Premium Member Economic Wounds
My capital investment wounds
don't define me;
they refine MeWe
into Earth's green peace
win/win strategic barrier
beyond which lies win/lose
and EarthLove v AnthroLife
nihilistic
entropic lose/lose
co-arising degenerative gravitation

MeWe have become
tragi-comedically
Me v We
on this good Earth
healthy and safe timeless
ReGenerative Day.

Trauma refines my...

Like Wingless Birds
I can tell you about the elongated nights.
The pain and agony endured to the soul.
The hammer of reality that aims to chisel at my pride 
until it resembles a statue of anguish and defeat.
The way...

Adonta Ta Mele
Running cracks of lead flaked paint, spiders across the front door like a grandfather's
forehead. 
Its hinges squeal from years of inattention and forgotten maintenance
Floor boards moan a song of dismemberment and forgotten age
While musty gloom...

The Thief
I was young when you started stealing from me,
teasing away my freedom, corruptibly.
I despised you as soon as I recognized you,
Like I was born to be repelled by your presence.
And yet you kept returning, like...

Ligament Hinges
Lines reign rectangular beyond widely 
sombre dour density of inhabitants 
Living rendered responsible behind wisely 
secure doors definitely insure us

Neighbours harbour unfamiliar stories
Measureless textures hold untapped instruction
Sectioned protected fences forbode inquiry 
Composite dismissed in driveway's...

New Normal
Choose chivalry in the new millennium
Hounded by instant institutions
Vying in the main to inhabit any cranium
Prone to proclivities prohibiting and inhibiting affections.

Inject zeal and steel
Into backs bent on the Facebook platform
Where puny posts reel
In discomfort...

between the life time of a star
and your personal trauma history?

Could it be for you,
as for me?

to get from regenerative beginnings
in dark caved

BlackHole wombs

What Was the Human Error
Was it the death of the child,
playing in the busy street,
where traffic frequently exceeds speed limits,
in neighborhoods like this one,
even in summer evenings when children gather
with stick and ball?

Or was it the single mother,
who allowed...

Insomnia
Insomnia; a sly sprite inhibiting
the subconscious making it freeze
in mid-motion.
Stillness of the day regardless of
time the mind struggles to release
itself from the clutches of the
scaly paws of the sprite itself.
It seems to marvel and laugh...

Premium Member Of Allegorical Wrinkling
Once again we’re wedged in a wrinkle
of time in our lives; a wrinkle that can’t
be so easily ironed out and pressed away.
Yet the ironing board of solutions remain up
and challenging steam continues to gush out;

It dares you to lose it again, so you can seek to find it...

Pleroma
Our telescopes revealed no empyrean
curious eyes wandered through the dead interstellar depths
dwelling in the faint light of distant stars
gliding like cold gusts of wind
whistling the bristled reeds of our catechisms

We carved saviors from birch

Today
Today

I am going to let go
Relinquish worry
Set free doubt
Let faith guide me
To pastures overrun with heart’s desires
Today I live in the present
Absent of all those things inhibiting living in the now
Boldly dreaming up a future...

It comes from the depth of my soul.
Its intensity is alarming
It stifles my growth

In its full capacity, it is crippling

Premium Member A Poet's Reason
Poetry is less about form,
and more about content; 

less about tradition, and 
more about personal light
and revelation – 

such penmanship, 
truly missals of meditation, 
cannons of Spiritual-occasion, 
for celebration and sharing – 

Seeking less to...

My today’s find me mired in a sea of pills,
Which extend life, while inhibiting my living it.

spread as paint, at the volition of the artist.
Whether smooth, colored, sincere, or acerbic,
Those intended to hurt are always the...
