Best Divesting Poems
Living In IsolationMy son has lost his eyesight
And lacks mobility.
His doctors are confounded,
But I seek no pity.
There is much love in caring
Full time for those in need;
Hard work and sacrifices,
A focus to succeed.
My career was put on hold;
His life is in my hands.
There’s nothing more important;
I bow...

Slips the Blue Satine
“Slips the Blue Satine”
Desire bites
a sonnet ripped
where the voice projects
through glossy cherry bit lips
down a telephone line
wrapped around long legs
speaking soft words
welcoming you in like a quilled whip
Freedom bites
a too serious sonnet smiles
then progresses to apply
velveteen kisses where the lips
tie a loose...

For Straight White Boys OnlyHave you seen a Rockwell 1950's Lemonade Wars?
Two girls, both white of course,
dressed for YoungRepublican success
scowling at each other on a pristine deserted street
of the tree-lined rich suburban variety,
arms folded across their angry
relentless middle-class chests,
shoulders hunched for their LoseLose anger battle.
Each stands before her...

Tar and FeathersWe exist in space and time
invisible, unseen for who we
truly are exchanging
words for thoughts
never face-to-face
but touching just the same
vitriol tossed with the sweetness
fair barter for some form
of kind heaven exchanging
inclement weather
to the vestries of
each others’
netherworlds
divesting
tar and feathers

Written On Our HeartsSome issues,
some opportunities,
are written across great Western and Eastern cultures,
Northern and Southern economies,
Left and Right hemisphere structured minds,
breathing out- and in-forming lungs,
beating in- and then out-flowing hearts.
Flight toward freedom
and open-air healthy impressions,
and fight against racial oppression,
health depression,
patriarchal suppression,
competing capitalist corporate repression
Frighten by blaming
and anger by...

The Price of Pearls
"The Price of Pearls"
a strange time
just as a dream
to a place of strangeness
strangers
walking contretemps' fine lines
composing invisible footprints
away from life
into the loud silence within
The Chronicles of The Forgotten
lost in the mists
oars plunging grave tomes in
The Tombs of Sad Poetry
some gently...

This Thing Called WomanWhen in her best behavior:
she smiles so sweetly
and she loves so freely;
she speaks so softly
and she adores so dearly.
But if you are not on your guard:

If Time Is MoneyDoes your money derive from health-regenerative investments?
Well, what could that mean?
Do you make your money, honey,
with both light and dark co-arising memory
of midway love and peace intent,
avoiding anger-fear monoculturally competitive
dominant-power relationships,
and struggles against others,
against Earth,
choosing to struggle
in solidarity with cognitive-affective
chronic neuro-sexsensory dissonance?
Indicators of...

Life Beloving Dualdark Night
Some days and nights
I am terrorized by death,
cold silo ache-echoing fear,
claustrophobic breathless dark
barking inevitable factness and finality
of my decomposing mortality,
of history's posthumous demise,
post-humorous as hell.
What good is death
if it cannot at least invite eternal engagement?
Hopeful enrichment,
even some recreational opportunities
without concomitant health issues
soaring through our DNA...

Speech of TearsSpeech of Tears – Zamreen Zarook
Drops of tears from our purl conveys a lot,
Each an every shedding has a ballot,
By identifying the core, our hands should allot,
Because, some might be extremely as shallot.
Chipper and blissfulness gives you cool tears,
Whereas in console and divesting flow hot...

Silently I contemplate
Secretly I desire your essence
Cardiff is another land, a far away shore
Absent from my lust, yet craving still
Drowning within my self, I lay myself down
And
Divesting my thoughts into the winds
Victory is surviving with only lingering pains
Hieroglyphic messages of undying love I leave
Even...

Loving DefiancePunishing for revenge,
could this occur to natural systems
without capacity to imagine alternative futures?
Punishing others for their defiant behavior,
actions and words stronger than ignorantly ignoring,
bolder than merely angry with Other
and our defenseless selves
But how much more
to accurately measure fair consequences
for words of anger
compared to more...

The Call of the Grimoire
"The Call of the Grimoire"
when Exalibur was retrieved
from the rock, then foolishly
and irretrievably lost
in that dreadful battle most worthless
the imps encouraged
the once good Poesie folk
to jeer and throw pebbles
the Raven looked
on with the eyes of a wolf
black...

Another angel
hums towards

otherworldly
Xanadu
bathed in choirs
its mystery calls in
the golden aria
the zephyr light
glistens upwards
breath on a new breeze
to lift feathery wings
to soar past Leo moon
breaking through immortal
in time
destined perfection
the curtain never falls
divesting earth-bound silks
leaving behind in...

God Is Humor SensedLove wants nothing to do
with the everyday affairs of men.
Love's only intention
is to catch the lover!
