Best Refueling Poems


Premium Member Last Night
I laid out on my porch last night
Listening to coyotes rage a fight
I watched the moon with her bright, full face
Place a blanket of shadows o’er the landscape

Tree frogs croaked a lullaby
I saw night critters scamper by
I breathed in the cool, fresh night air
As my...

Premium Member The Witches Broom
It is a witchy tradition to pass down your first broom to
The next generation, but poor dear sweet Mable inherited an eye 
Sore from her elder granny, the handle topped end was crooked
In a twisted bent way, the middle was weather warped and taped
Together by...

Y/our relationship with ecology and economics
incarnates polypathically,
multisystemically therapeutic,
like positive human relationships
and richly fertile sacred dreams
between DNA's biological unfolding and Vitamin D's 
absorbing ways.

Our actively cooperating economic design,
political intent,
power assumptions,
love,
light of truth,
beauty,
multisystemic refueling therapy
for ego and ecohealing community,

Appositionally driven 
shriveled by exhausting lose-lose practices
feeding shriven anger,
silos...

Premium Member Burning Logs
Each flame 
elegantly weaves in waves
flowing up from resources red cinder hot,
similar in warm color
temperature decrees
of beauty as integrity's truth
trust each surrounding flame.

Each flame 
unique in point of origin below
as ubiquitously flickering fading destinations above.

Yet each flame
the same
as kindred spirits
rising from sources restoring therapeutic difference
to...

Premium Member Life Beloving Dualdark Night

Some days and nights
I am terrorized by death,
cold silo ache-echoing fear,
claustrophobic breathless dark
barking inevitable factness and finality
of my decomposing mortality,
of history's posthumous demise,
post-humorous as hell.

What good is death
if it cannot at least invite eternal engagement?
Hopeful enrichment,
even some recreational opportunities
without concomitant health issues
soaring through our DNA...

Premium Member Fire's Fertile Advent
We are fire.
We fire.
We consume and produce warm memories,
and colder dissonance.
Where were we before first flicker of flame?
What were we before our warm time?

After our last flame expires
is our enlightened distinction
now extinguished?
Or this same where of space
and what of time
now revisiting a continuously burning ribbon...

I wonder what 
and whom
makes my transracial family tick.

Quick shadows of lopsided smiles.
Slapping white walls as you step by.
Are these tics
that make you tick somehow?

I know what ticks you off.
Disrespecting your sacred right
becoming lover you.
Yet I doubt a Mercedes convertible
would actually fuel your healthiest you.

I...

Premium Member Something Special
I lost something special
Just when I was at the threshold
The dark forces took hold
Many a time this has been told

Knowing now that new hands embrace
What was once mine this elegant gift of grace
Mesmerized I was the moment I faced
These thoughts I often retrace
The pleasure of...

Premium Member Hypocrisy In White
I am reading
"Democracy in Black"
by Eddie S. Glaude, Jr.
but continue reconstructing this title
"Hypocrisy in Only White."

Because
when I let my memory
look back to my own self-interests in history
as archaeological digging and prying and discovery,
adventure and curiosity
of my internal ecological development,
I reweave back
through still on-going matriarchal lines
that...

Premium Member EarthLove Invocation
Show me intimately passionate ways
to incarnate politically 
and religiously cooperative co-investment,
health and wealth and wisdom prosperity, 
regenerative integrity.

Show me active hope
for climatic EarthLove passion
uniting polycultural polypathic polymorphic paradigms
of evolving neurodiverse people 
light-loving transparent neurosensory pleasures.

Who am I
in Ego’s deductive dark winter 
of decomposing crown-fallen seeds

Premium Member Did You Notice
Did you notice?

What you have for breakfast,
despite what Mom said,
is probably less important than who you do 
and do not 
have breakfast with,
and why

The brand and make and year of your car
are less significant to your well-being
than the costs to you,
your family,
and our healthy future?

The...

Premium Member Secret Lives of Shame
We could speak together,
Decry rabid violence of chronically stressed kids
and young adults acting like kids,
apparently regardless of income or race;
perhaps not of enculturation.

Feeling claustrophobic,
anxious about an unpromising competitive future,
drowning in inch-deep and narrow boxed-in mentoring relationships,
without broad therapeutic merit, or even deep intent;
these are commonly...

My Soul Is An Ocean
My soul is an ocean..
I wade in euphoric waters all day
In my dreams I am a traveler
But when awoken I come to life
I swim along as the hours pass by
Until again I drift off into the night

Do you think it should be reversed?
Am I dreaming...

Existence In Exile
Existence in Exile


Dispensing realities of parallel dimensions thrown into alternate extensions
Panoptical parasitical pretensions lie the overlords of illegitimate intentions
Chaos encroaches an anomaly serving the omnipresent obsolescent odyssey
Travelers of space-time unconsciously rediscovering the past sacred geometry

Hemispheres of dormant deceptions live deceivers of maleficent conceptions
In the cosmic...

What if we see
and then hear,
think
and then feel,
possibly even smell EarthHealth
not only as good-natured green and blue golden Globe
but also cooperatively enspirited
NurtureWomb of WaterFlow?

What if we learn cooperative deductive WinWin ChangeGames
away from WinLose evolutionary
capital investing/divesting assumptions of patriarchal history?
Revolutionarily induced by PositivEnergy
