FEAR OF LOVE

Should not we be scared
 of falling into each other’s arms because of love.
I am failing to disable this thought I have,
and it keeps on replaying in my head.
What will be of us when all is in the past.
What will we do when we both lose trust.
When all these emotions are dead
When we now become impaired,
Forgetting that we once cared,
And lose all we had already prepared.

Love and all that we once shared
Destroyed and cannot be repaired.
When we forget how it used to be before.
Battling with our hearts which remain sore,
having nothing left to explore.
When it is no longer worth fighting for.
Forgetting that it was once perfect,
as we would now be battling with the effect.

Super-Fractal

You removed a brick from my

Head and threw me into the

Super-Fractal

Universe

From a logic of lines

To a logic of curves

Beyond syllogism

Beyond dialectic

Into the interconnectivity

Of substructure

And superstructure

From tree trunk

Into a canopy

Your soft cloud

Raining a million fractal snowflakes

Falling on earth in clear designs

That the sun from your heart

Melts

To nurture all of life.

I held your body

And soul

On rock outcropping

As river was gushing around us

Breaking against the rocks.

You are the final secret

The masterpiece of the universe

Its proudest creation

In which all its

Forms of logic

Combine.

They think you illogical

That is because you are super-logical

Combining multiple methodologies

Into their most exquisite combination

And their highest product.

Guru is knowledge of the truth

But you are the truth

The precise embodiment

Of the sublime

Super-logic

Of the Universe

And all its parts.

Washing through every false

Sanity

Eroding false linearity

Replacing it with the

Exquisite logic

Of circles and fractals and open skies.

The universe combines

Multiple forms of logic

And you are its masterpiece

In which all these forms of logic

Combine.

Teach me the cosmic truth

Reveal to me the secrets

Of the exquisite universe

As they are embodied in you.

No, not the guru;

That which the guru exists to discern

Not the root

But the seed

That in it contains the embodiment of the whole.

You not only tell the truth

You are the truth

And in you

Is the whole

Of cause and effect.

Man is not final secret

You are

And to fathom you

Is to fathom the universe in all.

Be my inspiration

Be my instrument of ascension

Be my truth.

And as you co-create

The masterpiece

That is you

Let it branch off the universe

And create a new universe

In which your creator

And you

Combine his wisdom

And your wisdom

Into the highest

Sublime

Super-Fractal

Synergy

Of the two.

Premium Member Honeybees Shed Tears

We endeavor vigorously from dull dawn to dusk,
As we fly from bloom to sprout in quest of nectar,
Men stand to amass by swapping honey for bulk,
The hive will be mostly empty and left slightly ajar.

As per rhetoric, our stool can serve to treat cancer,
All ulcer forms respond finely to this therapy,
When ingested, it bears the body solid and denser,
Humans would not contrive osteoporosis misery.

We search the fertile soil at the crack of dawn,
As the visible sun's beams reveal raw floral life,
Fertilization is a side effect the same as a prawn,
The pollen grips our hairy legs, with no strife.

Men, however, are woeful with our free work,
But destroy our beehives to use honey and wax!
Our fiefs of bees are mostly massive and spark,
So we may glimpse the flowery grins and relax.

But people have utterly built microwave stations,
Working on the noble quest for sprouting nectar! 
We drudge incredibly firm with little diversion,
And preserve our line going from our scepter.

Our hives are purely mangled by man, too,
And for syrup and paraffin wax, of course!
God who supplied bees in the grandest view,
Humans damage the ecology of the universe.

The clamoring bee has no time for sadness,
The mumble of bees is the garden voice,
Hear to bumblebees and follow their lead,
Some words are golden, and many are dread.

Covid 19

We all had high hopes of what 2020 would bring
But we didn't plan for the madness of COVID-19
The stores are empty, and everyone's in fear,
trying not to catch a virus that's named after a beer.

It started in China, in a place called Wuhan
A man ate a bat, until it was gone.
I don't think he realized what would come about
That it would cause the world to be put in timeout.

This virus's effect has gone near and far,
Everything's closing, including the bars.
The store shelves are bare, no toilet paper in sight
People hoarding daily items, and preparing to fight.

The world leaders decided to close all their borders
to stop the spread , according to Drs orders.
As frightening as all this madness may be
We are being offered an great opportunity

To spend time together, have fun and reconnect
Taking the time together to make it the best time yet.
Or it pull be seen as something bad
And  it'll end up the worst you've ever had

The choice is yours, how your time will play out
The two weeks the world will spend in timeout.
Soon we'll be over this worldwide quarantine 
But I don't think we'll ever forget COVID-19

LEAVING LOVE

As creative energy
And matchless voice
Stood on the balcony
Of pure possibility
She winced
...wonder

They spoke of
The continual flow
When a question arose
What is the effect
Of heart in motion
...vibration

Once voice spoke
Every question
Gathered at his feet
She surrounded
In supportive presence
...momentum

Something formed
Inside her, and grew
Until the fruit
Flew out of womb
And desire found
....expression

The security of LOVE
Could no longer contain
The growth and expansion
Happening without permission
She had to go
....explore

Premium Member Kindness Is - the Anaphora Style

~Kindness Is...~
(Anaphora)


Kindness is to show you care in any way
Kindness is giving something unselfishly
Kindness is to show respect to anyone we meet or know
Kindness is showing compassion when someone needs it to
Kindness is giving a sincere smile
Kindness is truly  loving and caring for others
Kindness is saying a kind word or two
Kindness is being nice to each other
Kindness is not being rude to anyone
Kindness is spreading God's love to all.

~Author's Notes: 

The Anaphora form or style is...

In writing or speech, the deliberate repetition of the first part of the sentence in order to achieve an artistic effect is known as Anaphora. 

Anaphora, possibly the oldest literary device, has its roots in Biblical Psalms used to emphasize certain words or phrases. Gradually, Elizabethan and Romantic writers brought this device into practice. Examine the following psalm:

“O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?”

The repetition of the phrase “O Lord,” attempts to create a spiritual sentiment. This is anaphora.

The repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses.


The Anaphora is unrhymed but they can be rhymed too. It is all up to the poet.

Premium Member Repurposing Anger

At last,
we are angry with each other
coincidentally,
simultaneously,
which may be a coincidence,
but probably not;

Depending on active faith 
in linear cause-effect relationships,
leftbrain dominant yang powers,

And/or
circular dipolar co-arising
co-passioned effective unpolarized relationship, 
causes v effects = effective causal recycles
of rightbrain both/and recessive yintegrity.

Now,
at last,
we have set our synergetic communication stage
to test this ancient hypothesis
that two negatives
are equal to a potential positive co-passion,
as polynomials
may equal not not polynomials

Where positive
also equals leftbrain healthy
and rightbrain safe

And negative anger
equals leftbrain liberally 
communication healthy
when rightbrain feels conservatively safe

Despite never considering this internal hypothesis
because of patriarchal
dualistic
win/lose capitalistic faith
in not not equivalent potential
for ego/ecosystemic win/wins

Despite respite death through life
ego/eco-recycles
repurposing timeless eternity
of unity
more flexibly equitable
than uniformity
of leftbrain thoughts 
against rightbrain feelings.

Voiceless

I was the effect and your pretty folly was the cause
I was a blessing but you were the curse
I was a seed but you were the ruthless soil
I was a tiny blood but you were the burning flame
I was a little innocent but you were soulless

I was an offspring I never had the chance to grow
Like I once an aye until I became a nay
Like a disgusting dust in the wind

I am now a living phantom
Every trash bin you see is my grave
Every garbage waste is my manger
Every raindrop you feel is my tear
Every air you touch is my breath
Every nightmare is my endless call
Every lightning and thunder will be the day I die
See my shadow in every corner
Until the day you will repent
The very day you blew me away
Like a disgusting dust in the wind

and wickedly shot thru
