Best Constrictions Poems
Fanciful ThoughtsIs it our age or present circumstances
that see childlike eyes grow dim
or is it living within our reality years
that lend whimsical thoughts so slim
If one could ride the notes in play
through a child’s imagination
One could laugh and dance anew
around each magical creation
Into the cosmos we...

Follow MeA cumulonimbus cloud enveloped my sky,
Threatening to rain down a torrent of pain.
An ocean of commotion swirled in my brain.
My attempts to bandage the wounds turned in vain.
I saw only the receding vistas of light,
And night prowling like a stealthy thief.
The past chilled my mind...

Sacred SpacemakingDear Neighbors,
community co-investors,
sharing an outdoor green riverside Commons
and an indoor
historical CommonSpace
Both, and all, sacred
to panentheistic me
and probably more mundanely secular
to monoculturing LeftBrain dominant
verbally rationalistic
you
And yet, co-relational lives of thought
and feeling always matter
to cooperative
effective communication resilience
through sustainable community design
Relentlessly curious
and not the least judgmental
about who eats...

Parallelismus Membrorum
Arjuna, 21st CenturyTrappe within my skin,
trapped within my life.
I live each day within
the same parameters
of responsibility.
I do right
no matter what.
I've done wrong
believing it was right.
Such constrictions,
such borders,
leave me no outs,
no excuses.
I want to explode,
but suspect implosion
will be my lot.
Where do I get...

Smooth CriminalThrow rocks
hide the hand
My mission is to
stop your masterplan
Throw rocks
hide the hand
Soon you'll be
under my command
I'm the smooth criminal with his
thieving plot
So smooth and beguiling like a
cunning fox
You don't see me, the real me
If you could, you would flee
You see, I often work when...

Just a WomanWhen a woman is a woman
Her hair color isn’t from a box
There are no hair dyes
Her nails are not acrylic or painted
There are no manicures
Her lips are their own shade of pink
There is no makeup
Her skin is golden from the sun
There...

GeometricityFloating freely on the divine wind blowing from within
a cosmic jack in the box unleashed from it's human tin
my mind shed the constrictions of mortal flesh and skin
as a journey through consciousness did begin.
The morphing, textural layers of realities fabric
woven before me to make something...

The Dark and Darkness The light no longer exist
Only the dark and darkness is all I see
Deep in this under tow or psychotic shade
I sit with the obscurity that wicked made
to what end
Overlooked by veil or disguise
a spotlight in reprise
this ominous dark curtain drop
far beyond center...

Oh, sweetheart don't cry so much,
I promise you're loved and needed,

She will stand by you all through...

Project Pegasus Ask the UsaLets hijack project pegasus and fly to Mars,
To build a new life out amongst the stars.
Religion and governance can stay on earth,
Structured society will be given, the widest berth.
Free from all these constrictions placed upon us,
When the sun is setting, I might see Uranus.
I'm off...

Dramatic Monologue
Time and TravelAutomobile runs down the highway
It ends
It had no beginning to begin with
So that makes sense
As time continues on
World keeps moving nowhere special
There is plenty of fuel left in the chamber
OK!... so it's a tank
The pedal is floored so something is missing
No road laid out before...

Shore Where Life Is Thrivingshore where life is thriving
Shore where life is thriving
Refresh us once again
Dunes where winds are blowing
That cleans its sands away
Grows eternal within its lines
Above the stars still shine
Where active minds do dwell
And rest when need to rest
From the self in its remissions
Imparted shores within
We...
