Kids Were Playing
Kids were playing outside, in the playground.
Swing, slide, sandbox and Mary-go-round.

One was sitting inside, with bottle in one hand.
Thought of things that will never be comprehended.
Paper notes on the table, sketches of ideas.
Scrambled, messy, illogical, the Arcadia.
Revolver in the other hand, with bullets that wisely...

Premium Member A Helen Keller Kyrielle - Hk
When Helen Keller was a child,
both deaf and blind, she acted wild
until her heart was helped to melt.
Seen or not, beauty must be felt.

Sweet sights and sounds she knew not of.
She barely comprehended love.
In youth, a bad hand she’d been dealt.
Seen or not, beauty must...

Life Is
Life is a long walk,
The path meanders,
The path undulates.

Life is a sequence of doors,
They open of their own accord,
Until the final closure.

Life is a book,
Ancient and voluminous,
No one has read to its end.

Life is a hill,
Our purpose makes us climb,
Our ambition pushes us further.

Life is...

Premium Member The Ballad of Daphne and Jack, the Sequel
Gather 'round me, my dears,
I'll continue the tale
Of a princess and her pirate lover.
Of her crown unencumbered,
They pillaged and plundered
As they wandered the seven seas over.

Crimes maritime were elating
And invigorating
'til Jack noticed a bulge in her tummy.
The princess first was offended,
But then she comprehended
He would...

Premium Member Ice On My Igloo
Ice on my igloo
  roads frosted over
Cursed, cutting cadaverous cold 
  deathly chill from Calais to Dover

Thought it was nippy
  but my fingers are numb
Arctic algidity all around
  winds whistle, envelop my town

Why must we endure
  gelid, glacial Siberian air
Is...

Premium Member Bible Thoughts
God creates effortlessly, Himself medium, substance-source almighty – nothing can rub, manifest resistance to His Will -- 

God rested. Think not of fatigue...nor of a project completed, written in stone unchangeable, for God’s complete-perfect also allows for change-perfect. Think more in terms of the rests...

Premium Member Musing
She is sitting idle, pondering about life, 
thinking the aim is not just to survive.

Trying hard to follow the theory,
'live every moment and don't worry.'

She thought doing this would be very easy, 
thus judged those who were not exemplary.

But realized, like money, success doesn't grow...

Premium Member Two Wrongs Against a Right
If your story
and history
or herstory,
is wrong,

If wrong is negative,
If right is positive,

When do two historic
two cultural
two personal
two political
two familial
wrongs make it right,
just as double negatives equal a positive?

Perhaps when this double-negative shy
not yang and not yin,
playing win/win games 
of Taoist paradox 
develops bilateral appositions, 
crown/root...

Premium Member Healthy Politics, and Sex, and Religion
I hope I know what is healthy sex,
in an experiential kind of way,
and a trans-biblical swell known sway,
and I can imagine a world with healthier,
more cooperative, politically empowering days,
but I am clueless about healthy religion,
which most of my friends would claim is an oxymoron,
like military...

"GOD’S Tears Returned"



You were smaller than a particle in a Tear Drop 
when you first arrived, you returned.
The size of a miniscule of a fraction not yet
Comprehended in the power of Light
In the refraction of your mother’s and father’s eyes
LIGHT is LOVE
LOVE is LIGHT
Somewhere from...

Premium Member Perfect Love, Optimal Life
Perfect love is perfection,
it is rare,
if such love exists at all
it must thrive beyond boundaries of my own experience
either receiving,
or giving.

Could this perfection of synergetic harmony and confluence
we have grown to love as love itself
become discovered in and through another
by anyone other than a person,
