Best Shallowly Poems

upon the painted grains of sea
I posted dreams of a candy-cane
barely on the verge of belief, we
drown myself to sleep in a bed of insane

within the breathing skin of a canvas
you rub your brokenness into my heart
shallowly I drift to clean up the mess
that neither...

Side by side we lay,
She breathes shallowly 
and I feel her chest rise
slowly, gently against my body
her breasts press against my side
And I quiver, electricity shoots through my nerves
quickening my heart and melting me into warmth
i watch her peaceful in her sleep
at rest, safe and...

Grounded are the feet that be in the elemental earth
Bounded we the legs that keep the motion of walks
Rounded is the dirt beneath as the pressure begins to mound
Founded the discovery to uncover knowledgeable talks 

Sculpting melding seeping 
The soil underground flowing heated molten
Melting shaping...

Moon flower

You lay on white cotton sheets with the hospital logo imprinted
on the cloth and on the fabric of your life talcum powder for
your bed sores anorexic washed out gastric spittle dribbling
from ulcerous mouth facing what had to come no more shine
no radiant beauty just...

Sun hindered sultry earth, wet mound of mossy growth, 
       Cast to my grave way too early, untold secrets held by oath.
     My cross bearing name, years untold, vines they wind,

What my kids too often fail to notice,
and what I am guilty of weighing too lightly, 
to avoid timely discernment,
are contrasts in density of opportunity
and toxicity of risks
hidden within our values and disvalues
themselves.

Disvalues shallowly accepted for short-term Win-Lose strengths
of economic and political leverage,
to eventually overpower...

I will lie on a bed breathing shallowly, then suddenly depart.
In an instant all of my possessions will be yours.
Only then will you see what a slob I was.

Trainspotting 
isn’t fun 
not when she’s dead tired 
arms of jelly 
ears full of tears 
	baby wants 
	baby wants 
pick the kids up 
from school
strawberry jam 
sandwiches uneaten 
traffic jam 
	ma I’m hungry 
	baby wants 
	baby wants 
make the dinner 
bake the cake
bun in the...

it courses through my mind it burns
covers all the thoughts the yearns

brings me numbness, seeks to tank it
covers grief, a warm soft blanket

clears all thoughts and brings relief
brings surcease to all my needs

the mind is shadowed, quiet'd a bit
agony covered, a brief respite

all thoughts of...

Oh this poem is good, very good.
So unrevealing with its likelihood
of ideal rhythm –
I like its theme.
Oh ideas, these ideas I’m having, falling from behind,
Are whirling shallowly in my mind.
These consonants are diverging away from my head;
These vowels, are these vowels alive or dead?
This rhyme,...

No need to mention any of the names of those who ask me, “Why so quiet, James?”

In truth, I’m quiet since I do not choose to shallowly discuss the evening news, 
to idly chat about weather reports or wager over who should win at sports.

And...

repugnant or pleasant invoker of memory
run from or run too
can make you sleepy or give you energy
If unsure, shallowly breathe a preview
Tell me now how does it smell to you...

Vengeance Is The Sweetest Nectar

	What will it take for the dawning of the truth,
Deny all the gutter trips, mangled by your sweet tooth.
	Deceipt, and deception, immerse eternaly into luster,
Aroused by the desire to possess, a longing to bluster.

	Shallowly, you held your head high, for respect...

When you are just about to move
And all your stuff is in boxes
You can't really remember what's where
But you know you'll take it all and sort through then
That's my mind at the moment
All packed up
Just staring at the empty room that used to be so...

There is an irrepressible field of thought
We learn resiliently better
more profoundly together
than competitively 
and shallowly apart.

We feel better
in eco/ego-therapeutic teams
more than as isolated egocentric wanderers
more eccentric
than supported by nurturing environments 
ego/eco-centrically populated
with WinWin players.

EcoCentric thoughts
informing EgoHealthy beliefs,
feelings 
and resonant practice

praxis;

Ego-disciplines of WinWin TeamPlay
are nutritional regimes,
