a dear. So tune in for the Sausage fest And watch the hunt for ****** The role of Ganymede has been cast- He’s played by Justin Bieber.

Zeus and Company
Me and you, doing what we do. Under the sheets; Keeping secrets, behind your back. looking at your interview, and I, love the view. You ****** me, I’m ******* you; now its back to you. lifting your skirt up, easy access for me and you. Getting deep; taking in all of me. Giving you multiple choices; take it in. me climb on top, you riding me. With, no surprise to me, you; end up, picking all three. Inside of you; Me covered with thee; sexually: hot and all juicy. Good Girl; Naughty thoughts, feeling filthy. Go a-head, blame it all on me. It’s building up, feel the intensity. Handling my business; by loving your company. It is what it is, because it’s meant to be. Love is everything, so you will be the death of me. Giving it to me so good, your antidote. Is like dope to me. Love potion, Seducing me. Sexually, spiritually, physically and mentally. Event filled nights; eventually. Lost in deep thoughts; hopefully You are, understanding me, while looking up at; I marvel at what I see. Your nectar, taste like honey from the finest be. Fruit, fit for a God; hand picked for me. My kingdom come, is one thing. But my Hung Dynasty; is something you have to see. My thunderbolt, will pardon your seas, as your waves of passion ride over me; I vibe with the motion of your ocean: blowing our minds. Your Ocean spray; splashed all over me. Giving her-a- cane, and made her purple rain: She giggled, because it was embarrassing.

The Ephemeral Compassionate Leave of Transmigration.
The Lollipop King, with his mighty staff, Flavored all the colors of the rainbow, Enticing me with what he has To places where I must not go. His lust-soaked pheromones masked with licorice Entice the hearts of the fair maidens of the land. While I too have fallen victim to his confectionary wishes, Of this courtship and this romance became something unplanned. I have now found my way into this lollipop dynasty, Becoming another member of this sisterhood of sugar. But the difference with me, if you’ll lean close, you see, Quoth the Lollipop King, “I do not want to lose her.” And always alone I’ll say to myself: When will his time come to place me on the shelf?

The Lollipop King
Her Imperious Canticle rewarded From the butterflies of monarchy Mermaid scales are her bouquet An ombre is the debut Crystal corals are the stars on her face Below pink rings that scale a tune Which the winged beauties will charm in too An amazing debut for the see through Of a dynasty that glows in the prism moon.

Of Prisms and Opera Bones
Current affairs, making family disappear. Blood thicker than water; I can't see that from over here. Haters show hate, to hide their fears, hide their faults by dissing piers. Their hands weak so they dis their peers. Weak-minded; Diss-impaired. Test the truth and get dared Like something that's undeclared. Put a ring around your rosey, Then I’m taking a chair. The kingdom come; The dynasty is aire.

You choked on chariots raw. Red egg yolk suppers, churned of the milk oceans this morning you kept. The lintel of stone turned toward dusk. Some great dynasty of submissive spirits catering your morning Out on a cart of muse, forms of heaven cannot even hear you. You are a soporific knot in the tale of your Old womanhood. In this infinite Tuesday morning your small black eyes, like an oil tanker toppling over The intense azure sea- shipwrecked, and lost. Departing from your childhood you slurp Coca-Cola from a silver straw. From the corner store and inside Winter yawns. There is no face, only strikingly beautiful black hair. The body under you is at home in all My hand's fingers have to fill. All the clothes that you could carry for the two-way adventure. There are Never enough bubbles between your lips and the glass bottle you have. Only the score of the whistleblower. And the poor symphony you had prayed for into the dial-tone phone, the deep Wilderness, that stiff forever-ago budding from your coffee cup. Neurogenesis lifted from your Fingerprints and emblazoned into this lump of human ingenuity. The hopeless octave that cut us all short. Every short story that was left untold. There are the brief deaths recoiling in your spiritual architecture. The ****** of morphia has bourn me awake. Inside you are often unscathed, vanishing as some of Tonight's parts assemble you, on you blue is a beautiful color. The sweet retreat that gave you life or the bountiful deaths that counted you too cutely by your side. You are the sun in my black coat. Here is my sea, your sea, you'll see.

A fisherman is drifting, enjoying the spring mountains, And the peach-trees on both banks lead him to an ancient source. Watching the fresh-coloured trees, he never thinks of distance Till he comes to the end of the blue stream and suddenly- strange men! It's a cave-with a mouth so narrow that he has to crawl through; But then it opens wide again on a broad and level path -- And far beyond he faces clouds crowning a reach of trees, And thousands of houses shadowed round with flowers and bamboos.... Woodsmen tell him their names in the ancient speech of Han; And clothes of the Qin Dynasty are worn by all these people Living on the uplands, above the Wuling River, On farms and in gardens that are like a world apart, Their dwellings at peace under pines in the clear moon, Until sunrise fills the low sky with crowing and barking. ...At news of a stranger the people all assemble, And each of them invites him home and asks him where he was born. Alleys and paths are cleared for him of petals in the morning, And fishermen and farmers bring him their loads at dusk.... They had left the world long ago, they had come here seeking refuge; They have lived like angels ever since, blessedly far away, No one in the cave knowing anything outside, Outsiders viewing only empty mountains and thick clouds. ...The fisherman, unaware of his great good fortune, Begins to think of country, of home, of worldly ties, Finds his way out of the cave again, past mountains and past rivers, Intending some time to return, when he has told his kin. He studies every step he takes, fixes it well in mind, And forgets that cliffs and peaks may vary their appearance. ...It is certain that to enter through the deepness of the mountain, A green river leads you, into a misty wood. But now, with spring-floods everywhere and floating peachpetals -- Which is the way to go, to find that hidden source?

Profile: Yuwen Chengdu is the son of Yuwen Huaji, who was a general of the Sui dynasty. He is a warrior of Sui, only secondary to Li Yuanba, who is naturally super powerful. As recorded, he was as tall as ten feet with strong waist and body. In the appearance of golden face, long beard and thick eyebrow, he often hold a weapon as heavy as 350 pounds. Introduction of ****** makeup: ****** makeup, or Lian Pu, refers to ****** designs for Jing and Chou roles. It originated from daily life experience, describing such changes of expression as white for fear, red for shyness, dark for suntan, and sallow for illness. Most ****** designs attach great importance to the eyes.  The ****** designs for the Jing roles are made by painting, powdering and coloring in the basic forms of Zheng Lian (keeping the basic face pattern), San Kuai Wa Lian (three-section face) and Sui Lian (fragmentary face). These types are widely used to represent generals, officials, heroes, gods and ghosts. The Chou actors can be recognized by the patch of white in various shapes painted around the eyes and nose. Sometimes these patches are outlined in black, hence the term Xiao Hua Lian (partly painted face). The Chou roles fall into the following two categories: Wen Chou and Wu Chou. Features: ****** makeup bears three main characteristics. Firstly, it is the unity and contradiction of beauty and ugliness. Secondly, it is closely related to the personality of the characters. Lastly, the patterns are stylized. Beijing opera is one of the most popular drama widely welcomed and loved, no matter home and abroad. It is now acknowledged as a sign of Chinese traditional culture. The photos of ****** mask can be found on large buildings, product packages, various porcelains and clothes. It has gone beyond the stage, from which we can see the deep influence of ****** makeup. More and more foreigners have interest in it and begin to explore the secret of ****** makeup. http://www.toywill.com

I wanted to enlist as an army babe, but i can take-care-of-my-self, stay healthy as a tree, no more frantic order's like "Smeeeaaaag?!?" Just a girl who wanted to be a penguin and swim free, of the trap of an incomplete mind. Walls of neutral yellow and beige, as a sunflower soaks the rays of, seasonal depression; lost in this endless sea of confusion. Is there really dedication, reflects blue eyes of Lilies socket's, does Eternity really exist? As a blown kiss, a wishing well fish. The heart is the only gate, gushing feelings and simple beatings, masks this face of shy Grace. As thundering pride takes over, build a dynasty and touch the heavens, Lifted, as dove on wings, crowned in Gold, I've found the Soul. In the lake this treasure keeps as a door swings open, step'n on through to morning. Finding super power's at twilight daze, ****** onto the writer's play.

Firstly, I'm not a body-shamer. To each their own (a good phrase, though grammatically incorrect), But sometimes I find it hard to understand The tatoos, the piercings, the colors and placements. The usual answer, if I dare ask:      I'mhxpressthinmythelf. Good for you. Does the diaper pin through your cheek Tell us you're a Dad or something.      Na. The quarter inch bolt and nut through your ear? Are you a machinist or a plumber, or something?      Na. The doll-house plates in your lips? Are you a Duck Dynasty fan? A member of the Audubon Society or something?      No. I'mapontingxprschmyselpth! Sorry, what was that?      I'mapontingxprschmyselpth. I'm sorry. I don't quite get what you're saying. I don't mean to be rude, But could you express those plates for a minute... I... I get it.

Express Yourself
The long hours of the night highlight our inner insecurities Relating to the change slowly disappearing in a clanking machine My stomache burns I didn't suggest to pay this, indebted to the alcohol No filter to the lewd humorous words we speak As we cruise away from the wild eyed life, bits of lint collect on the drivers glass The mistakes and embarrassment blinds our minds A push of a button, watching the grey fluff slide down the wind shield Turning into a tumble **** rolling down the loneliest highway No commitment to the grief The clouds smother the brown smudged mountains A white submissive canvas, I see My metaphoric future becomes one with the peeks My heart weeps as they come back into view The world once teaching me, is now background beauty Where shall this car take me

A discovered dynasty of drunken views
The amount of days I've been given have been kind, but each day rather cruel Trying to lift the thumb off my back of the looming stresses that rule It could be me again and this is not the end, if fact it probably is So before I unleash my problems, swear to mind your business I would be lying if I said I wanted this day to last a forever Because I found myself one forever short once we weren't together I've said my piece so many times the puzzle is almost complete So I've decided it's time to get off my knees and back onto my feet I've fallen so much I keep Flintstones band-aids close at hand My heart sewn to my sleeve for only you, which I've yet to understand You unscrewed the machine that was me and left the parts on the floor And I'm pretty sure I won't work just right anymore Fading is the dynasty of what we labeled our so-called "love" Like sticking my foot inside my sock at night to find it's a glove The discombobulation is so overwhelming, I think the ocean is jealous Could I start swimming now or is that being too over-zealous Life is hard and the people crammed in it tend to make it worse At times I tell myself it to cry, look to the sky, and curse But there's a tune in my mind that won't seem to shut up from that one song Telling me life is a ride, kid: grieve, learn, burn, and move on

Breakup Hangover
(Rock Lake, Canada) In this country there is neither measure nor balance To redress the dominance of rocks and woods, The passage, say, of these man-shaming clouds. No gesture of yours or mine could catch their attention, No word make them carry water or fire the kindling Like local trolls in the spell of a superior being. Well, one wearies of the Public Gardens: one wants a vacation Where trees and clouds and animals pay no notice; Away from the labeled elms, the tame tea-roses. It took three days driving north to find a cloud The polite skies over Boston couldn't possibly accommodate. Here on the last frontier of the big, brash spirit The horizons are too far off to be chummy as uncles; The colors assert themselves with a sort of vengeance. Each day concludes in a huge splurge of vermilions And night arrives in one gigantic step. It is comfortable, for a change, to mean so little. These rocks offer no purchase to herbage or people: They are conceiving a dynasty of perfect cold. In a month we'll wonder what plates and forks are for. I lean to you, numb as a fossil. Tell me I'm here. The Pilgrims and Indians might never have happened. Planets pulse in the lake like bright amoebas; The pines blot our voices up in their lightest sighs. Around our tent the old simplicities sough Sleepily as Lethe, trying to get in. We'll wake blank-brained as water in the dawn.

Two Campers In Cloud Country
How far is it? How far is it now? The gigantic gorilla interior Of the wheels move, they appall me --- The terrible brains Of Krupp, black muzzles Revolving, the sound Punching out Absence! Like cannon. It is Russia I have to get across, it is some was or other. I am dragging my body Quietly through the straw of the boxcars. Now is the time for bribery. What do wheels eat, these wheels Fixed to their arcs like gods, The silver leash of the will ---- Inexorable. And their pride! All the gods know destinations. I am a letter in this slot! I fly to a name, two eyes. Will there be fire, will there be bread? Here there is such mud. It is a trainstop, the nurses Undergoing the faucet water, its veils, veils in a nunnery, Touching their wounded, The men the blood still pumps forward, Legs, arms piled outside The tent of unending cries ---- A hospital of dolls. And the men, what is left of the men Pumped ahead by these pistons, this blood Into the next mile, The next hour ---- Dynasty of broken arrows! How far is it? There is mud on my feet, Thick, red and slipping. It is Adam's side, This earth I rise from, and I in agony. I cannot undo myself, and the train is steaming. Steaming and breathing, its teeth Ready to roll, like a devil's. There is a minute at the end of it A minute, a dewdrop. How far is it? It is so small The place I am getting to, why are there these obstacles ---- The body of this woman, Charred skirts and deathmask Mourned by religious figures, by garlanded children. And now detonations ---- Thunder and guns. The fire's between us. Is there no place Turning and turning in the middle air, Untouchable and untouchable. The train is dragging itself, it is screaming ---- An animal Insane for the destination, The bloodspot, The face at the end of the flare. I shall bury the wounded like pupas, I shall count and bury the dead. Let their souls writhe in like dew, Incense in my track. The carriages rock, they are cradles. And I, stepping from this skin Of old bandages, boredoms, old faces Step up to you from the black car of Lethe, Pure as a baby.

Mother earth is her name
Bodhidharma, the first Zen patriarch, told Emperor Wu that merit meant nothing; but great emptiness revealed by sitting facing a wall had great merit. Wu was perplexed. Patriarch number two, Hui-k’o, faced a granite wall in a forest for seven years; it became his beloved. Seng-Tsan, the third Zen patriarch wrote poems and his legendary Hsinhsinming verse transcended all the unnecessary duality in the mind’s mire. Tao-Hsin, patriarch number four, said don’t’ stare at a wall, just do the laundry and watch the clear water turn brown then pour it onto the vegetables in the garden when you’re done. Patriarch five, Hung-Jen meditated from age six staring at the horizon and said if you find the line between sky and land and sea you slip into infinity with no sky, land and sea just one place for the mind to finally rest. Hui-Neng came next; no wall no laundry water no heavenly horizon just fascinating monkey mind sometimes full, sometimes empty running whichever way, whenever, and that was all good. The 300-year Tang dynasty had three wild man patriarchs- Ma-Tzu shouted constantly; Pai-Ching did laundry, and Huang-Po told everyone they were already enlightened and should not bother with Zen at all. Lin-Chi was the Jesus of Zen who loved everybody everyday. He taught the heart’s clear natural action, compassion, not walls and laundry and trying not to think. His love was wiser than his mind. The patriarchs of zen taught more than a thousand years before I grew up an American idiot in a materialistic world populated by narcissistic borderline freaks thumbing smartphones in leather car seats never doing laundry afraid to face the walls built of brick made mortared tight together with the fear of their own compassionlessness.

Patriarch five, Hung-Jen meditated from age six staring at the horizon and said if you find the line between sky and land and sea you slip into infinity with no sky, land and sea just one place for the mind to finally rest. Hui-Neng came next; no wall no laundry water no heavenly horizon just fascinating monkey mind sometimes full, sometimes empty running whichever way, whenever, and that was all good. The 300-year Tang dynasty had three wild man patriarchs- Ma-Tzu shouted constantly; Pai-Ching did laundry, and Huang-Po told everyone they were already enlightened and should not bother with Zen at all. Lin-Chi was the Jesus of Zen who loved everybody everyday. He taught the heart’s clear natural action, compassion, not walls and laundry and trying not to think. His love was wiser than his mind. The patriarchs of zen taught more than a thousand years before I grew up an American idiot in a materialistic world populated by narcissistic borderline freaks thumbing smartphones in leather car seats never doing laundry afraid to face the walls built of brick made mortared tight together with the fear of their own compassionlessness.

She calls me best friend Every hurt and every pain is referred back to the friendship we have. Hours never go by without my screen having her name written all across it, amongst others, she stands out. Heart races and as I cross my finger over the finish line of opening the text just to find out she needs to talk. This is it. I’ve played this moment over and over in my head, boy doesn’t she know how prepared I am to profess.... this love She starts texting and it’s taking a bit longer than forever. Time somehow managed to slow down... “There’s this guy He’s a stand up guy He’s so respectful and he treats me like a Queen. He makes me feel good about myself and he calls me beautiful too many times to count I tell him everything and he tells me everything and I’d never seen him in this light but now...” Man, I knew it I’m a stand up guy I respect her wishes almost like they’re mine. I’ve always seen myself as the King to her Queen. She’s the royalty to dynasty I tell her she’s beautiful too often to count but if I did.... it wouldn’t make sense to time, because you’d think my vocabulary is only riddled with the phrase, “You’re so beautiful.” I tell her everything, everything except how I feel about her. I’ve always seen her as a light to my love. That doesn’t make sense but I see the light, and she’s it. I see her... “He makes me feel safe. I can tell him anything.” I know. I try my best to make you feel this love. “He’s handsome and his laugh is so cute and he gets so annoyed with me for saying so.” She says that all the **** time and it gets on my nerves. “I feel like I can’t ... live without him..” And I can’t live without you too.... My response to her text is “Well, why don’t you tell him...?” “That’s the thing”, she says... “I did, and he told me he sees me as just a friend.” “I guess that’s how you see me too.” Ends chat...

all the **** from your mouth that you thought was inspiring slowly broke me down until my hope was expiring never opened my mouth to come back with inquiries just kept my head down and wrote my thoughts in a diary and you read it, pathetic, invading my privacy called me out for feigning sadness and my ‘bogus’ anxiety cause “im a better dad than mine so shut up and be quiet kid” “you’re lucky im the head of this dysfunctional dynasty” well congratulations dad, you’ve earned notoriety for forcing my respect in the form of compliancy and disbelieving science and the facts of psychiatry so i ran away from home to join the freaks of society where else could i escape from your emotional piracy?

congratulations dad
So, what do you think about the dynasty of Babylon? Freshly cut potatoes which are deep fried can be displayed upon colorful plastic plates, which may trigger a spiritual sustenance of simplistic expectations which are immersed in Glaswegian nostalgia. Therefore, I contemplate the goddess of the moon, as she is enthroned in Celtic tenements of astral plains. Entrance-ways are characterised by the musky scent of the tomcat, whilst the purring sounds of diesel locomotives echo along the tracks of mischievous linearity. So, although I acknowledge Osiris to be the Egyptian god of the dead, I am tentatively perplexed about Northern and Southern boundaries of grandparental occupation. Shake those sensual vessels of salt and vinegar. Do you know why? Because there’s nothing like it in the cosmos.
