Long Humbler Poems

Talk therapy
among braver angels
and curious devilish advocates,

Evolves natural contemplative thoughts
of healthy minds and bodies
felt sacredly neuro-systemic

Organic
dynamic systems
reconnecting sensory consciousness
and mindful sexual experience
with worldviews recombining
Liberal YangTruth and Conserving YintegralBeauty
in co-empathic compassion

Nonviolently hopeful
win/win bicameral intelligence
exploring why

And healthy...

Dear Sue,

I am remembering our strong negative responses
to the young woman who surreptitiously read
her aunt's very private diary,
filled with vulnerable statements
of the most intimate nature
and transparently lusty spirit,

Yet, though secretive,
then took a bold black marker
and...

If we don't know where we are going
this morning
this day
tomorrow
this week
this month
this winter
promising spring

Then we will continue to feel stuck
repressed
depressed
not impressed
with monocultural threats
and monopolistic climate traumas
of random stressful win/lose
and terrifying lose/lose
loss of agency to choose...

Perhaps from my childhood, it had been my burning desire,
To glance Nirmal Hriday (Pure Heart) - a home I did admire;
At the thought of Kolkotta - Mother's house - my heart did churn,
To be with...

Casting All 'My' Gods Aside!

Let us cast Gods aside if false praise buys salvation,
our actions make Grace less germane (bring us blessing),
and pride (I am ‘saved’) means I judge those who aren’t!
Let us praise God...

What does it mean to be immersed in the waters of true love?
To be completely vulnerable; by her eyes willingly held captive.
I had constantly pondered this question in my inexperienced mind. 
Having found my answer;...

It is not as simple as merely changing one's name
You must understand the cauldron before that came
And the hustler's hair caught fire burning into red anguish
And the water is disconnected to out the wish
Something about...

1. Faith
I know people who view life through 'lenses (rose-colored),'
and others who 'trumpet' God's death with "Heil Hitler!"

The first group attempts to cloak naked ambitions
in translucent fabric and dreams their sin vanquished
(because they purport to...

Just Your Average Sinner
I am just your average sinner,
sly glances say, I am second chance, time around .
I spin mediocre wildest-dreams
in rundown hope hotels
I am just a pretty sinner with a
dusty trail of lust

Poetry Defined

I’m a poet; you’re poets, and Poetry’s “Christ,
As God’s Word” meets the cross, where Love’s Truth, ‘Grace’ sufficed,
To absolve men from sin! More proof Satan can’t win!
All flesh dies (in God's Wisdom?) Man’s poetry’s...

I was standing in front of 
A small roadside tea vendor,
In a city called Guwahati.
It was a pleasant morning,
In that otherwise dusty metropolis.
While I was enjoying a cup of ginger tea,
Under an exceptionally clear blue...

From the ancient lands of Mesopotamia,
A story of friendship and love,
Of a king and a wild man, united,
In adventures that took them above.

A man of strength and fame,
But with a...

Pride is a motivator,  a stimulator of scarlet soul
an accelerator to the next glorious goal
generator of newcoming awakening
cultivator out cunning the unkind
cutting away all the doubts and flouts, leaving the babel and rabble behind,...

Nestled in the hills of the northeastern plain
live the humblest people on earth
They're the neighborly folk of Modesty, Maine
plain-speaking and modest from birth

Every year in cold mid-December
the Humble Trophy is bestowed Friday night
As far back...

Thou art no migrant bird, O Pink Beauty,
But forced art to fly many a long miles
Looking for fresh habitat and water,
In search of new breeding and nesting isles.

And in this search of a shallow wetland,
Ye...

Earth's urgent need
for humbler heroes
finds unenlightened me
clinging to early fears
and angers
muttering loathing
and festering hate.

Meanwhile
Brother Integrity 
and Sister Humility
notice global health potential
is already therapeutic blessing
co-arising traumatic warning

HealthClimate leading toward
win/win Integrity
and Humility
regarding past wounds,
afflicting and afflicted,

When you were in front of me, your eyes
cut through me, they could expose me.
It took a while, but you broke me.   Just then
I caved, took my thorny heart and fled.

In those primitive times of long, long ago
when behemoths wandered the land
when mankind was wicked and ruthless and raw
and battles were ever at hand.

An unruly unrest reigned on the earth

How do I judge
people who wear fine clothes

Hippocrates, nothing else!

I have worn trendy clothes

Soon We Celebrate the Day
By Franklin Price
12/22/2016

Soon we celebrate the day
When Jesus Christ was born
Most likely not the actual
Historians are torn

No question that it happened
Doesn't really matter when
Christians among us all agree
He came to save...

No one visited his grave today
No last respects did anyone pay
For his mortal soul did no one pray
No tears were shed when he passed away

His bank account’s balance was awful high
To accomplish this, anything he...
