Future selves recycle past dynamic imaginations,
Greek Gods as muscular Yang athlete images
evolve from older internal messianic bodhisattva Yin,
double-edged incarnations of power.

It is in this coincidentia oppositorum,
claims Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi,
that the peaks,
the Taoist Tipping Points
of wu wei...

To that man who expresses love through hatred

Poetically impressive 
Mentally progressive 
Addicted to my writing
it’s becoming a bit obsessive 
But this is the medicine 
A therapy for my depression 
Post traumatic disorder
Is the cause for my aggression 
My heart gets heavy

In borrowed plumes, a masquerade we stage,
Thoughts echo doctrines, passions preordained.
From broken families, where fractured spirits weep,
Mothers of sorrow, 
With eyes that never sleep.

We inherit canvases, pre-primed with societal skews,
But the brush trembles in our...

Why do we call lack of boundary issues,
boundary issues?

Why do we call oppositionally engrained
and deep-rooted ego-supremacist instincts,
oppositional disorder?
rather than competitive-dominant WinLose order?

Why do we call lack of WinWin ecopolitical direction,
ambivalence?
rather than equivalence?

Edgy margins of discovery

I'm willing to bet you've never accepted the idea that pain can be enjoyed. Perhaps you've mildly entertained the notion, but never truly grasped it's fundamentals.  Well my dear reader,  we have much to discuss. ...

My last meal, a full plate of your golden excuses 
But any attention means so much to me 
We’re going in circles, 
But feel free to...

Slicing & dicing the 
fabric of time.
Contorting & distorting 
functionality to reality.

swagger broadcasting
Elegance in resilience
Relevant to intelligence.

If only monsters ...
LOOKED like monsters.
If they lurked ONLY in the dark,
Glowing red eyes and chiseled teeth ...
Claws and horns and forked tails,

Solomon,
hate to disturb you
but I have a question.
If I could grant you only one greatest love wish
for how you would develop into your greatest strength
which virtue would you choose?

Well, thanks.
Great question.
Do we have such powers?...

We warrior poets
calligraphy ride boldly into the foggy fray
Our ancient, iron-will pens

We always rolled scroll win ...

O albatross guide my loosed soul  
from the shipwreck seized by sandy shoal

Grisly bared horror jawbones Kristallnacht
totalitarian brandishes, flaunts, launches 
global threat half cocked.

Vladimir Putin itching
to loose nuclear bomb

iterated throughout history

Metamorphosis: a word for butterflies,
Said the science textbook in school,
Positive transformations connoted her young soul.
Age brought in a new realisation,
Life, a one-way road with two destinies,
The darker one a metamorphosis too.

The endlessly bleak days,
Dwindling success,
Slipping...

Peter Pan? He is nothing but a tale drawn out,
a hero of half-truths, drowned in fairy dust,
the dullest side of a double-edged sword.
 
Before my time lost its salt,

Descendent of proto humans
dumbfounded, mystified, stupefied, et cetera

whereby world wide web virtually linkedin

My heart, entangled with lovesick pain.
