Premium Member Poetic Stream
When angels took my love in dawn's white light, I wallowed in the wake of fate gone wrong; too weak to fight my demons in the night, too numb to know the gift that was her song. Like brittle leaves left dying in a field I longed to rise on autumn's gusty breeze. Without the...

Premium Member Beach Life Trilonnet
That rolling road of the ocean propelling you into daydreams. I love beach life more everyday. Skin smooth with coconut lotion, that’s truly as luxe as it seems. Grinning at the shoreline you stay. Falling into such devotion faces are lifted by sunbeams. Heat’s fleeting, much to my dismay. Charged current in constant motion, glitter on the turquoise tide gleams. Race the mavericks...

Blessed witness Come to me my child Father says to me in a still voice You're my mine beloved I created you from heaven Sent you down to earth Through a spiritual tunnel Grew within a womb of your mother Father fertile the egg of mama You'll incubate inside mother's womb Until you emerge Spirit first encased in flesh Before during and after, past, present...

Premium Member Of Saltpeter and Soul
A line like serpent coiled round the saltpeter cart Hoping to purchase health and healing, or Gunfire spark The merchant—a vendor of virtue of vice His ware—the white wonder of alchemical craft A dance of light and dark He brokers that which bridges life and death The sales of arms secretly sent for alms... Betwixt his quiet, a question mark ...

JERICHO AWAKENING Deception has always been A strategy and ally of injustice; Veiling its ruthless deeds, And shifting attention From aged-old atrocities, While living and percolating Behind invisible Jericho walls:- Let not the reality Of new Jericho borders Blind and deceive us:- Legislative freedom and unity For so-called refugees, Remain at hand, and Our struggle to be masters Of ourselves continues; We being caged and considered Refugees in this, our...

Theater Of life
Theater Of Life We met as strangers stranded in the park, Lonely as the night - Wandering in wonder, will the train surface? 1:35am she thought to provide me warmth Open arms, I drowned beneath her chest. We sang, imitating the birds in the far away forest, The wind sang along in uniformity, blended we thought! Utopia was now newly found home,...

Weight That Thought Me
I carried stones inside my chest, Each one a name I could not speak. They built a wall beneath my breast, A fortress made of worn-out ache. I carried rivers in my veins, The floods of all I held too long. They carved their maps through years of strain, A quiet, slow, unspoken song. I carried winters in my bones, The weight of every...

Premium Member Fascism or Psychology?
Fascism or Psychology? Psychology. I am talking about only one. Fascism. Radical, authoritarian Nazism. Can psychology be dangerous? Of course. What is the purpose of psychology? What? (I am talking about one kind of psychology.) Hmm. There are a few. I am talking about one. What is that? Gaining the power of consciousness. Hmm. Exactly, taking control of the humans. So people don’t have...

Premium Member Death to Life in Him
Death is to be my great enemy For in living I am to be The friend of life, and put to death That force that longs to steal my breath— Away! — away that hallowed hollow grave My ally, the stone that bears my name The one, oh would that I could fill That hole, that bowl of earth To swallow me down...
