Best Disenchanting Poems

The Hands of Time


The hands of time stand eerie still
Where hearts chamber a cagey chill,
And whispers warn of shadows deep
With eyes that strain as shower’s sweep,
The sands of time a formless fill.

Disenchanting dreams pave their will
Seconds follow a timely till,
While the dormant lie counting sheep,
The...

He's been struggling with depression,
She said, so then have I.

It's our bad news
that competing depressions
breed more contagiously
than our cooperation feeds happiness.

Yet our good news grows:
Depression and positive impression
are equally contagious passions
pastimes
eruptions into changing flowstreams of consciousness,
evolving communal conscientiousness,
naked co-relational intention,
interdependent awareness,
dawning enchantment with disenchanting dusky...

Poverty: 
Unusually limited access
to health,
nutritional poetry,
liturgical dance,
and positive-restorative energy resources--

The four WealthFaces of liberal love.

Poverty of Health derives from
and heads toward:
Win/Lose survival pressures,
crisis,
abscessed longing for peace revolutions,
NowTimed therapeutic resolutions,
HereSpaced restorations of democratic access
to healthy non-institutions.

Health/Pathology Resources derive from
and head toward:
An incarcerating,
retributive short-term fix against Fear
OR/AND
Sanctuary...

There's no doubt, by reason, my reason's in doubt
I stayed up all night 'til my demons came out

I let my indulgence seep into my skin
And, looked for Deception to hide my heart in

Yet, selling my sorrow is all that I'd known
In All My Intention, my...

UNPLEASANT ONES

Money obligations:
 Parking tickets, mortgage, credit cards
All sorts of insurance: 
Life, car, house,  dental and health
Are overbearing and unmentionable 
Disenchanting, unpleasant ones
Crying out loud:  “Till death do us part”
Assets have corresponding dues
Unavoidable liabilities, 
Valid or invalid reasons
Are unthinkable!
It entail fines and penalties
The...

To Husserl's phenomena,
enchanting and disenchanting
healthy and pathological
and all colors in-between,
We might remedially add relationships,
cooperative and competitive
and all hues and cries in-between

To play our LeftEgo with Right Sacred EcoTribe
DNA-enscribing
Wins for convex phenomena
and Wins for concave ecstatic relationships,
Win/Lose in-between wu wei,
and Lose/Lose
not not
dualdark double-phenomenology
inside/outside polynomially irrational
pathological climate...

Thine distorted reflection rippled 
within rain maker's pool 
   upon a midnight clear
full moonlight sonata 
   flooded shallow abyss, 
cleaved fractal structures of silence 
reverberating deathly hallow from 'ere
to infinity, whence magic wand 
whipped out from 
   whereabouts unknown...

Speak not ill of competition,
Tell not happily of his sin.
Inform me of your position.
I then can vote the best to win.

When I listen to your ranting.
It  pains me so, grosses me out.
Find your lies so disenchanting,
They are no truer when you shout.

November will be...

What's the problem with homelessness,
other than the violence from which it comes
and toward which it further travels?

Why not ignore 
and grow tolerance
for the inevitability of caravans
of sojourners
on pilgrimage
toward mirages
of Uniting Promised Lands?

I have more immediately pressing
everyday problems--
trimming my nails,
drying the laundry
on a rainy non-clothesline day,
raking...

An errant breeze blew hair across my cheek
and suddenly my tears flowed as I recalled
how we once loved. A love which I still seek.
Is it my heart or my vanity that is appalled?

How I've struggled to repress a fervent desire
to call or text him each...

Most effective teachers
are perpetually curious students.

Most accomplished chefs
have voracious appetites
for nutritional taste
and nurturing fragrance.

Most resilient lovers of here and now life
have known and felt hate and anger
for what they were and are not
what they could want themselves to become
cooperative truth and beauty passionately enough.

Most astute...

Where would my reason come from?
My purpose for rising at dawn – for risking my heart,
For giving a part of my smile, a part of my light…

Where would I go when I want to show?
My thoughts on the page, my thoughts of love and faith,
The...

So, like I said
awhile ago,
I'm reading until totally dead
"Systems Thinking for Social Change."

With four primal turning and returning seasons
of natural yet spiritual developments
between dusk of where we disenchantedly are,
and dawn of where we would become re-enchanted
cooperatively together.

Unfortunately,
I cannot see past systemic Stage Zero
Notice resilient integrity

The opposite
of egocentric perpetrator
is ecofeminist victim

The opposite
of conservative perpetrators of Win/Lose retribution
are liberating wounds of WinWin absorption
enchanting green restorations by mindful day,
ultra-nonviolet by not not night.

Another way of thinking about my personal manifest destiny
and our manifest destiny as a community,
as a people,
as an ecotherapeutic species,
is...

MY WAY

I see reflections of my life, how I arrived
at this stage of my telling life, the phase I thrive.

Was a curious child with too many questions
that I kept to myself from my keen attention

for inquiries from a child were not welcoming.
Was hard to conform...
