God comes in 3 and in 1
He works hard with His team-mates
Displaying no quarrel dawn
To dusk He cooperates
With the others in a form
He’s chosen to reach the goals
He set for earth to reform
He plays all different roles
As the Father the Son and
The holy Spirit He does
This at all times to expand
With great ease and yet no fuzz
But align with what the Lord
Wants one personality
In sync like strings in a chord
They have one mentality
Like an equilateral
They rely on each other
Showing no collateral
Damage that never bother
Jesus is God He once lived
Among us all, clothed in flesh
Yet He was never deprived
Of Holy Spirit they mesh
And through Him all existed
Some of us refuse to see
These facts which can’t be twisted
He spoke and earth came to be
silence engages stillness
entwining matter and void
wherein herein immanent
our presence transcendent
cooperates with flow of time
to feel each earth life pulse
acceptant and receptive
being our choiceless choice
to create no unwanted ripple
in the play already impulsed
whilst yet infusing vibrancy
in childlike innocence playful
that the omnipresent witness
pauses a moment to smile
beholding the lotus bud bloom
waterfall
ecstasy
next week
i kiss your rhythm
i hope the weather cooperates
waterfall
ecstasy
getting closer
i love to take long drives
i think i may let the possible rain be my guide
waterfall
ecstasy
right on the cusp
the trees all greet me with a smile
the sun says 'i told you so'
waterfall
ecstasy
here i am and awayyyyy i gooooo
the closer i get to the top, the better the vibe feels
thank you, Dear Lord, for this beautifully impromptu idea
why do you hate me?
You hate me because I stand up
(instead of lie down)
I tell the truth
(instead of contorting my lips, my life, my soul
to fit into your perfectly tidy little
story)
Your perfect plan...
Everything that doesn't stay neatly within the lines of your
beautiful lies,
gets rejected, baby.
And that's the way its always been, Right?
The Gospel according to "Down Pat"
Everyone has to bow
Everyone has to conform to the "plan"
or they get Cast out-
thrown under the bus,
aloha! adios! Hallelujah!
Roadkill, baby!
Praise the Lord!
It's all the same.
And then you wipe the dirt off your hands,
your face, your feet
(because u can't handle what just went down)
and quietly walk away-
and play (quite nicely and neatly, i might add)
the Victim.
(it all fits together so neatly and nicely, so beautifully done,
especially when everyone cooperates!....
hmmmmmmmmmmm)
soma nectar dripping
an elixir vivifying
which we feel within
as it energises form
node by node
cell by cell
osmotically percolating
each and every pore
choosing its own path
in a purring hum
doing nothing
we simply look on
aware of what is
as it happens
as is happening
in a teasing caress
delightful & seductive
radiating from the core
of each lifetron within
emptiness magnetised
cognition of what is
in an aspect acceptant
receptive and eager
yet nonchalant
cooperates with the flow
as would a child
delighting in play
merging by melting
into the current
with carefree abandon

Terrorized
Abused and vaporized
The two village clocks
Point their hands at me
While I spiral down an empty well
Nauseous and waiting to burst
I point my eyes upwards
Into the blackness
Where is that candle
That flashlight
That hint of bright
Everyone talks about
When does one reach the end
Like they say
Of the road
Long overdue
And not a hint of midnight yet
I release one more primal scream
Beg the dream walker to leave my eyes shut
He neither cooperates or cares
Life is neither a gift or a blessing
It’s a treacherous climb
Up a glass wall
Followed by an inevitable downward slide
I breathe
The fowl air of the rooster’s call
Another early morning rise
And still
not even a shine.

Scented Leaves
Flowery fragrance sorts divisive airflow and cooperates amidst plethoric aubergines that bathe breathlessly, brushing raised exemplars of strewn unfurled chartreuse fronds, lain in the wake of humble pattered feet enthralled in its tangy betrothed crisp path,
Ingratiating themselves against engaging tickles of countless laddered leaves being crushed, bursting citrus piquant squirts that flavors a blessed orangey tawny forest of verdurous lime greens and lemony leaflets of carpeted existence essences,
Autumn gifts a luminous prism of extraordinary combinations touching rainbow eyes to favor, and unimaginable pleasure of incalculable noses to savor, as per crowning Heaven, immerse its creation re sun-drenched over-shades lathered in a pool of multiple redolences.

SCENTED LEAVES

Elephants and Asses
By Franklin Price
1/3/2016
Elephants and asses
It's oh so apropos
They represent the parties
We know that it is so
The elephant throws it weight around
And stomps feet to and fro
The ass refuses movement
To go where it should go
Seems to me that's how it is
Neither will cooperate
There's no negotiation
Both of them are second rate
Conservative or liberal
It's only just a name
The public are the referees
To officiate this foolish game
There are so many penalties
That's what the game is all about
How either makes a touchdown
Guess we never will find out
Both think they've won if there's a tie
At least the other's not the champ
If anyone cooperates
They're traitors to the other camp
The loser is this country
There will be no Super Bowl
Until the Elephants and Asses
Get their heads out of the hole
Aesthetic melodies that carries the waves to dance
The sweet voice of an opera singer flew by in the wind,
As the sparkling sapphire sea cooperates the tunes to enhance
Being forcefully driven to her seduction you are sinned
The fishermen by the ocean lusted for her, yet fear’d
Her melodies will fade into the salty ocean air with tunes untuned
She would vanish into the deep cerulean world and disappear
Under in the depths of the waters of lukewarm, she crooned
Her slippery fish tail brushed against the ligneous boats,
Tangled hair with the smell of seaweed lured them like fish
With an empty wooden frame that remains afloat
What the vengeful creature sought to seek had already fulfilled its wish
On the monstrous rock that sat in the mist of froth, she hummed
She awaited her luscious prey to enter her irresistible world has yet to come
Twisted minds don’t think straight
obvious signs…don’t wait til it’s too late
they’ll choke you until you barely breathe
make you see the light…
hope you still have faith
do you still believe?
twisted minds kill innocence gently
kill you in your sleep
If you don’t learn to sleep lightly
beg your forgiveness…kiss ass backwards
Reverse psychology…
wonderin’ what’s next
thinkin’ like “The Following”
don’t you dare run around in fear
just run to me…I’ll hold you, I swear
protect you from guilty pleasures
twisted minds love games
no measures...
bipolar…they stray North and South
one day sittin’ high up on a cloud
next you’re in a slaughterhouse
all I could say is you better escape…
from the mentality of twisted minds
before bipolar cooperates to terminate
and you’re six feet under
with no chance to recover
Written by Aleasha Martin
the expectation
the thoughts
the beginning
the end
the dream of being that one
the fire to place within
the hope of being completely happy
the body that cooperates
with the mind that resonates
the faith that continues
to defy the reality of pessimism
the choice of faithfulness
the choice of hope
the choice of believing in me
the choice of Belief...
That was a golden time of my life,
When I and my friend play a lot,
Nobody has complain for children,
Sun grows and dies we never care.
Very few police comes on a round,
Very simple, on a bike and had a stick,
People’s crime was only theft or
They make illegal alcohol to sell.
When police raided people feels shame,
Their dignity and honour was respect,
A Crime committed person hears all,
And cooperates to change himself.
Although people were poor but loves,
That was only their living base,
They believe to borrow things,
They ran to share if anyone falls sick.
When police got a motorcycle and gun,
Crime also gets changed criminal people,
And police shared their benefit to rob,
Both hands to befool the system.
If they arrest a criminal honour a rank.
If they don’t arrest them get bribery,
When police got a gun criminals got stain,
When police got stain criminals got Bomb.
In many respects the corrupt police,
Never cares for murders and rapes,
When someone was killed in village,
Police enjoys a day as a celebration.
Sometimes it is hard to say and hard to decide.
When a person believes in him and had his pride.
Sometimes is easy to say and easy to decide,
When he cooperates and proves a greatness of mind.
Everyone is sensible and polite; they all have a mind,
Few of them know that how to use it for a heart kind.
Everyone has personnel beliefs and respect,
They develop honour and regard as they act.
What is yours and what is mine, we have a fight?
How can we remove crime with an educational light?
You are working to satiate yourself as I also work,
Your eating is as my appetite behaves as a shark.
What is best and what is bad, we fail to decide?
You are better and I am also, it is our pride.
