Long Disappointingly Poems

The photograph that Tim had shown me a few hours earlier certainly did not do it justice.
From what I could see it was a large triangular shape on three legs which were all at a...

Fraught With IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome...

today – late morning of November 4th 2022
sudden onset experienced whereby
whooshing waste naturally flushed out
ala mine body electric performed colonoscopy
diarrheal gangbuster instigated
maybe Machiavellian microbe
with powerful rectal surge
analogous to invisible plunger

COUNTERFEIT LOVE
By Madalitso Jasper Mwaungulu

Painless emotions display the hurt in my butt
My eyes twinkle like little stars
As the watery flow shine out
Reflecting the captive freedom you put me into
I am a free prisoner of love

Pushed...

Buddha is deeply listening

My esteemed teacher
kindly reminds me,

"To see the master
not as a [merely natural] human being,
but as the Buddha himself,
is the source [and resource]
of highest blessing."

But,
not necessarily the deepest blessing
for all EarthBodies
seeking spiritual multicultures

When you hear justice
do you also listen for responsive mercy?
Or are you more likely to feel merciless revenge
against uncivilized behavior
swelling vibrant adrenaline 
baptizing your self-righteous bloodstream?

If revenge is your best defense 
against chaotic complexities of...

My roots of Creator worship
are fed and watered
by Creation appreciation
and curiosity  

Whether this might also be true
and sometimes disappointingly false
for you

A resonantly sacred
sometimes prophetic
heart

With a resilient
health developing
ecosystemic mind

For whom my tricky part,
or one of...

I swam inside the Mediterranean Sea.
In what would be my Glory Days, off Valencia’s coast,
I dipped my foot in freezing water;
withdrew it; then dipped it in again.
(I’d always had my own will even then,
just didn’t...

Appetite was growing my eagerness of eating,
Family was annoyed and waiting me for grapple,
I were rushing and acting for them defeating.

The variety of foods were lying on the table,
A nice smell was pulling me to...

When just a young boy, an older girl was teaching
me to dance. Unfortunately, she failed at the teaching,
and disappointingly, I failed at the learning.

So, I have gone through life without dancing.
That is, until one day...

Perhaps it was the most unappreciative gift:
a pen and a composition book wrapped in red paper
imprinted with Santa image riding his sleight...
I expected toys I could play with after school or later.


My sisters received many...

If minds could be seen,
we could take them out for a walk,
show off a bit.
Although we would have to
leach and muzzle most of them
like dogs.

There would be, with luck,
a few cool cats
but most minds would...

A
photo
was taken 
by my friend of
a house he’d looked at.
Once it was developed,
he noticed in the window. . . 
the faces of frightened children
peering out! Magnified, that photo
showed towering behind them. . . a demon.

Another COVID Holiday

in an ever increasing
rate of replanting
the seed was spreading
through the population

a seed so small
as to be microscopic
should remain insignificant
no outward effect dramatic
though COVID’s social influence
global impact near atmospheric
I eagerly wade into holidays
mandated to...

The pain, the mistakes
The heartbreaks
I stand not to stumble over
But for me, it’s-over
Crippled
When it was death before dishonor, I cried
When it was the truth before lies...I lied
I walked crooked
Life..I over looked it
Crippled
I asked when no...
