Best Respiring Poems


Premium Member Consciousness
We seek knowledge 
on the outside -- 
the mind of science
the body of senses
spatial summations -- 

yet, truer beams lead always
home

rays of sunlight entering
permeating the physical, uniting
with like energy

with mind
with soul -- 

moonlight entrancing

romantic such relationship

spiritual enchantment

swirls of stars of galaxies

patterns of atoms our
basic expression-threads...

Barong Tagalog: Carrying the Style and Wearing a True Legacy
Strands of satiny pineapple fibers
From the superbly prickly pieces of leaves
Refined by the nifty naked hands
Of the great sophisticated artisans
Beyond this unequaled plant
Is a peculiar product exist
Only native Filipinos - Tagalogs can procreate
An art of aesthetic craftsmen
The fabric of my historical breed
Versatile apparel suits for...

Premium Member Canto Xxviii Hell Translation Part 2
continues from part 1

And I to him: “Show me where I can find,
If you want that I bring your news then up,
Who is who foresees with so bitter mind”.

Then he put his hand at the yaw to grasp
Of one of mates his mouth to unlock,
Screaming:...

Unifying Theories of Chemistry
Unifying Theories of Chemistry 

Plants react in synthesis
Stimulations sunlight
Breathing the winds causes
Through fluid chains
Reproducing flowering responses

And systematically chemistries
Drive in attractions of curiosity
Stranger love crushes
To your ignition sexual A-symmetry
Produces adrenaline's certain heat
And senses blood pounding

So photosynthetic initiates
The A.T.P. of chemical currency
Splits living links furthering
More simple to...

Misconceptions
Alone, she sat quite still,
her gaze full fixed ahead.
Enrapt by visions fed,
scarce breathing e’er she will
disturb perceptions’ fill; quiescent as tho’ dead.

Into the room he crept,
his probing arm around
her body, no more bound,
so quickly was she swept.
As fingers so adept, respiring without sound.

Too soon was...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 19
The demon I had healed was watching me all night,
Silently crawling amongst the others,
Closer though, his strange arms stretched toward me,
And I was awakened, just before the crack of dawn
Cushioned in warmth, peculiar to the touch

“I want you to stay strong for the sake of...

Premium Member Trees Rooting With Me
Last Autumn we invested in a 0.5 acre
of Mother Earth's aria,
as sung to Thames River swell and tide,
New England new sprouting this our virgin spring wedding
with this home place,
space of grace.

My urgent first task, now largely complete,
was to partner with the trees and ornamentals,
in bodhisattva...

Premium Member Energy's Dying Wish
So, if I understand correctly,
you want to respond to inevitable energy descent
by upgrading incentives for cooperative communication,
positive information expansion,
research and regenerative design,
implementation,
and ecopolitical evaluation strategies?

Yes,
because we achieved current WinWin cooperative communication
and organic networking capacities
by virtue of investment advances
through recent past patriarchal dominant cultures
drawing down slow-grown...

Premium Member Our Planet Water
planet’s name is wrong
Water, not Earth, it should be
for water bathes it

search for life beyond,
by divining for water,
for life craves water

mater and matrix
water is the crux of life,
fluid H2O

The water cycle
drains rainfall, down to ocean
where vapor forms clouds

terrestrial cells
swim in primordial soup,
in bags from ocean

The vast ash-leaden clouds are in tears again...

The soggy tears like boxing fists - casting bruise 
and blues below. Unlike yesterday where they
mirror gentle caress to branchlets and blossoms
smiling in gratitude as they are showered free,

the dust and dirt slithered to them were cleansed
swept...

Premium Member In 100 Years, Mars Terraformed
In 100 years Mars will be an Earth-like clone
with a thick breathable, transformed atmosphere, rich in oxygen.
There will be clouds in the sky,
rain will fall again and the rivers will run.

Billions of years ago,
Earth had virtually no oxygen in its atmosphere.
No human could survive here.
The...

Premium Member Teachable Momentum
Today
we left off yesterday
to pick up
where speaking non-violent principles 
too often neglect to listen
to liberally artistic,
green and active
yet non-reactive
compassionate healers
may need to co-invest more
in co-operating democratic research
of
and for
WholeEarth DiaLogical Matriotism.

Excuse me,
but co-passioned listening
to silence
speaks not consent
to dispassionate lectures

Featuring compassionate feelings,
in every way but delivery
of impassioned...

Premium Member Deep Valley Chewtoy
Perilous fall risks
these double-binding thoughts
with feelings still nascently attached
positive and negative,
often complexly ambiguous

Sad and glad
as an old calico sock
become chew toy

Stumbled over in emotive colored sequences
contrasting tasteful language
comparing visions sweet and sour,
bland touch not grand
but better than feeling bitter
qualitative resonant/dissonant scales
of magnificent maleficence 
and malicious...

The Eye of I
THE EYE of I

What is life? What is love?
The eye of I took it in…
The material rolling sweeps highs and lows--valleys cuts, grooves, gullies and gorges eye engorge crevices of porphyry
heat flies from the ravines
places the eye cannot see but the soul can visit-- living...

Rhopalic Poetry - Don'T Pollute
DON'T POLLUTE

Love natures amazing diversity.
Please believe pollution, understanding
It's deadly, possible fatalities!
Don't pollute, recycle infinitely

It's real, important, remembering.
That marine wildflowers' phytoplankton!
And algae respiring, restoration,
The planet's atmosphere recovering!

Sad, untrue, depletion, reality,
Trees' woodland, rainforests, decimated.
Yes unseen pollution, propagating!
Our future becoming impossible....
