Premium Member Beyond the Stars
Dulcet scent of jasmine wafting through the air
 As moonbeams daub the swaying trees with silver hue
 Luna's glow prescribes romance, the twinkling stars
 make love a happenstance, as the wind whispers passion,
perchance ecstasy will ensue.

 I see her silhouette in shapely form moving
 with...

Premium Member Wombstorm: A Herstory of Hysteria
I. THE WANDERING

I was born with a life that bled—
a seafloor womb
dragging tides of fern
and marigold char

The priests brought saffron
and fear

crowning me with diagnosis

They said: She is too empty
They said: Fill her with figs
with seed
with stillness
They said: Her belly speaks too loud
Mute her

O Plato

Jaina Dharma
Jaina Dharma

Jaina Dharma, my divine path to Moksha or salvation
to achieve my soul’s ultimate liberation;
through self-effort, non-violence, non-absolutism, non-possessiveness,
renunciation, retrospection, introspection, serenity, and stillness.

I bow in veneration to those already liberated,
traveling on the prescribed paths Lord Jina advocated.
My soul deeply yearns to break through enslaving...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Slave of Freedom
It isn’t the toil
but drive,
that wears down a man.

Abilities and choices
are infinite,
but where is time 
when duties are many.
Man is a slave
to his freedom of choice.
Unable to commit
freedom masters him,
assigns the lot,
prescribes course of action
and makes his fate.

All men are free,
but they put on shackles...

Menopause
Some call it flushing, Some call it flashing 
but when mother suffered dad would come dashing
I think he was worried he might get a bashing
but a ten year old boy just couldn't help laughing .

Mum boiling over thinking no one is caring 
Under her breath...

Premium Member Sacred Ecology
I first ran across this term
Sacred Ecology
while reading Gregory Bateson
sharing a phylogenic
and holonic 
creolization
of ecosystemic language
with others speaking of and with integrity
as more primal and powerful
than competing WinLose psychic separations
of ecosystemic feelings-Right Sacred (0)Soul
and egocentric developing language facts-Left Secular (0)Sum,
balanced together 
also captured by WinWin...

Premium Member Terrorist Deserts Into Bountiful Rivers
I'm continuing to read Jane Anna Gordon's "Creolizing Political Theory"
although now with Antonio Damasio's "Self Comes to Mind: Constructing the [WinWin Creolizing-Bilateral] Conscious Brain."

Right now,
Dr. Gordon is discussing various academic attempts,
and some of them actual RealWorld politically-applied attempts,
to prescribe creolization as a form of ecopolitical...

Premium Member The Earth Justice Proposal
It may have been the WiseElders Circle
that commissioned the GrantWriter's first proposal.
Yet others claim it was the Young Adults,
And Pfizer prescribes New London's original health proposal
came from their own blood stream advocates,
And the Coast Guard Academy remembers an early defensive proposal
to heal and protect local...

Friendship Can
Friendship can prevent a blip,
By steadying the ship
And steering it clear of a rip
So it does not start to tip,
And the mate does not need to look for his whip,
With nobody needing to strip,
Do a flip,
And into the water slip,
Resulting in a broken hip,
Or a...

Believe It Or What
He doesn’t have to prove anything to me. The Holy Spirit, that is. I’ve always known He’s there, from childhood on, even if I ignored Him for many years. But like others growing older, I thank Him now and then just for being there. I...

Premium Member Amuse Pursuits 2
Big crowd gathering,
Street mime motions;
Silence speaks loud


By this bench,
Mall-side pavilion;
Busy feet greet


Shoppe sales,
Brisk human traffic;
Up sell more stuff


City mall heat,
Air-con breakdown;
Sweaty auras


Fauna and flora,
Wild flowers bloom;
Singing in the rain


Lovely lovebirds:
Octopus tentacles;
Shyness absconds


Morning psalm
Sparrow songbird;
Balcony recital


Window view slant
Bamboo pines sway;
Dancing in the breeze


Traffic jam horde
To conquer...

Family Life
Family life
 
 I ask myself what is wrong with borders well-defined places 
with interior freedom and rules;
yes rules, the liberty to do what you want leads enslavement 
break- up of families and chaos.
What`s wrong with having your banking system and our
money of choice with...

A New Religion
A new religion
That can the future divine
A new god
That can tell us whence we came
A nirvana of nonsense
That only increases our ignorance
A dismal wreck to people’s conscience

We fight among ourselves
To shed as much blood
As a sacrifice to hatred requires
We have long since forgotten
What bits of...
