Adventurously Poems


Premium MemberOdyssey

My unquenchable thirst for returning to my homeland
Reuniting with the sacrosanct sole soul of my source
The thought of the joy of being with the angelic band
Sooth each nerve of my feet and reinforce their cautious course.

My wars, from the time of my entry into this landscape
Have not been for mere laurels, though glory and wisdom won.
Nor from virtuous thoughts, words, and deeds, I tried to escape.
Courage and commitment, in me, like blood and veins are spun.

Gods Zeus, Hermes; goddesses Athena and Calypso
Angels and powers of the galaxies and constellations
All  kinetic synergies of the universe, now know
This sage-like postulant's optimism-filled palpitations

Adventurously high is each step of my odyssey.
The Odysseus in me moves me meticulously.

Humanity's Story

Once upon a time, 
When love knew –
No bounds and shackles
We dwelt in Eden

Then, the genesis of the ego
Spewed wide open Pandora’s Box
And its burdens and horrors
All, adventurously, flew forth

Now all humanity is in wake 
Of a teardrop they await
Straight from heaven’s gates
Pondering over the Lord’s grace

But lead and sulphur,
Stirred in a lake – do burn
Where all hell is unleashed
Upon the earth from beneath.

Premium MemberPerennial Adventure

Advent,
older, and more pervasive, than Christmas
I presume.

Why so?

Advent's lack of glaring light
feels more of an invite
to prepare for winter's new year planning
by reviewing what went toxically wrong
and occasionally 
mysteriously right.

A time not yet for sorting ecstatic harvest seeds
of early year insight
but deeper hibernating
into all not not quite entirely wrong potentials,
where cooperative perennial images delight
while capital's mortal reasoning
remains logistically wrong,
a song
too soon sadly sung
in nihilistic
dissonant keys
of double-binding night,
approaching terrorizing fright
vigorously denied
before adventurously accepting
heuristic gains of ultra-violet bright

Into Advent darkness
recomposing next year's nurture lights,
ecologically learned evolving cycles
of nutrition
theologically deep revolutionary recycles
speaking healthy wealth of Advent's
annual 2020 resolutions.

Abandon Dead Trails And Thy Sybarite Lust

If Nature's earthen-fires thy bosom holds
and thy heart's countenance mind's eye thus sees;
life serves best those adventurously bold,
walking worn paths, resting under its trees.

Seek in truth the great beauty God has made
the opulence of colors in blue skies;
let not dark, thy human empathy degrade
to sorrows that in turn, love's joys deny.

Instead, denude kings of their purple cloaks
and the golden castles they have stolen;
take time to visit regale forest oaks,
ride the rapids of rivers swift and swollen.

Abandon dead trails, thy Sybarite lusts
in Nature's awe, seeking heart there adjusts.

Horse Would Advance and Prance

Horse Would Advance and Prance

Horse adventurously through woods did advance;
Was in handsome posture  when it would prance;
In big crowd,
Stood proud;
Apparently appeared to have put me into a trance.

Stuck

Stuck
Help me
I cannot move
I have forgotten your name

Stuck
With no escape
Only this abjectness
And the entirety of my pain

Stuck
But I have a plan
I will overwhelm my body with oxys
Then barf the life right out

Stuck
Now; in the confinements
Of a failed institution
Nowhere to go-
My only choice
Was to travel adventurously 
Down to
The furthest extent of
My viciously evolving thoughts

Palindrome

Imagine all People
Rich or Poor
Adventurously wandering for love
Hopeful upon search and rescue
Only time
-Stops-
Time only
Rescue and search upon hopeful
Love for wandering adventurously
Poor or Rich
People all Imagine
