This is a complexly simple piece,
It's a creation's toil to put into words thoughts about His creator, who made the world with the words of His mouth, without precedent.
Olodumare
The infatomable mystery above human existence.
The Lord of all lordship
The most creative creator who created creations with the capacity to create.
Olodumare
Ogbánì tó n gbá ni lówó alagbara
Alagbara àrà tí òsè fò jù dì
The one whose power is unlimited to the limitations of mortal discoveries and imaginations.
Olodumare
You are faithfulness, even when my mess makes me a fool.
You are meticulously detailed in the expression of Your love for the one who goes astray.
Olodumare
You still the waters before leading me beside still waters
God is what You are, regardless of human experience.
Olodumare
It is You who makes, mars, and remakes.
And Your dominion is dominance over every dominating human philosophy.
And to Your Majesty, I have come to say 'thank you'.

As the Hedgehog is known for its hedge
It seems he is known for his edge
As he drives in the tip of the wedge
Whether swinging a ball peen or sledge
He will maul you with words aptly lurid
Setting traps that are complexly florid
Hit the gas, double clutch, and then floor it
Leave you lusting for metaphors torrid
Then on a whim he will dip his pen
And commit the poetic original sin
Of writing so tight it almost sounds trite
Shakespearian screamers awake in the night
And yes, he will dare, to twice poke the bear
Baring his heart though no one will care
Are his words stealthy demons bred of his fear
That might let you in, but won’t let you near
Thus, does he stand on the edge of the edge
His view a blank page on which he must fledge

What resiliently exists
has synergetically become together
more than win/lose competitive apart
Win/Win reframed
as future integrity's healing potential
existence,
sustainable experience,
potency for positive resonance,
multicultural cross-creating
and re-creating narratives
Historical regenerative
cultural responsive
co-invested fore-gifted plots
to co-invest
in co-redeeming
cooperative ecopolitical systems.
What cannot exist,
viably persist
prefacing entropic
static
unchanging enthymematic
pre-emptive being
without past integral reweaving
systemic and ecological potential
to produce empowering gifts
To induce grace
to seed
breed regenerative health creation,
Wealth of multicultural creolization,
positive resonant inter-nations
complexly co-invested
nested cooperative fore-gifted sets
of interdependent resilience
Throughout WholeEarth Systems
re-creating
ego/eco-feminists
more rightbrain prominent
re-educators
recycling
reweaving co-redeeming narratives
Repurposing
re-ligioning
re-integrating secular and sacred
re-storied Meaning
CoMediating political bicameral ways
and economic bilateral means.

you left me last night
you left me alone
you left, maybe, for another one
or you left for the unknown
a stormy night the night was
electrical thunder passed by me very much
I was in the faint light of kerosene lamp
around me was prickling damp
in the fading light alone
the lizard was in a quiet tone
on the mossy floor
the cockroach was swoon
In this closed room, you left me alone
though loneliness could not touch me
cause there was the Tagore, the Neruda
there were alive a lot of poetry
no loneliness touched me there
the poetry filled up your place complexly
since you left me alone period
poetry became my living partner beauty

This in-between place
and time
and space
is *****.
Neither the straightforward seer
of new beginnings
nor the recalcitrant rear
of old sweet and sour endings.
Bicameral climates of transition
listen for our most humane imaged left
and see through our most divine beauty right
symbiosis,
complexly bilateral metaphor,
secular and sacred transubstantiation
substantiating disempowering empowerment of creolization,
of co-investments, elite and non-elite,
of left investors
co-arising right effluent divestment
away from competing capital-headed
Business As Usual
In-between lose/lose alpha-point of birth
and win/win omega warm felt beauty
harmonious destiny,
Sacredly holistic resonance
co-passioning left-hemisphere resilient liturgies
Of songs verbally and non-verbally danced
rhythms entranced
co-gravitating with and toward trans-regenerative stories
of competitively deep curious and ***** cooperations,
steeped in-between courageous analogical health
as meta-phonic wealth,
Ecologically robust polypaths
toward polyphonic metaphor.

There are no walls
thick enough to complete absorbing hate.
We knit together no fragile win/win webs
of interdependent cooperativity
too thin to resiliently invite
timelessly emergent love.
I have no thoughts
thick enough to withstand win or lose
business as usual
evolutionary theories
And no feelings too vaporously slender
holy
spiritual
too thin to compassionately invite health
for emergent robust climates,
in and out
spirit yinning and nature yanged
holonic and yet physically whole
open ecosystemic

Polypathic ZeroZones

with raw not not polytheistic unbound plots.

Resonant metaphors are nourishing polypaths
analogous to rich polyphonic relationships
comparing polynomial poetic communications
complexly contrasting nondual polarities
For those with humane identities
informed by richly cultivated Win/Win faith
to hear and feel eco-them
as the healthiest integrity
with curiously wealthy
courageous ego-us
Building not necessarily not
ZeroSoul metaphors
appealing not to and not for,
but always integrally with,
ZeroSum polypathic potential.

Simply I am nothing more then a broken shell of my former self.
Complexly I am a ferocious storm of unknown knowledge and unrelenting prayers. yet I seem to be the worse of all that is in the world. Nothing can cause damage quietly like my soul and I have only met my match in pain once maybe twice. As our souls were ripped apart. All that try break and fall or run and hide. No one wants the challenge of loving the storm because it is so unpredictable and full of chaos. It has beauty and brings some joy. Yet it rumbles with fear and causes others to seek out shelter in those they would not other wise trust.
I am full of thunder clouds rolling here and there being heard outloud and in the silence of the rain. Near or far they know my name and that I will cause nothing but destruction.
Run while you can hide if you must but do not be caught in the storm of once was full of goodness and love. For now it only carries the pain of others it tried to heal and I will continue on my path alone...

Elder RightBrain felt compassions never die,
they simply enter colonizing peak
and complexly exit creolizing deep
erotic/agapic sexsensory sleeps
co-arising passion's positive redemption
Not quite so much ecstatically felt
in our first inhale longing breath
as in our last surrendered exhale
Synergetic belonging
co-redeeming breathless pleasure,
however unrequited,
resiliently touches sacred peace
with all indigenously resonant souls
ReGenerating EarthTribe's healthy heartbeat way
panentheistically anticipating wealthy paradise life
first inhaling birth of longing truth
last exhaling re-birthed belonging
Within Elder EarthMother's root felt
pronoia choice
empowering FatherSun's light crown
touching pleasure voice.

Backyard birds call me
in a diverse chorus of voices
each morning.
Come join our wading pools
our mountainous nests.
Come fly with us
if only for this brief respite
immersed in imaginary sanity.
Away from risks and opportunities
of complexly motivated
and dissonantly emphatic human nature
longing to rediscover
our eternally humane ecological soul
belonging reconnected
as and with and in Earth's flying raptured spirit.
Birds sing namaste benedictions,
invocations, with us.
How are you?
Come back to us.
Remember you came from
a long regenerating family
of singing flying swimming
rooting full-octave nurturing voices.
We each,
together,
build musical shrines in Earth's wilderness,
or recreate nothing of healthy value
accessible to all.

Some folks can't dig deep enough to see the truth
They cannot introspect, they are not obtuse
They have younger souls and graze through life
They have maybe experienced life only twice
They experience emotions less intensely
Their lives are lived less complexly
Older souls recognize the younger
Younger souls see no difference in others
You probably can think of someone you know
They don't have to be young to have a young soul
They can be very intelligent, successful and kind
But there's something different in their state of mind
It's a depth that is absent, it is sensed
An inner wisdom that hasn't commenced
If this is not understandable to you
Chances are your soul is lovely and new

Descending from the firmament,
complexly frozen mists of white,
crystals swirl in downward helix.
Upturned cheeks sting with contact.
Eyelashes filter clashing sleet,
as I burrow within my shield.
The congregation of wind intensifies,
pushing blinding flakes horizontal.
Sound waves interrupt themselves.
Deeper the folded waters pile.
Gales drift powder into rivulets,
while the insulation accumulates.
Alone, the storm fall isolates,
muting frayed voices,
hibernating chains of rich warmth.
I lie down in the buried meadow.
A white sleep promises rest,
drifting with the falling chill.

I am the epitome of my existence
I do my own thing unlike others and thats what makes me different
If u dont like what u are hearing then close your ears
but if you do then listen
Because i may be spittin something that you are missing.
SOme are waiting to rise
while i have already risen
and i have dealt with the scars from your inflicted incisions
NOw i spit many bars and some say i spit prisons
My regurgitated
words are rated
far worse than curse words are stated
and if you dont like my verse' words then hate it
because my complex verbiage make the mind feel complicated
Complexly rated
Maliciously compensated
now my thoughts have congregated
My knowledge grade A 100% concentrated
Poetry is my sixth sense and that what makes me different
And that is why i am the epitome of my existence!!!
