In toasting Mike I recollect His steady watching gaze, I recollect his calm On a thousand stormy days. I recall his jaunty humour In his funny cockney style, And the rationale behind it And the pleasure of his smile. And the quiet determination In the steeliness within And the love that emanated When his Jules laughed loud with him. When he held her hand and strolled In the life they shared as one, In the racket of the grand kids As they shout and leap and run. Through the years of hardy seamanship From England's chalky reach, Across the ocean's vastness To far antipodean beach, To the soft greens of New Zealand And the promise of this land And the shining eyes of Jules When he offered her his hand. And the life they shared together Through the joy, the strain the tears The utter joy of baby Kristin And her beauty through the years. The seamlessness of craftmanship In tradesman's art supreme And the pride of his achievement In a sweet successful dream. A chasm has appeared in life Where old Mike used to be. Dreadfull death has exercised It's right to set him free. But I can't feel bad for Micheal For the brilliance of it all Is celebration of his life well lived And my toast to judgement's call. Marshalg @theBach Mangere Bridge 10 January 2010.

In conclusion I would like to
Man and mouse holding hands, beholding what they have done together. A magic Marcelline, MO: a portal to lands that beckon, but never compel. Trees, silent water, castle walls dividing off magic gardens and sacred spaces.Tiki torches leading in to a real rainforest with fake animals, fedora'd adventurers and no dust or hunger or poison. A whilring, infernal rocket sprung from the mind of Jules Verne, raisng your hopes that one day you'll own that jetpack, flying car, ticket to the moon. A fairytale castle, draw-bridge down— a glittering carousel inviting from behind forbidding walls. A fort with wide open doors that fear only animatronic Indians and where every frontiersman is a hero to be emulated by your children. You need not choose right away. No need to be hasty. If you wish, you may choose to stay here, to linger, the aroma of the popcorn cart competing with the fragrance of the popcorn blossoms on the sheltering trees and the flowerbeds decorating, protecting Walt's silent, inanimate memorial, until the stars come out and the crickets chirp in the voice of a conscience content, and popcorn lights form haunting outlines, constellations telling whispered stories and seductively suggesting that tomorrow you stand in line for a new ride: falling in love, signing the papers, applying for that loan, giving it just one more chance. Here, you cannot sleep, but you will dream. And rest in the heart, in the womb.

An eye of a happy storm--
When I look in the mirror my heart stops, I can hear my soul weeping. I am confused, that is not the image I expected, certainly not what my brain anticipated. So many miles I put between us, I called, but my subconscious would change the frequency of the calls with each passing year. Over a decade and a half I prevented myself from letting sand gently tickle my feet, waves relax my soul, and sea breeze whispers in my ears. Not able to reflect and re-live times filled with music, dancing, learning to love, and learning to enjoy a colorful culture that despite pitfalls, obstacles, and oppression, manages to rise above all and shine, to light up our path to greatness and show the sacrifices our ancestors made so we don’t forget where we come from and where we have to go. I look in the mirror once more, nothing has changed, same image, now it is staring… I blinked, it is gone. my dream quickly becomes a nightmare, the image jumps out of the mirror and gives chase, I’m not fast enough. I am him—He is me, I am cursed! I am flying, no destination, no horizon, visibility is very low, I grow tired. another dream turning nightmare. same mirror, same image, I ‘m not running, not scared, never really was. I turned around to see the image turning into a beast. I am no longer him—He is no longer me. He tries to reach me, tries to talk to me, he seems to be paralyzed, frustrated, mute, impotent. I feel sorry for the beast as he is now powerless, sad, and alone. I am flying, I see the horizon, I have a destination. I am tired no more… I have a purpose.

If you can get through life like this and get away with it, hey, that’s great. But its very, very unpredictable. There’s so many ways you can ***** it up.” ~ Paul Castellano Thirty-two hundred dollars he gave me. Thirty-two hundred dollars for a lifetime.

delinquent iterations( Mob real quotes, and movie ones)
he had folded photos of Anita Page above his cot, and a melancholy little crucifix, and, of course, a long-winded letter from his mum. he dipped tobacco and always tried to spit it on the barrack’s ceiling. he would squander half of his canteen on his hair, if it got too muddy in the trenches. he whittled a bar of soap into a horse one time, and then washed himself with it right afterwards. he always put on his cap at this saucy sort of angle, even though there never was a lady around to woo. once i saw him read Jules Verne, and I asked him about it, and he said “Who?  You know I can’t read for squat.” he was a funny man, you know, a guy that makes life feel good. two days ago i saw his lungs throb against the walls of his ribcage, i saw his adam’s apple swell up rotten, and his neck grow thick and veiny. his muscles spasmed and his orifices emptied and all i could think was how worthless it is to carve a horse out of soap and then soak it to nothing right after? it makes me wonder why someone would bother whittling in the first place.

Phileas Fogg, On a brigantine sledge, Braved the Omaha wind As it twirled. So, Jules Verne might say That a full eighty days Is plenty to travel the world. Amelia Earhart Crossed the sea – The quickliest feat …For a girl – In twelve hundred forty Short minutes, you know: Others failed, but gave it a whirl. Rosemary Doyle, Our wonderful mum, Exceeded these Feats of grand scale! She has crossed oceans faster, Breezed over Great Plains, And – without perspiration – prevailed! Carefully, casually, She raised five kids: ‘Neath our burden She never collapsed. Loving and giving Us lives we are living. Have there – really – eight decades elapsed? Octogenarian? Silliest word: It sounds like A sea creature’s vet, But if you want true fun, Then just orbit the sun Eighty times, like our mom:  It’s no sweat! © 2Mar2018 DracoTalpus For Rosemary N.

No Sweat
As a canvas of naked beathy I trace every curve loving every moment when her sweet skin is pressed against mine. Her moans A music to fill the darkness of a passion filled night. Kissing lips tasting the sweetness of desire her body the vesssel of my love. Inside the softness are plessure building her love free as inside her i drive myself yerning for this moment to never end. Love is eternal *** is a action that only brings us togather as one. A storm of emotions and a valley of plessure as we explore are bodys togather one night of many of a eternal passion. Her legs around my waist back against the wall bodys apart souls togather. her plessure my passion sweat laced slumber as togather we came. as in gentle slumber i brush her hair aside from her neck. marvle at my angel so sweet within my arms. As she turns to me looking so deeply beyond all i am not. And seeing her lover and her friend she takes my inside her as we make love through the nights plessure casting aside the past and its pain. In her eyes I see all that I never knew i could be. Her eyes that touch my soul and melt the flesh. Words unspoken her body so perfect as if made for my arms. This night eternal you've cast over every day. Julie Elizbeth Robbins. You know the ocean of my soul and it yerns for you to forever stay. I could never say everything you are to me Jules. are road has been long but all I know is that. you are my passion and the life blood to my soul. For we know what other's few ever will love eternal babydoll John.

I love you honey bunny he says as if Jules is a seat ahead of us with a gun pointed straight at his nuts. Then you have Dylan making your throat red raw before the words have even slipped off your tongue. The jump from teenage delinquency to normal relations was harder than I thought after all. Olivia's paranoia ensues on to the next golden boy and Jill's left ****** is the only joy I feel I bring to the table. Every tacky horoscope site tells me you and I are simpatico my head on the other hand is knee deep in delusions of fates paths ruined and fates paths missed on both ends. I've foolishly given you my all and I foolishly anticipate the fall.

****
Sometimes when i say goodbye. I wonder how I hold it togather befor the phone touches the reciever. Does she know the pain I mask. Memories make us drunk with emotion. Time makes us bitter from the cold. And in the darkness she brings light. Under the ice she creates warmth. She kisses the past away. My shelter in which to run If I choose to lead so does she follow. Two halfs of one heart. Weve walked across broken glass to lay in a feather bed. The nights passionet flow her head apon my chest. And how could I find one so perfect for me. Distance takes the heart and traces the tear. Such comfort brought from the understanding. That pain would be erased if she were here. Jules i see that next day as a promise set in stone. That from that first hello we found in one another a reason to never be alone. The highway rolls into the horizen eternal is the love. As a sun sets apon the ocean we stand my arms wrapped around you waves crash into the shore. In love I give everything. For i could spend a lifetime here with you. And still thirst for more. With words we struggle to say. What flows from the pen. Also bleeds form the soul and that shall never go away.

Rebuttal to "Simple Things" (not written by me) (PS. read that one first)
From when I was a little child I picked up on thought and sound It isn't always visible but it is still around. It's the talent and the beauty The poetry of life You find it in a sonnet Or the colours of Monet In Pavarotti's voice The world just melts away. Shakespeare's words? They drip like honey And illuminate the stage It sends shivers up the spine What Wordsworth scribbled on a page. Jules Verne could tell the future Da Vinci saw what was to be Their vision shaped the world we know Now that is great to me. Does it have a name? What Rembrant found within his art? That secret, silent something That burns within the heart. As a child Wolfgang Mozart Drew everybody's gaze He serenaded Europe Wrote music to amaze. Was Bogart such a legend? Now, don't speak before you think Not everyone can breathe life into A person made of ink. The passion is alive It lives inside the soul. When pen is put to paper Or the bow goes to the string When that magic is embodied We hear the angels sing.

Hellopoetry 3
I wanted to thank you all for reading, commenting and enjoying my poems. This site mean the absolute world to me. A year ago ago today, I was told to deal with my metal illness myself. I decided to sign up for this website Hello Poetry. I sent in a crabby poem (My Friend Fear) and within hours I was accepted. I then wrote Depression is my Soulmate ( on my mothers birthday.... Happy Birthday Mom) That was the first poem I wrote just for this site. I thought it was too sad and went to delete it. To my surprise it trended and had so many amazing comment. Now that poem is at 8.5k views! Although that sad depressed little girl had no idea how worse things would get. You all helped me build myself back up. Through my eating disorder or suicide note you all have given me so much love and support. Thank you!! I cant forget "It" I wrote that while having a panic attack outside of a store that my mind wouldnt let me go in. To have that poem reach so many people makes me tear up ...just thank you. I couldn't write this without mentioning the greatest part of my Hello Poetry experience. I met my rock, my other half, my favorite person, my bestest of friends.... Jules You will here this whole speech all over again because its soon our one year anniversary too. Thank you Hello Poetry for letting me met the best person I've ever known. I couldn't have survived last year without all of you... thank you!!!

Thank you Hello Poetry... (not a poem)
In the First Kingdom, you find the following... a wave and a cataract for swallowing and shabby hats. In the Second Kingdom, Jules Verne hates broccoli and the moon is made of lost keys. In the Third Kingdom, God knows why you keep breathing while He holds His Breath. In the Fourth Kingdom, there's nothing There. In the Fifth Kingdom, Nothing comes after Four. In the Sixth Kingdom, your hands have a score to settle with the Architect, but you have no hands. In the Seventh Kingdom,you're naked all the time and every one makes love to you. In the Eighth Kingdom, the Devil is a Nancy Lad with no agenda and a distorted corona. And Applebee's are Orange-hornets, thank you very much. And this poem haunts your spleen. In the Ninth, you were there but then we lost you at the Fair. and that was sweet.

If I made a list of things I would like to own It would have A garden on the roof, Maybe a pipe that I wouldn't even use, A collection of every Smiths' record, A yellow bird that I would call Jules, I'm not sure, I could do with a bottle of Perrier right now, Oh and my own house Right by the sea. I don't care about the order I just know That right on the top It would have you. F.Z.N

A List
There was once a fella named Jules Who packed his bags, and got nothing to lose Before he passed away, His mother was sick Dad went off his own way. Jules went on to a life worth knowing; That to love is to heal And we learn by hurting As he was leaving He looked on a picture Of a former lover who hate him He felt nothing but one thing That she loved him dearly. He went to the bath Closed the door behind his back Laid down on the floor With mom and dad. As he stared at their lifeless bodies. He shared them a laugh: "Mom, dad... your son was bad" Sirens wail from a distance As I stared on the floor and caressed My dear Jules' head "Oh what fools we have become" "I wish I was there" ...He did what he needs done For he still does care.

Fools for Jules.
Jules why did we come here? We're walking across wet sand and hugging onto boulders, that are boomerang shaped. You hold an electric lantern and glow with light, as you walk along the shore. The stars shine brilliantly and I am sad because you don't look at me look the way you look at that lion-shaped rock. I chew on gum and try to forget about the fact that you're puffing on a Marlboro light. My Uncle died of cancer two months ago, and this is why I now chew on dentine ice. You tell me to stop smacking my lips. I want to push you in your chest, grab your cigarette, and burn a hole in your cardigan. But I bought that cardigan for you last Christmas. It cost a whole paycheck. I need a better job. But you got me that job. So at the same time, I'm grateful to work at a country club, sweeping the tennis courts with a broom, as I watch young people swing and miss with their racquets. The clouds begin to darken and cluster above the beach. My knee shakes violently and I know it's about to thunder and boom with hard rain. I open my mouth and try to put my arm around you, pulling you in closer. But you start to climb a rock, crawling on its lopsided surface, and digging your heels into its cracks. You toss the Marlboro **** and brighten the intensity on the lantern. The light spreads across the rock and the beach, like glass shattering onto a tiled floor. You hold the bright lantern in front of your face. I can no longer see your brown eyes, your black, curly hair, and your jagged nose. You look at me. But all I see is that bright and shining light covering and shrouding your silhouette. You turn right and stare affectionately at the lion shaped rock. I swallow my gum. I pick the cigarette pack from the sandy floor. I flick the lighter. My eyes close. I miss you.
