The Bottom Line

Let’s admit it and get it out in the open
That happiness is overrated, over emphasized
And hyped to the detriment 
Of basic sanity and balance.

But the bottom line
Is that freedom is what we really need
And what when we get
Makes happiness a pleasant impermanence.

REMEMBERING MY FATHER LETA

As the pencil is being sharpened 
And the ink is being refilled 
The pieces are coming together
As the memories are being emphasized 
And the truth is being revisited
The picture is showing itself
What a poem?,

It is man
Who had capabilities 
A life full of possibilities 
It is a father
Who had dreams
A life full of accomplishments 
The seed,

As the writing becomes writable 
And the writer acknowledges her writings
The pieces are showing an individual 
As the recollection of events are coming under the surface 
And the thoughts are being revisited
The picture is showing the owner 
What a poem?

when echolalia mimics itself

boxed into self-inflicted confinement
reverberations intensify shackles 
towards the pinnacle of circular charge

blow out the fuse they emphasized
we need a circuit breaker for the echo
when the surge reaches its pinnacle

thoughts and beliefs amplify the crest
of what turned out to seem a battle of words
a coat of arms painted in repetitive darkness

polarization and confirmation bias within
a closed system insulated from rebuttal
dead end roundabout impasse and stalemate

as the echo filters reality illusions concur 
with distortions half-truths of corroboration
testimonial endorsement of fantasy worlds

when the sieve becomes strained and deluded
the drain overflows with misinformation
perspectives must change to reframe the mind

ample proportions need not succumb
to fortified chambers of stagnant circles
hashtag rehashing in order to heal reflect

Murphy's Law: REVISED UPDATE

*NOTE subtleties emphasized in their articulate closures contain a quantum message.  

I think we're in trouble mate
why, what's wrong
I saw the pilot reading a manual
was it how to land a plane in a storm
no, how to fly one
???---!.

there's no life preservers on this ship, mate
I heard this captain say that the ship has a full complement on board
so what does that mean
well after the ship sinks
we'll just sit tight
with no life preservers
there'll be plenty
just wait a while
give or take ... !

IT IS SO SO IT IS-My SpokenWord

"It is so, so it is
I know way before
Deeper, deepest inside from above through and below
It is so, so it is
It is real, more than a feel
Is is so, so it is
Express agreement
Emphasized that so it’ true
Cause truth rest in truth
Stands above not beneath
All awe, intrusive agreement affirmation
"That’s the way it is,"
 Or "that's what I heard too."
 It is a way of acknowledging the statement 
And indicating agreement with it
It is so, so it is
"It is so" is a phrase used to expressed agreement
And so to emphasize some things are true or certain.
"That’s the way it is,"
 Or "that's what I heard too."
 It is a way 
of acknowledging the statement 

Halleluiah,---
It is so, so it is
Halleluiah,---
It is so, so it is
 It is so, so it is"

Surface-Level Cleaning

I burned your placemat.
A sunny yellow flower.
I used it at my desk.
It was ANOTHER thing I had ruined.
You emphasized ANOTHER.
Another thing I can't do right.
Another thing I took.
Another mistake.
It left a mark on my pristine, white desk.
A caramel brown.
I tried to get it out,
But it stained the table.
My scars are all too close to the ones on the table.
Both marked by their mistakes,
Both marked by other's mistakes. 
Bruises that won't fade.
Scars that won’t heal.
Paint over the desk.
Sew the placemat.
Let’s do some surface-level cleaning.

A Word

In the midnight's hush, a word was whispered,
A message destined for the Mooli's own kin,
A task entrusted to the son's devoted heart,
To carry forth, to the one he loved from within.

Transformed, he became a modern-day Hosea,
Urgency brimming in every fiber of his being,
Men from the outskirts of the grand capital concurred,
Driving double cab trucks and sleek Subaru's, agreeing.

Their voices echoed, the elders' wisdom shared,
The word held weight, they emphasized the plea,
"Ask her to undergo encryption," they declared,
For unciphered thoughts were vulnerable and free.

In the realm of secrets, protection would be sought,
To guard their love with an encrypted embrace,
Where only the chosen key could unlock the code,
Securing their bond in a clandestine space

Talismans

The
imagined force is recast and concentrated into an inorganic
material.

Intentional,
possessing the owner's future with satisfying
charisma.

The
talisman, as some are known to be, is the resulting
changeover.

Better
days lay ahead of the object holders, who will be the subject of good
fortune.

Prehension
of one's life worth and outlook will be exceedingly
awesome.

Blithesome
accesses the favorable
heart.

Impart
the wealth produced, amongst
others.

Effectuators
are doubly loved for that
realization.

Fruition,
when done unnoticeably, is agape
love.

Hereinabove,
the exceptional natures are
emphasized.

Harmonized
beginnings are the effects of the talisman's
aura.

His Little Self

His little self, of
Her angelized
Through heavenly love
Is emphasized.

Placed in that tender
Guardian care
New-found, is re-traced
Rosy and rare

What, for innocence
Babe's, pure dawned on
Of that lady's smiles
Smiled back upon.

Vitis

It was the work of her hands
that gave flesh to her speech;
her persona made vocal.
Gestures were needle-point,
stitching words into sound.
She talked with the eloquence
of quick speaking fingers,
with hands that emphasized,
underlined, swept away, challenged,
motioned, mentioned,
mollified, mimed, beckoned,
warned and added warmth to her words.
Her hands sewing and patching together
articulations for
the far-sighted and for muted ears.
