Twenty lines from my twenty poems

My only dearie!
In you, I live my world so sweet.
Even the mirrors can't hide your beauty.
In my heart your love grows like planted seeds.

it's you: my life; each day dreams of.
Drag your heart in, we'll never depart,
Since true love can't just be bought.
Then you will know that emotions can twirl.

Happiness is what is seen in your mirror.
Even if your love keeps making my eyes shy,
I can never again decline,
Your love will just be my sole attraction.

Its glow, the mirrors define.
To your heart I plead, be in my kingdom,
My heart has a space for your reign.
So far your love will be there without fail.

In the front of my life's golden mirror,
Many sweet songs, my mouth would sing;
Praising your good deeds, the best real thing.
As you made your love available for me to trust.

March Madness II

There is another March Madness
and it also happens every year,
there are shouts, cheers, and a tear...
I wonder if you can make a guess?

The fans - they dress in all sorts of wild gear,
and there are office bets placed all around;
the brackets are made and are NCAA bound
and no Madness is the same from year to year.

Can you guess what this thing I rhyme is all about,
or are you like some who really don't care?
But watch and you'll see some amazing air
for basketball fans - March Madness carries real clout.

Now I know this isn't about the blues,
but I wasn't in the mood to make you sad,
so I wrote this piece, I hope you're glad...
the March Madness cure - Basketball shoes!

God Just Says To Love

GOD exists with in HIS OWN definition of existence of HIM only
peeked up saturating zenith of material acute sense can’t even feel HIM
being of true utmost devotion with immaterial sense where and when blessed by HIM, 
HE knows only
just blessed one feels HIM within his heart and soul for His blessing Only
told by Jesus and many in this world…..so they are the best sons of THE GOD THE ULTIM MOST
GOD exists not only with in tenses He is more than that’s tenses of time and time’s all tenses
No endless multi calculations of plus minus divide and of all the brackets can trace HIM
HE just says to love HIS creations obeying HIS sense leaving all selfish calculations

Premium Member Harvesting Thanksgiving

I have been finishing up Sacred Economics during this time of fall harvest and thanksgiving. I have enjoyed this read especially as I add in vocabulary and analogy from my background in Permaculture Design and Community Development.

Eisenstein's economics of a more beautiful world 
follows the ecologic of health, 
like a richly embryonic egg-yolk 
pulls its developmental compost 
from environmentally vulnerable, 
ubiquitously transparent, 
gooey natural norms.

So, this gives me cause for regenerative thanksgiving, 
in this Earth-optimizing time 
of Co-Falling and Co-Arising Harvest.

One illustration, my additions in brackets: 

"The money [health] system we have today 
is the manifestation of the scarcity mentality 
that has dominated our civilization 
[and threatened our wilderness Commons] 
for centuries. 

When that mentality changes, 
the money [health] system will change 
to embody a new [eco]consciousness. 

In our current [competitively unhealthy] money system, 
it is mathematically 
[and logically]
impossible for more than a minority of people 
[and species] 
to live in abundance, 
because the money [health and beauty] creation process 
maintains 
[yet also struggles with] 
systemic [economic and political power] scarcity. 

One man's prosperity 
is another man's poverty."

0-sum, win/lose 
health v pathology 
me v you
mind v body
yang v yin 
man v woman
1 v 0
full v empty
transcendent v immanent
commodity v humanity
competitive
all v nothing value system

Ignoring Earth's ecologic 
of cooperative empowering health care, 
like a richly embryonic egg-yolk Commons 
pulling in developmental compost 
from environmentally vulnerable, 
ubiquitously transparent, 
gooey win/win enlightened
bicamerally intelligent norms

Individual ego-static Left
languaged passions
AND 
individuating eco-ecstatic Right
languished co-pleasures
like thanksgiving
and joy
and boundless compassion
for others
as for ourselves
loving others
as health-wealthily co-invested
as win/win possible
in this TaoCommons Time
in this sacred 
vulnerable
and transparent
EarthEnvironment

Doing our win/win best
to sing and speak 
wealth's passionate wisdom
while dancing and acting 
health's co-pleasuring rhythm.

“When we pray for the Spirit’s help...we will simply fall down at the Lord’s feet in our weakness. There we will find the victory and power that comes with his love”

WINGS FOR FEET

imagined he’d be strong with wings for feet.
he climbed the wall. . . unstrung his ankle hit.
the weep sustained — a shattered soul retreat.
(((a-ha))) the shriek of demons force feed fit.

the drool of woes, destined for thievery,
addicted to the pain and its killers.
it’s vain to float the thought ‘recovery,’
the slain, groomed black and blue with cruel chillers.

the teenager becomes a man, deep-drained.
he’s been to court. . . rehab and lost all hope.
((sad eyes)) look down. . . his up — at cross sustained.
the wings of ((good)) will carry him sans dope.

abstain from grip — unstrung from evil trip.
Adidas feet — the zephyr sweet - unbound.
his six pack abs confer he took a sip
of Living Water’s cup. was lost - now found.*

** My poem, Wings For Feet based on true story. It is not the perfect walk one has before God but the habit of walking with Him. God doesn’t turn his back on you when you choose him but changes you day by day as you are covered in the righteousness of His son Jesus Christ.

Premium Member Thou Shalt not Kill From My Special Devotions

Our Heavenly Father gave us this commandment 
for a very good reason.  Ever since Cain killed his
younger brother, Abel over an offering to the Lord,
violence has been rapidly accelerated.  As we all
know, God destroyed the earth during Noah's time,
because of violence.

God instructed Noah and his family in Genesis 
chapter nine after the flood.  Genesis 9:6"Whoso
sheddth  man's blood, by man shall his blood be
shed; for in the image of God made he man." 
Clearly , then because we are created in his image,
God instructs us to respect human  life.

Genesis chapter  thirty-seven describes the Great
Plot. Because Jacob favored his son Joseph, his
elder brothers plotted to kill him. His brother, Reuben,
spared Joseph's life.  Reuben planned to rescue 
Joseph and restore him to their father.  Joseph's
other brothers, however, sold Joseph to a band of
Ishmaelites on their way to Egypt.

*(Abraham's eldest son was Ishmael of the
flesh but not the promise. And Sarah's servant
woman was an Egyptian named Hagar, 
Ishmael's mother.)

A modern court (of jurisprudence) would have
sentenced Joseph's brothers to a long prison
sentence for their plot against him.  Even man's
justice pays a token homage to the commandment,"

"THOU SHALT NOT KILL."*( Is the sixth commandment
out of the TEN COMMANDMENTS.)

[ Many blue states and their sanctuary cities 'Have a
catch and release policy, especially for illegal 
immigrants, regardless' of whether it is classified
as a Class A felony or not. ]

Those who commit murder shall not inherit the kingdom
of God. "For without are dogs, sorcerers and whore 
mongers,and murders! The Love Verse, John 3:16
says," For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life."

Freedom


A bicycle is freedom 
It's not just wheels and gears
It's more than bottom brackets 
It's more than front and rear 

It's freewheeling down steep hills
No pedals, feet up high
It's becoming young all over again
With hedges zooming by

It's finding winding tracks and lanes
It's getting muddy, wet
It's getting caught out in the rain
A love you dont forget

misjudging potholes in the road
And landing on the side
It's grazing knees and bruises 
An exhilarating ride

It's falling in the Bracken
It's walking flat tyres home
It's fresh air and a peace
It's together or alone 

Im back to being 12 yrs old
Exploring places yet unseen
It's going out for hours
To where I have not been

So look beyond the handlebars 
The sprockets and the chains
This is perfect freedom 
Will make you smile again

So free the bike now from the shed
Clean  rust from off the frame 
Set it free from cobwebs 
You'll never be the same

Ella's Enchanted




                   O, I see you're coming back to Ella 
of the Cedar's Tale, more and amore, 
as she gets between your skin, like a beetle at bore. 
Lang-wishing, fang-wishing her wiggle, 
at open door stairs case on her forest floored.
This tales tail like a Cedar, mystery umm'biblical, 
Laurel lining in-cyclicall of 
Maples that get swathed, 
in rainy season's roots spreading tows 
in brackets math tables of shoots and ellipticals.


In shadows deep, 
where whispers weep in the will o's 
the shade desperately tries to cover 
her in-seep of soil, like a tree snake in coil.

Ella of the Cedar, her name echoes clear,
a flame in hearts, dancing ever near.

The Cedar's Tale, algorithes, quickened, Time Ago.
A story sung where the wild winds blow.
Her spirit fierce, like a fire untamed,
a haunting melody, forever staking claim.

Lang-wishing, fang-wishing, the night's embrace,
unveiling enticing worlds with ethereal grace.
Her voice, a river of silk, in moonlight's glow,
imbued with sapporon, a delicate flow.
Washes a ways canopy, Kimono.

This ancient grove, where memories reside,
Ella of the Cedars, she'll forever abide.
Her resonance lingers, like a bittersweet sigh,
a poet's muse, beneath the moonlit beams 
taking a bite of darkness in injection plunge and hallucinogenic strobe of light, slide.

So let us listen more, to Ella's whispered lore,
feel her essence as it stirs us to the core-
occupying like a lush dream.
In her words, emotions seam to adorn,
a garden of feelings, once in dormant sea, 
now align with the O Pines scent of new winds whip of greenery creams to soothe like a suave poultice of potpourri over the mind pine al g land ent C.

In every verse, a wish song''s awakening, 
sultry synthesis,
a bud delicately reaching for the light, 
in a chamber of trembling treble, 
naughtiness probing.
Lyrics to linger, imprinted deep, 
like the rings of a tree as 
counting your time of bondage..
Stirring souls, 
harvesting their reap and frontage 
of fond-agery.
The story continues beneath 
the eventuality of hopes chest 
pounding, hearts in the surrounding raw, 
pump of primal, Forest maw.
Ella sets her sights...

Premium Member A Tribute To Cage and Solitude

I am here (solitude)
   and there is
     nothing to say
those who wish to get
somewhere
          let them leave at any

moment
          what we require is
silence (solitude)
but what silence
requires
      is that I go on
           talking

give any one
    thought
      a push
it
falls
    down easily
                but the pusher

and the pushed
                     produce
the entertainment
called
                     a discussion
shall we have
      one
                   later ?
or

we
      simply decide
not to
have
discussion (solitude)
whatever
you
          like
                but now

there are silences
    and the words
      make ( & ) help make
the silences 

I have
          nothing to say
and I am
saying it
and that
      is poetry
          as I need it
(and my solitude)

                (in my silence)

Premium Member Thanksgiving-Us-Forward

This is Thanksgiving Day, 
so I want to continue my interior conversation, 
made perhaps too exterior, 
by quoting from Sacred Economics, p. 123, (Charles Eisenstein)
about "flow of abundance," my nuance in brackets:

"Please understand here that I do not mean to deter you from opening to the flow 
of abundance. 
To the contrary--
because when enough people do this, 
the money 
[and health] 
system will change 
to conform to the new [cooperative] belief 
[in optimizing health as wealth]. 

Today's money system rests on a foundation 
of [winner v loser] Separation. 
It [disassociation]
is as much an effect as it is a cause 
of our perception [and evolutionary enculturation] 
that we are discrete and separate subjects 
in a universe that is Other. 

Opening to abundance can only happen when we let go 
of this [ego- and anthro-centric] identity 
and open to the richness of our true, 
[Earth]connected being. 
This new [co-arising] identity wants no part of usury." 
[but is drawn intuitively and rationally 
to (0)-interest co-operative, 
regenerative,
co-invested, 
primal, 
ego-health is eco-wealth co-passion.]
