Oh how I am perfectly formed my edges caressed, shaped, and placed in a pattern by a steady hand. Set on a shelf for those who came across the sea, to see and purchase me. I am propped between two, one a dragon and the other a swan. I sit quietly to be picked and loved. I long to sink some root down but at last I realize how I am not truly able to do that. Growing is not in my character; I am more a caricature, only there to express spring. My petals sing with bright colors to distract the eye. That way I can trick a sojourning soldier trying to stay alive into buying this fake glory. I am holding onto the idea of being real and seal the thought of not feeling this hole deep within my papers seams. Seen as a work of art only represents time spent, more like wasted. The taste of lies fills your heart and I am glad only because you see me sitting crowded between many things. Things not creatures; created by an earthy man humbly bowing over plain sheets. I was once in that place waiting to be created. Thinking of what I might be: A plane to soar across great plains and over seas, a frog with bent knees hoping from a sense of jubilee, or even a crane bending great distances from the tops of trees. Yet I meekly was pressed into the meadows stars. Shinning on a summers day, listening to the children play. How we sway to a cool breeze, to tease the rocks and grass only seen through a magnifying glass. Sounds great but that’s only what I see from my ledge of a home. Out the windowsill I see me as I wish to be. Yet still I sit quietly thinking that will never be, for I am just a fake flower charming known as origami.

The intimations of our golden youth Are whispering the dreams of manhood- Subtle ways of ageless yearning Which in kind with ambient stars Quarterly describes, in subtle play The chiming of a universal soul Whose consort is a universal heart In man or woman, ever yielding scales From pole to pole, the hermeneutic art. Sweet songs of knowing, harmonies in time Resolved, upwelling, urging on the climb Of sacred being, born to unify… Conceived of ash, from ash to mount the skies On wings supernal, loft on fiery reins To ring the victors’ anthem and the aims Of truth and love for life’s enduring worth! O fair noblesse and sweet repose Of sacred care, always we hold you dear In trials of election and sojourning. Your constant grace, deep from within, unfolds To free the tortured thought and lonely fears Of desperate nights and homesick yearning. At last in you we find the kindliness Of heart, whose honored worth is bright as gold To phantom souls and this, too darkened, world. Your equipage and host of tenderness Wrought pure intent, more sure than has been told Of truth by men, the best of mind unfurled! Let none forget, in U we find our rest From whom we’re born, to whom we must return Our hope of innocence, in us the best Of love, whose lamp has ever inward burned. Mystery of love that sends In timeless whispers, on the mend Of heart and mind, eternal tides Of being; faith unto sacred faith Raising up the ancient gates Where mercy ever abides. Patiently, your mourning dove Has preened the pinions of our love Recouping every bit of life’s content. At last, what awful beauty drapes the sea And broods the dark on holy wings of peace A train of captives, born to pure intent! Still working yet upon the day Though battered in the idols’ fray To overcome the world and show forth The proven heart, all worthlessness disposed; Not trusting in those shadowy ways But piercing what, upon the naked eye Has taunted love, too dimly beheld. While alone the thought matured One social pact allied the tortured doubts And rose upon the gate Beautiful Acceptance and cooperation Our universal worth, more brightly lit!

Her supple and shapely silhouette rests submissively as the luster upon the soft satin sheets arouses sensual images of salaciousness beneath the sheen surface My empty yet enduring eyes slowly engage the darkness eager to embark upon the elusive lines energizing the elation as a sojourning moon entices her to endear Her excelling exuberance... exploited on exhalation exposing her explicitly; exemplifying the excerpt of an exonerated experience as the moonlight expires

Persuasions of a Sojourning Moon
Sauntering by the edge of a calm sea, I thus squinted through the mirror of time, And there, I beheld memories of us, Ebbing like a wave to a distant clime; Wistfully I saw our golden moments, Ineffable moments we once relished, Away vanishing by ragging torrents, Yonder sea where they'll never be reached; But, betwixt my despair I beheld clear Shadows of my heart despite cold as frost, In a jiffy erupted with sheer pleasure On sojourning to our sweet golden past; Truly true love dawns once in a life time, And in a lover's heart ever doth chime. ©Kikodinho Edward Alexandros Jumeira, Dubai 7th June 2017

LOST PARADISE (SONNET 005)
The smoke dissolves in my lungs. A constellation of bright stars forms in the depths of your eyes, weaving a language of orchestral, luminous memories—one that cannot fathom the endless possibilities of your devotion. Maybe if I write these words and keep them inside my dismantled heart, love will come to find me. Maybe in a thousand abysses that grieve love, the heavens and the earth will entwine their fresh waters and frozen tears; faint sheets of light will envelop my already soul-weary skin and thus will seep in like a sun gently fleeting its warm light into the night sky, sojourning in the consoling darkness until dawn. And if I tell you, that I have so much love to give, would you grow thorns and leave me in the cold, barren night like a stray dog, or would you come running across the ends of the earth—tiptoeing in bedazzling stars and soft sands, rushing into me?

Where Does the Sun Go?
I chanced to meet a ghostwriter at my door, her transportation failed just down the road A sojourning doppelgänger of sorts …an elusive reflection in need of a tow Transmuting words to wine, We both sip time to time, ‘Til they foment catharsis And melt to sublime. Breathless in afterglow, From insouciance and hubris, Words weather to sediment That we’ll climb to the precipice And once at the summit We’ll cast words adrift, Toast our glasses to flying And then leap from the cliff. I read your words by day, to skirt the wiles of your will but I know your heart by night. Leave me, charlatan, to my waking hours, I know whose ghost you are why haunt my spirit in its sanctum by the light. I contravene with tears in the corners of your eyes, Guide them back, and kiss their lids And send them off to hide. In dark whispers, calling you and calling you To join them by their side. Why must you take me with you, is this protest not enough? My importune to tender ears, “I’ve things to do, I must!” Still you wrap yourself around my world, My overflowing chalice And turn the wine to liquid gold, oh, ever clever alchemist.

Boy howdy, zipity dipity bipity do, crashawnk, codunkles,blimdicals, felu. Words that mean nothing with clues white and black....black? Well that is you staring back, you think you have your foot in the door but it's only a crack, the lights are off , but you don't look back? Two chairs sitting on a hill , people laughing , people playing, climb crystal stairs to the sill. See through the windows out or in? Perception of deception for those sills face in. It's your eyes that stare back that bare back and dare back. I digress , regress, deflect and subject. Myself is just playin with this yarn to no regret. So I'll stare back, I'll enter the void. I'll dare back and care back and not be annoyed. Reaching down to pull others up, I was offered a drink and I spilled the cup. Souls are sojourning how can they be ill? Don't worry draw closer it's only a chill. Take your fill, there is more in the till.....If only we were here when the time stood still. White light reflects and dazzles the eye? Tear drop shaped prisms make colors alive. You and I know that this is no lie, how can it be if we are to survive? Sit in your chair and I'll sit in mine we will do time together and pass it with......looking back at each other or back and forth? They face each other, reflect each other, see into each other. Are not each other. Are looking for one another. Are combined into one another. Just went past one another. Did your eyes get their fill or would you see more, did you see the end of life or just another shore? Were the waves beating and tearing for more? Clawing at what belongs on the floor? Little pebbles or be they keys , white and black strung with.....seaweed? How did this instrument get to this shelf? Coral and ships and notes float about? Bubbles like notes lilting about? Who makes music in these dark depths? How stricken be the keys and the pedals with....ease? Lift it up, lift up, lift it up....no yarn no yet....lift it up! It's flying on nothing but the thickest of thin....air compressed and blown up again? Should notes not matter when your up this high? Your making music and........ I just need to sigh... But back to the sills and the people and hills and to the eyes of yours and mine. This chair and that, this stare and that. Up crystal stairs and to the door. It slowly revolves till we are dizzy once more. Ok now yarn, what spin you for?

Clinging hard metallic walls with veins ******* sweetness from little leftovers trickling down the gorse stayed dancing between open spaces of hell and heaven. Death like tussle with elements yellow blooms suckled  pollen from air vents travelling in the streams passing within reach shedding its seeds into the waiting arms of rare  tourist birds sojourning in the skyways of distribution and danger. The gorse started small, spread quickly and took over the countryside with no one watching. The caliphate was born under the black hood of death and the guns aimed at all with scimitars of control too late to stem or seep the spreading venom. Whole armies now sacrificed on the altar of ideals. The crusades will begin again. © Marshall Gass. All rights reserved, 2 months ago

Gorse
In one dreadful winter night I awoke and found the Truth The self in me died And the duality melt To synchronize To become The I. Now I am the Absolute The really Real Earlier... I was a 'being' A myopic over-bent A creature of false crisis Of Hamletian dilemmas Of Ramusian dualism Caught up in the concentric circles I was one.... Spirited into myriad forms Of love and lust, Of desire and appetite. A pilgrim sojourning into the endless night Purblind by the dazing mirages. I lost my way In the eternity of illusion Materiality held me Time bound me At the dead-end of my experience In the flash-back of my awareness I delved into the I And found myself in the Edenic Garden Rejoicing in the celestial music.

Song of the Self
Tell me again why you are running away, ...forgotten yearning. It seems to me like you've gone astray, ...very discerning. I know you won't listen to what I've got to say, ...so concerning. But it seems so selfish of you not to stay ...ever the casern king. You always 've seen the world in a shade of gray ...endless murmuring. I wanted, just once, to hear you pray ...useless stammering. Just to know where your soul would lay ...'aven't started burning. I tried to shape you, create form from clay ...too inurning But it seems that I created a mess, a splay ...you're learning Blinded, I just watched as you began to sway ...court's adjourning And now your body ash as we prepare to bray ...just sojourning My constant pushing led to this needless slay ...very secerning Regrets of times past will be reminisced today ...un-upturning And so, we say goodby one last time along the brae ...stop mourning As we spread your ash to the wind on this spring day ...I'll be...ret..u..r...n.....i.......

Lessons of May
After the blast of lightning from the east A dismal fog hoarse siren howled at dawn Bent double, like old beggars under sacks Whispering in my hearth Sojourning through a southern realm Halted against the shade of a lost hill Charged with beauty as a cloud With bright darkling glows. (A Poem made up of lines from various Wilfred Own poems, mostly just first lines and published just a day or two before Britain declared war on Germany on 4 August 1914 in tribute to Wilfred Owen, one of the greatest First World War Poets)

you are being. pointillation along this broken pale blue dot lit with focus and swarming intent, strange, and sometimes dark, yet true enough: your words do not simply word but world things into existence; your mere gaze, ten thousand and ten gods clod in daisy chains, whose glance together moves matter into wave, history into potential origin re-eden'd, new again; your light, never flawed or sinful, always already there and so ******* perfect. everything feels wrong, but feels so right. all the devils are here in drag. worry not poet, you are only light that matters. so, play the role. be somebody. and make me swim inside your pointillist earthing spoken, cursor sojourning across the blank page that awaits the next line.

It is the first day of Spring Such a wonderful thing A time for rejoicing Definitely! A new year in the making now that winter is breaking The whole world is awaking, Thankfully. The long winter is ending Daylight hours are extending Good weather is pending, Hopefully. Longer days so empowering Plants that spent the winter cowering Begin budding and flowering, Abundantly. After months hibernating It’s time for procreating Many creatures start mating, Joyfully. The whole world is reviving Mother Nature is thriving Offspring start arriving, Happily. Birds that spent winter sojourning In the sun start returning As the weather begins turning, Eventually. And such a wonderful thing to hear the birds begin to sing in the bright early morning, Cheerfully. Everything begins growing New life begins showing Bright new colours glowing, Eagerly. People get to wondering what the new year will bring Hoping, wishing, praying, Earnestly.

Spring
gOd must have    been somewhere else       for he had forgotten there   is a planet called Earth squall of the morning harboring at bay the howl of the wind rampaging   through the tired streets,   i take no sorry hints from the bends and turns, nor did i hear the gutter weep.   only the baritone snarl of the swathe     of brute air through the entire vein       of the city. here now is the voluble thwart, crumbling in the heart of it    are mere species, the slavered hounds     of being chained to verily existing here, even the infinitesimal     were not spared in the glib downpour.    windows shut deep into stillness, the automaton shadow submerged in delirious light, as winds once again    with unannounced perditions    uplifting the nails, tossing the   alloys like birds swift in the catapult of breezy flights, lives sojourning,      some left only a scarring story,     or just prodigal and nothing else. carcass stench carves its reek       in the onlooker, the rat **** foams altogether with the brine, a cesspool     of unheard screams dwarfed by       the circular roar of the grey behemoth   showing only its unblinking eye running, searching for a place     to go less terrifying          than this, a bearable departure,    or a hopeless sling at rescue, luckless imperative,        today's vibrant children, ashen tomorrow,       gone.

Serious verses often I write but those I love most are homely, gentle and light of mothers feeding their kids of them each other kissing of fathers toiling in the family farm bringing home the produce in the evening of the blue sky shining on every green field and garden of flowers in blooming of birds singing on every bough in the glorious morning of the moon beaming and the stars glittering of young lovers vowing to be faithful and true in their lives' sojourning of the old reminiscing their youth's most splendid moments with hearts content in understanding of laughter vibrating when  friends of old come together good cheer sharing As long as life around me is still encircling my verses and songs shall still be resounding life is to be embraced--that's the joy of living.

VERSES OF MINE
Lately I step down Catching my breath Out of words Out of my head Out of her town Now waiting for another Doing my hair Biting my lip Keeping my eyes From dripping but harder It turns. The dreams we had once The resolutions On the paper All mine, none of hers. Burns. Hole in the pocket. Now its all in vain I put on my glasses Oblivious, I face the station It comes again Sojourning once more. The feels train

THE FEELS TRAIN
in the galleries of his dreams the most voluptuous women could be seen these mirages of his mind were so real in his REM moments curvacious pillowed thighs ******* of tantalizing appeal sensual libations his hands could touch e'en the petals of the flower's moistened entree the night hours of sojourning to the female forms frames did bring him pleasure with the colors and textures they did supply how he so wishes they were at his command in the waking hours of day light

There I was, there was I, sojourning... so journeying to seek absoluteness with absolute certainty like a true voyager; a sojourner of Truth, when immediately upon my arrival, I realized, Aye, there was I, and my, oh my! I made ingress to a cloud floating upon a whisper in the eye of Nature, in Nature's eye; and she said to me with interest, in all her splendour, in that whisper that kills me so, "I was there." but where was I? Was I there when there I was, wandering in Wonderment by the by?  For where e'er I go, it seems, there am I.

There am I
True hacks and phonies all around, speaking through their ivory horns of pure disgust and wallowing in incompetence, ******* and kissing and mishandling their newborn children which they name in propriety and for the pearls of God that allow them to **** and **** well. I will blast them all to the deepest of hell for there they belong with me and they will be outrightly ****** by the sojourning sheiks that give their sufferers a razor-tipped ******** that they know they deserve. Where is your relatable, so enjoyable, three or four piece family TV meal that you so deeply craved after a long day at work? It is gone gone gone and now you are subject to your deepest incongruities with yourself, how dare you be such a bother and how dare you believe in your ability to inspire. If you are not feeling this frustration of never ceaselessly being able to grasp at the story that lies within the easel of the juices of your soul, then you are not- and never will be- worth anything more than some broken throbbing piece of genitalia that seethes and suckles at the broken fallacies of pure love and distraught youth. You do not know and you will never know, and if you dare you will never truly make progress for you are a vacuous, insufferable, erratic dame that is not a good piece of skin so much as you are the perfect tool for everyone: a loudspeaker stripped naked and bare for all the world to **** a true contributor, unlike your deepest and most esteemed of peers. Aww, how does that feel? How does it feel to finally implode from your own vicarious and hollow attempts at wisdom and knowledge? What’s left to be learned has been learned, don’t you understand? Don’t you get it? Don’t you think it’s time to stop digging your ***** ***** nails into that rusted cloud of old hope and forgiveness? Everyone has left, and that is what we must deal with. You must be some mongrel to sit down like an unrepentant dog. Cross-legged and all.

I dream about tongue travel, sojourning over the contours of your luscious landscape, kissing & tasting, nibbling & licking all of your nooks and crannies, finding all your secret hiding places, the ones that make you feel real, the ones that make you feel totally feminine & **** the ones I love, the ones I appreciate, the ones I can't get enough of you.
