One night stands

or in my car

 

Or in your bed,,, that's where. I would put it, and maybe a whole bunch.

Google Edward II death by insertion of a RED HOT POKER INTO HIS BOWELS.

I didn't make this up.

As to whether it really happened or not...the Historians are still arguing what happened.

What is symbolic for one may not be for another as SYMBOLISM IS SUBJECTIVE.

What's up with all the caps? And why share such a creepy story in the first place?

QP

 

Why not?

Look...you have NOTHING to worry about as far as I am concerned as I am basically a nice guy....as long as my JOB I am sent on does not involve you.

You posted something to me previously that I thought to be bright, funny and quick of wit.

I wanted to test you....see just how good of a Poet you were as a the very best Poets and Writers take from the good, the bad, the beautiful, the grotesque from happiness, sadness, fear, terror, horror and things that the mind of most could not bear to process.

My reality resides in all of that.

I wanted to see if you could understand.

Sadly....you have quite a way to go...but you are at the very least on the right track.

OH....try to make certain while I am gone to the Middle East...Moon is defended.

I would consider it a personal request and favor.

Having a favor owed to you from me....has great value.

TooReal

 

Dude, take a good long look in the mirror

QP

 

Oh I do...every day....and every night before I go to bed...I always brush my teeth twice daily.

It saddens me you truly don't understand.

That does not bode well to becoming a successful Poet.

Here is some TRUE POETRY....the story of how the GODS Apollo and Dionysus fought to win the Hearts and Minds of Man.

Cygnus X-1, Book II: Hemispheres"

[I. Prelude]

When our weary world was young
The struggle of the ancients first began
The gods of love and reason
Sought alone to rule the fate of man

They battled through the ages
But still neither force would yield
The people were divided
Every soul a battlefield

[II. Apollo / Dionysus]

[Apollo: Bringer Of Wisdom]
'I bring truth and understanding
I bring wit and wisdom fair
Precious gifts beyond compare
We can build a world of wonder
I can make you all aware
I will find you food and shelter
Show you fire to keep you warm
Through the endless winter storm
You can live in grace and comfort
In the world that you transform'

The people were delighted
Coming forth to claim their prize
They ran to build their cities
And converse among the wise
But one day the streets fell silent
Yet they knew not what was wrong
The urge to build these fine things
Seemed not to be so strong
The wise men were consulted
And the Bridge of Death was crossed
In quest of Dionysus
To find out what they had lost

[Dionysus: Bringer Of Love]
'I bring love to give you solace
In the darkness of the night
In the Heart's eternal light
You need only trust your feelings
Only love can steer you right
I bring laughter, I bring music
I bring joy and I bring tears
I will soothe your primal fears
Throw off those chains of reason
And your prison disappears'

The cities were abandoned
And the forests echoed song
They danced and lived as brothers
They knew love could not be wrong
Food and wine they had aplenty
And they slept beneath the stars
The people were contented
And the gods watched from afar
But the winter fell upon them
And it caught them unprepared
Bringing wolves and cold starvation
And the hearts of men despaired

[III. Armageddon: The Battle Of Heart and Mind]

The universe divided
As the heart and mind collided
With the people left unguided
For so many troubled years
In a cloud of doubts and fears
Their world was torn asunder into hollow
Hemispheres

Some fought themselves, some fought each other
Most just followed one another
Lost and aimless like their brothers
For their hearts were so unclear
And the truth could not appear
Their spirits were divided into blinded
Hemispheres

Some who did not fight
Brought tales of old to light
'My Rocinante sailed by night
On her final flight'
To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome force
We set our course
Spiralled through that timeless space
To this immortal place

[IV. Cygnus: Bringer Of Balance]

I have memory and awareness
But I have no shape or form
As a disembodied spirit
I am dead and yet unborn
I have passed into Olympus
As was told in tales of old
To the city of Immortals
Marble white and purest gold...

I see the gods in battle rage on high...
Thunderbolts across the sky...
I cannot move, I cannot hide...
I feel a silent scream begin inside...

Then all at once the chaos ceased
A stillness fell, a sudden peace
The warriors felt my silent cry
And stayed their struggle, mystified

Apollo was atonished
Dionysus thought me mad
But they heard my story further
And they wondered, and were sad

Looking down from Olympus
On a world of doubt and fear
Its surface splintered
Into sorry Hemispheres

They sat a while in silence
Then they turned at last to me
'We will call you Cygnus
The god of Balance you shall be'

[V. The Sphere: A Kind Of Dream]

We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim
Let the truth of love be lighted
Let the love of truth shine clear
Sensibility
Armed with sense and liberty
With the heart and mind united in a single
Perfect
Sphere

My Reality....what I am tasked to do...and what my JOB entails.....

....Call me CYGNUS.

TooReal

 

Unlike you, I am not so insecure that I need to brag about what I've accomplished in this life. Plus your need to bait people really proves that you are not half as REAL as you claim. You come across more like a major :troll:
Anyway, I'm so glad we had this time together. Not.

QP

 

Really?

THAT is what you have to say?

I just posted one of the most ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND THOUGHT PROVOKING PIECE OF WORK EVER WRITTEN....and all you post about is your petty disagreements with ME?

I truly feel more sorry for you that you simply will NEVER understand....this is not a knock on you nor is it an insult.

It is a statement of deep concern.

Hemispheres poem is beautiful, Tooreal.....I never read that before.......

 

I enjoyed your post TooReal. Thanks for the poem.

 

Are you suggesting you're LOST?



Hotwater

 

I am very happy you enjoyed it.

I think it is a wonderful piece of work.

TooReal

 

I am glad you also enjoyed it.

There are just so many things in the Heavens and on Earth that people take for granted....this poem is not one of them.

Why did you say "call you Cygnus?"
