Long Back to basics Poems

1) Preamble

As breath’s created, sustained and destroyed,
we see trika, threefold aspect at play
through life, where we are by ego decoyed,
until we choose to make love our mainstay.
Beyond religions, scriptures and folklore,
let’s explore the direct path...

Allow me to be disgusted at the jest
and your halfway happy surprise at the end result
of the missile timed precisely:

Did he just splatter?

And allow me to feel the brunt of the bruising
upon my saddened heart,...

TODAY MY MATE SAVES MY DAY... 
From spiraling into unconstructive decay, 
Plugging my volcano of negative gossip & hearsay, 
Planting productive advice to direct my way,
Removes pokey cacti from under my feet,...

assured by its strength and muscular form 
Ruled by Venus and of the second house
A feminine introvert or negative...

Discrediting plausibility 
by shredding their humility 
to a place of vulnerability 
devoured by inabilities 
cowardice incompetence 
showered into consciousness 
empowered causing confidence 
validation found in compliments 
a false sense of accomplishment 
resort to intense punishment...

Spinning laughter and giggling all through the night

The Tree of
Knowledge 
So there's
electricity like
force fields around
the earth
Stemming from the
Earth's inner core
Where outside on the
grass in bare feet
Back to basics
having the Earth's
inner core recharge
you
To get into your own
inner core
To grow
Ans spread out ward

Is she the one my heart belongs to
Is she one I can sing this song to
Is she the one that makes it worth it again.
To love again
How scary the thought of losing
Control again.
Is she the...

Only time will tell the outcome of this rhyme,
Whether it will succeed in the nick of time.
So better safe than sorry, as they say,
A good beginning makes a good ending, I pray.

Now with the 
branches so bare
They don't have a
care in the world
The snow will keep
them warm
Everything and
everyone slows down
To count the snow
flakes
Howling winds in
search of a mate
But the animals have
excepted their fate
And don't argue with
Mother...

Arise from shackles of darkness
Sometimes choking your light
Pinching happiness and meekness
Coercing you against your will to fight

Light as the way to salvation you choose to lose
Amid shadows in your doors that lengthen
For no reason as...

And all their opinions will never change, because of their age
Seems like today's time, the gap has become more extreme
Now they wear their caps backwards, don't use...

Let’s go back in time and sit for a spell,
all the way back when life was pure hell.
Back before trials in a lawless land,
when vengeance was served by our very own hand.

Think of your life...

Within our heart, we feel I Am presence
Our hand goes there automatically 
Soul enlivened by light of innocence 
Joyous love pulse glowing magically

A Wondering What to Write......

a wondering
at what to write was I,
really pondering
at my station,
of trying to push on through
a thing that all scribblers hate;
a writers-block of all things.
no what, when or where
not a skerrick from...

What is his name?

Where are we going?
We are all on a roundabout to somewhere,
Some of us are conscious of something called God.
Some of us are conscious of nothing but greed.
Where will it take us this...

Late night party
Board games and booze;
Happy laughter romps

~~~~~~~~~


Whiskey aged
Booze on the rocks;
Mellow fragrance

~~~~~~~~~


Blessings loiter
Smiles on faces;
Party mood

~~~~~~~~~


Purple sweet potato
Warm soupy dessert;
Zest greets fresh

~~~~~~~~~


Evening drizzle
Hazy darkness swirls;
Raindrop orchestra

~~~~~~~~~


Scary movie
Late night interlude;
Impromptu shocks

~~~~~~~~~


Once again
Slumber's limbo sensations;
Sleep talking...

Tossing technology out the door
They say life is what you make it
I'm going to make it a natural world

The stars at night will be my candlelight
The open meadow my unmade bed

You go eight years to medical school
To learn to cure our ills,
But it seems the only thing you learn
Is how to prescribe pills.

A little pill for that.
A pill to make...

Cruising along can be a breeze,

Back To Basics


Let's walk the country road and faithfully
keep cadence with the heartbeat of the wild,
where life, unveiled in naked truth, sets free
her gift of innocence. Just like a child,
unblemished...pure in body, mind, and soul...
finds...
