Best Reframe Poems
Overwhelmed senses brought me to my knees,
A forgotten tune that I knew no more,
The pipes were calling, blowing in the breeze,
Gaining volume, my ears full of their roar.
My thoughts drift away on a velvet cloud,
Leaving body behind, an empty shell,
Wrapped so tightly, this invisible shroud,
Music in the background casting its spell.
My spirit was soaring so high and free,
Like the kind of feeling you can't explain,
'Twas the ether or just pure ecstasy?
But there are no words so I must reframe.
A smile grew on my face, that I can tell,
And if you do the same, I wish you well.

BEAUTY ABIDES
Beauty abides, and as her lover,
I lift her veil to see transparent eyes glimmering
with an enticement worthy of seduction.
Touching some primordial passion,
she wreaks havoc on my senses.
And graces me with unspoken words
that promise delightful pleasure.
Beauty reigns as Queen supreme.
Upon her throne she emanates majesty
with an exquisite demeanor and
I stand back intimidated and shy.
Who can reframe this emotion?
Not a poet or artists brush.
Her soft rolling hills and gentle valleys;
expectations of undiscovered treasures
fire an imaginative pose
I am bound up in a mystic rush
that dominates like a drug's addiction.
And in a exotic haze I lie dreaming
of ephemeral caresses,
highly charged currents
that flow unrestricted around
her coveted reactive spaces.
Alone, with thoughts in time displaced,
I wonder, does she entrance all others?
Or in my silent muse am I the only one
transformed and felled by her abstract beauty?
Her allure is enduring, enshrined for all to see.
The recherche picture of her memory
never grows old and she still remains
indelibly imprinted on my erotic mind.

From my breaking point, i try to reframe
All my thoughts seem to sway
My heart hates what my mind became
Every emotion in my body, i try to tame
my mind says go, my heart says stay
from my breaking point, i try to reframe
For my mistakes, i take the blame
maybe we'll be again some day
my heart hates what my mind became
I smile just to hide my shame
For my wrongs to you, I will pay
from my breaking point, i try to reframe
I feel crooked with no aim
alone again, tonight I'll lay
my heart hates what my mind became
Now harshly we play in loves game
Disappearing fast like snow in may
From my breaking point, i try to reframe
My heart hates what my mind became

Sometimes you have to cry
When you walking in the rain
Sometimes you have to laugh
When you in so much pain
And there reasons we are here
Sometimes crying I laugh
Sometimes cry this will past
Sometimes crying I be blessed
When there be nothing left
Sometimes they ask you what's your name
When you are suffering
Sometimes they kick you when you're down
In disgraced they see your frown
Sometimes you have to cry
When you walking in the rain
Sometimes you have to laugh
When you in so much pain
Sometimes crying I laugh
Sometimes cry this will past
Sometimes crying I be blessed
Sometimes crying in this ole life ok, it's alright
This too, this two will pass
It won't last
Sometimes cry
I remain
Sometime cry in my own shame
Sometimes cry as I laugh
In so much pain sometimes cry can't remember my own name
All I have is to gain
As I reframe sometimes I cry again

Light Verse
Long shadows calm the ripples, sooth the edge
As sunrise bows its head, completes its pledge
In orange flash of daylight’s passing spark
Full blush for lover’s need of passion’s dark.
.
Bullfrogs will croak and dragonflies alight
As you reframe the embers of the night
We will return again as moment’s must
For memories are but the lies we trust.

Courting days are long over now
men, well, what does define a man?
Certainly, it is not merely physical?
yet one would expect manliness to
involve some sort of strength?
Does a man let a woman cry?
Does a man make a woman cry?
Honey DO this! Honey move-do that!
The theater is mostly empty now,
no sedans emptying bushel loads of kids,
no popcorn flying through Saturday afternoon’s air.
The kids are reigned in plopped in front of laptops,
too elastically rubber-kneed to walk more than
from the bed to the chair.
I mean the lounge chair, where
they slouch in perpetuity.
A decade or two of days to reframe
two generations of total couch potatoes.
They sit glued to their IPhone, IPods, Kindle’s
not writing, not composing but gaming.
It’s enough to make a mother cry, daily.
Fathers rush down packed highways,
single sardines in smaller and smaller cans,
toward their own desktop comps.
Carpal tunnel runs rampant over the populous.
Emptying box, after box of environmentally correct
reused paper tissues and green nappies into landfills,
online they bet on the daily double.

Toyous melody of childhood memories Board in tune becomes a high wire trapeze Two cans and a string acoustic phonology Each part paper comb sings the bucket drum With whizzing blade of grass in hands with breath hum The paper roll trumpet blows ensemble strums Running along the day grows as children play Rolling hillside a box becomes a sleigh Tutor love pea shooter from across the way After a rain paper boat follows the drain Bows arrows cornstalk fiddle finish reframe Hoop and guider dolls cat and mouse homemade plain

Lyric
Yang: What is the difference between a theist and an atheist?
Yin: A bicamerally balancing ego/eco-teleologist.
Yang: Well, so what's that; a teleologist?
Yin: You, if you believe the Earth is your co-gravitational
(0)-double-binding mind-spirit/body-nature center
epi-center
of wealthy egonomic
and healthy ecopolitical values,
each with equi-valent
ego/ecological
transgenerational health-care
deep wealth meaning merit.
Yang: So, who wouldn't believe that?
Yin: Probably no one.
Yang: So, why, exactly, is this an issue I need to look at right now?
Yin: Because, if you are an ecological panentheist,
then you are also a (0)-interest
co-invested bodhisattva peace warrior
poli-economist,
presumably.
Yang: Wow, I really did not see that climax coming at all!
Yintegrity: Yes, well, I get that all mind/body bipartisan time.
YangBright: Hmmm.... I can see purpose Now i
n sort of a 4D WinWin Cooperative Here
Ego/EcoOccupyers
Rejoining RNA Tribal Purpose

deep fractal meaning
kinda' organic sacred WuWays.
YinPower: Don't rush, reframe our collateral flow issues,
in alpha(0)mega double-binding poli-economic
nondual crown/rooted
mind-dawn/body-dark
respirating EarthNature's
dipolar teleological appositions.
YangLight: You flow on too darkly rooted much
for optimally repurposed fire-power.
YinPower: Invest less in competing economic partial-trusts
and politically disharmonic insufficiency
of loving sacred beauty.
Instead,
invest in repurposing
every co-engaging
meaning-full
experiential expedition
only where your economic health flows out
our cooperative climatic inflow
of politically multicultural wealth.
YangMind: Ah, yes,
I see
our MidWay Zen
mutual reflection again,
where my Tao wealth
caressingly embraces your cooperative health
of coarising egomind/ecobody-engagement
Right purposeful proportion,
eco-dominant meaningful balance,
light's radiant fractal frequencies
of regenerative logos-dawn/mythos-dusk
Yang/yin
pregnant/absent
positive/double-binding negative,
appositional boundaries of co-balancing light
and prime co-relational powers.
YinPower: And you think I flow out too much feeling!

Parallelismus Membrorum
verse 1
When the world is bored of doing right or wrong;
And their placement in society been prolonged;
Hope has failed, the choice has been renamed;
You wallow in pain;
verse 2
When the price of your soul is numerated;
Your life and death struggles constipated;
I can't relate to this, I move on;
Can you relate to this song. . .
chorus
woo oh oh
Optimism is a mental attitude or world view.
This is what I believe in, this is how I choose;
This along with faith make my spirit resonate;
Oh, Lord I am of optimism faith
Oh, woo Oh, Lord I got Optimism and Faith
The substance of things hoped for;
The evidences of things not seen, Oh, God I believe...
verse 3
When the world is tied up in knots;
And the interrelationships with the races is not;
Hope has failed, the choice has been renamed;
You wallow in hate;
verse 4
When the peace in your heart has stopped;
Your inter man soul is lost ;
I can't relate to this, I move on;
Can you relate to this song. . . hallelujah
REFRAME;
A common idiom used to illustrate optimism
Stand on faith, just in this
Believe on it
Oh, Lord I am of optimism faith
Oh, woo Oh, Lord I got Optimism and Faith,

Lyric
Here I am again saying sorry for my mistakes,
For not bending my heart.
There you stand tart,
And I am the source of your pain,
And I wish I could reframe
This hole sticky situation.
Can you feel my frustration,
Felling yours,
Still knowing closing doors
Is the only way to go about.
And I may create a drought,
Empty of connection,
Thirsty for affection
From both ends of the line,
Yet clarity your not mine
Has been there all along,
Trying to prove myself wrong
Brought us to where we are.
And now it's gone too far.
So with all my being I must let you go,
Farewell, my friend,
And may inner pease bestow.

"MYRIAD OF POETIC DISTINCTION"
By Tom Edward Douglas Johnson
(Please note lack of punctuation is intentional…)
swimming in the ocean always invites a certain potion but not one that you drink just more one that makes you think feel and act or is it react to a feeing that it brings around like the sound that was found in the sea where he and she whispered softly "i am awake, so take what i give and give what i take…"
impress my touch with love and such a beauty that's almost beyond words that cannot be spoken but more awoken inside a mind so true with words just for you of all colours not just blue which originally made you feel depressed but now it's touch impressed…
i had a realisation that an abbreviation of my experience would also limit my desire like throwing water on the fire and unlike a bird on a wire i won't tire for i feel it is time to show every sign like displaying a straight line…it is then we'll all feel fine at the end of this rhyme…
it is time to design the sublime rhyme which will surpass anyone still on their **** and living in the past and perhaps invite them to be fast in deciding slowly but surely rich in sense not poorly…for i do not care so much about money i just want the bees and honey returned to the deserving whilst my team is definitely reserving the truth that needed preserving all these years that have erased all the fears and even the tears…so do come in if you too desire to win the race that will deny the chase and know my mansion will provide enough space to count every face…
i try to be useful every day for if i give in to the only way that appears then another way clears and chases away all my fears so i see what is in front of me and was all this time but i now see each sign as a way to keep what i have and what there is to gain for i will never be the same and in a world seemingly insane i know my aim is to reframe a negative experience that i had to turn it into one that makes me glad…
To Be Continued...

I'M ALWAYS RIGHT HERE---
(iNTRO)
Going, gone going, gone you've went away, I'm now found in such dismay;
(verse 1)
I am always, I'm always, I am always right here;
I will always be right here, I will be always right here,
Just right here when you need someone dear, I'm here;
I am always, I'm always, I am always right here
I will always be just right here, just right here;
I belong by your side, and I will not ever hide, For I do love you...
(reframe)
And when your feeling so all alone, I'll be right here where I belong;
To embrace your heart, mind, body soul;
Always around, I will be found arms open standing here,
(verse 2)
I am always, I'm always, I am always right here
I will always be there, I will always be here ;
I belong by your side, and I will not hide nor will I leave you;
Right by your side I will always be there;
(reframe)
And when your feeling so sad alone, I'll be right here where I do belong;
To embrace your heart, mind, body and soul;
Always around, I will be found arms open standing here,
(verse 3)
I am always, I'm always, I am always right here
I will always be there, I will always be here;
I belong by your side, and I will not hide nor will I ever leave you;
Right by your side I will always be there;
I am always, I'm always, I am always right here

Oh, how's this work, how to reFrame?
The s p i n I'm in
"I hear your Name and I'm aFlame!..."
In Portraits to arabesques in Castles in Spain
And belles letteres of A. Nin
Oh, how's this work, how to reFrame?
Perhaps a chanticleer, puffed jactate, abreast of whether, vained
For thy meadowLin
"I hear your Name and I'm aFlame!..."
ReSown seeds, reap our grain
Grapes to wine, nary raisin'?
Oh, how's this work, how to reFrame?
A burning untamed
Unassuaged by Verse, unlessen'
"I hear your Name and I'm aFlame!..."
Will girasoles thrive arranged
Or Lilies' parure Daffodils akin?
Oh, how's this work, how to reFrame?
