Best Laid Plans Give Away

Starting sometime tomorrow and through the entire weekend why not grab yourself a book of really interesting poems and verse? Put it in your plans to get a kindle copy of Best Laid Plans from any Amazon website this weekend – you can’t go wrong really – its FREE. A fifth collection of poetry and rhyme by G. Michael Vasey musing about the magic of life. From the mystery of The Story through to magic of the Hexagram and the number 6, Vasey twists words and phrases to paint deliciously vivid images of how he sees life and everything. Five Star Review by Oregon Chick on Amazon.com I personally, loved this unique and genuine glimpse into the authors mind; his thoughts and processes of the modern world as we know

Passer By

Travelling a well traveled road Valleys and mountain peaks pass me by Dusky deserts and luscious oceans sprawling Somewhere there is a place unique to me But I haven’t yet found it There is no home in my life I am a traveller, a passer by These days I travel light I carry little but my burdens in life I have washed myself in the stream of life And burned away dross in the primal fire I have climbed the tree that lies at my center The view from its peak took my breath away I have drawn holy waters from the mystic well And yet, I haven’t found my home Perhaps at this journeys end I will find my repose? Many miles yet to travel Many sins to unravel

Succubus

Dusky curves and veiled, shadowy lines Tempting teasing tresses Lie heavily on her naked shoulder Bold breasts beneath emphatic caresses She sucks me deep into her fiery world Draws me, tempts me, ever closer A smoldering, yet lingering look Is all that I have to offer Forlornly following her voluptuous figure Tracing her curvaceous shape with my finger My enflamed imagination still rising Her sultry hotness pulled my trigger Silken moistness moistly beckons Tiny pinpricks of pleasure A voyage of erotically rabid discovery Honeyed tongue to steal my treasure Flicked, licked and deliciously twirled Building to an arching release of pressure Image: Succubus by Jasonlan (Lan Jun Kang) Poem from my book – The Art of Science

Lifelines

Lifelines In indelible ink Or the tattoo on my navel Lifelines Seared across my open palm Experienced by the ladle Snapped shut, my eyes Drift across Dreamy inner scenes A life in perspective Seeking a new directive A sure beginning A waning middle And uncertain end Simple sensational synapses Reliable renewables relapses I act but did I intend? I hope and I depend That the light at the end of my tunnel Is relief and not further trouble I got my opinions And I got my views Imagination aplenty Creating cryptic critical crises With dependable dull devices Lifelines In my biological genes In the redness of my blood Lifelines Is it really pre-ordained Or am I truly self-sustained?

News Mogul

The old lizard stirs And licks his chops Juices running What a story! Another chance to peddle It’s horrifically obscene agenda Pile it on until surrender Millions in the bank Reptilian smile Plays across his mouth Another story! Another chance to meddle And promote his political will The more blood you spill The better Lurid headlines Crooked techniques Playing chess With public opinion Such a mess Made by an Old reptilian Not sure where this one came from… but, it works….

The Creator’s Smile

Reddened stain A blot upon humanity God sheds a tear At Man’s utter insanity Inside, deep inside Surely you have a heart? Looking for Christ’s glowing bride Keep looking, as She can’t be lost She is in there somewhere You just need to seek harder Anima Mater is hiding Tears fall, blood spills Man is confused over His Godlike power to kill Is there victory in Death? All that hard wrought experience Be still! Take a breath Parisian walkways Laid bare and bereft Creator sighs a sadly sigh His adversary beneath laughs It echoes in the sky like gunfire Light temporarily obscured in darkness Trees rustle in the wind The cloud passes Light restored, Love adored A smile of seven colors As normality is restored

The Cross

Have to admit I am deeply flawed And no matter how hard I try These things so deeply lie Burn Scorched Earth Wash Scrubbed Air Balancing elements Losing irrelevants In places No soap has ever been In places No physical eyes have seen Still, it’s not enough Some habits hang tough The flaws magnified Obsessing over scratches While missing the gaping wound Bleeding Pleading Seeing life ooze away Nothing left except to pray Elements stirred Returned to the point At which we started When these four were parted Burn Scorched Earth Wash Scrubbed Air Four-lorn, I am The fifth gets Short shrift The Lamb I am A Cross Free of Dross I am Yes, I truly am
