Best Gravitates Poems
ORIGINS
Winter’s shroud
Urges meditation
Adornment so scant only
Heaven’s light to cheer the lonely
In springtime though
Peeping buds awaken
Tiny origins thrust
Ease one’s contemplation
Tulips germinate
Sans nature’s later flow
And mind’s eye gravitates
To roiling roots below
Spring’s full blown riot
Must pose eyeful question
But a moment chime perhaps
Soul’s true direction
Is such splendid array
A vein traveling invitation
To some hidden house
Of God’s creation?
Alas belittling mortal speculation
Winter’s origin winter’s shroud –
She sleeps sleeps as needed
By all of nature’s crowd

CAFE TERRACE AT NIGHT (Van Gogh)
Orbital focus of assured kindness and hospitality
From the waitress in long white apron
Where time stands still for a moment,
Where the golden interior glow of the shelter
Gravitates under the canvas roof and
Permits a little topaz flavor to anoint the cobbled street,
Its dark forbidding geometry of the night,
Its silhouetted shapes of blackened houses
Whose dead windows suggest only a half life,
Whose clock tower suggests the running sands of time,
While dizzying stars, circular orbs of cold white,
Stare unblinking at the colors uncertain
In a neighbourhood of crumbling age,
On the pavement of uncertain difficult cobbles.
The café is not crowded but it is the sun
For the people orbiting its warmth.

I'm on top of the world looking in
But in the heavens it's no wind
I sit an meditate
While my soul gravitates
Million thoughts an a billion heartaches
My mind an heart communicates
Heart boiling with fire that won't condensate
Hard for me to compensate
But I still try to conjugate
I can't medicate
The pain an flames to evaporate
In my mind an heart that exasperates
My soul an heart wrath wants to eradicate
But I use what factuates
Hibernates
Inside as strengths to navigate

"kamikaze"
Isn’t it odd
how you always gravitate back to me,
I circle your mind like a helicopter
you watch me
like a moth
attracted to flames,
lit in succulent tender air waves
the others will state their absolute grievances,
it’s a force majeure for preconceived
unaccountable and unavoidable catastrophes
but We,
persist, We,
kamikaze
all artificial
and unintelligent,
other side of the wall
reasoning
bows,
to Love,
always
Love,
gravitates,
persists,
calls us all in
just as debutantes,
there We are,
our insides shining out,
illogically
semi-public
so un-upperclassed,
We are, barefeet dancing
under eye-glass boiling,
serious insects
quartered illogically
'neath microscope petri'd
kamikaze
Love
calls Us all in
debutantes
illogically
troped
“Juliet is the Sun!”,
espouses Romeo;
little does he know,
She is more
than a
soft black-holed velvet galaxy
She's a
Universe, diamond sharp
turned inside out

If I was ever brave enough
Pondering my feelings
What would I express to you
Could I let it all out
The depth and effect you have on me
Could I unravel it all
Make any sense of how I feel
Organise my thoughts
Engage your attention in me
Just so you get my groove
Its love I fear
So when you are near
I melt with the attraction
Emotion overwhelms
I only know how to run
Impressions from my past
Come forth to stamp a mark
That cautions me to stop
Not give in to my heart
Let you in or allow you to see
Give me the strength
Help me become brave
Push forward through the pain
That hinders me with restaint
Like barbwired in a cage
Nervous beats pounding
Distance myself
Layers of emotions
Like the evolving sea
I feel this within me
On the smooth shiny sand
You stand, guiding me in
Gently groping fragile rope
Pulling me toward the shore
To free me from my lonely raft
Finally a man who can help me see
Bringing me into the light
Shedding my old skin
All that has been locked away
Saturates me, I am finally free
Intensity that gravitates
Me to you, you to me
I am yours, you are mine
No longer do I run or hide
On the tip of my tongue
Embracing that I love you

trapped in the category of basic feelings, attesting to the functional regularity of the average human and demonstrating the crystal-clear predictability of their secular behavior, hatred, love, envy and jealousy consolidated practically all the advance and retreat of a race that eternally gravitates around its own navel, growing at the limit of the satisfaction of instincts and collapsing to the exact extent and at the time when it judges itself full and satiated, ignoring or comfortably avoiding understanding that both transcendence and evolution require the uprising of satiety, since this in everything resembles resignation and cowardice.

Prose
HARK, whilst thee singeth melody,
gauged labyrinths midst harmony,
ransom subconscious, placed thee free,
persuade possessed, heed thy purged glee,
beg reposed heart thy beating plea.
Themes prune labor to a degree,
song finesse thine assent of thee,
music quell sorts of thine decree
tune thy hearts, minds, souls let agree,
sensed voiced symphonic guarantee.
BEHOLD, tis fortes air, breathes content,
weighed thy heartbeats, tempos augment
impressed moods, thy amour be sent
meant lovers twain souls gleam, assent
thy course treats fair, thy issue spent.
Serendipitous time errant,
thine art grand resolve thy arms bent,
caressing untouched hearts invent
distant tests and trials, relent
thine lips, intimate kiss advent.
FORSAKE thine naught our past mistakes,
indulgence sought hearts for our sakes,
soften tones merged spirits partakes,
resumed innate instinct awakes,
forming trust fusion overtakes.
Suffer our ascent, farther takes
gift deeply, frothed measure inflates
ardor ties revive, blissful fates
balanced fragile hearts insulates,
assured embraced love gravitates.
HAIL youthful thoughts in elder heads,
man tests, steads boy within, joy spreads,
astir thee dreamers from their beds,
recite poems of their misreads,
dawn assails starred twilights to shreds.
Unspool thy sunrise; rays shone threads
day, strings purpled veins thy night's steads,
pump life ballads, hymnal bloodsheds
squander blues, swapping sparkled reds,
gloom bides thy shift whilst clung gold treads.
VIEW love gifts thee thy lamps, soft coats
pure sought breeze, mild trace, handful floats,
tis thy time spreads trend, loom moon draws
waft breeding told claims, thy hour thaws,
cares borne thy primes spills yon be culled.
Crowns thy verse brushed lobes set are lulled,
rouge mouths favor Cupid's pierced aim,
Cherubs lyre naught burnt Rome, thou blame
flamed trails, lust swells lovers tender
tinged warmed hearts, goeth thee, their splendor.

My future captures my imagination
as my past succumbs to memory.
I imagine winning this economic game
by competing with everyone
and continuing to win unsurpassed
to finally arrive at my goal
alone
no one else anywhere near my self-inflicted finish line,
behind locked doors within my own keyed-up competing mind.
Each day invites my reincarnation
of yesterday and each day before.
Each year reincarnates the prior year,
but now a year older,
and seen from diverse nuance perspectives.
Each life reincarnates prior DNA unfolding lives before,
but now a generation older,
seen from diverse sensory systems across species,
cultures,
languages,
degenerating and regenerating
decomposing and re-integrating.
Each new millennial generation invites resolving reincarnation,
as this trans-generation completes our global energy sharing network,
learning together how we each cooperate our hope for Earth,
for our children, and theirs, and theirs...
for ourselves,
regenerating this Common culture sensed and woven together
more synergetically than possible
on any pre-millennial Earth
Time gravitates toward my future images
and past rememberings
of co-arising confluent discernment,
as Earth's time flows backward
in personal memory
and orthodox
Primal ReGenerative
Original Intent and Designing
Tao Codex.
Universal Uniting Intelligence
rediscovering ourselves
within Earth's ribonucleic elliptical mirror.
Permacultured stories tell of time and place
when and where and why metaphysics and math
were children of polyculture-rooted spirit/breath
development and design,
poetry and scientific revolutions,
dynamic open system ecological evolution,
self- and other-regenerative economies,
self-reiterating bicameral identities,
and seasonal changes,
and day's light warming
over night's dark-dream warnings
of cognitive dissonance emerging
by suboptimizing speciating integrity
of ego within all-embracing supereco
of Left deductive logic and Right inductive analogic
of yang-1 with yin-0
regenerations past still unfolding in generating future
within this Presence gifting now.

Parallelismus Membrorum
Dark rain dripping
hands and feet poised ready
as danger appears
Two Kung Fu masters ~ trouble eye to eye
There would be no peace ~ the tension was high
Each one knew that their Kung Fu was the best
This deadly duel was the ultimate test
The earth gravitates
heat waves forming within a soul
Those watching could not see what each one thought
In this Art of War ~ composure was sought
Each knew that one move could bring their demise
Lightning strikes ~ deadly blows ~ such cloudy skies
Butterfly feet lifts
shaping sharpening soul daggers
whizz forward
Stalking in a circle ~ slow did they move
Gazes locked ~ hands cocked ~ this battle would prove
Who's fist style was the best ~ skills they did not lack
One said "Enough!" ~ he then launched his attack
Fist on flesh
electric luster crackles a visceral snarl
His hands and feet became punches and kicks
Vicious techniques in the rain did he pick
The attacked moved with grace out of harm's way
Within striking distance ~ response without delay
Phantom lightning strikes
circle within a circle
souls become blades
Raining hammers ~ the attacker felt the blows
So many angles ~ some struck high ~ some low
The one attacked moved in circles ~ here and there
The attacker was lost ~ his target seemed everywhere
What appeared aimless
was actually a glazed cover
Witnessed by all ~ the one attacked lost "her" hat
Long hair cascaded to "her" shoulders ~ all were staring at
A Kung Fu "Masteress" ~ they were taken by surprise
The attacker defeated by "she" ~ in a man's disguise
Lips curling one side
a demure little maiden
fixing eyes on him
A lesson was learned ~ never under estimate
It affects the outcome ~ it affects one's fate

i like spelling "i" in the small case
doesn't it make me humble?
yet, do i feel this way
ever?
humble pie ...
death, destruction, deplorable images
smash your loved one in the face
reality gravitates around
a death mask
feel your sternum ...
apply C.P.R.
and maybe your pericardium
becomes electric
again
telling you what to do
so that thoughts of originality
slip into dreams

Romanticism
energy claims through
veins jolt,
ridges on skin construct
my canvas gravitates thoughts,
thoughts are
always silent,
whispers never leak
my canvas is an angel
swooping to endure
ears stay alert
scanning all vibrations.
Hands steady
mind always
clinging
searching,judging
innate reasoning
my canvas is sensitive,
collecting all flying
motion
my canvas is never blank
sometimes meshing
sometimes clashing
I bleed energy,
although absorb enough to sustain.

Love like the stars
You are my bright star
illuminating my dark
If not for your love light shining
I would be lost inside my self
Your smile lights up my world
and it twinkles, as it falls into my soul
Your wonders,
are a multitude like the stars
connecting all the dots
that make me whole
You are love's constellation
my true consolation
My world turns
and gravitates towards
your love's light
Your love is like the stars
that give hope to lost souls
on stormy seas
May your love light keep shining
shining down on me.

“Drip, Drop”
Accentuates the spot,
Of my serenity
From an unusual location
As peek-through light
Gravitates
Toward my eye gates
To compliment
The scorching strip of light behind me
To compliment
The supplementary silence and darkness
Inside me
With acute,
“Drip, Drip, Drop, Drop, Drip, Drop”
Just enough,
To soothe
As the silence,
And darkness sings the blues
“Drip, Drop”
Adds the right touch of B-Bop
To keep me swingin’

Before the origin of the time-space region
God particles contained in the singularity
defined the core of the nascent creation
in timeless realms of nothingness nonentity.
Cosmogony unveils mystery of cosmic architecture
Big Bang in the singularity created the universe.
History of time going back circa 13 billion years
records how light and matter formed stellar mass.
Super-stars brighter than thousand suns of ours
in the limitless galaxies of the expanding universe,
at the end of their life time they all collapse,
black holes originate with high gravity mass.
Whatever falls in the hole on the event horizon
Can’t come out and escape, not even light.
Black hole becomes bigger by stellar accretion,
gravity waves travel from merged mass out of sight.
Time would run slow or even stop at event horizon
for in the black hole gravity dilates time by force.
All cosmic information would be lost or forgotten
in singularity core, replica of pre-universe cosmos.
If God, the creator, is the singularity invisible
everything created has the God particle within.
At the end of the life time the soul invincible
gravitates in the black hole, resides there unseen.
