Best Intrinsically Poems
Tale of a Former Black SheepFor years I wore
your shame as my own
and lived unknown
in terror of being seen
like a leper
self-quarantined
intrinsically unclean
Your neglect
became to me
my insignificance
undeserving of your glance
Your abuse
became to me
my fault and utter blame
my soiled but rightful name
Your abandonment
to me
was my unworthiness
unfit and valueless
'Til this layered shame...

In these times of...

LondonLondon
The tour of London begins
In the streets of my mind,
Through past and present
Intrinsically entwined,
Through people and places
It's heart we will find,
Through fellow travellers

You Are So BeautifulSoft notes of a clarinet playing
‘You are so beautiful’, stirs memories
of holding hands and making plans
in the dimly lit atmosphere, so close,
the scent of your after shave
left me breathless for a moment.
My long locks softly wrapped themselves
around the scarlet lei you bestowed around
my...

Oh My LoveOh my love, we joyously still share it all.
We still laugh over the silliest things...
We only cry occasionally during
A sentimental movie. We need not cry
Because life has instilled a tolerance for
Loss and pain that tears can't bridge.
We behold each other without a gaze
Yet our...

Being HumanBEING HUMAN
Benevolent but bedeviled by his demons
Eternally yearning for salvation yet
Intrinsically entangled in a web of self-delusion
Neither able to adopt the earth nor earn the heaven
Garnering good deeds and scattering to the winds;
Human with beastly instincts; godly with an evil streak
Universally perceptive but is narcissist...

My Soft CurtainWhat I don't know; exactly what you expect to find
It matters not; I leave authenticity behind
Low, for all of the beautiful light that falls on me
Lonesome I can not help but weep; intrinsically,
Outside sadness; many rings inside internally
Woeful my grove; but it is spectacular to...

How Does One CompeteHow does one compete with a Frost or a Keats,
a Dickinson or Whitman for words,
how can we say in our language today
what we feel within has been stirred.
Like those in our past who intrinsically grasped
the secrets to living and more,
their visions, dreams, and ideas...

Family TherapyFeminist ecotherapists,
deeply immersed in polycultural ecology,
a systematic teleology of cooperative nutrition economics,
remain rarely flushed out from their safe spots.
A self-isolating,
often eremitic,
subspecies,
with shamanic nature-as-spirit tendencies,
our most articulate mentors often wander off
to pray for,
breathe and suffer and dance and sing
with Earth and all Her multiculturing species and...

2020 RevolutionNumbers, numerals,
like words,
combinations of letters,
mean something,
sometimes more secular,
sometimes more sacred ecological.
Numerals and letters share sacred iconic human-intelligence root systems
within a bicameral ecology of mind-body nonduality,
both RightBrain matriarchal empowering flow of integrity (Czikszentmihalyi)
and LeftBrain patriarchal Yang deductive empowered language
of ecological-bilateral numerals (B. Fuller).
Numbers,

Babys First Breath
Down, down, down she came
Into her mother’s waiting womb;
From out of the dark-bright sky above, knowing
Intrinsically what to do.
Find her place, find her place, retrace
Her steps once more;
Down from the blue and black into
Another life of rich or poor.
Earth bound, earth bound,
Beautifully bound like...

Better Than the Best of All DreamsI dreamed of a night for many years
Wandering far from home;
When I could stand and stare at the stars
Silently, on my own.
Head uplifted, eyes open wide;
Points of light eternal
Racing through darkness
Into my eyes.
Desiring nothing
More than this:
To gaze upon the universe
And know its kiss…
Sweet upon...

Victories For LoveThe problem of military reactions
to territorial control issues
is not merely that violence breeds further strategic development
of violence,
although this is no small,
nor amoral,
concern.
This primal problem of militarism by historic default
is that it is an intrinsically violent chapter
in the Big RedBook of Capitalism,
rooted in God created...

Keeping America SafeA prayer for God to bless NativeAmericans
is also a reminder of traditional political mindfulness,
basic awareness of our economic investments in security.
No one "keeps" this confederation of uniting states
safe with alien immigrants
unless we invite them.
Second, prayers for sustaining safety assume the U.S. is safe now,
and/or implies...
