I saw something today I've not seen for a while;
it didn't last long, but nonetheless, it was a smile.
Alzheimer's had hidden that part of you from me,
and yet, suddenly, you smiled, and I got to see.
And I want to believe it was deliberate,
for the meaning behind that smile seemed explicate.

EMPIRICAL FEELINGS
intangible mysteries
so expressive
a dimension
of
sentiment
subjective sensation
paradoxically
essential
to temperament
present
a
different challenge
in the cultural climate
a permanence
espoused
that overshadows
a sensation of life
perhaps a
pretext
deeply sublimatd
a
perfected vision
circulated
emotive in potential
imparted
by
rhythmic intervals
in permeated spheres
a
strangeness
to meld
its inimical essence
so
essential to temperament
giving
a permanence
unique to identity
in
a
network
or a connection
with
perceived
sympathy
an ornamentation
pursued
to
explicate priority
& formulate
the search
THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

First the sounds were voices self-confined
Like distant whispers pricking at his mind
And he, confused could scarcely reason them
Nor question whether source he might consign
Then they tolled like death-bells in his head
And he thought how right were they who said
There are none to cipher, knowing him
He would much the better off be dead.
Next they came as friends bestowing only good
And havened him about as one protecting should
With white, sterile walls to explicate his whim
And think that he will come to rest in solitude.

Poetry or Masturbation?
Let's take three minutes if you will, to try to fathom rhyme,
Not hard, or sanctioned by the crowd (their 'faith' that tough's refined)!
Are you the kind, who leans toward rape by strangers with your time,
Who dreams that fool's gold, salted earth's investment to be mined!
Orgasmic pleasures of the flesh too short for you? Try verse!
Time man might spend on poetry is rarely a lost cause,
Or thought, lost leader! Glad or sad, verbose, or short and terse,
Where free verse drowns in 'prime time' soaps, most rhyme shows meter, laws.
Applause the crown for souls who share some vision of the heart,
Disdain cheap thrills as carnivals, but view all love with pride,
Who explicate when words short shrift a meaning they'd impart.
No poet's prose, saint prophesys, the Church Christ claims as Bride!

I suppose,
implicit in any explicating form of evolutioning theory-talk,
a revolutionary verbing thesis
progressively implies mindful intention
assuming ethologically growing function
deepening and/or widening what makes and feels sense,
spatial and/or temporal,
some health-explicating and/or pathology appositional implicating purpose
beneficial and/or harmful to anthropoids,
to all Earth's living-organic Tribes,
to all Ego/EcoSystemic Earth,
to all Animus/Anima Souls,

Please let my essence fumigate
And may my passion fascinate
Under this stone I liberate
Of hopes and dreams to integrate.
My song, my tears, they consecrate
A curse to all that denigrate
My oath tells truth to explicate
For unknown evils procreate.
To God, myself, I immolate
As there’s no ways to mitigate
This hole, I lie, you decorate
My spirit hopes to incarnate.

Your best investment lies in God’s hands
Which guarantee life, love and boundless care
Regardless of kinds and types of lands
Which your feet dare to walk without forking out any fare
In kind or slush cash
Men and women whose whims
Reduced at death to mere ash
In their temperamental and sentimental teams
Depending on their tricks or moods
Choose to dole out
In their woods
Filled with mood swing and doubt
Until to the core of your mind
Comes the realization
That in men and women
Lies neither your salvation mission nor determination
To bring to fruition the destiny
God in his purpose
Chose not in your mutiny or calumny
But from his original source
Because in the end only God has the wherewithal
To anticipate, explicate, facilitate, replicate success in your every need
Without under fire a retreat tactical or strategic withdrawal
To ensure that your dreams, missions, portions and options succeed
In addition, God loves you too much
To let you continue to fail
Within every critical touch or dream bunch
In your heart, your home or in your self-inflicted jail.

I remember when
we asked about the quality of schools
before buying a house.
Now we know,
whether house shopping or not,
the educational outcomes will not be good
however better some than most,
yet now we need to ask about the quality of the local police department
before selecting a house
where they might prefer battering rams to open doors
over a more civil knock,
might prefer shooting to asking questions.
I remember when
we asked how liberating from wars
and violence
and oppression
our political candidates could imagine
and rhetorically explicate,
hope to promise.
Now we too seldom hope
for such vision of lofty and deeply rich heights,
and we need to ask the Government Economic Analysts
how many more will lose basic health and safety care-receiving,
because we cannot choose to care for all
in the latest version
of the virulently fascist anti-health bill.

A good friend,
Is like a trend.
That none can explicate,
But can only be dictate.
They are like psalms,
Graced with lovely harms.

Seated alone; a room full of blank and emotionless faces.
The murmur on with unimpressive tones. Failing their attempts at using alliteration, morphemes, to name just a few. How can the educated, lack the simplest of appreciation? Life's little gifts, such as poetic beauty or powerful prose. Instead babbling on with mindless banter. Never scratching beyond, the rough exterior. Lacking the knowledge, even to explicate their products. Believing literature, nothing more, than words upon paper. Never to experience, the hidden beauty, within words exposed.
