Best Relational Poems


Premium Member Identity Crisis

It's complicated
The way she looks at him
Not the way it used to be
When he had held her gaze
She had expected to love him all of her days
Had walked around in that lover's daze
Not aware of his cheating ways

His hiding and deception
An unskilled master of self protection
She discovered the reason for the alienation of his affection
All the small clues that led to his detection
Making her doubt herself
Not wanting to believe his indescretion
It was easier imagining relational perfection

Without him she thinks she has no life
Her identity tied to being his wife
Yet now she wishes 
imagines
Gutting him with a knife
much better being a widow
Than a cheaters wife

So she looks at him with piercing eyes
Imagines the other woman's thighs 
And the part of him she use to make rise
In this moment she begins to realize
He's not much of a prize
Still deep down 
she hopes the bastard dies!

Premium Member Sabbath Playgrounds

Sunday afternoons,
or Saturday afternoons,
look and feel richer,
dense relational liturgy of mundane ritual,
often more sabbath quiet.

Quiet neighborhood school playground
celebrates more solitary visits
seeking silent sensory selftalk,
muse swings back and forth,
happy slides up elational,
processional,
then downright ecstatic.

Sunday's GratitudeGoRound
of a warm winter's sun
pretexting Spring's redemptive dance,
prancing across wet jungle gyms
of mythic pirate romance,
swinging Tarzans and Janes
flying rope to rope
bar to bar
beating outdoor kettle drums
of Sunday's sacred playground joy.

This light we bring to sabbath
Sunday's sun absorbs 
full resolved through echoing play,
a child again
in love's sequestered Solar System womb
giving happy birth to weeks
becoming strong,

EarthBound PlayGround
ecstatically beloved 
Queen Shabbat's weekly baptism 
in love child's regenerativity.

Premium Member Jewelry Box

I tried to put my Jesus in a jewelry box
So I could carry him around
Take him out when I had the time
Marvel at my image of him

I wanted him to be a certain size
Just big enough to make me smile
Genie Sized
Big enough to answer my wishes
Make me feel good about myself
Then I could put him back
Until I needed him again
Out of sight out of mind
Until the troubles came
They always did

I had to sit down
Examine myself
Understand he is more
My Jesus
My Jesus
Cannot be contained
It was my own mind that was constrained
Blocking him out again and again
Boxed within my own doubt
I couldn't see what He was about

It was time for me to let go
Let Him be the Master
There is much I don't know
So I reached out with my mind
To the vastness of Him
Until he occupied
My heart from within
He is the biggest and smallest
Smaller than I can see
Larger than I can imagine
Yet still inside of me
Connecting me to everything
Intimate
Relational
Inspirational

My Jesus
Your Jesus
Knocking at the door
Wanting to be more
Not just a genie
In a pocket
Enclosed in a jewelry box

Jesus
Patiently waits
Stands at your door
Can you hear him knock?


Forever Awakening From Deep Sleep

Unshakeable groggy state
plagues mein kampf
impossible mission to awaken
this comatose zombie
drugged horror - by potent

self manufactured narcotic -
oppressive tantalizing
nightmares indistinguishable
when supposedly conscious,
eyes cannot differentiate

dusky "reality" from
twilit zoned lifelike slumbers
confused with medication
induced hallucinations ferrying
me to lands unknown

lack proper visa to allow
this migrant citizenship,
cannot escape tangled web
spun since birth
threads tensile strength

beyond realm of destruction
incredibly dynamic force
defies sophisticated
contraption to measure
even against most

powerful dynamometer,
no contest when utmost might,
sans primal scream
regarding non anesthetized excruciating
spinal tap daily visited

on this beastie boy,
no matter summoning every last ounce
of mine (billeted) willpower
foregone conclusion collusion
effectually ranked less

than lame duck effort
defeated, jackknifed, stymied...
every step of the weigh
I loathe forlorn doomed curse,
a worse fate than death,

no life worth living when bereft
of interpersonal, "normal",
relational... trappings,
yet death not available
for this walled in hostage

imprisoned within inescapable Alcatraz
every blinkered instant nsync
with pseudo fictional
realistic psychedelic dreams
mocking (this bird – dodo)
man cave existence, a mere

abysmal charade, facade, jade
did minimalistic functionality,
where suicide an irrevocable
unfair punishment to Shana Punim
precious daughter, whose caterwauling...
would wake grateful dead!

Premium Member Music

All music is relational
Even if the instrument itself is unconscious: 
Like tree leaves in a breeze
Telegraph their praise in God's presence,
Dot and dash an earthy hymn;
Like an earthquake whose rumblings
Remind you that in geological time
All that we think of as solid and whole
Shares water's properties;
Even mountains bend the knee;
What was tight winds down, relaxes,
Like a German music box,
Becomes a cosmic "OM" at last;
Only whales, those connoisseurs
Of deep and low, perhaps can hear.

Our human ears span such a narrow range,
Need scientific augmentation to hear
Last ringing reverberations of "Big Bang."
For sound is not just vibrating air,
Our eyes too have their limits
As invisible stars also play their role
And human senses discover new symphonies
In the music of the spheres.
For doesn't vision inflame the heart as well
As guitarist strums and fingers dance on ivory?
Have you never seen a string's exertions,
Or felt invisible waves of tympani?
Yes, even bowels play a role!

And, oh, the stories told in sound alone
Can find their poetry in dance,
A music of another kind,
A kinetic vision of the soul itself.
Whatever touches heart is music,
Cannot be missed, only denied,
Oh, do not ask for whom God sings,
He always sings your song.

Letter To The Editor



             Your judgments have me grinning.
Don't pretend you were immune 
from the Avarice of Pride.

Which you delved past cover packet 
into the gutworm of stardoms naked lunch?

Unfolding the artwork of your Deathsnake Bands- ministering to idol hands, 
wandering the scent of artwork sleeve.
'Scent of new jacket 
with walking around money in the pockets 
made of 'feited hourglass sand.

Do you not find it pathetic and ugly, 
to keep chanting me me me?

I like how they are stringed pearls of sos-, 
smokerings, 
death row-, 
'peals of that Apple 
"standing up to be counted with pi 
and to give account" 
as a bridge to understanding your insanity 
and to give creedence to your selfish lies 
of phi, 
relational patterns of why is the sky...
-
Maggots of your own carrion luggage 
left to fester to the Son.

Sacrificial Poseidon Aquariums, 
Babylon Hanging Gardens, 
Bloodsport of perceived insects in arena of jar, of Leviathan Media Priests and Running-man television, 
(Black) arts.

Did you invent the term movie star?
(Vanity Smurf tearer), 
take a look as reality draws nearer.

Symbiose of the mind's chemical- sea trench monsters.

Rally the sheeples to stampede by your musical serenadings, 
box spring snakes coiled 
in union of souls call of tune.

Do you court the Druids to "tie a yellow ribbon round the old Oak Tree..."

Such Romanticide, needy.

(Your True : CHORUS)
A falling star hung in the air by insindiary glare 
legislating from your bench
like Hephaestus tears
tinkering above a lossless accomodater
puppeting to speak your own truth
while pride sets up another soothsayer booth

Lucy, you got kisses for five cents,
while the world is monopoly 
burning your marketplace incense, 
falling for the fallen to pay for incoming recompense.

So, Nephilim pretending to be our Creators 
is your next one, huh.

Soon, the World will see, your sumptuous gush 
of trans-humanity
is just mental masturbation 
fantasy 
escaping the real thing.


Premium Member What the Falk

There was a time when you could hold me
But I have since learned to walk
Another when thoughts seemed to cage me
Now digital is a relational talk
Imagine unique ways to display yourself
Try and shun what they will balk
Stand in the places outside of yourself
Let your mind free you as a falk

Our cooperative DNA research

What we still do not know,
yet hope is true and beautiful and healthy,
ecotherapeutic,
Why do our day-to-day decisions
co-determine how each Ego navigates through great and small transition points,
why identity co-evolves through and beyond
each EgoRelational Life?

What if DNA/RNA Solidarity

Any day that feels more confined by fear and anger
mind-neglect and/or body-abuse
than refined by love

is another day invested

My Brother James

We only talked sanely a few times, 
About how he also had a condition like me, 
Although my dad, who was a pharmacist, when James was small wouldn’t say, 
Obvious as it was that he had CF from his cough n' inward-growing finger-nails, 
Dad decided to bypass the issue, medicine to assail. 

I have CP, and needed James’s comfy chair to read, 
It was given to him in misogyny because it was blue, 
About three months before he died he said, 
I could have it, and must convince mum and dad that it was mine;
They were Christians, fundamentalist and strict, 
And so sometimes there was an elephant in the room,
Between me and James, about the physical.

Death is inevitable, but to them it was only a maybe for James, 
When the doctors had said that 14 was the expectation, 
I prepared myself for the worst well before it occurred, 
As an atheist I am, with no qualms or hesitation. 

James wanted for me the best, happiness and friends, 
Wanted me to do my best physically, ‘cos he knew I wanted that too,
But he also suspected that I would grieve for him rightly, 
Not like a sentimental fundamentalist who believes that Jesus is risen, 
But as a steadfast atheist who knows what has been given; 
So he knew to remark on my immediate life without him so as to adjudicate. 

I cherished Christinna Georgina Rossetti’s poem, Remember, 
Long before and for some time after James’s death, 
And quietly held in my heart the loved-one’s good wish, 
Mum used to think that sometimes I was cold as stone, 
But really I'd faced the fact that James was dead and gone. 

Although Rossetti was by no means an atheist, 
Her poem recites the mantra of the bereavement psychologist,  
That to get on with your life as best you can,
Is a right, the partner of grief, and the pathway for your lone self;
In the Bleak Mid-Winter puts Christ as relational to nature,
Instead of pertaining nature to Christ, as it is normally, 
And so we must partake of it within our space and our pasture. 

Rhoda Monihan

Green

Green is a mix of blue and yellow, 
And indeed it is both normal and bold;
It pertains to land, country, plant and tree, 
And holds nature within its hand. 

It symbolises rightness in ecology,
As the environment of the bird and animal, 
It comes from plant chlorophyll which receives light, 
Changing its energy into photosynthesis. 

Plants breathe, and they breathe by chlorophyll, 
The green pigment in all plants and cyanobacteria, 
So when you say that life is not relational to you, 
Just look at a green apple or a kiwi fruit and laugh!

Laid Upon Their Alters

"Laid Upon Their Alters" 

qhapaq hucha 
it begins at birth
the most precious 
resource of all

we are registered,
audited, one by one
under the rod measured
by lizard rule 

the capacocha 
children of complacency
dumbed down, some
thorns, uppity, removed

heads counted 
to be held high 
as trophies, those played 
and won 

for the greater good

oh yes, 
we belong;
we belong, 
we’ve always belonged,

to the ruling class

sapa inca 
orders sacrifice, daily
all are held up to the Sun
of the others’ huacas,

accountable,
we are ears of corn
sheared and scattered 
kurnels sown to replenish

a new world
fresh crops
laid upon 
their oily alters

falls the empires
one by one 
like conquistadors 
they dissolve us

holy sees parted
red and bleeding
we are all children 
well drugged 

foreplay for prophecies 

all war rooms 
cleanly wiped
disinfected, by fire
baptised deja vu

submerged 
together 
we are something else
to behold 

realm of the four parts

these final moments 
matter

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)






“With their royalty and focus of worship destroyed, 
the general population readily accepted Spanish rule 
as “what was done.” This created local assistance which, 
along with outside factors, allowed the Spanish 
to completely conquer the region by 1572, 
marking the end of the Inca Empire.“




“This pattern of manipulating a people’s concept 
of ideological power, in conjunction with 
relational and material power, 
is seen throughout history 
and is often a large component 
of the fall of great empires.”




"That’s why the banalities matter. 
When the real issues come up, healthy states, 
the ones capable of handling and minimizing 
everyday dysfunction, have a great deal more capacity 
to respond than those happily waltzing toward their end. 
But by the time the obvious, glaring crisis arrives 
and the true scale of the problem becomes clear, it’s far too late. 
The disaster—a major crisis of political legitimacy, a pandemic, 
a climate catastrophe—doesn’t so much break the system 
as show just how broken the system already was."

Premium Member Gummy B's of Life

Love without Beloved,
Beloved without Love,
neither alternative could be
me without you
you within me
both equivalent would be 
We.

We without you,
or me,
this simply can not be,
we takes both equally
bidextrously 
ambivalent

Without me,
just you,
or me,
which We cannot 
co-arisingly be.

I could not be me 
without a you,
nor you 
without a me,
as I, you see

we're not at home 
in silo-by-silo
universality,
confusing coincidentality,
poor performing 
economicality,
dismal absence 
of ecologicality,
teleologically teasing
merely biological We.

If no Earthy EcoSystem,
then no Me.
If no Me, then no exegetical
metaphysical
metamorphical
polycultural
permaculturing Be.

If no Belonging,
then no longing.
If no longing, then no hope
of Belonging.
If no becoming, then not Being
seeing
sensing
souling
solving
resolving
resonating
hibernating
sublimating
en-double-lightening We.

If synapse
were not quite so closely haunted 
by relapse
deep learning might be 
as boringly unpredictable
as gravity's self-creational
bi-relational
lapse.

When East and West learn to divest 
of Othering culture's absence,
as South and North learn to invest
in Other culture's apart-sense,
then PermaCulturing Design 
will co-redeem 
sustainable We
polyculturing our healthy Planet
polymorphic economics
polypathic ecologic
becoming PolyWealthy Therapy.

Messiahs turn Left 
to Rightly Prophet
and CoMessiah Right 
to EcoProphesy Left
and back again
to revolution Earth ethics upside down,
with SunGod's cooperative rays on top
of Earth's economically rich 
deep pie charts
and global graceful synergy spread wide
warm watery reception,
challenging bi-generic tree-ringed contractions
of grace,
karmic abundance,
a Bun Dance away from narcissistic ignorance

Ego's fancy prance,
of why when we each and all come together,
in love's full climaxing bilateral embrace
we turn our identities future side down
a pace
in this HereNow timely space.

We each come to redeem our Ego investment
born of Earth's long-spun
cosmic fun
regenerating narrative,
double negative binding Identity
creating SuperEco-Normic 
sticky Bliss

Is not
Love without Beloved,
Beloved without Love

neither alternative could be
me without you
within me
both equivalently 
must be 
gummy We.

My Footprints

It's not footprints that we should be talking about -
They’re personal – my footprints, bold and giving,
Which shape me, make me me - who I am:
They're not Jesus’s, the king of living.

Your personal history partly determines your life,
Helps you, or makes you want to overcome,
Makes you want to become who you want to be,
Because I'm more than just my history’s sum. 

The Jesus that we know is a universality:
Communal, all-knowing and immortal;
But that I evolved and am part of humankind,
Gives me purpose and a rather large portal.

Individual responsibility makes the criminal weep:
His actions are only his, there's no leeway;
It gives the success story her satisfied smile,
At past determination in her disbelieving day. 

Existentialism posits we each exist without divinity,
As self-sufficient entities with meaning as your call;
Supernature strokes the ego, fondles the pride,
So just believe in atheism and be relational to all. 

In Mary Stevenson’s Footprints poem, 
Jesus carries you, with his footprints in yours;
But I think my role-models, physios and teachers,
Along with myself, carried me in theirs!
