The dawn spoke her name like a silken secret
carried carefree by the tradewinds of lust and larceny
imported from the traderoutes of paradise and pandemonium,
sequined with violet venom she venerates the virtue of volition
her love is unlawful, unequalled in unrest, righteous in conquest,
tender in temptation, torrid your surrender, her beauty a will bender,
Queen of Empire Passion, warrior unknown to submission
her kingdom was not inherited, glory and throne ungifted,
the treasures, stables and territories, battles and crown all won,
rich in intellect, endowed with rare resources, affluent in original passion
bejeweled in natural beauty, she bewitches beasts and men alike,
Poets pen her preciously as Woman Total, Priests implore her pardon,
male servants pander to her anger and ardor, satisfaction she commands,
Sisterhood the symbol and soul of her mission,
I was just a man, a wanderer wading through her reign,
from the unsubdued North I came, a curious traveler with ancient name,
my tribe unfamiliar, underestimated, a Chieftain of steady pulse,
tresspassing towards her roots my aim was direct knowledge of her
woman of renown cunning and learning, woman of exotic ability,
seeking teaching and romance, though I would not be her Subject or victim,
this she knew, this she abhorred, a challenge to her dominance,
I agreed to meet her alone in the open morning of war,
in an abeyounce of gliding fire she comes riding out of the sun
regalia of black roses against red tears flying above her shoulder,
our horses begin a battle tromp, breaths heavy with moist mania
she has leopards in her eyes
poinsettias and death's palms painted on thighs,
scalps of exlovers and enemies slung on sadle
we acknowledge one another with ritual yell
I exclaim, Warrior Poetess, she screams Poet Warrior!
dismounting with mutual vigor our combat erupts
cutting my cheek with her blade's lip
kicking me in the ribs
I clinch her collared throat
and heel trip us to the ground
she snarls, I growl,
a glimpse of rescue in eachother's eyes -
J.A.B.
I speak in LeftBrain dominant
because all speech is Left/Right indivisibly prominent.
But, at my LeftMind best
at least I speak against colonizing oppression
repression of creolizing co-acclimation,
suppression of RightBody emotive intelligence
for health and nutrition EarthTribe loyalty,
wildly enthusiastic radical feminist fealty
enthymeming ancient eco-speakers
silently acting out with trees
in full moon clenching dreams.
I sing in RightBrain effluent
because all non-verbal muses
and myths
emotive mists are RightBodied
non-dominating communication affluent
With respect for bilaterally graced
EarthTribal nature/spirit-laws
nurturing health and nutrition compassion
cooperatively-held by non-violent revolutionary ecofeminists,
Matriarchally silent singing
within MotherTree reverse-hierarchical nurture memories
root systemically experiencing renewing moon motions
disinclining night-mare
dark muse of re-memories rebirthing
curiously courageous pro-active hope.
See autumn dark reveal bright stars,
Touch warms to feel the skyline space;
Arc of light sparks twinkling so far,
Reach beyond will that brilliant trace;
Lift upwards stare across mist swirls,
If we but know night's festive flair;
Glimpse how our cares syncs with good earth,
Here watch full show in chilly air;
Thrill in fond touch of joy that grounds.
Choice flavours well soul's inward gaze,
Apt moments nudge grand wonders found;
Note lavish spell that channels maze,
Observe the shine of stars above,
Prize affluent lines in glowing love,
Yes scripts most fine like scented cloves.
Attest clear signs like hand and glove!

Hamlet Place, ACT
Glimpses of more linger with cheer,
Reach beyond touch that lovely feel;
Affluent thoughts spore more health right here,
Niche more than much true wealth that thrills;
Dance in the light of fond surprise.
Ask then to be your best self now,
Blessings put right life's ample spice;
Urge joy to free what love endows,
Nurture a tense beyond mere time;
Deed flavours tact to seize this day,
Allow good sense to know deep rhymes;
Note simple acts that fund more say,
Choice captures cheer as sizzles stream,
Embrace love dear in precious dream.

Mingled with the rural soil of Nazareth, he laboured
He played with the rustics, who were quarrelsome yet loving.
Farmers, carpenters, ironsmiths, weavers, and the shepherd
These were teachers from whom wisdom, like clear streams, flowed, gushing
He pondered along the coast of the Sea of Galilee.
Where the breeze amalgamated with saline sea scent blew
Where fishermen's strife had been a daily reality
In him, the friendliness of the sea folks, day by day, grew.
He found the philosophies and theologies of books
Put into practice by the Rustics in thoughts, words, and deeds
The affluent, on the other hand, seemed cunning and crooks.
Nature held them all in equipollence, mending their creeds.
Each herb, shrub, plant, tree, bloom, fruit, and weed imparted him wisdom.
He drew, by his love, each creature towards Abba's kingdom.
Glimpse that sure style as muse now springs,
Rouse brilliant poise to craft clear chance;
Echo worthwhile ten thousand things,
Arm affluent voice to draft fine dance;
Thrill precious spills where joy moves brush,
Niche finesse wild that frames each mood;
Etch fragrant fill in dazzling rush,
Speak inner child sheer mystic food;
Signal true pulse in sublime say.
Gain that rich touch where dreams come true,
Use firm impulse to dare pure play;
Indulge as such sheer coinage due,
Delight fond craze as wonder jolts,
Enthuse the daze flash lightning bolts.

Peace of mind links
Opt feel and think
Etch fond verse brink
Thrill bold brush strokes
Ink stains now yoke
Charm wit that pokes
Choice paints with grace
Aim joy in place
Live lavish space
Love funds the need
Inch touch that seeds
Glimpse a live feed
Reach words that fit
Ask truth for wit
Prize poise sculpts hit
Heed each clear act
Yield to fond tact
Sense trust move pact
Chase ideas vast
Reap from the past
Insight now lasts
Pen signals style
Trust wit to smile
Seek thoughts worthwhile
Cheer knows warm draft
Odd writes niche craft
New symbols stuff
Calm affluent rhymes
Urge mellow chimes
Ripe fruits take time
Note why soul writes
Odd and strange cites
Words flavour rites

Life is a combination of different strata and classes
with the upper classes feeding on the states of the lower
which is the usual, displayed in most societies and cultures
and such a web between nations even more complex and sticky.
The developed massively profits on the developing
sustaining such a system for the affluent to stay powerful.
Pressing situations persist within their borders
but that of other nations becomes a meat and potatoe issue
while their greed stays a correspondent
to growing territories without a good sight.
They are obese hypocrites seeking for malnourished sycophants
promoting democracy but stabbing its legs in struggling communities
if propagation of governance isn’t favourable to their selfishness.
Merchandise and production from below becomes contraband
to tense such economies and make them perspire
even if a little consideration is reluctantly offered,
the controlled global markets will still sustain the toppers
feeding the climbers with crumbs to soften their bones.
Heavy makeup is the painting on their wealthy faces
to attract the scanty seedlings of the insufficient future cultivation of others
putting growth under a miasma of depression
to militate against economic and political independence.
Nevertheless, a stranger can only manipulate a home
if foolishly allowed to exhibit some level of command.
A major fertilizer to this trending cause
is laxity and mediocrity on the part of the sufferer
which has got so matronly to need meals on wheels
I will not substitute:
Wealthy ends
for healthy means,
Christmas climaxes
for everyday robust Advent,
Yanger
for Yintegrity,
Progress
for creative process,
Visual resilience
for audible resonance,
Objective resolution
for subjectively felt inclusion,
EgoFulfilling analogy
for EcoHealing metaphor,
Unchanging affluent paradigms
for effluent polyphonic polypaths,
Atomic wholes
for wave-linear co-relationships,
Nomial being
for bilateral becoming,
Well-rhymed and metered lyrics
for rapturous musical climax,
Performance
for full mindbody participation,
Winning personal economic growth
for losing integral ecological resilience,
Winning short-term national economic growth
for losing long-term global ecological health,
Retributive judgment and sentencing
for restorative peace,
Red madness
for Green gladness,
Survival
for thrival,
Degenerating life
for regenerative love,
Conservative judgment
for radical invitation,
Brilliant answers
for further acute questions,
Omnipotent principles
for geo-hemispheric balancing experience,
LeftBrain deductions, reductions
for RightBrain inductions, intersectional seductions,
Win/Lose capitalistic games
for win/win cooperative innings,
God the Holy Father
for Holonic Matriarchal Spirit,
Transcendent autonomous theory
for immanent interdependent appreciation,
Theology
for NonViolent Communion Ecology,
EgoNarcissistic MonoTheism
for EcoLogical MetaCultural Gratitude,
Hubris of manifest destiny
for opaque Integrity,
PolyCultural completion
for multicultural InterMission,
Wealthy, competitive economic ends
for healthy, empowering political means,
Ever externally after
for internally Happy,

Dihing, adjoining borderline with Arunachal, on the foothills of mighty Patkai,
In the encircling mesas of terrestrial plains of high altitudes,
lies the Assam Valley's tropical wet evergreen forests,
Named after its thick density of trees and profuse diverse ecology,
the Amazon of the East, the Dehing- Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary.
An abode to the myriad of endangered species, copious floras and faunas, a hotspot, the zone of world's richest biodiversity.
As amazing as Amazon's tropical forests, dark and dense:
The country's lungs like last lowland the evergreen rainforest.
Where the tallest of the tall trees with creepers are competing
for the sunlight forming greenish lavish canopies.
There, the animal kingdom awakens, whoops;
When the light falls, fathoming the density, filters in
The floras with the exotic species: orchids, lianas, epiphytes, are sparse and unique,
The faunas endless, the sole quirky reserve in the country with its' lush evergreen ecological system.
Nestled amidst the most picturesque valleys and hills,
Is reclining the lungs of the congenial climate for survival, of the region
A celestial abode on earth of the rarest IUCN red listed, on the verge of extinct species,
TheDehing Patkai, the richest part of the Sub-Himalayan region, a major carbon sink ecosystem.
.
The Amazon of the East, with its sacred biodiversity hotspot,
is apprehensive of it's extinction
As the relentless injudicious mining and digging,
Has taken away the pulses of the oxygen feeding lush terrain,
Imagine a world devoid of rainforests, where we need to carry oxygen tanks, the most unfortunate substitution!
It's sending signals after signals not to play with its' immensely diverse tropical bio- canopy region;
To save the last remaining unparalleled foliage, affluent lowland from excision!
As no amount of wealth will be enough to save us from the impending outcomes of destruction,
Pivotal to rescue and redeem the Amazon of the East;
the tropical evergreen Dehing -Patkai reserve, the richest rainforest of the region!
