*** *** ~ ♡ ~ A dark day has befallen the Court of Hello Poetry How it saddens me to see the good Queens and Kings to suffer at the hands of jealous enemies who seek to destroy others and their Kingdoms. Though she was exquisitely dressed, she had a humble heart; many had a good word about her, though I did not get to meet her, though I did not see her, I could see the light she had shine in the hearts of others. She had a wonderful smile but invaders; false Kings and Queens spewed nothing but abuse, and it made her surrender her crown ~ ♡ ~ I could only watch as she grabbed the ends of her silk skirts and run out of the bustling halls, tears down her soft face.     I could not reach her but at the dawn,        from the balcony,          I saw the ship sail away,         towards the sunset into the unknown.      How my heart is so heavy ~ ♡ ~ To see a true artist, a true queen leave forever. At seeing her tears, her crying soul staining the floral marble floors, and the invaders   feeling   satisfied   at her    pain   and her 'destruction' Those   who   dare   to  denounce are   never  Kings  or   Queens. To be so jealous, so insecure and think you led her to her 'destruction' ~ ♡ ~ I will say this - you may have won the battle but  you will NEVER win the war. Because the true   Kings and Queens will band   together,  we  will  stand together    to protect our haven  for we see, we know who the true artists are.  I will continue to shed tears of pain and   sorrow for the loss of this artist,  but I will always hope that when the sun rises she   will return to us once more. She  will never leave our minds, she has touched so many hearts. Her legacy, her reign, her   kingdom will always    stand eternal, will stand immortal now and always. ~ ♡ ~ *** ***

Shadows bless the night As we huddle tighter Sharing a sacred journey Adversity piles upon us at times But our human nature screams Survival at all costs If I reached out my hand Would you accept If I humbled myself at your feet Would you stay Or would you run Afraid and confused of your own reflection Cotton candy As sweet as spice Exquisitely the spider weaves her Majestic web As we weave our stories with the threads of time illuminated in the heavens for those who have gone before us Be it a simple question of time Of misunderstandings Or lost promises We will return In circles we spiral upwards Holding onto the very thread that bore our bodies from dust and turned them into the stars I see within your eyes You are my muse You are all and everything Without means words don’t flow Feelings stay intombed And my body will return to dust before it betrays you

Light Cursed Falling In A Singular Block
Fatima Latima I had wished I had no gift of sight That the worst I could endure is hear you speak And not snapshot the footfall of your gradation You may not be a thief Nor **** daughter of the dayspring But definitely my heart you stole I speak of the daughter of Arabia Aesthetically, she rocks The queen of the pilgrim sands And aeonian desert stones Beyond the hijab Artistically knead with consummate craft Like the relics of Mecca Blest by the prophet’s bones The blessed I see torches Beaming with intelligence Within those mascaras Exquisitely trimmed and vibrant A lulu class botany She fixes a searching gaze As she saunters close And the stride and tread Beats a drum entrancing Soothed in her solacing spell I give in, to her lullaby She halts her perambulation Stands magniloquent and stupefy Like some pop diva magazine pose Or Victorian secret shot A tactical derangement of her gluteals As she rests her palm in its cleft I feel contractions, my dartos muscles The blew of summertime Gently beats her exceptional form Her belt submerge her thigh crevice Cleft by the sundered rift of fleshy fat Built by the dainties and delicacies Seasoned by the finest Arabian chef As her silken dress slithers and gowns Under the breeze bulging and blooming Like a rose blossom or sunflower fore As she bends down To assuage the burlesque The sun specula lilts her sensational Her smile apologetic bids me stillness I am caught staring Guzzling down her scent and Feasting on empty imaginations Of What If that accentuate the mind and Speed a hormone And I pray I sin no more Next time we meet and I see her again For I am but a writer Learning to use my pen and paper And hope you but forgive My linguistic impotence When I make my confession Employing too plain a language When I say thus; Her smile is classical Her walk magical Her beauty celestial Her stride sensational Her religion ethical Her character spotless And that leaves me breathless And forgive if I step on broken toe And try speak of the unspoken Her ****** is sacred Her being a type that dresses up In the milliards of brutes dressing down And shamelessly style it fashion I must see a priest One confession I ought to utter And even vociferate abroad For once I had fallen in love With an Arabian Beautie A ****** of Mecca.

**Exquisitely flawed in all the right places Like the keys on the piano that  sits abandoned Your ebony keys complement my ivory so well But dust collects and you never notice So I fall away quietly Retreating like a soldier Who knows he will not win the inner battle before him** *Quietly quietly Silently go Where no one sees you Nobody knows I built up my fortress A place full of pride Full of hatred Your pent up lies A promise broken A heart is torn I'll stay in my castle Where my poetess is reborn* ***Quietly quietly Silently go Where all the others fear to tread I will lye down this weary head Exquisitely flawed in all the right places You are the man with many faces***

Quietly goes
She might laugh if she read this at the flat little version of her that lives in my mind. She may laugh at my comparison of her to a hideous sea spider but hear me out it could be touching. David Foster Wallace wrote: *“Since pain is a totally subjective mental experience we do not have direct access to anyone or anything’s pain but our own; and even just the principles by which we can infer that others experience pain and have a legitimate interest in not feeling pain involve ******** philosophy— metaphysics, epistemology, value theory, ethics.” *"[Lobsters] do have an exquisite tactile sense, one facilitated by hundreds of thousands of tiny hairs that protrude through their carapace. Although encased in what seems a solid, impenetrable armour, the lobster can receive stimuli and impressions from without as readily as if it possessed a soft and delicate skin.”* and so “We lift lobsters out of the bag or whatever retail container they came home in …whereupon some uncomfortable things start to happen. However stuporous the lobster is from the trip home, for instance, it tends to come alarmingly to life when placed in boiling water."* As much as I cannot comprehend the pain of the exquisitely tactile lobster in a *** of boiling water, I wonder if I could walk a mile in a lobster’s 8 minuscule shoes and I wonder what it might mean or not mean to her with her armoured yet acute exoskeleton to be back at home with her father. They might try to butter you up or snap elastic bands around your oversized claws and use a wooden spoon to try and nudge your thrashing, clinging arms back into the *** but remember: lobsters can live to be over 100 years old and grow to over 20 pounds in size which is very large for an aquatic insect and remember that they are marine crustaceans of the family Homaridae, characterized by five pairs of jointed legs, the first pair terminating in large pincerish claws. And DFW famously said, “Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it.” and he's not a lobster either

Nestled in his arms, I've discovered a haven, The refuge for my soul, a home is engraven. A sanctuary where thoughts find gentle release, A world of unity, my doubts meet their peace. When weariness tugs and desolation entwines, Life's enigmatic encounters, weaving complex designs, In his gaze serenity blooms and finds its place, A sanctuary of solace, a loving embrace. Within his eyes, a realm beyond time, Where enchantment flows in a fractal rhyme. Familiar, like an ancient whisper, this truth so pure, Innocence cascades, beauty's allure. Through him a passage to celestial expanse, An orchestra of emotions, our souls entwine and dance. Each moment evolves, exquisitely hued, At the threshold of forever, together with you. Life's intricate threads lead to a destined connection, Guiding me to him, the most profound intersection. Gratitude rises, an endless ocean's plea, For destiny's masterpiece, in him, I see.

In love
Two hundred years ago and yesterday a sailor wrote a letter in longhand, entrusting it to the road back to his beloved, where dawn was breaking at the closest port of call. A century ago, a shy and lovely mail order bride wrote to the man who would be her husband, in a land entirely different from her own. In her delicate, sincere questions, from a heart wrapped in ornate brocade layers of kimono silk, she hoped to begin to know him. Relationships formed gracefully, over time, an ocean of water and thought intervening. Water and air may be there keeping souls apart, until they are meant to be united.   Now, two beloved young friends have found in each other a twin flame, first seen shining in the virtual world of today. With only letters, or flares or morse code, these two would have seen, and known, that light within one another. Souls destined from very early on. My loving eyes have seen them, decades from now, leaning into one another, silver hair entwined as they rest their heads together on one more journey. I defy anyone who might challenge me, seeing these two blossoming in love from a virtual, chance encounter,  to say that life is any less real in the ways that matter most, when it is born in abstract space, in this manifestation of a reality that is in itself a metaphor for Reality. Reality, is living, deeply living, the inexplicable, unfathomable, exquisitely simple complexity, of being fully human.

Virtual Reality, Then and Now
--- There's a creature in this cruel world Who love's to hurt And make you blue He's out there lurking for you, child He'll take everything from you... ... but oh! How handsom and delightful! When he speaks the silver rings! Come to find out he is frightful Scorpion with angel's wings Watch out child... Watch out for liars. Those who practice to deceive! He'll take you down To his own fires He will sting if you believe! But! Oh how beautiful and graceful! And! How exquisitely you sing! But. My "friend", you are *disgraceful!

Scorpion Angel
Every once in a while I see you sitting on a branch The beautiful nightingale in its form Always singing exquisitely beautiful songs Why the mind never stop seeking To which frequency it belongs With absolute stillness, there is able to find The music that plays, is made to hide Verses that cannot put into words What the galaxies describe With a universal language If one listens, can unwind The wool of what is spun Structured and wired In the most delicate way From the beginning to every gentle laced hum Now fly away again; with all of the harmony lifting notes you sung My love, for I will follow the thread As far as there is no more Untill I can feel the wind move between the feathers And the beauty of true love sounds embraces my hearts warmth

Words of whispered wisdom
Exquisite things -to name a few- All of the wonderful things that you do. I'm saying it now, If you never knew; I thank you for being exquisitely you.

Define: Exquisite
O lonely heart so timid of approach, Like the shy tropic flower that shuts its lips To the faint touch of tender finger tips: What is your word? What question would you broach? Your lustrous-warm eyes are too sadly kind To mask the meaning of your dreamy tale, Your guarded life too exquisitely frail Against the daggers of my warring mind. There is no part of the unyielding earth, Even bare rocks where the eagles build their nest, Will give us undisturbed and friendly rest. No dewfall softens this vast belt of dearth. But in the socket-chiseled teeth of strife, That gleam in serried files in all the lands, We may join hungry, understanding hands, And drink our share of ardent love and life.

Courage
The thing is, you can’t ignore that graceful lament- The teal heaving of your chest- The wash of questions in your head That exquisitely hold pinpricks of the future. There’s a brand of groan you know well That belongs to feeling unresolved. That noise you make when you’re a painting without a face, When you’re two lines of a song that’s lost to the breeze, When you’re a cup of water dribbling through careless hands, That noise is the growl of restless dreaming. There is a struggle to unpin yourself From the avalanche of time That has pooled thickly around your legs. You try to kick, but it moves like molasses. Slower than a hard thwack to a non-newtonian fluid. Pointless as collecting antique doorknobs. There is an urge to catch a destiny by the tail Like you’re somehow prepared right now, Like there’s nothing left to learn. How fortunate you are that perceived linear realities Can curve the hubris of your linear fantasies. And yet there’s that gnawing need, A craving that demands surrender, That all too graceful lament, Of being forced to take the smallest of steps on the greatest of adventures.

The Graceful Lament
Exquisitely surrounded by the color of peace, Out of your face jumps the notion of "how can this be?" Your eyes look down to move forward As if the floor is lighting up taking your steps. Behind you the sun sets, your highness? "where is your crown?" The golden curl leaf's match your red shades, in between the weeping cherries are white heels Only you can tie your hair up wear a light green dress and runway walk in a garden

Edgar Lee Masters. 1869– Silence I HAVE known the silence of the stars and of the sea, And the silence of the city when it pauses, And the silence of a man and a maid, And the silence for which music alone finds the word, And the silence of the woods before the winds of spring begin, And the silence of the sick When their eyes roam about the room. And I ask: For the depths Of what use is language? A beast of the field moans a few times When death takes its young. And we are voiceless in the presence of realities— We cannot speak. A curious boy asks an old soldier Sitting in front of the grocery store, "How did you lose your leg?" And the old soldier is struck with silence, Or his mind flies away Because he cannot concentrate it on Gettysburg. It comes back jocosely And he says, "A bear bit it off." And the boy wonders, while the old soldier Dumbly, feebly lives over The flashes of guns, the thunder of cannon, The shrieks of the slain, And himself lying on the ground, And the hospital surgeons, the knives, And the long days in bed. But if he could describe it all He would be an artist. But if he were an artist there would he deeper wounds Which he could not describe. There is the silence of a great hatred, And the silence of a great love, And the silence of a deep peace of mind, And the silence of an embittered friendship, There is the silence of a spiritual crisis, Through which your soul, exquisitely tortured, Comes with visions not to be uttered Into a realm of higher life. And the silence of the gods who understand each other without speech, There is the silence of defeat. There is the silence of those unjustly punished; And the silence of the dying whose hand Suddenly grips yours. There is the silence between father and son, When the father cannot explain his life, Even though he be misunderstood for it. There is the silence that comes between husband and wife. There is the silence of those who have failed; And the vast silence that covers Broken nations and vanquished leaders. There is the silence of Lincoln, Thinking of the poverty of his youth. And the silence of Napoleon After Waterloo. And the silence of Jeanne d'Arc Saying amid the flames, "Blesséd Jesus"— Revealing in two words all sorrow, all hope. And there is the silence of age, Too full of wisdom for the tongue to utter it In words intelligible to those who have not lived The great range of life. And there is the silence of the dead. If we who are in life cannot speak Of profound experiences, Why do you marvel that the dead Do not tell you of death? Their silence shall be interpreted As we approach them.

Inana Shlash How I wish I knew you I would have melted And oozed into Your shoes lingering many hours Before you finally Took a shower I would have been a blanket Embracing your back Nuzzling against the nape Of your neck Until you wandered away To a cool breeze On the deck If the gods would have Smiled on me I could have been A billion water droplets Easing into the hundreds Of thousands of pores In your silken skin Alas Our missile Blew you away And I don't know what to say  Sean Hunt   Windermere, December 6 2015

INANA SHLASH (An exquisitely beautiful Syrian Dakini struck by an ugly Western missile)
*Fluffy pillows swirling around a beautiful blue sky, Free birds gliding across the heavens, so gracefully they fly. Giant tree branches swaying from side-to-side, Such beauty my eyes absorb into my mind; expanding infinitely wide. Heavenly Earth, so exquisitely designed, Embraced by solitude, peace of mind I'm guaranteed to always find. The smell of fresh open air and wildflowers inhaled into my soul; an essence so divine, Fragile delicate butterflies fluttering by, I love them all as though they are mine. I belong to the Earth - the forests, the mountains and the seas, Deep-down inside I'm just a born-natural free-spirit - a lover of nature; a born-to-be country girl / hippy. By Lady R.F. (C) 2017*

dark storms rising as electricity crackles up my spine in ascent of moonspell as I trip through             my own wires                  my inner sense                      of flesh       reverberating   in waves of magnetic fireworks       and suddenly I am spinning      my fibers all splayed out                 for you to see a cartographer of emotion mapping your veins              and arteries and we hold citizenship of a private inner land a country                   that we share as we into light expand my inner goddess in tune with your molecules and carbon your cells rushing like                 a river into my estuary in landscapes of longing blissfully unaware but for our souls' secret language of pumping blood and fire from here, it's uncharted but for the rhythms                    of desire invisible to the naked eye, we exquisitely penetrate the surface descend into the depths of bones the most primal core where lava licks push spirit's will             straight up to the fore and I am the spark in your most opaque rage ready to give it up in dust and magic as pulmonary exhale flows the blood and we dissipate , slowly into uninhibited flood Take me apart, dark love pulverize my limits fly with me to the opposite of loneliness where     every         millisecond   breathes

breath to bones
How magnificently you were born Under brilliant Northern lights Rising above the sea With Black beaches Electric blue waters And Forever cascading waterfalls Great Danes of long ago With Ancient wisdom Mightier than Gods of old Brought to your shores Powerless under your mighty volcanoes Bowed their heads upon your site How wondrous you are Surrendering to your beauty A secret they kept you exquisitely they named you Land of Ice

Iceland
YOUR eyes were gem-like in that dim deep chamber Hushed and sombre with imprisoned fire, With yellow ghostly globes of intense aether Potent as the rays of pure desire. Your voice was startled into vivid wonder, When the winged wild whining mystic wheel Took flight and shot the dark with frosty crashings Like an ice-berg splitting to the keel. Your flesh was never warmer to my passion Than when, moving in that lumor green, We saw with eyes our fragile bones enamoured Clasping sadly on the pallid screen. You seemed so virginal and so undreaming Of the burning hunger in my eyes, To peer more fever-deeply in your being Than the very death of passion lies. The subtle-tuned shy motions of your spirit, Fashioned through the ages for the sun, Were dumb in that green lustre-haunted cavern Where you walked a naked skeleton; Slim-hipped and fluent and of lovely motion, Living to the tip of every bone, And ah, too exquisitely vivid-moving Ever to lie wanly down alone-- To lie forever down so still and slender, Tracing on the ancient screen of night That naked and pale writing of the wonder Of your beauty breathing in the light.

Not many tensions, nor any excitement Life has ever been a placidly flowing river! Single and free! Over differences, never been any disputes never had to consult, nor seek consent Single and free! but doesn’t his house with its cold, mildewed air reflect his heart? A house so full of things: a hoard of well stacked books, exquisitely carved Victorian furniture, antique collection of curios, ornate drapery Yet so full of nothing! The prim order of the house never disturbed by naughty hands nor shuffled by dusty feet dirtying the Persian carpets  or smudging the glistening floor The well laid bed covers never get creased by the body’s desire and Love’s tight embrace and never, they bear the fragrance of female scent! Sometimes he would shake from foot to crown at a question hurled by an unknown voice; “Did you squander away your life?” Then he recognizes…. he has been a lone traveler ever walking through a one way lane that will wind off with a few more steps! If, by chance somewhere a new track branches out he would no more be a solitary ***** There would be a companion to hold hands! Now it is too late!
