Long Elate Poems

Senator Fuller,
a permaculture designer
turned architect of exterior landscapes
then public sector architect
of EarthShip cooperative interior landscapes,
is with us today
to tell us about why he supports Sanders,
at this point in time,
although he is making no commitments about...

Hark and listen well, if those foretoken in the eyes of hungers lust
Trapped in their illusion, trampling the Stars into dust
Forced with the detestation stench by the swamp of absolute disgust
Thou blackest scorpion be accursed,...

Depression is like dying
without hope this process will end well,
without remediation
at least not for my closely held ego-identity,
and despair 
this turning inward
creates a cocoon by avoiding outward.

Focal awareness of ego mortality, 
immanent and emanant,
eminent,
turns inward,
returns...

Those who get,
get more.
Those who want,
want more.

Evolution is not survival of the fittest species,
but thrival of the greatest fit with least endosymbiotic change required
within,
whether we speak of polycultural enrichment
or meta-paradigmatic revolutions in understanding multicultural enrichment.

I will remain still and wait like the night through its starry vigil

We’re just friends, sends a shiver down my spine.
We want to believe, those who know nothing but lying.
We burn alive, while we still stay trying,
all for someone who plays a game of hiding.

And while we...

What mountain’s top holds truth’s last stand,
 its vista viewed as life’s specific grandeur;
 promised above earth’s horizon,
 soon home to you, this present era’s raconteur;
 prized perch upon and soon so manned,
 spirits to...

Your Elysian Killing Fields-
Your soul, my Love,
is the pristine gilded white,
that cascades down from Heaven's summit.
A river that fills me, a dry riverbed,
with your milk and honey.
Your current carrying me along,
to your eternity.
Eternally, flowing along,
your...

As restoring love is our EcoMentoring Shepherd,
we shall not pathologically want
or fear any shortage of timelessness,
we are HereNow,
lacking nothing and no past or future time,
in organic multiculturing meadows
of deep green nutritionally healthy grass.

Earth Hosts our...

Moving through the pulse and the flow
A timetable of fixed dilation
A given
And measured 
Ellipse
To the people it trips
As they ride the crest
Of the waves
Of emotions
Just prisoners of 
Perpetual motion
Never ceasing
Never pretending to be
Anything more

Born into...

He'd return after decades
Spent in imagination. Month
spent in reality. He'd return to the
House of comedy,here,to crack
an heart-taking,wits-arresting,Emotions-
devouring,Land-quaking joke.
He'd return with a robust neck
Seasoned with weeping nerves.
The joke cracker,Let's hear.....

Before he return'd
The gym-ed rodents embroided
with pleasant...

Amazing acrobats astound awe-stricken audiences.  Amy always asks about acts already arranged.

Bouncing bears balance beach balls.  Bobby Bear bicycled behind Betsy Bear.

Crazy clowns crash carelessly.  Carousels circle clockwise.

Daring demonstrations dazzle dazed dreamers....

You wear me down, slow, aching, pain
Barely moving, dull, refrain
Each word a slice, a cut, a grab
a verbal blow, a push, a stab
this wall i exhibit, uphold, maintain
with no support, nourishment, sustain
breaks down, crumbles, falls,...

Daughter more precious than yet to know
Daughter mirror of wife with whom I sow

Sow a princess with a queen
Queen you will be to someone
Queen of parents heart
Heart will overflow on...

Excavations expose stunning skulls of history,
Where-around emblazoned scripts cultures and creatures;
Minds of human beings and their mass mystery,
The whole lot that surrounds them with all true features...

Be it Rosetta stone or Ashurbanipal's,

As my rugged hand caresses 
the 
somber tears flowing from your 
tired
eyes and onto your cheeks
I close my eyes
and think..
I think of your transcendent 
grace
that takes me high into the 
mountain
beyond the Everest and into...

Thanks I would say for the chance to create,
Dreams to elate, and fantasies to stargaze;
Recalling fondly the fun themes of contests
Which frequently I set free on butterfly wings
In gardens of spring on scented ruby winds

In days of yore, when gods ruled and men sinned, 
a tale unfolded, whispered by the wind. 
Etana, King of Kish, his heart aflame, 
yearned for a son; a successor to name. 

Escaping corporeal bounds,...

The shoes display themselves in racks,
In lines of oddities without their partner shoe,
All kinds of people enter and to them make tracks,
To survey, try on these leathers of every hue.
The shoes wait not knowing who...
