Be of Good, Compassionate Courage
Dandelions…
They flutter, now I see
Fiery lions…
They're dancing with me
Sunlight…
Come out and shine down 
Moonlight…
Shun out my darkened frown

I am the infinitesimal stars in the tranquil, terrestrial night
I am the scars minutes before the sunlit dawn...

Premium Member Misguided Meditations
I am sorry
about my judgmental,
sadly disdainful,
tone
in earlier messages.

Even worse,
I remain embarrassed
for spreading it out
for key staff
and leaders
to well-positioned see
and hear
and feel,
touched by wounded toxicity.

My training 
and experience
includes victimized by homophobia
and healing through community mediation.

Within this...

I Should Try Again
You wouldn’t look me in the eyes
Because you were afraid of me, reducing to lies
Betrayal begins to bleed out of your scars…you were the color of Mars 
You bit the bullet and you are shining...

Bemused and Flustered -Part 2-
The messages you send me puts me on Cloud 7…
Sweet love of mine…
That’s why I meet up with you at 7-eleven…
You’re looking fine…
Not everything lasts – I’ve learned…
All the messages – all have burned…

Premium Member Finding the Plot
Finding the plot

Of lost innocence
engrained in untold memories

The silenced absence 
in past present unspoken
stories well hidden
and therefore evoking
my past and my future
not mine and mine

Quite a mind-field
mines bombs blazing
artillery burning houses

My antecedent shelter of
generational tapestry
knotted...

Premium Member Boundary Issues
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
multiply...

Humane destiny erupts with Alpha Yang

Premium Member Refined White Values
While trickling thick amber honey
in my black decoffied coffee
I wonder why I never noticed
until just ever now

How refined white sugar
has monopolized my wider full-hued view
of more nurturing nutritional brown sugars
natural bio-resonant sweets
healthier sugar-phosphate cooperative relationships

Silver Lining of Hope
Talking about it just kills me inside
This feeling of wanting to simply hide
My pride is broken...

I just want to get high, high, high
Got to strut my stuff - can’t deny
Low self-esteem - it’s...

We R Ok
We're okay, okay?
God is awesome
I must-must pray 
I am - should I say this? - handsome
I have low self-esteem issues 
Nothing new...listening to my muses of blues
Without having any clues...
That I'm in the similar shoes...

In My Life
There’s positivity ashore
I don’t love you anymore
There’s positivity elevated
Used to being so jaded

In my life,
I have dealt with strife
In my life,
I want a winsome wife
In my life,
I have lost it all
In my life,
I will stand...

nothing but this everyday on repeat

Turning Anguish Part 1
5/21/11-5/22/11
I rule over the night
undaunted with all my might
I have time to spare all I can bare
Watching the hand chime 
tugging…pushing…shoving
through whirling toil
that feed the spoil
Perplexing strife
refusing to give up 
Power and torment

I awaken to the woodland scent 
of a favored fragrant herb.

Its aroma transcends nocturnal bliss
and then softly seeks so gently to kiss
the distant lingerings in my mind.

Of a cherished place where I had laid

The Service
These are the words that were said:—;—:
Mentions of solitude and authority:
Debates on whether you were the ruler,
Or God. 
Or perhaps I was the ruler, as you are fiction,
And I am your creator—God. But who
Created me?...
