The Pull of Al-Kuhl
I come with the indomitable intent to beguile Upon your face, I place an ephemeral smile When I come, I don't stay very long I have you up early but by the time I leave, I'll have you singing a sad song Gone! Gone like a thief in the night Sometimes I make you blackout, but when you return,...

A Consuming Weather
Clouds in a Walmart mirror. The galvanized roof is eclectically painted and rattling its shifting shadows. Some mutter, hurry to the unmanned checkouts, some seek a deeper shelter in the sporting goods aisle's The distant sounds of fire engines and sirens, a howling chorus of trepidation. Outside in the midday gloom parking-lot geese are forming escape lines. Squirrels gawp and chatter, hit the ground running. Another shoplifting tornado has come to town, pushing...

Consuming Fire
Licking my wounds. Recovering from the pain. Is it supposed to feel this way? Empty, cold, and dejected. Ashamed of not enjoying it. Radiating heat filling me up from my pelvic floor. Somehow, I am wanting more. More of the pain without it there’s no freedom for what lies between my legs. I am ashamed of how it leaks, throbs, & pulsates for more. Maybe one more...

Consuming Thought with a Burning Spoon
I'm not unmotivated, It's just hard to feel excitement when the only side I've ever seen of it, Was a mauled reflection I'm not disheartened, It's just hard to feel accomplished when its only ever been a withered flower in a cemetery garden How could I rationalize when I’m irrational? I can dream inside my wounded mind...

Hate is a consuming thing And it makes the emotions king Body and soul bound by evil In a constant state of upheaval And I fell into a whole lot of hate At my mind, soul, and spirit it ate And it burned, burned, burned~~ that evil And it burned, burned, burned, and stirred upheaval Now I've had a taste of...

Premium Member Consuming Compassion
Natural compassion, like unnatural hate, is left hemisphere teachable and right hemisphere contagious. Perhaps also like hate (fortunately I know less about this journey in misfortune) compassion cannot mature through merely didactic reasoning, words, thoughts devoid of healthy/pathological safe/danger anticipation/anxious feelings Positive communication experience commitment predicts healthy integrity Nurturing and nutritional support Nature's cooperative respite into nondualistic yet spirited peace, resonantly non-anxious safety breathing light in and power out A lifetime environmental healthy guarantee that I will notice, respect, attend to, anticipate moments...

Consume Me
To love is good under the starless sky in a man’s arms To break is good under the touch of a hand in a bed with white sheets To drink is good when you long for someone and you cry poetry To talk is healing when you kept quiet for years and you almost forgot the sound of your own voice To sing is good For you beloved,...

Fractures
Time is just fractures in space That loops Around the bend of eternity, Holding the world in a tight grip of Structure, that takes away the natural Order... So we stay in the grind of Imaginary confinements, Dragging chains, fueling the bondage Of generations that have lost their way Feeding the belly of the beast Till it's all consuming... So time steals souls and feeds the Deception...

Conjuring Consuming
Watching a dream, Unknowingly scream, What does it mean and I'm thinking like a teen. The night is dark, Clouds and lightning spark, As fear embark and i turned on the switch quick. But there was no light, And i felt there's no need to hide. Uniting all my senses, I could find all these fake. But i used to dream, All about you, portraying the...
