Best Conditioned Poems

A soul conditioned to cry
gives up when trust falls apart.
And no longer wants to try
to capture another's heart.

Finding fear blocking its way,
love derails, jumping off track.
And silently slips away,
never to find its way back.

Gambling that love is real;
you pray time won't call your bluff.
For pain's...

Well all of my socks have found a hole
My wife says it's there so my toe can grow
Now I don't know if this is true
But if it is, I need a hole in my shoe

When I walk around, it looks like a snail
Poking his head...

drenched in memories of sweat
cooling the fear of attack and harm
summer is a bliss of warmth

a dream come to erase the pour
of tears to dew the morning grass
as for ever bare foot the sensation to be alive....

Love’s like a flower; it needs room
to grow within the heart and soul.
And immature dreams cannot bloom
when doubt levies a heavy toll.

When passion's flame gets doused by tears,
Hope overrides being cautious.
Yet, as time slowly fuels fears,
anxiety leaves you nauseous.

Numb to the hurt that never stops;
you...

how does it feel to kill like this?
deny the truth you read from experiencing any happiness?
how does it feel to deny life any of its own blessings
but rub happiness in my face at your pity party i want over?...

My body is not conditioned in a strong and fit way. It’s conditioned to do.
I am conditioned to walk away.
To walk away from the forest, the ocean, and the wild, to return to the indoors.
I’m conditioned to return indoors even if I can’t breathe
Eve if...

every ism

binding us

This cold scheduled grey life 
Has me so on point and on task
The tunnel vision is nauseating 
The horse blinders debilitating 
Want for what, wish for who 
An existence built to hypnotize
Time coerced me into being  
Unapologetically institutionalized

Sans fear and desire, we are free
Unfettered, unbound and carefree
Save God's grace, what's there to aspire
We are free, sans fear and desire

Earth life's a school, we're here to learn
With conscience as guide, let's discern
Embrace of love’s the only rule
We're here to learn, earth life's a...

Villanelle : Doubt not who is Master of your conditioned Fate

Doubt not who is Master of your conditioned Fate
Ask only why your actions lead down the wrong path
All else makes for doubt doubt only if Fate's innate

Neither Past nor Future time exist inchoate
All and everything's...

Futile is striving, unless we are clear
about who we are and purpose of life,
that we may then act without any fear,
full of joy and laughter, always bliss rife,
pulsations of love, to our heart held dear.

Discarding then, each conditioned belief,
relying neither on senses nor mind,
negating ephemeral...

(“Before the Door”, 2023, original encaustic)

Being In Context

Open awareness 
Conditioned mind
Two halves of a whole

Like a container and its contents
A sky and its clouds
A heart and its longings

An irreconcilable duality? 
Or simply
The gateway to unconditional love
