Premium Member A Mother Earth Etc
In the whisper of a moonlight stream I heard her sigh or so I thought, 
in the rustle of a mottled deer in oak pine forests I heard her weep or thought I did,
or maybe laugh when flitting brightly over jagged rocks.
Upon the silver tides...

I sometimes sit and ponder,
What is over yonder.
When I get to yonder,
I sometimes sit and ponder,
As to what is over yonder.
When I get to yonder,
I sometimes sit and ponder
As to what is over yonder___

Premium Member Because I'M Tired of Metaphors, Etc
Summer boulder-boots wear my thoughts
Thoughts warmed by winter coat maligned in poison oak
With an indelicate left-breast
Pocket inscription stating the obvious
 “Boys Don’t Cry” 
(Simply put and rich in depth, obviously) 
All together, together all.  
All together one we go
Neurotically traipsing unreceptive asphalt

Summer boulder-boots wear...

Premium Member Backyard Politics of Love, Etc
By now this self-analytical Left mindbody lens grows thin
imagining dualistic cultural dominance,
logically sciencing,
rationally defaulting to either-or assumptions
supposedly proving either x or y
does notnot also equal x + y = (0)-squared
fractally regenerative temporal health-balance
unfolding c(+) + c(-,-)
bilaterally bicameral delicious eco-lovely light.

Which seems to merge natural with...

And Since You Know You Cannot See Yourself Etc: Julius Caesar
QUOTATION
And since you know you cannot see yourself,
so well as by reflection, I, your glass,
will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of.   Julius Caesar Act 1

As you cannot see what I see
Just like a...

Etc.
Espacios sin relleno
En entrañas de pez
En vuelo
Las mascotas del loquero
Fluyendo en boceto


Moldeándose en aros
Hacia sus adentros
Hojas espirales 
Cucharas de estanque
Fluyendo en vacío
Parvada de nidos


Mantel extendido
Totalidad
Y triangulados anillos
De taciturnos cajones
A un etcétera bien pulido...

Premium Member Livingston Lowes Phrasis Upon the Seashore Etc- Recited
UPON THE SEASHORE
Off the blue Nantucket
music of laguid hours,emerges
from the labyrinth,delicate
snail-horn perceptions of beauty,
thronging this world of sensible
things.Stirred by majesty,soft
flowing surging impressions
where sea meets sky.Infinite
purples,fragments of rainbow
gleam in the spindrift,sensuous 
lively,lovely,many-hued restless
gossamer,abysm of time in a
dancing throng,slow recurrent
the rhythm of the sea,sifting the
illusion upon a...

Mandela Mystique Etc In Africa
I
Madiba, you inspired this world  like never before
An African George Washington & Lumumba
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela of South Africa
Yet crossing borders, bashing down walls
Smiling, beaming, with good words for all

II
Then you said, many blacks were executed
In apartheid South Africa, "No more!"
That opened the gates to...

Pre Golden Globes, Oskars, Grammies, Etc
All them famous, very gorgeous
Shining knights and splendid damsels
Some of them in big distress…

Showing dresses, shoes, toxedos
Bow ties and current trends…

All them talking, saying nothing 
That pertains to common folk…
Everyday diurnal struggles…

Still amusing and worth watching
Fascinating gorgeous damsels…
Shining knights in bow ties…...

From My Journal: Sunset, Etc
:1/09/2001

"I love sunset," you said

I hear hopes 
and the whole lot on my dining table 
while chewing breakfast 
I sing my childhood songs 

:31/10/2002

before sun is erased by night hands
my mother turn on all  the lamp-eyes 
in the kitchen, verandah and guest room

Premium Member Living With Love and Depression, Etc
I've great news for the world! You are free to choose either!
Depression's your flavor? Then go right ahead
And embrace the depression that means so much to you,
But loved or depressed still someday you'll be dead.

Now to some, that's depressing, to others quite hopeful, 
For life...

A kid starts to whine
When you sit down to dine
In a restaurant costing big money.
Whether he's yours or theirs,
Quite everyone stares
And not one of them thinks it is funny....

Resist the Devil and He Shall Flee From You James 4:7-12 Etc
"Resist the devil and he shall flee from you." James 4:7-12***

Part of the Lord's prayer reads," And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil: for thine is the kingdom and the power, and the
glory forever." Mathew 6:13***

But all of those promises are contingent...

There was a boy, Who played all day.
His name was Jam, He laughed all the way.
Sometimes sad, But others glad.
Sometimes he had, But was very mad.
Until he viewed, A young man stealing a toy.
Jam spoke aloud,
Yelling come play with me, Young man.
The young...
