Best Reiterations Poems
I sit in my easy chair
with its back to the picture window
in my living room
facing the TV monitor
watching the world flash by
over and over
in different reiterations
until someone turns
my electricity off

Professor Gorey
always had a story
filled wit guts and grim
til most folks around these parts
those with their full share of smarts
asked her where she grows her monolithic glory.
Grim Reaper
is not my heart's keeper
and I thank you so for asking
just what I see as our life tasking,
to face our fears as monotheistic sleepers.
Professor Gorey
how could your story
of climatic strangulations
and cataclysmic slaughter of multiple reiterations
do other than make us monotonously snorey?
Earth's story can wake you up
if you drink Her with half-full inducting cup
rather than gulping with competition
while choking for want of cooperation
between what's contracting down
why's polytheistic up.
What is this mystery
we cannot see?
of breathing ego down while eco-up,
soothing prickly cats by playing gooey pups,
confusing what might become communion
with how we choose to competitively be?
You've asked me well
so I must tell,
my deep gory fertile mystery
of permaculture ecosystemic history
is what makes our regenerating health
co-evolve so cooperatively swell,
overcoming LeftBrain v RightBraun
disassociated hell.

Limerick
Fallen upon knees in ashes of pipe dreamer’s infatuation
chimera's collective stardust reigning through macrocosms,
world spins counterclockwise unrealistically bound hiatus
stained glass mirrors fracture in rhetorical opposition,
earthly beings condensed to mere commonplace residue
threadbare allegiances written on worn out constitutions,
idly spinning cogwheels from premier breath to closer exhale
angels hark intensely attempting to assuage inevitability
whilst calm winds yield to maelstroms' imitative gesticulations
forfeitures of human activity sacrificed in sins' germinal vices
banal platitudes reinforcing an elusively unoriginal existence,
dancing 'round the fire tween inquisitions' reluctant commendations
preparedness on conventional suspension of ill-advised reiterations,
awaiting surrender 'neath an incoherent vigil's unorthodox rite of
incarnate passages' disconnected resolve mid consequential rationale
thereupon...
timelessness is but a variable symbol
factored in mankind's hallucinatory prayers

Prose Poetry
I live for vacant white nights:
devoid of stars and ocean hues,
a loose-leaf tainted ivory sky
that's just a whisper short of true.
Life's metronomic father points
his stale batons toward my mind,
though only to be broken down;
alone, I left him ticking blind.
The homeless shadows beg of me
for concrete shells to live within,
though I would never hesitate
to fill my inner evening den.
I am the author of my dreams;
I am the paper and the pen!
I sleep for chronic impulse:
the resonance of ceaseless bliss,
a feeling wrapped in brittle dust
and formless like a will-o-wisp.
Life's bittersweet horizon peers
into my deep nocturnal space,
though only to be torn apart;
I had no need for such a face.
The boundary linking earth and sky
does not exist for chainless hawks,
so like a bird, I'll take command
and pave the path I want to walk.
I am the proctor of my dreams;
I am the blackboard and the chalk!
I muse for vibrant futures:
the pliant maps of mental jumps,
a polychromic destiny
that topples every other trump.
Life's bland reiterations ring
around my silken paradise,
though only to be cast aside;
I needn't play with faulty dice.
The mirror to my distant past
is calling me with whispers faint:
"you must retain your future's seed
and tend to it without complaint."
I am the artist of my dreams;
I am the canvas and the paint!
No reality can keep its grip
on the cryptic force of my dream-tip!

Past years of lives of ages gone

waiting for New ReSolutions.
Future lives unraveling evil absent

Ego's monocultured nighttime face.
Past tears seeding passion's future flowers.
Flowers tearing weeds' convexing past repression.

deeply recessing degeneration's fission,
co-arising to co-fall PolyPerennial Harvest

Parallelismus Membrorum
Maybe just maybe you don't need to explain
He understands human emotions to know why you came
That troubled look on your face says that you feel the same
But scared once we've finished he'd play the blame game
All the same you've arrived with that look in your eyes
Determination piercing
He's seen through the lies
You're lost and you've wandered your way here to him
The person you love
Who you don't want to see
All it takes is three steps
The first step is the hardest you'll
Play it again
The day that you chose to turn back on a friend
Your justifications And reiterations
You felt he was wrong through the whole conversation
You'll remember why he had that surprised look on his face when he opened the door to see you
The second step is to endure
What did you hope to accomplish by turning your back on a benefit
Was it worth it to work on what now is irrelevant?
The tears that you cried
All the times that you've lied thrown to the wayside
To stand here as a revenant
He's not going to hear any form of excuse
From the person who seemed to get kicks in abuse
To love all the wrong just for something of use
To say men are the same when its those that you choose
You will hear this
Every word that comes after is pure and sincere
Though sharp as a blade
It's wise as a seer
Through calm disposition these words will now sear at the weak sensibility you seem to hold dear
The third step is left in the air
She doesn't know if she wants to make it
Her voice is now broken with no way to fake it
In truth the mistake was she knew she could take it
The promise still stands she just can't bear to break it
But something happened
The gap has been removed
He took that last step for he can't bear to lose
The feeling that ate at the pit of his rage
The possibility to hold hands til old age
To love and to smile he holds on to the day
She stands there amazed as he feels his embrace
He whispered in her ear the promise is fulfilled
We'll meet up halfway love
That was the deal

So easily
silken in droplets of anticipation
on lips quivered
in union relentless
longing desperate
for voice of thoughts and eager consummation
Spend the hours alone
until night wearies of never ending smiles
as with intrigue
exchanged those words
metaphors of souls
abandoned to those passions
All consume our hearts
relentless
fascination so exquisite
the cleaving to of skin
delicate droplets anticipated
in the giddy hedonistics of love
Aye, those phantoms
those bubbling expectations
hand in hand
wrapped inside those tender moments
sweet lifetimes possibility
of loving reiterations
And how we watch
as love dismantles them
Those metaphors have become rattlesnake words
expectation bruises on the anvils of the heart
and all come to weight
as so we are judged
by the sting of bitten emotions
Such idiosyncratic maladies
play to discord unions melody
of heat turn to the cold
compromise revealed
and to a folly of romance
lays it’s naked face
Sold for chocolate-box hope
the agreements of too many conciliatory verbs
lays waste
on what was
no more than love
We count trinkets
between mine and yours
fatal reminders
and photographs
searching amidst the fall
for the reason of the tears
in which we wallow
It never was I
never was you
but this shattered mirror
the testaments deliver
what was once
no more than love

Yang+Yin optimal health economics
fueling wealthy cooperative politics
Leads to less survivalist
Yang v Yin
Also,
Yang x Yin
multiplies SunLight x EarthPower
cooperative empowerment
fuels enlightening reiterations,
integrations,
creolizations
As Yang/Yin divides
separates
disintegrates otherwise win/win
healthy systems.
So, just a quick restorative justice question--
Let's imagine a homeless adolescent (Yang)
and an angry and resentful parent (Yin)
left behind
at what used to pass
as their peaceful white picket-fenced
house
home
habitat.
Do we assume the defiant
rebellious
often self-vindicating
PTSD and ADHD,
homeless adolescent
is typically at fault?
maybe?
Or
do we blame
and shame
the still housed adult
working one
or two
or three jobs?
Why not both
and why not avoid condemning
either Yang or Yin
Perhaps complicated
with trauma intergenerational histories
as old as slavery
and warrior rape
and tribal sacrifices
of adolescent trust
and beauty
and soul emptying absence
of win/win integrity,
secular intent,
sacred hope.

Maybe it's just me.
So, I'm asking,
as focused, yet open
as I could ever hope to be,
Do negative correlations
between inhaling
and exhaling
Earth's sensory WorldView
resemble, for you,
too,
a reverse correlation,
dipolar co-arising
appositional contrast,
in-between grasping on
and distracting off?
I am not sure why
this question could be economically
or politically
or psychologically
or neurobiologically significant
In this time of great polarized
climate EarthHealth and EconomicSafety crisis,
and yet,
it persistently seems so
as I attempt,
in my EarthView solitude,
to exhale and detract from
left hemisphere verbal
monopolizing
demanding dominance
To inhale and grasp toward
more right hemisphere nonverbal
nonviolent communing
climate therapeutic
in-between re-association
re-syncing thought and feeling
re-communing secular and sacred
re-ligioning
Green
and blue
and red
ultra-violet reweaving
Earth's climate health
grasping fresh inhalations
and distracting patriarchal stale capitalism's
white male privileged
pompous hortatorical reiterations
of Fight Makes Godless Right
Grasping or distracting reactionary
nonresponsiveness
to our secular
and sacred longings
for EarthHealth
and DemocraticSafety
non-oppositional points of WorldView.

Political Verse
~Body
A Debilitating cage I’m not permitted to escape,
Thoughts of blades, craving the slice and scrape.
Jokes and giggles echo from friendly and unknown lips,
I stop eating and lay down the chips.
Everything I do from breathing to eating, to sitting causes laughter,
Leaving me crushed, despondent, and confused after.
Loose and dark clothing cloaking a body I am taught to hide,
The glares and scoffs speak silent volumes when implied.
Clothing made for a body I will never obtain,
With the common recommendation to just self restrain.
Years ago it wouldn't be the case
Now just to leave the house I must brace.
Punishing the flesh only goes so far,
Each failure marked with another raised scar.
~Mind
Since the young age of six I knew,
Missing unspoken expected cues.
The world I view isn't what most see,
Self-worth swiftly crumbling into debris.
Books unfold new worlds with simplicity around each corner,
Yet when the pages close, I'm back to being the local foreigner.
Hearing words of a language I have known my entire life,
Attempting to understand brings nothing but strife.
The simple beauty in a raindrop,
Was the first time I saw my brain stop
to admire something no one saw
But doctors call it a genetic flaw.
A brain not built for this world,
so back into a ball, I curled.
~Soul
A hopeful heart meant to help all,
Eagerly willing to assist unprepared for the fall.
One person willing and waiting to drain,
for nothing more than their own gain.
Hoards of people needing one more thing,
I’ll happily bend in half to be your sling.
As soon as I request a shoulder to lean on,
Suddenly their need for me is gone.
Confusion and self-blame infecting the gash,
Readying myself for the next crash.
I get tired of shoving my round pieces through the world’s square hole.
A stream of non-ending reiterations of my differences, from body to mind to soul.
Tick marks line my limbs, counting the times I let the urges win,
Memories laced with shame encourage a new chapter of sin.
Pointless quest after quest attempting to find the map to this stage of life,
As the bedroom door closes at night, I'm left with stinging tears and a yearning for a knife.
