Long For future reference Poems

I’ve dreamt of mountains of rocky rode ice cream, dappled with candy
Kisses of purity sprinkled on top, hot steaming fudge pouring from heaven
On high, cascading as if an ocean of water streaming downwards onto my
Fantasy...

For future reference,
it might be best
if I give up radio listening
when going out
to take a rest
from domestic
and national
and international climate mess.

fragrant as a hemlock forest retreat,
we are
and yet become
when in...

Nor the behest of any, except for me.

I’ve mucked around when drinking beer like many other blokes,
who love to be involved when playing silly nonsense jokes.
It’s great to see a ‘bunny’ puzzled and completely unaware
that pranksters are around him, but he doesn’t...

My long-winding EcoTherapist began:

Dialectic Behavioral Therapy sees Stimulus/Response
both forward and backward in time,
to look for thoughts and feeling tipping points
toward more harmonic confluence,
resonant and requisite proportional behaviors
and imaginings
of what may be justly and non-violently discerned

I write the following as a letter to myself
For future reference.
I have allowed my passage through life
To be a journey, and so will I continue
Enjoying every second, every minute as the clock ticks
And I go...

So sudden was the thrusts
So quick the pain fades
That my mind didn't fully comprehend
what it is my body was really doing
I spent hours thinking about this
and i've written countless poems
I always wondered what this would...

TREASURE-HUNTER:

I didn't come this far by chance,
Because I didn't have the map based on my stance.
I'm not a pirate hiding to plunder,
Neither am I just a passenger,
Travelling in search for a greener pasture.
I've confided myself...

I’ve read your status updates
And admit I’m frazzled
Your mind reads like a puzzle
I’m running behind

Much uncovered 
But nothing discovered
Subtle signals. Clever optics 
Quit these tactics
I need time to recover

Some portend collaboration
My approach is one of...

Religious woes has it’s foes 
and often faiths are glitter
Promise success and happiness 
depending on who delivers
Some paint prejudice with broad strokes

Skin color, race, sexuality mostly
not what you think is...

We all slip up from time to time,
And small mistakes are usually fine.
If it’s once or twice then that’s okay,
But come on, please, not every day.

My old folks say they’re set in their ways,
Or that...

A wonderful sight to behold.
Your grandeur is more
Than meets the eye.

From absolutely spectacular bloom
Until you've fallen in grace
Meeting earth, withering 
Like snow with an ebb
And flow of gentle breezes.

Symbolising life;
Powerful, exhilarating, sublime 
Yet short lived.
Reminding...

Is it a poet in making?
Or I have gone astray…!
O my Lord in the heavens 
Then You shouldst pardon me 
For Him, Your beloved prophet.
See! He is accompanying his widow-mother 
To her husband’s grave…
