Best Mitigates Poems
Good earth styles
Fine ample grass;
A fine raiment
Sun and rain speak
Splurge fond refrain;
Rainbows echo
Dawn flings
Shadows drowned;
Awake to birdsong
Man-made park
Forest architecture;
In the city
Journey here
Begin within;
Greet the sea shore
Waves splashing
Jetty promenade;
Fishing trip moments
Offshore boat ride
Temple pilgrimage;
Kusu Island awaits
By temple hall
Ancestral tablets;
Silence mitigates
Sunday church service
Congregation sings;
Amen to that
Buddhist mantra
Chanting meditation;
Mindfully aware
God's children come
Kingdom awaits;
Barter for bread
Hindu yogi
Beyond samsara;
Lotus posture
Muslim Renaissance
Faith revival;
Touch of grace
Sufi thinker
Austere profoundness;
Lessons to learn
Taoist philosophy
Yin-Yang address;
Harmony presides
Christian theology
Heaven and Hell;
Symbols and signs
Jewish piety
Despite persecution;
People of God
God wears
Many hats;
Each a religion
Wise men tell
From all faiths:
God is Love
Men of Science
Men of God;
Bridge the gap
Go beyond faith
Rest in stillness;
Walk the middle way
God's children
Need love and light;
Stern compassion works
A wise man said:
Live and let live;
Do not shed blood
Keep your faith,
Love all colours;
See human rainbows

All the little pieces
Shards of broken flutes and ripped flowers
Of handcuffed hours
Of burning showers
That had gnawed at the soul
Hammering and thrashing the whole
Into pieces of pangs pathos and spasm
Chasm in psyche
Cactus spiky
Time teeming with tattered twigs
In battered towers and disheveled churches
Leaving the life in lurch
A meaningless mangled moon
But it is time that prevails
Time ultimately treats tempers and mitigates
Its hurts and traumas
Life lightens liberates loves and lures
Loosens the soul to listen to
The deep blue music of life
Swapping the sores for the humming beehive
And lo
Now there flows the river
Boats with their swollen sails
Holding the wind from those broken pieces
Wrinkles and creases
Releasing them in crimson emotions
Into the wind and ocean
Palm holding dew
I love you

Perfect present from heaven above
You and I, we fit like a glove
Please let's not fight
It's just not right
So happy that we're so in love
Let our relationship grow
~love reciprocates~
Let sensation be sensible
~kindness mitigates~
Let meditation be met
~patience celebrates~
With love that's suitable
Cultivating our love to grow
We must let communication flow
Please hold me dear
You have my ear
Talk to me I want to know
Let our relationship grow
~love reciprocates~
Let sensation be sensible
~kindness mitigates~
Let meditation be met
~patience celebrates~
With love that's beautiful
A three-fold cord won't easily fray
I thank God for us every day
Through thick and thin
You're my best friend
Blessed that we feel this way
Let our relationship grow
~love reciprocates~
Let sensation be sensible
~kindness mitigates~
Let meditation be met
~patience celebrates~
With love that's suitable
With love that's beautiful
With love immutable

Resurrected love
Overpowers the pagan lusts,
Mitigates marauding insatiability,
Arousing within the valiant vixen
Nocturnal nuances to trap the moon,
Titillating a horizons distant need
Inciting the oarsmen in orgasmic rhythm
Cloth rippling in passion’s wind.

As a literal phemomenon, Death is fearful.
As paradox, an antidote to fear.
As life in death, it focuses on life.
As something absurd, one must cope with it,
Edmund Husserl or Viktor Frankl’ll help;
If literal ’n figural, generates fear ’n hope,
As “cowards die many times ’fore their deaths.”
If cyclic, it mitigates much of fear,
If linear, leads to dread—life after death:
Go to Edmund Husserl and he will help.
Thus, hacked to death, dear Death, by perceivers;
But when the worst comes to the worst, I quit!

Iambic Pentameter
The rooster's crow warns me that dawn has come
My sleepy eyes resist my need to rise
I blindly reach for her but she is gone
Then hear a sound that much to my surprise
Reveals she hasn't left but still is near
The sound then ever closer she appears!
One last embrace and kiss before she leaves
Declare undying love to last the years
Such declaration mitigates our fears
As varied shades of love each one perceives

Is there any largesse you can think of
That mitigates someone who hates
Into friend that might love for a lifetime?
And what possibly matters but God’s love
When minds that are rigid blame fates?
Where’s the reason to coax, where’s your plan’s rhyme?
Tell me what might you use as a lever,
Might bring back the peace to your soul,
Can you really get out of this danger?
What’s your plan so incredibly clever
To rescue your sense of control
When the one who must change is a stranger
Well consider the claim by Will Rogers
That all men are worthy of grace
Just how many of us have that courage?
By these lights he included draft dodgers
No sin can deny one a place,
Nor can having or not having knowledge
Might I give up my penchant for hating
All people in my life that judge?
Could my judgment be source of their anger?
Could it be that the block to creating
A more lasting peace is just smudge
That instead of a hand I give finger?
I suspect that my worst enemy lies
In friends filling head with false praise
May not kill, but can’t help with my growing
While the critical voice that with truth tries
To humble my ways, lengthens days...
He’s the one that I find myself owing.
What would happen if I should reach out to
Those souls less enraptured of me
Unsure I’ve got a spark worth redeeming?
One’s true power is changing your world view
Just be who God calls you to be
Know that changing the world is just dreaming.

Has the moon perchance a lover,
Could that be her cause to glow?
Or does she dream of brighter days?
I do lately wonder so.
For once upon a time, you see,
She brought solace to my soul—
She did comfort and enlighten me;
She dried my tears, and all.
And yet she shines for all the world,
As she mitigates the night—
Such a selfless and devoted one,
As she shares both hope and light.
And so it is I owe a debt,
For one so kind as she.
What gives the moon her cause to glow—
A lover, possibly?
Too busy making less of night,
She will likely always be!

From dark to light transfusing in a flash,
your silver-sequined mystery
that spawns new electricity,
it shines where none has shone before,
this trembling luminescence,
through waves refracted with your sheen
yet shows no movement readily,
the broken sea reveals your rippled hand.
Layer on layer endlessly,
the waves preclude all semblance of your face
and roll, so indeterminate their swell,
that light cannot quite penetrate the gloom;
and sun and stars no energy can gather
to clarify your loveliness for me.
Yet in the dusk your light still lingers,
bright and undeniable, its filtered glow
mitigates all loneliness.

Verse
Whether it's liberal or 3 dimensional it finesses my situation
bursting with creativity boosting my intellectual
I can see myself as an individual my mind is on
an all time high sensual life imitates it when i'm
down it mitigates it the pain gets washed away
like rain barely scratching beneath the surface
art is what earth is god handcrafted and made
this type of art could never be man made it's
tenfold and slayed I respect the pastels even
the paint I hope it never gets faint art is my
world sort of like my favorite girl art is what
I love we fit together like a hand in a glove
I'll put nothing else above.

“Where is the unfolding of karma?
Where is liberation-in-life,
or even liberation at death?
There is only One”
Verse revisited on 14-September-2022
When fully undifferentiated is our awareness
Fully integrated with God consciousness
There then remains no separate doer
And God alone is the divine mover
In which case feeling complete
Vaporised self is bliss replete
Knowing that God alone is
Felt within as a bliss fizz
However for the deluded
Duality reality as concluded
Even if glimmers of truth are seen
The soul has acquired not lustrous sheen
Thus attention oscillating between body and soul
Consciousness not quite God’s light we extol
Challenges of earth life’s learning curve
Oft mitigates soul’s gusto and verve
Law of cause and effect stern
Rotates life roles until we so learn
That all are one and the truth is love
Enabled when head-heart hand in glove
In resonance with enlivening throb of bliss
When our heart truthfully exclaims ‘I Am This!’
Until then oh weary hermit, it’s work in progress
As the pulsations of love divine slowly make ingress

Noah's PR seems quite fragile; I'm compelled to say,
Sons have wives at odds with wisdom, God's plan's feet are clay?
The Bible says wives’ families all perish in His flood,
Miracle (shock not withstanding) God's name isn't mud!
But I sense another problem, that should be addressed,
Nothing's changed in human nature! Where is this confessed?
Maybe humans "act the same" expecting things will change,
But for God to act like us? Well! That seems sadly strange!
Is there something that I'm missing, let me set the stage!
God who witnesses corruption, yields to deadly rage?
Where's TRUE "justice" in this venue? Where's discerning calm?
How did men betray? Did God succumb to own aplomb?
Sins of parents curse their child, for man yes, but from God?
Question Two! Must babies die? I still think this is odd!
Water's found to bury land, but why not children save,
Shock to all, this Bible tale! They drown! Their gift the grave.
Only one thing mitigates, men own their soul, God lives,
Time on earth at his command, soul's future what He gives.
Death unknown, our life a gift, the earth's provisioned well,
Best to trust God's love to last, for ‘friends’ can make life hell!

I am seventy-six now, last season of life
As I know it, but poetry buds in this ancient of days
With some wisdom remaining (though faculties fail me),
May verse testify to all friends I would praise!
Is there recourse for poets whose dreams don't survive?
Those too shy to ink verse their faint hearts lack the color to rhyme,
Might blank verse also serve though no meter's apparent,
Some hope that shared content still mitigates crime?
Does the fact we exist suggest Time has no end,
Does the depth of the abyss not sing of eternity’s stain?
Though the canvas God paints, human mind can’t encompass,
Does Joy of God’s wisdom save Him from all pain?
There’s a peace that age brings, though spent feelings are ash,
For Grace promises all will find rest who share faith in God's Love!
Did God's Son not choose death (on the cross for his brothers)?
Join Noah on Ark as he waits on God’s dove!

i sit within this darkened room
while contemplating death
examining my life ahead
each day’s become a test
i need to ascertain the core
and reason for my pain
because if i don’t find it soon
i won’t see morrow’s day
my bourbon’s neat and mind’s a mess
i’m barely holding on
it’s been some time since she left me
still mourning that she’s gone
i need to reconcile this loss
in turn becoming whole
for Jesus has prepared a room
for her eternal soul
my faith reminds that i will see
this mitigates my pain
is patience what i’m want to learn
‘fore i see her again
Lord please forgive my daily sins
these wages i have earned
i’ve gone through an internal war
i’ve lessons yet to learn

soma nectar flows
as it likes
bliss magnetism spikes
why then would we focus on
a scripture assigned node
that mitigates pristinity
of the pulse of life
perfect in every moment
