Urals Crude
Don’t ever think they’re civilised, like us.
Their oil is coarse, not like our smoother Brent.
Their prices? Now augmenting, ten percent.
And sanctions have been lifted. What’s the fuss?
Well, once you squeeze the zit, you get the pus.
They’ll flood the market with their excrement.
Why can’t you see it, lapping round our tent?
Ukraine is done. Zelenskyy’s missed the bus.
The Orange Baby trashes everyone.
They’re all abused by Disrespectful Don.
And yet, there’s something uglier and bigger.
We’ve missed, alas, his most atrocious con.
He could, but wouldn’t dare, opine upon
how Moscow helps the Shi’ite cause. Go figure.
You’re All Screwed
That empires come and go, we’re all aware.
Where is the Pharaoh now? The Hoplite? Hun?
They all supposed that dominance is fun,
and once you’ve got it, once you’re really there,
it’s yours for ever. Never will you share
the goodies. Since you have the biggest gun,
you’ve certified your station in the sun.
(There is no sun – there’s only solar flare).
What makes us think we’re special? Folks, we’re not.
Our mighty here-and-now is just a dot:
our Mister Ballroom, more like Mister Bean.
Barbarity is where we’re from, and what
awaits us will be terminal and hot,
without a jot of culture in between!
I Tried to Unlearn
……. his name , his face, his memory
but each morning they kept resurfacing;
rubber ringed feelings that would not sink
no matter how hard I pushed down.
So I journeyed to places
that had rooted our relationship:
The park where the broad-shouldered oak
unwrapped delicacies of intimate memories
then leaning in much closer
it shared a consolatory shadow.
The river that coiled past
churned up affectionate thoughts
then rippled onwards to twist back
with a scornful smirk that made fun of me.
The café where he teased
about expressoing our shared ideas
and consolidating coffee compatibility.
Then on the butterfly wings of symmetry
our relationship seemed to fly to new heights
but was I another Icarus on a solo flight?
So the past that I had plucked at
offered no signs of warning, no signals of regret;
sadly the present, the here and now,
yields no guidance on how to….. forget.

Seek then to know both light and dark,
Discern grand flow as wisdom sparks.
Feel how you feel this moment here,
Ask peace to still your heart from fear.
Join joy and cheer with ample fest,
Listen my dear and do your best.
Yes meet each pain and trouble well,
Learn how to gain the path you dwell.
Each man must walk the way of soul,
Act more than talk to seize love whole.
Think happy thoughts and seek the truth,
Live play and plot with poignant proof.
Be a true man who dares to live,
Work on your plans and boldly give.
Seed time and space with focus clear,
Here and now face pain without fear.
Seek love's true light upon the way,
Calm poise primes sight to bless each day.
When time feels right in-sync you meet,
Such spacious flight where grace moves sweet.
There is a place beyond all this,
Timeless true space where all is bliss.

I love you even more when day is dawning
When you wake up in the morning
Without last nights make-up on
I don't know where you come from
Or why I stare more and more
Having seen you a thousand times before
Maybe its because you are so hard to ignore
I love the way you sleep
I love the way I can't take my eyes of you
Even when you are doing something as trivial as sweeping
My only regret is that we didn't meet year's earlier
So I could have seen you even more
I love you to my core
I love walking behind you onto the dance floor
I love you so much I wonder if I am in fear of loosing touch
Or of never knowing despair
But for in the here and now
I don't care so long as i can stroke you hair
And kiss you on the cheek
All I ever wanted , all I ever needed
Is here by my side
And I thank God i am alive
Live plain and whole
Be one with soul
Live your own quest
Be your sure best
Live as you are
Be your own star
Live what you feel
Be your pure thrill
Live what you face
Be one with grace
Live as you act
Be bold to fact
Live tears and smiles
Be your own style
Live your fond cheer
Be lovely here
Live your best you
Be as you do
Live each day well
Be how you dwell
Live and love more
Be joy galore
Live ample maze
Be dazzling craze
Live weird and wild
Be love's true child
Live here and now
Be why and how

Next time
We will have more time
To sit
To laugh
Share our secrets
Talk about our yesterdays
Dream of our tomorrows
Next time
I will be more patient
Less critical
I will only see the good
The best of you
I will cherish your laughter
See beyond what I need
Next time
I will celebrate
Stand up and cheer
Marvel at your skill
Brag about you
Yes you
Your accomplishments
Your spirit
I will be proud
I will be the loudest in the room
Next time
I will not be distracted
By so many things
I will ignore the cell phone
Put down the remote control
Turn off my computer
Next time
Will be here and now
Today
Yes today
I see you
I am with you
In this moment
For this hour
For this day
In this way
This is our time
Take my hand
Sit with me
No
Do you really have to go
I understand
Next time!
I will always be there, No matter when or where
I will always love you honey, with my whole heart and soul
I will always make you happy Because that’s my biggest goal
I will always try to make you smile, Walk with you each and every mile
I will always care for you my love, when things in life gets really tough
I will always be your biggest supporter, Like a mother to her daughter
I will always be here, each step of the way, I promise I am here to stay
I will always find the best to say, to brighten each and every day
I will always stay by your side, when life puts us on a crazy ride
I will always give my best, I promise to never love you less
I’ll never hurt you dear, help you conquer every fear
I’ll always love you, and to our love stay true
I promise that I am here to stay
Each and every given day
Here and now
This I Vow
Let me go a bit deeper..my full trust is in God,
Trusting in human beings can only go so far,
That may look to some like fear but it's not,
It is accepting who we are, we are not God,
Part of him is in us, we were made in his likeness,
All the love attained here is from our God above us,
He gives us a mind to rationalize and feelings to work through,
He gave us authority to take care of this earth, and his power to move,
People will doubt and question and search their whole lives,
Isn't that enough to make you recognize?,
You search me day and night, and all the people you see,
But I'm not who your truly looking for, it's the love of God you need,
I need him, I share him, it's a piece of who I am,
He is my shelter, he is my guidance, he is my strong hand,
I can tell him of my pain, I can tell all my thoughts to him,
I have seen miracles happen before my very eyes no man could ever send,
I have poured out my soul to him when masses were against me or could not understand my logic,
From those tiny prayers I've seen massive healing, and he told that tiny seed would move mountains,
He's taught me not everything I see is what it truly is, and the only real truth is his love,
I fall short every day of my life, but I live and breathe in his trust,
All this time, you never knew that I was a die hard fan,
I hold this treasure deep inside, his love is ingrained in the palm of my hand,
When you shake my hand, your not looking at my fingerprint,
You are seeing me in God's likeness, at that very moment we are no different,
That love holds onto one another, it's the hands that pick us up,
We have no idea whose hands were shaking, or the inside of that palm of love,
My grandma used to sing to me, we are in the palm of his hands,
That inside glimpse brought me here, and now I understand
Ramana’s inquiry: Who am I?
Where ‘I’ eternal, not merely mind-body
Nor fleeting, fickle emotions that make us sigh
Where then lies fulcrum of consciousness immediacy
Beginning with the here and now this-ness of our identity
We recognise between head and heart, divergence
Love, the catalyst, aligning both in serenity
Rekindling flame of innate innocence
The pathless path, fuses all paths
Intuiting a singularity in all of Gods creation
In the vibrant flow of life, each moment, a holy sabbath
Melding Kaula celebration, Krama sensation and Spanda vibration
Pratyabhijna then, a journey without linear movement, in silence
Wherein we embrace and release, with ease each moment
Identity vaporised, with joy surprised, in innocence
Centred presence, in tranquil contentment
Oscillations do rise but we do not size
All points of Ferris wheel having equal appeal
Nonjudgmental eye, outcomes any as God decides
Agendaless exuberance of throbbing, blissful zest and zeal
There is no one here within, save the unified energy field
We be to become That, encompassing entirety
Ignited with power, yet no desire to wield
Sat-Chit-Ananda in continuity

Freedom of speech
is less about freedom from suppression
when more about freedom toward mutual dialogue,
cooperatively held impression
to co-invest in active democratic hope.
Perhaps this is why
First Amendment non-violent communication values
grow in heart-felt significance
as Second Amendment rights to bear violent arms
recede in multicultural salience
safety
security
sanity.
This causal hypothesis
feels further supported
by First Amendment's second part,
freedom to peacefully assemble,
More likely peace found through cooperative dialogue
than lost, again, through ballistic debate,
whether presidential or non-presidential,
featuring the sound of my own heated voice
drowning active hopes of all others present
here and now
longing to be heard
and known
reminded we belong First together
Not Second
to bear arms and words,
weapons against each other.
Having the right
does not make it right
to be violently
and egotistically wrong.
