.     It's here again...    Heavy downpour...    I inhaled the rain,     cloying with petrichor.       Standing at my window,      looking out...     Street lamps struggled aglow.    People with brollies walking about.    My eyes reached out to the heavens,     tracing these glassy beads       as they'd free fall...         Falling by the sheets,        the pattering hastens,       periodically punctuated      by the thunder's call.      Mind is drifting and floating,        intently listening to a           million love wishes...              Liquid beauty...melding, sketching...            In light entrapped splashes.          Raindrops descend and come,          into my still life tonight...           Won't you will me numb,              with your chilly bite...              Wide-eyed enamour...             Catching a stray droplet or two.              Riding the tail of a zephyr,               finding a place where                 no trouble could ensue.             An errant gust blew            to meet with me.           The refreshing moist          meets my parted lips...         Inhaling deep in this reverie...        Into a sea of tranquillity,         my mind slowly dips...       Sigh... If the droplets were kisses...       I would savour each and every one.       If the moist wind came and caresses      I would meet it in a tight embrace    till the break of sun.   What a sight...    Almost surreal it seems...       As the light from the surrounding          lamps dances playfully...         Dispersing and exploding into a      barrage of shattered beams.     Before it gets subdued in the drops    caught by the leaves on a nearby tree...    The drops would trickle      and fall before merging,       forming stranded puddles        unable to flow...         Rippling... Splashing... Reflecting...       An image...      Borne out of a fantastic show.     An image of beating hearts,      overlapping one another...        Speaking of consequential love           and feelings so true         Intertwined...      in the promise of forever...   Slowly retrieving itself into an...   image of you...

Doctor Larch peers out the window, Pulling aside brocaded curtains to hide The grief that he will not show, The rending emptiness he feels inside. As his son Homer rides past the sunset, Not knowing where he goes But aspiring to see the wide world, The ocean at Mount Desert, Seeing wonder in the expanse And worlds inside a circle of glass. He has taken with him his heart, A dark picture of frailty. He finds unexpected work in an orchard, Leisurely harvesting round, garnet jewels. The nomads, dark and wary, Ask him to read about death and stars. There are rules for the workers. And Homer finds that they apply To no one, neither nomads or Curious young men. He sees in the errant father The reflection of his own, The man who made him good. “You are my work of art” He wrote. Like an artist with his painting, Who resists giving it away, So Doctor Larch holds on to him Hoping his adolescence ends And he returns. Finding peace at the last. The lack of rules bring about a sea change, Allowing forbidden love and pain. He ventures out once more into the vacuum Of conscience set free, He devises his own rules about the womb And how to help those in agony But eventually… With all the rules now open, There is nothing left for him to do. So he boards the migrant truck Just as the pilot returns, broken. He watches the struggle with a wheelchair Sees his lover watch him with her yellow hair Knows her future, years of sacrifice. And he admits at last That he has a purpose, The train to St. Cloud huffs slowly away, With Homer standing in the wet snow. There is the old asylum, The orphanage and home on the hill, Almost black, with the sunset behind, Homer begins the long climb. He approaches slowly. But then, a burst of laughter And children from the door Flock around him, dancing, shrieking, Some holding him like an errant dog, Who must be told to stay. “Will you stay?” they ask. “I think so,” he smiles in irony. He is home at the last.

even I am puzzled that this phrase did not prior tickle my contronymic poetic senses till now, for what is tender is of not always legal, and what is legal is far far from always tender <> tender/tenderness gotta rank in my 10 top fav words, nothing transforms swifter than an unexpected kiss, a hug from behind, the light(ing) stroke of a forefinger, brushing a tear from cheek, an errant bang, a lock from vision interference, All Super Legal gracefully given, gratefully received, Wholly Unexpected, and great~fully tenderly! Accepted* <> thinking that this maybe one of my top 11 fav poems ~> mmmmmmmmmmm that's the sound of me purring...

Accuracy of your acrostic arrows, Ride the wind with utmost ease. Claiming each bulleye with poetic precision, Hands steady, unswayed by the errant breeze. Endowed with talent, unsurpassed finesse, Regarded by peers as the wise-worded wiz.

it was on a hill of a clever neighborhood the errant flow well guised beneath the clay upon reach of the summit she is all that can be held her pull far too magnetic her skin, akin to milk poured by Luna her hair is the black of midnight on the eve of the new moon she sits facing inquiry with her injured one facing her on a rounded copper colored chair placed curbside Sophia speaks then a monotone misgiving that pours out as a sly pompous indifference

Blondes illuminate The dizzy world of men, Confident and forthright And simply, oozing acumen. So sensually brazen In a silly sort of way Yet intuitively capable Of leading all of them astray. Blondes are irresistible When they catch the errant eyes, When their pearly, sky blue peepers Irradiate and mesmerize. When they catch him glancing At a nicely rounded *** When rosebud lip's apouting Leave him breathless, limp and numb. Blondes move in a manner Which defies all things right, It's a sweet undulation Which turns day, straight into night. It's suggestion incarnate And quite breathlessly so. Causing pulses to race And his expectations to grow. Blondes think in straight lines Periferals are lost, And woe betide myopics Who underestimate at their cost. Golden locks breed pushiness The will to have her way, And the man who calls a challenge Won't survive another day. Blondes are soft and fluffy Dimpled cheeks and curve of thigh, And are specialists in the art Of come hither to the guy. But just beneath the garnish Is a mind that calculates And a passion for success And a taste for wealth that rates. Marshalg @theBach Mangere Bridge 19 January 2010

Blondes
Fourteen long stormy years ago, Was a dark and gloomy night, A spidery women as far as we know, Was looking threw every house's window, She walked ever so delicately over the snow, Keeping herself out of sight, Not a part of her seemed to glow, All except her eyes that were anything but white. Not so far away, A newborn child lay, Sleeping ever so peacefully, Smiling ever so sweetly, How could this creature resist? The longing she had for that child, Was a feeling she could not dismiss. Forget the child's parents! He must be her new prince, Her next movements were completely errant, As the creature just lost control, She snatched the child up, Holding him like a pup, She fled to safety, Before the child awoke, The mysterious spider lady, Took him to her home, To raise him as her very own. Now present day, The child now given himself his own new name, A prince? That is not want he wants to be, He wishes to have his own word free, Tired of staring at blank walls, The child for the first time travels threw new halls, Leaving the place his once called home, Not knowing the new places he will roam, Not knowing the adventures he will have, Or the people he will share them with.

Stealing Her Prince
Monet was painting up my vision while the droves were driven out. We stepped out to the derision of a tenor waterspout. The town outside is dancing in the ruddy neon hues and I’m ****** whilst Amsterdam-ing by the slam-dunk cognac blues. And a cap was shaking coppers in an out cove by the way, where instruments and owners had begun to play. The bar stools are all swaying whilst the festival ensues, and I’m ****** whilst Amsterdam-ing by the slam-dunk cognac blues. With the rhythm of the rimjhim and the stamping our feet we sing our drunken-whim hymn whilst we stagger down the street. And we had sunken five; still sinking Im strung out, slammed, and stinking Four sheets to the wind and freaking about what I had to lose. so that’s when I got to thinking had an inkling to the linking between my errant drinking and the slam-dunk cognac blues…

The Slam-Dunk Cognac Blues
An errant search hath brought me here, To the rabble rousers feigning an ear, Complain, complain, yell, scream and jeer, Seems to me it's not your year? Label, bait, point your fingers and blame, Knowing your side has lost the game. No, America just won't be the same, Asylum no longer, -run by the insane.

Media Hates Trump
Above the caldera at Yellowstone, a brittle soil-rock crust caps a lake of liquid fire with only fumaroles and roiling geysers to stay its upward ****** One errant step is all it takes to breach that mantle's fragile seal - spelling death by fire to any hapless wanderer who fails to guard his path. Fragile calderas also roil buried in darkest hollows of our psyches - brewed of failures, slights and fears dissolved in molten pools of self-consuming misery. To dress and salve our wounds we sow gardens of reconciliation within with beauty, trust and reason and bow to gods of grace and solace. But a despot’s studied eye knows just how to tap our fragile crusts, releasing acrid lava flows from pools where fear and rage reign hot and reason has no district. Sisters and brothers of our flesh I pray we find a holy and transforming alchemy to convert our heat to light and shield our sacred calderas from enemies that stalk us from within. July, 2006, revised December, 2014, 2015 and 2018 Robert Charles Howard

i need you to keep me awake until the palace band stops playing and the trapped sand in my hands turns into sea glass i'm lit up but so easy to smother by a wayward breath of wind or the waxing moon's light temper the errant smoke will twist forever

I’m stumbling through a black abyss, Surrounded by this nothingness, Mirroring the emptiness, inside my soul. Along the way I find a lake, A lake upon the path I take, And near the lake there lies a sign, Just before the water’s line. And this is what the sign does say ,The sign I find upon my way: “Here lies the gateway to the soul, So look within if that’s your goal.” So I kneel within this black abyss, And gaze upon the lake’s surface, My reflection meets my eyes, A face I do not recognize. And as I look upon this face, Despising she who took my place, I feel my anger over flow, And finally I let it go. “You ignorant and petty fool! You errant-minded, useless tool! Oh look at you, what you’ve become! Don’t you see how far you’ve fallen from?” My reflection does not answer me, Just stares back out so emptily, A sight that draws forth unshed tears, And rekindles all my greatest fears. “What happened to the face I knew? What happened to the real you? You are everything you once opposed! You are a fraud! And everyone knows.” My reflection simply stares at me, It does not move, nor answer me, Nor does it return my shout, It does nothing, just stares back out. “You are the reason for the emptiness! You are the reason for this black abyss! For everything that’s trapped me here! You are the face behind my fear!” Then looking down upon this lake, This lake upon the path I take, I realize it is no lake at all, Only a mirror upon the wall.

the Hail Mary transgression: falling in love with me when it crosses over the line *guilty of the same, so even when I condemn the errant woman, with an ice block from a Northeastern pond of no soft forgiveness, which is still and yet, the only cutoff ending appropriate but you woman, deserve to learn that emboldened fantasy that crosses broken bold lines, is a jagged rot that doesn’t cure the dreamy unreality of the-cannot-be, it’s pouring hot water on scalding burns entrenched guess time to share that your fantasy is the number one commandment that this boy also violates routinely so he has a phd of experience, and the burn proofs when he thot he too could be, Cervantes, the knight errant, lover of the impossible woman I, guilty as charged by “The Duke,” am an idealist and bad poet, so many poet-women here I secret cherish at levels that are nonsensical, absurd, ludicrous and hold the fantastical fantasty of them dear, so close and so near, so mine wrote them each love poems, and they know it, now, here, in my confessional booth, my priestly punishment always the same, ten thousand Hail Mary’s, but I cheat the cohen priest, and just write another poem,* this one is about the line that never can  could  will be crossed, hail mary!

I skip, across a streaming, upon random~laid flat and comfortable flat flagstone stepping stones, from poet to poet, color to color, poem to poem, Auden to Whitman, Schuyler to myself, a dingaling notion, an errant word, the here to there, all randoms, yet, oval chain linked all, a question posed, an answer unknown, a reference to an old Italian myth, and there, and here, a body, comes to rest, & also, comes to rest… <> led not by the nose, but the single fingered tip that guides across a landscape patterned painting, lost but never a loser, each implants, each imbibes, and the H&H^ alternatively rumbles, pounds, vibrato burns erratically, and the difference between a life in love, and a life in poetry, is not a line dividing, but a path combining, and the only sign upon the road, is never a reddened "stop!" always just a soft lavender, so tender, inquiring, requiring, deep thoughts and reckless abandonment, the only guide inspired when ecstatic adrift in a season, a sea, any one of nature's designed unlimited schemata's of vista creations, is this, simply stated: What? <> postscript 6:27 Sabbath Sep 27 nyc after a sunrise glorious, where the windows eastern facing make an irresistible irrational pattern of golden yellow reflecting, mirrors, and after reading much, and so I too, reflect, vista, vista, what do you see, I see…What? after reading a poem by James Schuyler, entitled (yes, we are) "What"^^

adrift, but not drifting...
By: Cedric McClester Time goes by fast But memories that last Are like snap-shots of the past That we view in contrast To the here and now And so we make a vow To apply the breaks And avoid our past mistakes Time goes by fast And nothing ever lasts For those who are miscast Or the errant iconoclast In the rear view mirror Things become much clearer To the standard bearer Who see them much nearer Than they were before When it was easier to ignore The intricate designs Of the various warning signs Time goes by fast And nothing ever lasts For those who are miscast Or the errant iconoclast Seconds minutes hours With all it’s magical powers We observe like blooming flowers That time finally devours And as slowly we retreat To our thoughts so bitter sweet Not acquiescing to defeat That occasionally we meet So we long for yesteryear Cuz we’re far away from there And the veil is very shear Between there and here Time goes by fast And nothing ever lasts For those who are miscast Or the errant iconoclast Time goes by fast But memories that last Are like snap-shots of the past That we view in contrast To the here and now And so we make a vow To apply the breaks And avoid our past mistakes Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2016.

TIME GOES BY FAST
Things sometimes fall apart Among sisters and brothers, No matter what they once were. Childhood picnics and dreamy games, Memories of trips with Dad, Since Mom was tired of us. We would climb Appalachian peaks Or drive to look at the Mayflower. Every summer there was a golden week A lakeside cottage and all-day swims In crystal water, becoming mermaids. But time passes and bitterness accrues. Imagined slights grow like slow tumors, Never excised but nurtured by some. I go to college and am freed From the poison of ignorant rage, From the creeping depression left Like diesel fog on an endless floor. Four or five years of delight pass With only hints here or there Of a sibling’s misery at home. Of a once close sister, Maggie, Who is ignored and never loved By any man she pursues. She blames me for it, for reasons I have yet to fathom. Of a brother, Francis, deluded, drugged, Steals the family car in a rage And drives to New York City. Of Deirdre, the middle sister, Whose friend who knows men who feed On her ignorance and rebellion. Only Susannah tries to rise above The maelstrom of misery. I send her to a school far away And she sheds despair, at least. Decades drawl, children are born to us, While the bridge between us, obscured, Sags and frays under weight of rancor. Christmas dinners and birthday parties Turn into chores, invitations kept as scores. Petty grudges, like acid, sever the bridge At last, all ties are abandoned. When we are all grown and scattered, No one speaking to anyone else, Unaware, uncaring about the others. Only Susannah visits me and smiles, With no ulterior plan for insane revenge, Or accusations for errant slights. Her once dark hair is grizzled and wild And her girlish skin now creased. But her treacle eyes, “black aggies”, I used to call them, still shine. Only Susannah writes a letter, Wishing us well and Healing scars made by others, Returning the word “family”. To my basket of small treasures, I carry with me Into the twilight.

. Cloak of invisibility... *Render me unseen. As I tremble with the fury of a thousand downfalls and untimely disappointments. Let the complacent eye merely skim the surface of my masquerade... Without learning of what seethes underneath.* Cloak of invincibility... *Render me impervious... To the callous digits that know only to point. To the disastrous effect of heated words. To the unforgiving nature of my wayward thoughts and emotions. Grant me strength and resilience through hardened skin that promises not, of betrayal.* Cloak of infallibility... *Render me trustworthy and honest. So that I can rest with the knowledge that what I feel is true... What I feel is me. That this isn't the result of the faint murmur of errant gossip... But instead the genuine exchanges between the heart and mind.* Cloak of myth... *Render me a believer. Aid me in finding my footing in the blasted dark. For... I have been siphoned dry, during these unsure times that have drawn much... Too much.* .

Ma Jalouse, Mon Unique, Mon Ultime Sais-tu ce que Lord Invader, Sam Manning Cyril Monrose, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong Jack Sneed et Ernest Rangling Sans oublier Blue Glaze Mento Band et Phil Madison ? Et je m'arrête là pour l'instant, Sais-tu ce qu'ils ont en commun ? Eh bien vois-tu, ce sont tous mes ombres. Tu ne pourras jamais me comprendre Si tu ne les comprends pas Et si tu ne sais pas ce que représentent pour moi La mangouste et le raccoon. De même que pour te comprendre il faut avoir lu tout Dostoievski Pour me comprendre il faut avoir écouté tout Sly Mongoose Car peut être n'as-tu vu en moi qu'aria et boléro, symphonie et concerto Alors je t'explique : pour comprendre, n'essaie pas de philosopher Lève-toi et bouge tout simplement et tu toucheras l 'essence C'est du folklore, c'est du reggae, c 'est du mento, c'est du calypso, c'est du jazz, C'est instrumental ou c'est vocal C'est moi, mes ascendances et descendances. Sly Mongoose c'est mes Frères Karamasov Smerdiakov, Aliocha, Ivan et Dmitri C'est mon Idiot, mon prince Lev Mychkine C'est mon Joueur, mon Alexei Ivanovitch Mon Rêve d'un Homme Ridicule Et Raskolnikov errant dans la nuit dans Crime et Châtiment. Sly Mongoose c'est l'histoire d'une mangouste maline Qui a baptisé la fille du pasteur De son eau sainte Et qui fuit la Jamaïque Et part à l'étranger Après son forfait. C'est l'histoire d'une mangouste qui vole les poules les plus grasses de la cuisine Et qui les met dans la poche de son veston C'est l'histoire d'une mangouste qui entre dans la cuisine d'un prédicateur Et qui repart avec une des poules les plus grasses Et tous les chiens savent son nom. il s'appelle Sly Mangoose Il est malin, il est vicieux, le compère C'est mon ombre, que veux-tu Et parfois pour échapper aux prédateurs Il prend l'apparence de l'ombre d'un raccoon.

Sly Mongoose c'est mes Frères Karamasov Smerdiakov, Aliocha, Ivan et Dmitri C'est mon Idiot, mon prince Lev Mychkine C'est mon Joueur, mon Alexei Ivanovitch Mon Rêve d'un Homme Ridicule Et Raskolnikov errant dans la nuit dans Crime et Châtiment. Sly Mongoose c'est l'histoire d'une mangouste maline Qui a baptisé la fille du pasteur De son eau sainte Et qui fuit la Jamaïque Et part à l'étranger Après son forfait. C'est l'histoire d'une mangouste qui vole les poules les plus grasses de la cuisine Et qui les met dans la poche de son veston C'est l'histoire d'une mangouste qui entre dans la cuisine d'un prédicateur Et qui repart avec une des poules les plus grasses Et tous les chiens savent son nom. il s'appelle Sly Mangoose Il est malin, il est vicieux, le compère C'est mon ombre, que veux-tu Et parfois pour échapper aux prédateurs Il prend l'apparence de l'ombre d'un raccoon.

I’ve got an urgent appointment I’m absolutely all of a rush I have to get there quickly And I'm starting to feel a hot flush. Hunting around with my shirt hanging out It’s missing! It’s missing! I let out a shout. Whenever I have to dress for a date If ever I get there I'm dreadfully late It’s not punctuality that comes as a shock It’s that I always manage to lose a sock. ©JRW2014

The Errant Hose
Fanatics fixed their eyes upon The screen to cheer their team The mood there in the air was tense Tricolor seemed out of steam The clock was counting down The time was drawing nigh Doomed to lose and head on home Bid Russia their goodbye An errant shot deflected out Gave them one last chance To score a goal and prance about Show off their famous dance From the corner, the ball soared in A hero rose above Mina smacked it with his head And won his country's love England shocked to see the win Snatched right from their grasp Colombia delirious Successful at last gasp And thus the game was sent along Into the overtime Two periods were played to nil Two teams full in their prime Penalties would now decide Which team would advance The locals glued to their tvs The nation in a trance Falcao scores! Kane as well! Cuadrado, Rashford too! Muriel then strikes one home Tricolor up three to two! Ospina blocks the next one Hypes up the frenzied crowd But Uribe hits the crossbar And the silence echoes loud Trippier knots it up again We're down to final shots Bacca fails to get his through Past Pickford's valiant swat Fate rests upon this final kick Well placed with perfect spin Just past Ospina's outstreched hands Dier seals the win The cafeteros reel from shock No sign of jubilation But still the crowd, crushed in defeat Show their appreciation Colombia eliminated We give them all a hand And though their World Cup here is done I'm now their biggest fan

Adios Cafeteros (an ode to the Colombian national team)
Sagaciously gloaming melanite eyes Resonating euphoniously ululated memories; The shadow land of illusion Rising out of the ash of an acorn Wallowing in the blood of wars strident refuge, Gnomic relics errant of an Enigmatic almondine heart Offering an olive branch upon an Altar made of oak. A ruminantly nostalgic requiem Sedititiously traversing the firmament; Ineluctable reprobation Ineffably manifested, The doves of meta-morphosis Embracing the silk garments of love; Sound minds cacophany Devouring the delusional devout Veridically inspiring ascendancy Decieving serenities whisper throughout The dominions audaciously Rousing ambivalent fears. ELEETE J MUIR.

Enochian Samadhi
I am sorry that I scared you, Sir It was not my intent I'm just looking for my family, Sir I do not know where they went Have you seen my family, Sir? Do you know where they are? I am just a young pup, Sir On my own I won't get far What is that you're holding, Sir? Can it help me find my parents? I don't want to hurt you, Sir Have you no forbearance? What about my brother, Sir? And the way we used to dance? I could not fight you, Sir I never stood a chance I do not understand, Sir I am but an errant youth Why would you do this, Sir? Please tell me the truth How was I to know it, Sir? That I had gone too far? I can't see the borders, Sir I don't know where they are I would never hurt you, Sir Why are you still lying? My young life is now fading, Sir And now I lay here dying But I can't help but wonder, Sir What did I possibly do wrong? You came into my home, Sir Somewhere you did not belong I can see my mother, Sir She is in the sky up ahead I thought about staying, Sir But I think I'll go instead I'm sorry that I scared you, Sir It was not my intent But now I know the secret, Sir You do know where they went

The Wolf and The Hunter
I wish to get this out in the open, I wish to clarify something I must confess something to those who care about my writing: My sense of humour is... well... If you know me in person, you know my sense of humour or what could be errantly said to be a sense of humour. I draw heavily upon: facetiousness, mythic interpretation, sarcasm, satire, excessive formality, irony, wordplay, a somewhat predisposed tendency towards not taking most things entirely seriously even and almost especially when I am 'supposed to', resorting to profanity on rare occasions, and quite simply and succinctly a ****** up world perspective* amassed over many years of living in this society and from living with my late, similarly minded, brutally honest alcoholic Father, in this society, nonetheless, who in fact was at least *quite ******* directly* responsible for my aforementioned errant sense of humour. If you knew him, you might say that I'm a "chip off the ol' block" in some ways, but I know I'm quite ******* deviant from it in others. So, to those of you who simply know of my existence via this digital outlet/public-sketchpad for my new-found passion of writing down every ******* thing I think it worthwhile to ponder again later, or perhaps even share with similarly minded, or at least accepting people; I wish to convey my deepest and most sincere pity, not in that it is anything that was your doing, just in that you can't possibly know my sense of humour and tasteless applications of irony and satire, and as such; I've probably offended some people. However, for some anomalous reason, some of you seem to like this stuff So I'm going to keep it up. If you read this: thank you, but if you did not, then **** you; however, if you didn't initially read this but were later directed to it by me or by some other personage, fictional or real, or for some other reason happened across it, I rescind the aforementioned **** you" in light of conveying my deepest and most sincere "Thank you for putting up with my weird-ass ******** I appreciate anyone who finds any value in my works. I also appreciate the improbable nature of anyone liking my brain-vomit. I love creating and I love sharing my creations, so when that all works out, I'm ******* fit as a fiddle; Giddy as a schoolgirl on Prozac; Happier than a young necrophiliac who achieves his boyhood ambition of becoming coroner.
