Best Balanced Poems

I'm a balanced individual
I have a chip on both my shoulders,  
And they are getting bigger
As each year I grow older.

I seem to begrudge the young their youth
It's just plain jealousy,
I envy all their years ahead,
So many more than me.

I hate it that my...

LIFE 
incessant STREAM 
HOT or COLD 
SOLD or UNSOLD 
in-NAME or de-FAME 
side by side or beyond 
a mysterious GAME!

Imperfection is the mirror of perfection;
opposites reveal each other.
Rumi (M Mafi translation)

Dissonance is the non-polynomial mirror of confluence;
opposites unveil each other.

Ego-suffering grows the anti-relational mirror for eco-optimization;
opposites reveal each other.

Past economic competition grows the crystal mirror 
for future's ecological cooperation;
opposites unveil each other.

Anti-matter is the...

The message they mete out is strong
It's cooked at the top but smells wrong
This cursed wurst to eat 
Slice of life that looks neat  
A baloney treat for the throng...

A Well Balanced Beer

A well-balanced beer may cost this gal dearly
It’s a cabaret act the tax guys said clearly
They caught her “act” in a bar late one night
And the way she poured beer they said was “all right!”
She would balance a glass, sometimes 3, sometimes...

A Much More Balanced Me

*

All animals all have the ability,
to feel all other animals' positive or negative energy.
I believe that I have this ability also somewhat to some degree,
given all of my constant animal company.
I am their Alpha, they follow, I lead,
but I communicate in...

Air, Water, Fire, Earth and Skies engage
So intimate to guard nature’s visage
Intact, and to deliver the sacred message
Of hoarding her elements from damage.
To the foggy and forlorn firmament 
Do the dark heralds of showers ascent;
Heavy hail shall soon break and descent 
On swollen tides, beach...

until you send for me
until you see
me
walking on egg shells
one whisper away 
from this glass house
crashing down
until you re-plant 
me
and until you
re-anchor me, re-center me
h---, just re-write a new ending for me

Balanced
Breathing in 
Breathing out
No thoughts come in
No thoughts come out

Focusing on breathing
Is all that’s required

Crystal clear is my mind
Peaceful is my soul
Happy is my heart...

I gave you my hands and my feet
my dick

something with them
and what you did my Lord
you put me back on!?

stage
rationality
dreaming
location
wtf!?

and all that's left....

Jerking Jerusalem's journey,  
Jogging jokes' jubilation joyfully....

My imaginary friend isn’t doing so well
Or, do I refer to myself.  It’s tricky as Hell
Here I am, Pacing, retracing and contemplating
Alternating amongst the wreckage, my heart is racing
Now I’m face down, comatose, waiting
For the glory, the mercy, an ounce of sympathy
An outreached hand...

you are the small town boy to my raging city girl, 

the quiet chirping of the crickets to the everlasting hum of the train right outside my window. 

you remind me of running in the grass at night, catching fireflies, 
of coming home with grass-stained...

****************

touched by a zephyr
evoked memories your breath
warm summer days
-
finding the balance
on a hot sunshiny day
dappled shadows
-
my garden bench
i share with untidy guests
bird droppings sun baked
-
summer storm threatens
yet not a cloud in the sky
wise are the insects
-
a distant rumble
the summer storm passed us by
wildlife exploded
-
ere the...
