Best Divesting Poems


Premium Member Living In Isolation
My 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”



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...

Premium Member For Straight White Boys Only
Have 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...

Premium Member Tar and Feathers
We 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

Premium Member Written On Our Hearts
Some 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"



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 Woman
When 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:

Premium Member If Time Is Money
Does 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...

Premium Member 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 Tears
Speech 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...

Premium Member Loving Defiance
Punishing 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" 


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

"Oratorio" 

Another angel
hums towards 
another 

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...

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

Rumi

God wants nothing to do
with the routine affairs of men,
God's only intention
is to catch the lover's attention!

I wonder if Freud's id transfigured as a sociopathic burning bush
because Freud was drawn...
