Best Iterations Poems


Premium Member The Infinite
no use dwelling on recent past
not much here really long lasts
rocks, planets, asteroids and stars
this existence briefly is ours
all soon becoming grist for change
eternity moves out of range

there was never a beginning 
there is no definitive end
slow evolving onward spinning
the infinite only extends

beyond interstellar foundations
the...

Premium Member My First Instrument
"My First Instrument"
Bassoon baby so special to me
The first thing I really took care of 
Instrumental to my growth
I cleaned it every day 

Woodwind wonder
Of stained sycamore maple 
A glossy fine finish
For someone just beginning

Sleeping with my jazz filled fantasies
I was a double reed romantic...

RE: Continuing RedMeat Only,
much less any Green Leafy Salads

Abraham Lincoln thought it politically unhealthy,
and probably economically unwise,
to disinvest his Cabinet,
much less his entire Constitutionally incorporated population,
from ecopolitical diversity.

What is politically healthy,
probably not an all RedMeat Republican UberConservative Cabinet,
yet this may be what your own WhiteDaddy...

Premium Member curse of quiet -
if you can not speak, hear ...

I am no better than you -
we are turning inward en masse
light gleams from the mountaintops and steeples
warning us with dread, yet our swirling head is never fully fed
the beast, reticent as death, wastes breath on blame

it screams without...

Parts Unknown
Inside a woman’s head is a dangerous place.
They’ll be many iterations for them to save face.
They’ll see another woman’s lipstick on the rim of a cup.
Which was Gin and Ruby Red that you just turned up.

They will beef and squabble, erasing any ********.
Then, blame it...

Premium Member Certain Days
On certain days, I’m moved only by a tailwind,
The breathing of the sky, the cadence of my heart.
On special days, I know only the imagined,
The sanguine waltz cascading from the start. 

Some days, I just inhale the spice of powder earth,
The emanations of every life...

Premium Member Who I Am Right Now
Who are you?
he asked perpetually, patiently
because I invited him to do so
until our time for contented me
to discover his diversely integrated/fragmented identities,
empowerment and disempowerment stories,
critical acting
and singing
and dancing
and warring
and terrorizing
and confronting events
right now,
and in past network iterations
and throughout future synergetic neural regenerations
of lifeline transgenerational memory.

Premium Member Power: Love V Whatever
What might it take for love to conquer anger
fear
hate?

How is holistic compassion already more contagious than a-holistic self-hatred,
we-hatred?

There is more than one way to hear a**holistic here,
but they all have to do with sectarian divides, apartheid walls
sometimes felt more intimately, reductively personal,
and sometimes more transparently,...

Storm Inside the Brain
She was beautiful like the rainbow. 
Her fragrant smiling words of luminance. .
Unleashed adrenaline into his mind..
with tactile thoughts of proximal paradise.
His five senses collaborated a screenplay. ..
with billions of brilliant tangled neurons.
He imagined... .the fantasy of being in love.

But deep in the sky of...

Premium Member Newperennial Opera
Past years of lives of ages gone
yet dark shadows shaping choices,
hiding unrecognized options
waiting for New ReSolutions.

Future lives unraveling evil absent
blinders
doubling over crying laughter
days of PreHistoric Futures
cooperatively over-invested in competing
to Win a race only won through losing
Ego's monocultured nighttime face.

Past tears seeding passion's future flowers.
Flowers tearing...

Premium Member Goldenrule Dream Circles
I was one of ten invited
to play an ego-enrichment game,
to experience economies of mutual democratic trust
contrasted with Win/Lose politics
of privileged narcissistic lust.

Why?
I reasonably ask,
when each of these ten invited ego-systems
could be home in front of our wood stoves,
slurping our chicken noodle soup
with lightly buttered whole-wheat...

Premium Member You Be the Judge
There is a language in the language that only I speak

   There is a weave of gossamer meanings that vibrates

 Meant to tremble the spirit like song on the tympans

To drunken the heart with omens of love and passion

 These words, these constructs...

A Stray Tear Doth Adieu Occasionally Shed

Premium Member Karma Inspirations
An Eastern term, karma
for Western causes
leading to subsequent events,
one bilateral lined dimension
temporally expressed,
explicated,
delineated,
articulated
co-arising dipolarity
correlational
co-relational,
negative and/or positive

Energy
empowerment/disempowerment
enlightenment/disenlightenment

Pathological benightedness

East v West dissociative energy
potential power
shadowed unfore-giving lacking light

Repeatedly,
redundantly enough
that we create "pathology" language
to describe constant,
or nearly constant,
win/lose anticipations,
positive/negative correlations,
sins against health-spirited nature.

Karma causes
predict our concomitantly associated
