High Tide

High tide
sadness billows
swells over me in waves
massive, silent, overwhelming
melancholy ocean engulfing me
flailing, drowning in emotion
or maybe I'm being
too dramatic
only-

It feels
that dramatic-
my universe slightly
out of orbit or alignment
something strangely out-of-kilter causing
all things to be thrown off their course
too much wind and pressure
in atmosphere
storms surge

Drifting
on swift currents
rudderless, out to sea
swept toward an isolated
island, far removed from humanity 
pulling me farther and farther
from the reality
of what could be
wind-tossed

Landing
on shore, lonesome
building small raft of hope
shoving off at nightfall, to sleep
buoyantly, trusting by morning I'll be
somewhere else- maybe better or
not, but different than
here- can't be worse
I think...


To Be Inhaled

Micro-particular molecular particles whose properties carry less mass at any given time typically are airborne, only to be respired and absorbed through means of respiration. 
Exhaled only to be once again; inhaled. 
Trapped inside inner linings of esophageal passages. 
Buoyantly escaping; light-like-quick. 
Tumbling like a cyclonic feather.
Blue rays with ultrasonic transfers of unconditional compromises shine light on this symbiotic shrubbery. 
Rif-raf relief is a resulted byproduct or so-called "nuisance dust."
Unequivocal numeric figures comparable to such matter, couldn't positively identify with no such indication. 
The previous possession will remain under further investigation. 
Breath in.
Breath out. 
Tumbling airborne once being transferred or transformed. 
De-composition turns flesh into bone, leaving behind symbiotic shrubbery; discarded rif-raf. 
Rispired and absorbed through means of respiration. 
Exhaled only to be once again; 
Inhaled.

Keeping Up With Society

How does an old man as old as me
Keep up with the changes in society 

Men can be women, old men can be girls
Pronouns can be mx or they, or hers

Abortion is healthcare through faces proud
Is said by the bearer who echoes the crowd

The word “marriage” has changed from the ancients
Is nothing pure? Is nothing sacred?

Positive and negative no longer are compliments
Now we’re the same cos no need for supplements 

Sport now reflects the querying of boundaries 
Like robots obeying we are and non-binaried

All whites are oppressive without a choice
Everyone else sings in harmonic voice. 

The floodgates opened in 2014
Homosexual marriage the new morphine

All institutions now deceitfully captured
So called progressives buoyantly enraptured

The decline of the west has left me behind
But eternal truth is on my side.

Work Em

Push 'em, pull 'em, dip 'em, and squat'em.
Whatever you do, just don't neglect 'em

Aptly say no to loose and flabby
And yes, to tight 'cause loose is too shabby

No gym membership, Bowflex, or Peloton?
No worries 'cause pushing, pulling, dipping and squatting
will never be outdone

The mission is to push, pull, dip, and drop
So look good, feel good, and once you start, you're not gonna wanna stop

Walk it out too and allow the arms to buoyantly swing
A nice heel-to-toe flow; now listen to the heart sing

So push 'em, pull 'em, dip 'em, and squat'em.
But whatever you do, just make sure you never forget 'em

Dolphins

Watch the aquatic mammals reigning warm waters
Riding ocean waves zestfully flexing playful behavior
Jumping high in air performing acrobatic maneuvers
Synchronizing movements impressing fond watchers.

Be dazzled by their graceful moves peeking up for air
Turning around buoyantly raising caudal fins in pairs
Diving elongated noses under great depths of ocean
Resurfacing with gallant jumps stirring up emotions.

See a dolphin show joyous amid human interactions
As gray mammals emerge like torpedoes in action
Looping in air artfully, bowing to cheerful reactions
Dancing on water regally evoking rush of passions,

Admire as they toss a ball delighting in jovial acts
Walking like penguins to rise and kiss human hands
Splashing water impishly they rejoice as kids laugh
Dipping under water to perform upside down dance,

Amazing to see how they obey human instructions
Jumping through hoops upon listening to directions
Adorning choreographic motion for grateful crowds
Waving hello intelligently as people loudly applaud,

Don't miss gracious goodbye as they retreat in style
Being aware children are grinning with lofty smiles
Saying thanks, rising high-up to accept their reward
Brilliantly they pause to acknowledge the applause.

Anthem For An Introvert

A fitting anthem for
an introvert like me-
Simon & Garfunkel's
scrumptious harmony
of “I Am A Rock”
spoke oodles to me
in its painful poignancy
bouncing buoyantly
on declarations
of independency
needing no one
utterly free
encased in fortress castle
with books and poetry

I was a rock, an island
a party of three
just I, Myself, and Me

Until he came along
and proved me somewhat wrong
as icy waters receded
I found that he was needed
an “island” no more-
I became a sort-of peninsula
with somewhat rocky shores

Yet, sometimes I still hum it
or belt it right out loud
“I Am A Rock”
ever my anthem
away from the peopled crowds!

Premium Member In the Blinding Light

With their last goodbyes, they walked away
                         Disappearing in the early morning light
                        Glaring, the pedantic clock leads the way
                        Warm, wrapped in a gauzy cocoon, tight
                        Blissfully euphoric, sedated, waning sight

                      Whizzing on a gurney, through silent halls
               Wide-eyed doors open to a curious fishbowl of faces
                   Swimming in a sea of floating green tiled walls
         My consciousness, serenely traveling into nameless spaces
           Buoyantly riding in a tunnel of luminous cloudy embraces

              Peace and tranquility arrested the restless soul in me
                    Immersed in the warmth and gift from above
             In a blinding light, he stepped forward, so I could see …
      My time had not yet come; these words, He spoke with love
                   Returning me on the wings of a mourning dove




                              Faded voices, I could hear
                    The haunting cries of babies born today
                         My eyes filled with regretful tears
                Life on Earth I must live, vowing not to stray 
           Until my work is done and He calls me home to stay.

Days

Days sneak up on the sleeper,
Either anticipated, or scorned
To the pessimist, they are dwindling,
And to the bright eye—they carry on beyond our selfish minds

Upon the wakened dreamer,
Days draw on in a smiley haze,
Keeping one buoyantly bouncing inward
Outnumbered and overlooked—he is opulently occupied elsewhere


To the seeker of truth,
Ancient, though ageless are the days before him
Crouching along the edge of tomorrow—seeking always more…
As days billow like robes cooling long-trod legs gainst the Eastern sun

And to the beasts and birds,
Feathers, claws, snout, muscle and bone— all harmonize
Instinct and passionate drive hurling precious life onward,
Their days meander freely, like knowing feet on familiar ground

1. Newton's Laws of Motion: 
Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
4. Quantum Superposition:
A particle can exist in multiple states or places simultaneously until measured.
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                    
Oliveros accordion's honeyed 
          drone flows over chimes
    with a soft whistle buoyantly fluting
In between breathes of characters.
         We loiter, extraneous,
     entangled lives in a state of limbo 
Dreams flicker as Schrödinger cat. 

Every interaction sends a wave,
         and feelings clash within~
     The force of love rivalry
is restricted by intangible powers~ 
         As we sink into quiet depths,
     Entropy seeps into aged patterns. . .
Instantaneous movements fester,
            and longing is frozen in clarity.
       Thermodynamics set heat gain or loss,
                     divided by warmth yields entropy~
Word pulse changes color. 
  
Sound travels across time and space.
                  Redshifted craves blur instantly.  
            We hunt memory cobwebs, 
       navigating over this light-and-dark maze, 
   constantly seeking the quickest path. 
 Dreamt corridors bend toward us,
perception distorts the fastest trip home.   

                  All actions have consequences~
             We are moved by inert forces,
          as time-etched Newton laws.
      Rebounding moments shape kismet.
   Choices teeter on fate.
 Body rhythms align with, 
physics quiet concerto.    

                    Schrödinger hoped for our serenity.
                Life's diverse quantum spectrums, 
           each unseen wave or particle is strong,
      each minute, a heart Doppler echo, 
   becomes clearer as entropy slows.
Each action balances the other.

Premium Member Sun's Son

Riding the light of a new sunrise
Reflections of the earth
Caressing my soul, my hope
With serenity focused on the heart
Who knows light absorbs imperfections
Breaks apart dreams so they whisper
Kissing cheeks softly, buoyantly

Music silences the heavy warmth
As a new dawn echoes wisdom
Faith binds the hurt, releasing pain
Into the morning, throughout the day
Sunlight climbs toward the azure
Skies who know only praises
Like rainfall saturating the earth
Stirring feelings of grace
Pieces of a faith so amazing
It teases flowers and feelings
With promises of healing, a willingness
To open its eyes to His gifts

Inspired by the sunrise, the hope
Pouring out joy, laughter
Into the moments, the daylight
Sighing as it shades the dreams
In the ultimate peace – the belief

Nothing on earth can quite compare
To the evidence of His life
Stolen by the rising sun revealing the Son!
