Complexities Poems


Premium MemberThe Complexities of Love

A quatrain 


Rear, I feel the dark shadows that I fear,
Near, is the storm to reverse my gear,
Complexities of clinical depression,
Silently, I walk to my purgatory,

Back in the foliage of sweet local park,
Where we made kind love, your warm heartbeat I hear,
Warm embrace of gentle sin, during the storm,
light brown eyes, radiant in tonight's dark

Premium MemberTHE SPACES THAT ARE LEFT


I never knew what to fill the spaces with
Sometimes I didn't even see them
They were disguised under many coats
With hidden pockets of shallowness
And oversized buttons to mismatched holes.
It didn't matter most of the time
Because the tailor never stopped sewing more
And I was content to let them lie
Beneath the growing pile of tweed
And gaberdine and wrinkled

A Fixed Poetic Self

In this complex box of world, 
compact box of world, 
where all are jumbled – fumbled,
where the mightier reign their voice, 
others adore their choice,
how? how can I guide you to nail   
a steadfast identity,
a fixed poetic self?

I dreamed, 
as a young poet, bearded like a pard.
I stood at an imagined crossroad …

Premium MemberLife's Complexities

When the sun is blazing bright:
we feel its rays warm our skin.
And somehow, we instantly feel less stressed:
our worries get consciously placed on pause,
while our primitive genes greet the moment.
Breathing in a breath of air
reminds us that we're alive.
Life is too short; we don't pay attention,
while time ages hearts with a gentle hand
and shares the

Life feels too complex for mere words,
she curiously said aloud
repetitiously anyway.

I see health differently, more confluently,
and yet your complex experience feels familiar,
he summarily replied.

I would not equate my life experience
with healthy process, necessarily developing positives,
although sometimes yes,
especially in wombed and infantile beginnings
before words became evolutionary tools
to be used both for and against complexities.

Language feels more

Love's Expounded Complexities

Love is a noun
				in the need of finding it,
				once found, a verb.

				Love is a beast
				so wild
				haunting on its prey.

				Love is a drug
				leading to addiction.
	
				Love is a novel
				starting at prologue,
				chapters follows and
				epilogue as closure.

				Love is the sunrise
				born and dies at setting		
				to await rebirth.

				Love is a catastrophe
				leaving an aftermath
				of destruction.


				Love is a disguise
				of melancholic grief.

				Love is an

The Complexities of Human Nature

I'm logical about my passion
And passionate about my logic
I am shy and friendly
I am an extroverted introvert

I'm an intellectual who loves media glitz
I am a homebody who craves date nights outings
I'm an isolated observer of human nature

I'm an industrious couch potato
I'm a bohemian who requires a structured lifestyle
I'm a despairing romantic
Optimism and pessimism continue to

Herein, the evolutionary positive psychologist's voice is that of C,
leaning sometimes toward the yang-ego identity side,
while the evolutionary ecopolitician's voice,
doing his best to play WinWin ecotherapist, is D.

C: The best way to live is by learning to control [Ego-Left] consciousness
D: by also deep learning to ecologically extend RightBrain flowing ecoconsciousness.

To do so, evolution, 
whether personal

Love,

Freedom,

Multiply,

Deep contemplation,

Encompasses understanding,

Awakens the inner man, humbling his venturing,

A pathway, unhesitatingly travelled, to achieve personal goal's fulfilment.

Premium MemberAndrogynous Complexities

Like a dirty stain that should be removed,
the once clear distinction between men
and women has become murky and gray.
The stain grows and smears lines and 
edges, the shape of men and women
are remolded. Gone are the curvy
feminine lines of a womanly figure,
replaced by more angular lines.
The bold, masculine lines of a man
are softened, erased and

Why is it that we do that which we don’t want to do
And we don’t do that which we want to?
This is the question that troubled the Apostle Paul 
A man of God, who still struggled with those inner tendencies.
It’s a question that troubles me, too,
The good that we should do, seems so hard to
