Premium Member Wild Life Inspired By the Cliffs of Moher

Wildflowers sleeping late on dewy days
Rather than traveling on mountaintops
Two flowers embrace in harmony
Cognizant of nature's patrimony
Thankful for the few good years that remain
Their love gracefully grows time and again

Their patience now merrily thrives again
Wildflowers could choose to question each day
Whether they're pleased with love's years that remain
Times that they picnic on blue mountaintops
Mindful of scenery's patrimony
In a world rejoicing harmony

All nature embraces harmony
Its beauty will gainfully grow again
Flowing through wild nature's patrimony
And rising with the new sun every day
Traveling across ancient, rugged cliffs
Primordial with thousands of years that remain

Here, they seek to triumphantly remain
With emergent nature's harmony
The journeys across grassland mountaintops
With love infinitely growing again
Nature knows to embrace the sunny day
Aware of life's unique patrimony

What breed's nature's carefree patrimony?
What will wildflowers evoke that remains?
Will they take time to value emergent days,
Basking in life's vast harmony?
The cliffside climbers all ascend again
And there emerge challenging green clifftops.

Rather than travel upon mountaintops
Consious of primeval patrimony
Wildflower's bright love gently grows again
Thankful for the modest moments that remain
Wildflowers embracing in harmony
In flower beds, sleeping late, lazy days.

Spring Equinox Arrived March 20th 2021 At 537 Am

Spring equinox arrived March 20th, 2021 at 5:37 AM

No burlesque across the globe
upstages mother nature's emergent style
soundlessly donning and trumpeting
resplendent metaphorical pregnant Gaia,
whose all encompassing bulging robe
magnificently, albeit modestly evinces
matronly dame parading and sauntering,
she intimates readiness to give birth
regarding multitudinous flora and fauna,
whereby swath groundswell of color
and panoply of sound bursts forth.

A symphony with terrestrial
ecological community, which life forms abound
via natural laboratory qua nature,
especially at seasonal dawn of spring tide,
where multifarious existence can be found
carving out a figurative zoological niche
in a kaleidoscope of colors and sounds galore
idyllic melodic musical sound
artist palette of rainbow blended sights
assuage auditory and
visual sense pleasures respectively.

No gofundme donation required-
unless ye clamor to proffer expense
(toward fame and fortune
concerning one garden variety
long haired pencil necked geek
to regale sensational experience,
but before further lines get read
please be mindful
to take lock, stock, and barrel
of mine existential sponsor,
thus a brief plugged statement to
??? ???????? ???????? ????? ??0?????0? ?0? ????.

Now back to regularly scheduled program
trying to entrance ye dear reader
incorporating titanic and tectonic processes,
(albeit all natural wonders)
constituting eight ways
to build strong bodies
bred courtesy punctuated equilibrium
nudging advantages to outvie
one living thing
versus another organism.

Winter of our (collective) discontent
alleviated courtesy pagan earth goddesses
prestidigitation delivering cathartic holistic
and poetic botanical balms,
which salve (age long in the tooth)
psychological wounds.

Show stopping stunning performance
stills lovers embrace
long anticipating nonpareil experience,
nevertheless straining credulity
of visual and aural senses,
where collective awed pinterests
silences onlookers evoking
masterpiece rendered still life
among webbed plant and animal species.

Premium Member A Translated Whisper


When writing love poems to a poet 
spray them with your scent;
When writing love poems to a poet 
every word should linger;
A whisper that you can’t forget;

When writing love poems to a poet 
dig deep inside your soul;
When writing love poems to a poet 
know they see every empty space  
of every phrase of your feather quill;

When writing love poems to a poet
be mindful of your energy;
When writing love poems to a poet 
understand they feel the art of font;
Details are what they notice instantly;

Show that you look under the surface 
translating metaphors and riddles;
Explore their depth enjoy drowning;
Turn them on with complex puzzles,
when writing love poems to a poet.

Sigh

A bond that is hard to define,
feeling that is unknown,
don't know if it is something sweet or saline
some feelings really have no true sign..
            A feeling that is so intense,
            Still makes to me no absolute sense,
            Comfort of someone's presence or uneasiness of absence.
            A feeling that is a question about it's mere existence.
There's absolutely nothing right or wrong,
Do I pen it down or give it the life of a song.
There's nothing good or bad,
But there's a definite feeling of me being sad,
Thinking if this feeling that I've,
Would I be better if this feeling is something I never had.
           You get only one life but a pool of emotion.
           Many come with their own answer, others with no real solution.
           Trying to find some temporary substitution,
           I close here with a mindful of hustle-bustle and weird confusion.....

Premium Member Gethsemane Garden

Glimpses of light in garden dark,
Embrace soul grief in doubt and fear;
Truth in full sight as turmoil sparks,
Heaven seems brief as hate draws near;


Son of Man prays that love draws close,
Entrust soul frame to death's domain;
Mind that hard way where pride plays host,
Attest meek name to message plain; 


Now evil comes to slay the flesh,
Echoes of Hell keep matters harsh.
Gain welcomes sum in silver trash,
Alive to tell vile slander's brush;


Rush of blood drops in painful sweat,
Deep prayer grips this sacred heart;
Etch without stop true sorrow's threat,
Now forlorn trip in mindful part.


Christ knows sad truth in garden scene,
Horde now invades with rowdy fuss;
Rouse sleep with proof rough soldiers seen.
In certain trade a kiss prompts buzz;


See Jesus bound and led away,
Tell twisted lies to keep your face.
Pride lays the ground for makeshift play,
Rest betrayed ties for hollow pace;


Apt Judas feels his shameful sin,
Yields guilty heart to put things right;
Ends with a kill as suicide wins,
Ripe windy start to horror's plight.

Premium Member Tao Game Theory

This LeftMind dominant
viral virtue 
of practicing RightBody patience 

Is a coverup 
for feeling deep impatience.  

Feeling impatient is not as hopeful 
as exploring active curiosity. 

Curiosity 
about why someone, 
including my own anthro-privileged self, 
would default to live win/lose 
competitively 

When our healthiest, 
and safest 
economically enlightened 
and politically empowering experiences 
have always grown choices to live 
liberally
radically
integrally
EarthTribally
sacredly
neurosystemically
ecologically
more fully win/win, 
cooperatively co-invested.

Passionate curiosity might kill the occasional cat; 
but probably not more deadly 
than dispassionate lack of curiosity.  

Besides, 
passionate curiosity can also be more fun
than boring impatience

More joyful, 
than sad
mad
bad 

More curiously glad
even appropriately win/win consenting adult/adult lusty

More sad/glad soulful 
preferring mindful disciplines 
like healthy therapeutic dances 
and well-sung 
resiliently brilliant love songs.

Premium Member Positive

Start with your heart
Live loving art


Be mindful then
Live now not when


Mind games distract
Let love attract


Purpose funds tact
Passion feeds act


Work on your quest
Make zest greet test


Word what you start
Work your best heart


Look beyond books
String a wise hook


Dare to live right
Be a sure light


There is a way
Life always pays


Just what you see
Focus sets free


Be positive
Void negative


Easy to talk
Yet hard to walk


Joy awaits each
Just stretch and reach


All in good time
Your seasons rhyme


Seek then sure proof
Live well your truth

Facebook As Sounding Board

With a middle name as "Flag this Scapegoat,"
I best not be surprised bullied from cutthroat
villains (supposedly kind hearted facilitators/
moderators, sans Facebook administrators, but
woe whiz me hyperbole 4 lite dramatic affect),

mine psyche stung, when months after months
no incidents of lamentable discrimination did
I experience until...early this last week in Feb.
rue weary - BAM, many poems dispatched to
various and sundry Facebook poetry groups in

das scrim min hit lee suddenly generated host
till lit tee (within me every fiber and sinew) re-
guarding justifiable explanation necessitating
why (albeit vaguely worded electronic message),
yours truly did not comply with stipulations,

when no objectionable outburst could be linked
in with contents mainly implicating myself as
this doubting Thomas (foolhardy fella) rarely
loosed, lobbed, launched brickbats against no
one within madding crowd, hence exert at tent

heaven esse, when choosing my words, a shock
sparked anger upon a deluge of unexpected (the
equivalent of slap on the face) without warning
to address any unacceptable issue, which ready
corrections this mindful scribe would attend, no

questions asked, then methought an opportunity
presented itself to express displeasure, whether
warm reception ala royal carpet treatment took
place even if I brought a ratty old Scottish mat),
thus the mere exercise to expunge pent up anger

(electronically) automatically, excellently, and
immediately reduced agitation, an opportunity
to modify my behavior since pathetic unhealthy
modus operandi earlier during mein kampf, the
necessity to free emotions as a youngster beak

came internalized, whereat cumulative instances
when browbeaten, effectively - indiscriminately
needled, taunted, et cetera found me to swallow
indignities against mine person to communicate
without resorting to violent threat, which would
ratchet up a minor fracas into a major altercation.

Premium Member Lost and found

Owing to a pact we made long ago,
God’s angel appeared to us in disguise,
offering to restore light we’d let go,
arising from our life choices unwise
but the promise came with a proviso,
that if our soul seeks to climb to new highs,
we must first agree to make our heart pure,
with eye mindful, touch gentle and demure.

God’s light, the angel said, is in our heart,
so given this clue, known to very few,
we deemed silence as the best way to start,
for sans thought, our heart’s pure, like morning dew
and thus simply by adding love to cart,
we resurrected our soul’s light anew.
Ego disappeared, God Himself appeared;
we became the light, by sages revered.

Premium Member So Often Ignored

So Often Ignored

Nannies know little of color
White holding favor by 5th Ave employers
Barons and Baronesses of means
Gazing from insulated windows on high
As infant guardian merges blanketed carriage and job
Into daily Central Park realities

Inquisitive bundled baby stares
Starched guardian
Folded like a napkin atop the park bench
Idles her time with smartphone pressed to ear
Caressing air-born voices
To soften dreams
Rigid as the armor-hardened uniform
She wears

Mittened hands strain with curiosity
As sweatered pit bull puppy
Strains at leash
Infant eyes tear of confinement
Duty and resolve tethers canine away
 

Both wondering in infantile language
Must naïve curiosity always remain separated
Why so much fearful exposure
Engendering further fear
Made to keep separate
Connections intended

From eight stories up on the avenue
Binoculared eyes and iphoned voice
Remind Nanny to place baby's reaching hands
Beneath angora blanket
Protect
Protect

The puppy sniffs another moment
Nannie pockets smart phone
Gathers responsibility
Wheels away doleful innocence
Master jerks leash
Ever mindful of misunderstanding

Suddenly...

The simple language
Pant
Lick
Smile
Giggle
Contact
Becomes one's early experience
Cautioning of query's risk

Onlookers duck heads
Perhaps conscious
Acknowledgment might create fatal pause

Thus

Retreating ignorance by observers
Becomes a "through a glass darkly" for innocents
Risking perhaps forever embedded distrust
As the child with smiles
A puppy with out-of-control-tail swag
Separate
Unrequited love
Becomes just another vanishing moment
For disquieted hearts

Simple lessons of oneness
So often ignored
