We conquer all worlds, Sweet creature: melt my soul, freshly thawed, vulnerability exposed. Eager for unbridled wickedness, within lilting rhythms of your magic. So inviting, such interwoven seduction, I discover that you are indeed, She. The Mistress who cannot be denied, so take my hand, I shall guide you, while you, Dark sweet demigod, Guide me to intoxicating magic, magic that is you: and you alone. Pour your evil charms upon me, Stoke dying embers of my neglected power. See the flames rekindled; feel the comforting ice of my being, savour my destructive cold fire. Let me soothe you in return, offering delicious despicable deeds. Havoc wrought in your name. The demonic glow inside grows, until I fear nothing, Dark Mistress. I am exalted in this vile inferno, A conflagration of our own creation. Dark destiny shall not desert us,   but shall become the favoured guide. I shall never be without you, Dark Mistress, and together, We conquer all worlds. © Paul Chafer 2014

Dark Mistress
Can you feel it Shh, allow the galaxy to pamper your body, blanket the essence of your mind, bit-by-bit Travel on a higher awareness to understand the galaxy’s gentle gift Close your eyes and allow your mind to softly drift Soft Moonlight Dust Illuminating the night skies, given warmth of its inner trust Centered in the sky, a star abates for its enlighten ****** Kindred minds to enrapture, as souls physically adjust So gentle, as a touch to the skin An inner space to conquer, there an exploring craving begins Awareness of self stirring into the constellation Bodies attuned beyond the stretch of imagination Savoring on the flavor of the alignment sweeten taste Desires igniting an inferno, the heat of its flames refusing to wait Overheated friction surrendering without debates Runaway yearning weakening in the presence of fate The ecstasy of the moonlight’s dust felt, abiding to the crack of dawn Emotions of the elixir slowly withdrawn A Cheshire moonrise Always a sacred communion given in surprise Masked feelings hidden behind the stars in our eyes Sprinkles of pixie dust as the moon becomes full Paired upon, as lace meets wool Interwoven and tenderly spun on a galactic spool Stars In Exile Twinkling for eyes to glimpse beyond the earth’s smile Canopus to Antares, oh how you make me shine Closing my eyes, coveting your point as I’m making you mine Settled and glittering as small diamonds binding in the sky A wondrous elopement to experience in the blink of an eye Soft whispers to the ones that shoot right before they fall Such a beautiful and breathlessly cadence to wish under them all The Gift Of The Sun’s Stroke Umm, shooting stars kept me awoke Relentless bodies bathing under the moon Caresses, touches, entwined souls echoing the note of its weakening tunes Sweeter and sweeter, deeper and deeper Bodies fueled, hot as a heater, bodies climbing steeper and steeper Heat consumes the interior of the temple Sweat of life, as movements come together and then disassemble Elated, sedated, dipping in a cool blue lagoon Kisses under the sun on a beautiful afternoon Temperatures rising not a moment too soon June slamming into summer’s heat A merriment of a sun stroke basking in the glorious feast The galaxy and its spicy passion A gift to the world to enjoy in any unbridled fashion

How sweet the honeysuckle lattice
*A parade of fluorescent silhouettes, Aim against a tranquil lit afternoon sky, In a collage of interwoven blossoms, Casually stretching, Side by side. Releasing a pleasant aroma, Interlacing within the calming sea, As the water creases, upon a bed of shimmery grains, Below a shade of fluffy clouds, A place you would never want to leave. When the tides slowly washes in, In a rich and mild lather .... lacking impel, Underneath a ribbon of distinctive seashells, Leaving a mesmerizing imprint, And a magical spell.*

A Tranquil Lit Afternoon Sky
Perhaps your body is composed of thousands of stars. Limitless  constellations make up your fingertips your eyelashes and the curvatures in your ears. Galaxies are interwoven under your skin and how you glow. You glow like the moon in the sky when it is at its brightest. When nothing compares to the sight of the moon and the tiny specks in the sky are just insignificant floating circles. Your hair flows like the Nile River. Boundless, pristine water overflowing at my fingertips. You are more than the ocean; you are all the bodies of water in the earth combined. You are the last drop of coffee in my old, vintage, mauve red mug. The last caffeine induced sip that flows through my oesophagus with a relinquishing taste of sweetness. You are the sweet nectar that hummingbirds look for in flowers and when they can't find flowers with a taste that will satisfy them, they settle on trees. You are the trees that produce oxygen, and the branches of the trees that tower over me like a netted blanket. You are the cotton blanket keeping me warm on windy or rainy days because it doesn't snow in the Philippines. But if you were snow, I would gather you in a plastic container and keep you in my ice compartment so you wouldn't melt. You make me feel like I'm melting. Like every possible emotion i possess flows out of me like vapor. And you are the smoke that forms after you've blown the flame of a candle; you gently float in the air surrounding the space where the flame used to be. You are the compacted tissues in my chest; you fill the void I once had. You comprise my veins, my arteries and vesicles; you are a vessel of euphoric elation. You are my utopia. You are.

*On a bright and delightful Easter morning A furry white rabbit, wiggled her pink adorable nose Peeking through lush bushes In a lovely and distinctive pose And jiggled her cottony soft scut Aiming into a vegetation On this sunny day With so much motivation Quietly hopping into a blissful garden Placing decorative filled eggs in pastels With little time to rest As she quickly inhales Adding vibrant colours, to an emerald spiky blanket And into a rainbow of unfolding tulips Enlightening her way, like a dazzling carnival For little peeps enjoyment, upon soft winds movement Beginning in the latter daylight hours, as tots of all ages Eagerly carried empty interwoven baskets, on their quest Pacing through, as in peekaboo And observing who competes the best*

On A Bright And Delightful Easter Morning
She calmly unlocks the front door as the wind flings the screen through wild tantrums. She droops down into her dusted rocker, pushing with her lavender heels to start the sway. Her sole taps softly, as the chair creaks onto fallen lacquer and the porch plays in discord through dancing lace. Interwoven hands lie atop her lap in a sea of navy with floral ships at its surface. Silver strands fall from her clouded bun and a few locks float past her sunken shoulders. With jaded eyes she looks at the corner to a poor table, where a cold candle peaks among a grassy field of melted wax riddled with burnt fuses. And near the candle, a dusted white hat remains anchored to the wooden surface. She can still smell the stale cigar smoke lingering in the room. “He’ll be here soon,” she thinks as her daze slowly sets in. The world seems quiet as she fills her eyes with sleep and the chair continues its march. Her hands unlock from their grasp and the screen door gently knocks.

Dedicated to Autumn Nolen and Katie Ormsby Sewed little pink stitches, all over my broken heart. Soothed my worries with sweet words and reality T.V. I had forgot how important, friendship is. Late night talks and afternoon hikes, little black dresses and curling irons Our hands interwoven, laughed through dark streets, and bright rooms. Smoke and sunshine and sisterhood. I am so thankful, to have friends like you.

Pink Stitches
Simplicity is so simple that our mind are not well informed in it's simple formation. Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication. In it there are complexities and it's quite interwoven. Beautiful in its form. It shows us the beauty of creation telling its own stories with peculiar history. Nature is so deep and captivatingly beautiful. Intriguing in its own way and profoundly awesome. It's amazing how much of it we really know. Its so confounding how many people really comprehends the principle back of it. In simplicity nature speaks. Spirals of things visible are so complex that it's configuration and formulas are of simple nature, only to be deciphered by a simple mind. The mind of man is sophisticated and complex but simple. It's rhythm pulsates within the intricate formation of the spirit behind it making it one of the most simple but not so understood things of nature. Like a jigsaw puzzle it's sophisticated complexity is made simple by a sound mind. The mind has to be disciplined to decode it's hidden ciphers. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.

BEAUTY OF CREATION
tropical breeze waves washed upon a soothsayer sand beach whispering love poems between each sigh seagull clouds baying from above lustrous sunshine massaging with temperate beams beneath the waves, turtles twist in tubular turnabouts bright coral and jaded fish teem in the reef shimmering sunshine shining through waves casting shadows and light amongst an oceanic spectrum we flit through the ocean as foreigners and locals tiny air bubbles pressing from our lips unlike the denizens filtering through the reef we press up to the surface and break through for breath exiting the ocean of life, we wash upon the shore driftboards sewn together in matrimony our clam shelled hands interwoven in the fabric of our souls sand pressed between to make a glistening pearl i sit up while you lay down on our thin towels falling asleep with an upward curve on your lips i trace my finger down your back like pencil to paper drawing each crevice, perfection, and blemish on the landscape of your body a faint breeze ghosts through the swaying palm trees dolphins nonchalantly diving through the air and ocean ***** scuttling along the precipice of the sea and sand waves washing the crooked edges of stones amongst this equilibrium we are infinite soaking up this portrait life like a sea sponge in these moments we are infinite moments we imagined we had

Do You Sea What I Sea
She sits at the loom Weaving the fabric Interwoven with dreams The threads of trust and surrender It’s an intimate mesh of finery The colors of passion dyeing it To hues of crimson, from the blushes Of the maiden weaving her dreams Intricate designs adorn the taffeta With the future of love and togetherness The bonding of a strong fabric of Love To drape them over their bare bodies Together, gazing at the starry skies As they descend to adorn the drape Shimmering with the passion of Love The maiden and her lover, has woven a drape Celebrating their togetherness For Love has bonded them with fabric of Love A drape so intricate and warm For Love shall always be draped, till eternity © Amitav (Radiance)

People of peace walk gently People of strength never be stilled Abundance awaits those with courage RW Dennen- Stay out of Iraq the spirits pleaded... Eyes wide opened, boots and shoes lined up in order in almost perfect straight lines in Philadelphia July 2005 Symbolic death shoes of civilians out of synchronization in a war of soldiers Under a small tree meticulously placed we're children's shoes in a perfect solid circle I read o months of age on tags I read 8 years old on tags I read 12 years old on tags And on and on the children's lists grew, as wisdom must have waned and common decency was once cherished These shoes and boots sadly became the dimishment of human beings, horizontal and vertical rectangular snapshots of once smiling faces all in the name of war, they vanished all too soon And I saw running tears and tears being held back and I felt lumpy throat feelings in unison with the rest but in cemetery silence Touching deep feelings so overwhelming is to touch a false bent flower and flowers and pictures of deceased soldiers and civilians and letters once presented at doorways throughout America America cried its sadness and disbelief, the vanished breathers of life giving air, Our sons, our daughters, Our mothers, our fathers, Our sisters, our brothers, Our relatives, Our close friends, All perished, like a vampire that ***** away the life blood of the once innocent I noticed mostly tourists coming in droves from Market Street towards us volunteers who were located adjacent to the visitor's center side entrance as silence like before still prevailed And like before the atmosphere prevailed even stronger as these boots and shoes became tombstones And tender hearts became tombstones broken into small pieces Passions never changed into loud speech And the green turf rolled down towards the sidewalk like a green carpet holding all those boots and shoes like a quilt interwoven with boot and civilian shoe memories about days that should never happen again...

"LIKE THE STARS, YOU SHINE" (A POEM FOR OVI ODIETE)
Of that so sweet imprisonment My soul, dearest, is fain -- - Soft arms that woo me to relent And woo me to detain. Ah, could they ever hold me there Gladly were I a prisoner! Dearest, through interwoven arms By love made tremulous, That night allures me where alarms Nowise may trouble us; But lseep to dreamier sleep be wed Where soul with soul lies prisoned.

Did anyone ever thought about this fraternal oneness, why we are all in this universe and so profoundly related. Did you know that beneath the differences of different people lies only one man nature. One world and one people. Different beliefs but one source. Varied culture and tradition but one humanness. Drinking same fountain of water from above and below the earth. All breathing same air, what one breathes out, another takes in. We blend and merge together, resonating in synergy to bring desired octaves in response to a beautiful and blissful sequence, with different forms and different wavelength Interwoven holistically in wholeness. As one sleeps the other awakes, in different geographic areas, sharing the same sun and moon, as the stars shine daily bears witness, though it is only seen in part in accord with whoever is in the light or dark, it's brightness is shown in the dark only when the moon shines, and hidden in the brightness of the sun, as one is in the light with the sun, the other is in dark with the moon. We still shines as the stars in the sky even though we don't know it. Don't mess up what is so important in your life just because you are a little unsure of who you are. Be truly your neighbors keeper, for we are all related. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.

lead me down the hall to dance in the secret of the dark your blackened past and your hot hot hands pressing my temples, turning my body into rumble trembling for your delicate deliciousness the world is morphing with my pipe dream visions my face chisels, my heart whistles my life is lived in intervals between sunlight and dawn between the long night walks chasing the moon, interwoven in the oasis of your room

Oasis
There was a Boy; ye knew him well, ye cliffs And islands of Winander! many a time, At evening, when the earliest stars began To move along the edges of the hills, Rising or setting, would he stand alone, Beneath the trees, or by the glimmering lake; And there, with fingers interwoven, both hands Pressed closely palm to palm and to his mouth Uplifted, he, as through an instrument, Blew mimic hootings to the silent owls That they might answer him.—And they would shout Across the watery vale, and shout again, Responsive to his call,—with quivering peals, And long halloos, and screams, and echoes loud Redoubled and redoubled; concourse wild Of jocund din! And, when there came a pause Of silence such as baffled his best skill: Then, sometimes, in that silence, while he hung Listening, a gentle shock of mild surprise Has carried far into his heart the voice Of mountain-torrents; or the visible scene Would enter unawares into his mind With all its solemn imagery, its rocks, Its woods, and that uncertain heaven received Into the ***** of the steady lake. This boy was taken from his mates, and died In childhood, ere he was full twelve years old. Pre-eminent in beauty is the vale Where he was born and bred: the churchyard hangs Upon a slope above the village-school; And through that churchyard when my way has led On summer-evenings, I believe that there A long half-hour together I have stood Mute—looking at the grave in which he lies!

staying up late just thinking of all the could-beens and should-beens that could and should have been us. what if we'd tried a little harder? persisted a little longer? held on to each other as tightly as we should have? would you be by my side then, instead of the empty void staring tauntingly back at me? would our hands be clasped together, interwoven, your eyes that once bored right back into the back of mind haunting me wherever i would go, your touch tattooed into the skin of my palms as they once were? what if i hadn't let go? what if i'd learnt fate's cruel lesson that possessing the trait of fickleness never awarded anything but everything slipping past, earlier? would you be willing to stay with me then, and forgive me for all the wrongdoings that i would inevitably cause? would we have ever evolved into more than just an idealized dream drawn from a fragmented memory, the idea of an irrevocable love that despite having been mulled over for what would've seemed like an eternity, has never seen the light of reality before? then again, everything does appear only better when it's all in your head. when i can still pretend that you are who i expect you to be, and i may be accepted for who i am truly, excess baggage of unneeded insecurities and imperfections weighing me down and all. is it better to be cleanly rejected or to be torn down bit by bit, night by night, spent just staring at a blank screen and waiting, hovering over imperishably, pure naive hope fuelling the drive to continue delaying the inexorable? foolishly believing that crossed fingers and any lingering feelings that hadn't yet been sieved away by the jaded culture we exist and drown in today would perhaps, even if accidentally, as if out of a fairytale that i starkly don't belong to, send me a text back?

Vertebrate beginnings, I collate each chordates morphological traits Striving to understand their profuse, evolutionary attributes. Memorize the fusion of Latin and Greek roots Interwoven just enough to complicate Instead of differentiate inarticulate invertebrates.

“The Maiden” Over her long legs, Hips sway in a salacious manner, As she strolls, Past the gaggle of gentlemen, Mustering the valor to face, Their glances varying from curiosity, To disgust, Perhaps intrigue as these men, Behold this exotic form of femininity. An aura of mystery emanates, From a tenderly warm demeanor, Welcoming the viewers, Who encounter this daughter of Aphrodite, Capturing attention regardless of, One’s alleged reasoning. Intrepid knights receive the blessing, To witness the hazel windows, Into a maiden’s soul, Deeply adorned with unbidden intensity, Bestowing a small glimpse, Into a beguiling beauty, Mistaken as a cozening siren, To an untrained eye. Many chaps desire her, Until revelations bereave these fellows, Of security interwoven into the fabric, Of society sewn with fine threads, Uniting into an existence of conformity. Some licentious men lunge, At the maiden, Gaping at what these fellows, Observe as a tantalizing goddess, Desiring to place lascivious hands, Upon her soft skin. Misguided stories allow life to be given, To glaring spectators, Spewing jeers of rancor, Bemused as the unknown, Deftly saunters near, The valley of Oblivion. Like the majestic Mona Lisa, The maiden consists of subtle nuances, Painting her tributes behind cryptic techniques, Allowing one to inspect her façade, Learning her similarities to the wind, Feeling her spirit, Rather than glancing upon visual proof. The souls encountering the maiden, Gain respite from strangling thoughts, Placated by her light, Revealing the contrasts, The highlights to expose, An extraordinary beauty, Manifesting from genuine kindness, Breaths of generosity, And irrevocable love of all shades and tints, Within a painter’s palate.

The Maiden
“The Maiden” Over her long legs, Hips sway in a salacious manner, As she strolls, Past the gaggle of gentlemen, Mustering the valor to face, Their glances varying from curiosity, To disgust, Perhaps intrigue as these men, Behold this exotic form of femininity. An aura of mystery emanates, From a tenderly warm demeanor, Welcoming the viewers, Who encounter this daughter of Aphrodite, Capturing attention regardless of, One’s alleged reasoning. Intrepid knights receive the blessing, To witness the hazel windows, Into a maiden’s soul, Deeply adorned with unbidden intensity, Bestowing a small glimpse, Into a beguiling beauty, Mistaken as a cozening siren, To an untrained eye. Many chaps desire her, Until revelations bereave these fellows, Of security interwoven into the fabric, Of society sewn with fine threads, Uniting into an existence of conformity. Some licentious men lunge, At the maiden, Gaping at what these fellows, Observe as a tantalizing goddess, Desiring to place lascivious hands, Upon her soft skin. Misguided stories allow life to be given, To glaring spectators, Spewing jeers of rancor, Bemused as the unknown, Deftly saunters near, The valley of Oblivion. Like the majestic Mona Lisa, The maiden consists of subtle nuances, Painting her tributes behind cryptic techniques, Allowing one to inspect her façade, Learning her similarities to the wind, Feeling her spirit, Rather than glancing upon visual proof. The souls encountering the maiden, Gain respite from strangling thoughts, Placated by her light, Revealing the contrasts, The highlights to expose, An extraordinary beauty, Manifesting from genuine kindness, Breaths of generosity, And irrevocable love of all shades and tints, Within a painter’s palate.

This is for the residents who remember And for the transplants who Have yet to be informed But have got an inkling Burque has gone from Bustling to busted And back again Growing up in the 80’s I learned about the Varying degrees of “sick” As my dad pointed out The pekid pachucos perusing Pharmacy isles Attempting to purchase Cough syrup with codeine In the evenings Driving home down Central I would ceremoniously Count hookers My parents would Precariously pack heat In the trunk of our car Or even in my mom’s special ***** pack With the hidden compartment For her .38 snub nose Because you never know Who will be in your home When you arrive That’s a given When flop houses are Interwoven with prime real estate And barrio boundaries Border the bourgeois’ bungalows And Huning’s Castles And residents rarely recognize Or realize That aside from the locals The European Jews Was the only group gutsy enough To settle here And create commerce Despite risks of being raided By Apaches And they reaped the benefits Off Roma and Marquette Because the rewards Turned out to be greater than The risks And up North Where Sephardic turned Crypto Conversions to Catholicism Kept the Messiah’s spirit alive But in basements They still did Chi fives! I was saddened in middle school When I realized That many of our parents Were too ashamed of our roots To teach us Spanish And our Schools ****** so severely That most of us Didn’t learn English either But hey – All you need to Communicate while cruising Are cat calls And the thumping boom Of the bass in the tubes And the hydraulic drop When they hit The hot spots From Tingley, Kit Carson and Central to Copper Each kid dreams that His ride Will be the show stopper I could rant and rave And rattle off for days But bottom line – We have the most Curious state With mysterious qualities And in-depth histories But most of us are More concerned with Bud Light And Biscochitos Con Manteca Because it just tastes great!

Stomach pains directly connected to the interwoven circuits that are Wondering, hoping. Stopping at blind corners Questioning the soul... A potion of acid and cactus forms Transformative contributions. Catching up because you woke up to late. Now it's to late; so late that your building a statue to remember the good you see in others. The universe is penetrating everything at the same time it's being penetrated while we all wonder what is happening? What does this all mean? Why are we here? Everything is ***** and a ****** everyone is ******* everyone and everything and everyone and everything is being ****** at the same time... Nobody gets it while the soul is in the body. By the time the true soul leaves the said body you fools will build a statue of this body that no longer has a soul.

Poetic ***********
i don't want to smell alcohol on your breath when you kiss me, i want to taste the hours that you waited and to feel how much you missed me. i don't want to breathe in smoke when i bury my face into your chest, i want to hear your barely-beating heart and feel it pulsate in the warmth of your flesh. i don't want to see the moon & stars swirl like diamonds against the onyx sky, unless i can do so in the comfort of your arms and have your fingers interwoven with mine. i don't even want my morning coffee unless you're the one that brings it to me, having learned to make it just the way i like it and committed my preferences to your memory. i don't want sunrises or sunsets if i can't watch them dance upon your skin, or love you between dove-white sheets on saturday mornings at half-past ten. i don't want to see the day i become old & grey an early grave i would sooner invite, than to live to greet old age without you by my side to guide me into eternal night. - m.f.

things i don't want
When the fat ***** spat in my face and called me a hippie, I wasn't sure if it was better or worse than being called a hipster poser in the city. The fat ****** the ****** poets, the lesbians, and the saliva are all the same. Pointless plot twists in a headache of trite storytelling. And you can ask Plato if his "is-ness" really meant all that much, and you can ask Bukowski if he found the celestial kissing the ******** and you can ask the drunken Catholic dukers if the clover has a **** thing to do with it, and you can ask the caterpillars that don't want to be butterflies, and they'll all bark the same interwoven tune: nobody is right, God is a coward, my boss owes me reparations , and any dumb dog spouting off superiority needs a steel muzzle and a molecular transfusion.
