as she strode into my door,
like breath itself refused to move,
fearful of touching her mysterious beauty

But her obsidian eyes betrayed her. 

Sharp and gleaming,
with a silver sheen
she looked at me, 
and...

When two or more Yang Dominants
are in the same room,
noticing each other,
it may be time to leave that room.

We have issues curtailing our co-arising competition
to reveal who can win
our CoElational Wealth Game.

All Yang-voices inside
and outside

Embracing Poetry

Freedom on the lam where the poet sings
To hearts imprisoned against their will;
Inspires the bereaved mind to spring to life
And uplift hearts bloom burst liberated
When pain of incarceration ceases.
‘Gloria excelsis deo’ in the world.

Restricted Life
Human life deserves a platform to unfold
Away from straitjackets of pious scrutiny
Whose eyes, ears and hands feel so cold
They reject freedom and project a mutiny  

Born from the scorn society pours on freedom
Curtailing every...

Comes With a Cost
I come bearing a rare gift,
not something of material wealth
No silver, no gold ...
no diamonds, no pearls
No bearer bonds, no dollar bills ...
no rubies, no emeralds

I come with an even more desired thing,
the most precious...

Belts, paddles, switches, and rulers were once instruments of punishment.
Although very rarely, in my early years, a belt was Daddy's favorite.
I was always a quick learner and never a glutton for punishment.

Neat and Tidy
Rows of green spaces in a row

Trying to control natures flow,

all things wild have to conform,

To fit in with accepted norm.

Cut down trees they block out the sun,

Trim the lawn curtailing fun,

Chemical additives help it...

The debt collector
Knocks on our door 
When we hide
He still enters
From the window

He claims his due
A debt of love
Hidden deep within
Recesses of our heart
Veiled by desires
Mirrored by fears
Rooted in attachment 
To images on a screen

Demonstrative dedication
Easy to entrance the sycophants watch their helpless dance their back and forth swaying and swooning, in cunnilingual somniloquence.

We live in a precarious world when opinions
