Love, version 1: reflections on personal experiences of love, inspired by reading bell hooks

Wounded by its lack
Distrustful of it 
Inured to its absence 
In thrall to its allure
Fooled by its simulacrum
Estranged from it 
Paralysed by fear of losing it
Inexorably exposed to it 
Resolved against it 
Consumed by longing for it
A scholar to its foreign texts 
A slave to its compulsions 
Compelled to search for it
Forever 
Hopeful

Experiences of Otherworldliness

Alice embraced the warmth 
of the bitter-sweet liquid concoction
Curiosity of "drink me" caused this 

Swirls began to know no limits
Ground twisting and breaking
The sky accumulating thick constellations

Up through the opening of what appears to be a magical mist
Alice wonders what this is
Quickly, the world changed, or was it Alice

Entering what seemed similar to Saturn

California Exodus

                      ~California Exodus~



No, I do not seek your agreement!
After living in California, I find a predicament.
It feels like I have a brain filled with acrid cement!

If you want to live sanely and quite well,

Attached to Childhood

The threads we weave in the early years
Define the ties that hold our fears
Attachment forms, a hidden thread
Guiding the paths where we are led

Some reach for love with open arms 
while others guard with quiet alarms 
The past, it molds the way we love
A blueprint written from above

My paper seeks to lift the veil
To understand

FORGET THE FOREVER

You, me, seashore, one place, one earphone,  
Coconut with two straws—one ice cream, two noses.  
Cold winds, but your warmth wraps me whole,  
Two souls in one sweater, hearts beating slow.

Sitting under the moon, watching him chase the clouds,  
And that night, love, I realized how foolish I’ve been,  
Calling

TIME

TIME

Thought of all the seconds,
That went like a mist at dawn.
Tried to hold all the minutes for lifetime
But it flowed like water with no grapple
Waited for the hours of fortunes that I desiderate
As you are the sun that quenches every soul of an incarnate
But being in you can burn the spirits with fiery fire
Hastened to

The Picnic of Living

Life was never meant to be a fairytale
But rather a copulation of incidents
That improves our knowledge base
By creating experiences to learn from

Life is more like a picnic
Good food, entertaining company
A soft blanket, sunshine and a cool breeze
Making a perfectly planned day to enjoy

But with each picnic a few blips must enter
No equation is precise when

Post-Morden Juke Box Experiences

There are time capsules in the rural Mid-West,
not retro constructs, but temporal dislocations
that remain as was,
for lack of a reason to be other.

Small town restaurants are steeped
in a comfortable inertia;
diners serve
all broasted, broiled and breaded everything.
Amish noodles nestle in thick white bowls.

There are still drive-in movies
where movies once missed
can be missed again.

We have bars where

Dear Carpet On the Floor

Dear carpet,
I really admire you.

From the hellish flames
Of stinky toes
And shoes, and paws,
And the cat’s dirty claws
You look up and gather
The pieces of life

Good or bad
You don’t care
Either way,
You’ll keep it there

But now I’m burdened
With the tormenting task
Of erasing those memories
And cleaning you up

Resilient Peak Experiences

Gayla Speak Experiences
promote healing events
not intended to contribute to trauma
drama narratives.

Stories we tell
and trust
and thrust
and softly smile about
when we dare to leave
our stiff 
stiffling closets.

RedYang 
universal dominants
friendly feasting
with BlueYintegral
unitarian intent

Together praising massively thick
and deeply embedded polarities
of nearly omnipotent 
erect and hard patrimony
loving MotherEarth's holy matrimonies,
compassion

Transcending monotheistic challenging attitudes
failing to question long-term outcomes
of dubious commercial
graphic success,

Orthodox Experiences

I was bruised by dogmatically non-evangelical
Christ monotheistic Jehovah judgmental bad faith
of divine powers
equally entitled
to generously create love
and selfishly act out of jealousy

of worship omission
and secularizing commission

Prescribed and proclaimed
by the inspired
and kleptocratically negotiated

of AnthroSupremacist visions

Life Experiences

life is full of experiences, something that you need to learn..
but there is no experience without practicals..
and no practicals without a man..

We hit the rock so hard sometimes..
We create beautiful episodes sometimes..
Each of these are different experiences..
Experiences that we must be ready to learn.
But when you fail to learn from them..
They will come again and

A Hoary Man

A man with a hoary haired head
From shining black to innocent white
Carrying wisdom and experiences
Is the man to live with history
Which can't be tampered and distorted
His life carries the evidences of 
Any past wars and massacres
Any past incidences and disasters
And now is our turns to become
The witnesses of the global epidemic Covid-19
Are you feeling proud
