Premium Member All Creatures Great and Small

All creatures great and small,
from the smallest microbe to the largest animal of all.
Our living planet provides life for a mass variety of species.
Marine life is full of massive numbers of species of great diversity.
Bacteria, crustaceans, fishes, mammals, amphibians and also jellies.
Land dwelling life also has many life specie variations
Bacteria, Insects, reptiles, birds, worms 
and among the mammals are us humans,
and the last variety of other life species that are also important to mention
exist beneath our deepest oceans and seas 
as well as far as on land one can see.
The millions of different species of vegetation.
We may think ourselves the specie most superior
but no life is worth more or less than any other.
All creatures great and small
have an unalienable right 
to their one and only life 
however great or small.

Premium Member Choosing Health

It's not my choices
I regret,

But,
sometimes what I didn't choose
to do
or join
or say
or at least not forget

About not hatching up
or mashing down
some healthier choices
in a wealthier nontraumatic time
for restoring EarthTribe Justice
kismet.

And,
most of all,
I regret

My apparent inability
to make choices univocally
when my only ecological deadline ability,
now moored upon my biological disability
to independently grow less traumatic degenerativity,
post-healthy inside climate stress disorderly

Cosmological personal death of me,
dirth of humane resilient We,
despair of MotherEarth's just right 
cold/warmly
revolving light 
and dark climate power 
regenerativity

More explicitly integral
yang yintegrity
of bicameral resonance regrowing wealth 
of fairness cosmologically healthy

Heavenly Peace 
rebirthing Just EarthWomb warm Cosmology 
blue/greenly co-investing 
in strongly resilient
yet flexibly resonant,
empowering
and harmonically enlightening
life choice inter-connecting systems.

Powers to choose,
like all power,
can be more or less than ZeroSum,

Power,
like light v dark,
includes passion,
dispassion,
compassion,

Favoring regenerative life systems,
and disfavoring degenerative dark death 
monotheistic
monocultures of chaotic rabid hate
violent revenge
pure white-hot patriotic punishment,
retributive choice fragmenting voices
of fear-filled anger
win/lose
heading toward lose/lose

Nonsystemic
nonlife
nonchoices,
dualdark felt 
nihilistic voices

Speaking up
and out,
It's not my pro-healthy life choices
we multigenerationally 
regret indigenously

What we didn't choose
to do
or join
or say
or at least not forget
EarthTribally.

Starting Over

i've been in love before
i've wrote about everything there is
to live for
in my expressions i try my best
trying phrase after phrase
useing test after test
for does it feel right 
does it sound right
does it touch a certian truth
with in
some small ideal and i'll begin
a small piece of paper and a pen
and words come to life
that i somehow claim as mine
maybe they were said before
but never to my mind
i think about my fellow man
with whom this poetry i'll share
through a few lines together
and hope to fine some agreement there
but mostly what i like to do
is melts the womens hearts
they are all Eve in a way 
and i have Adams heart
with poetry we define emotions
useing words like love potions
always to impress
make them think more or less
choosing what we think or feel
writing about the fake of real
building pride with in ourself
the use of imagination itself
or perhaps we shall have a cause
write the reasons we have laws
tell the world what we are
try to be a little star

Love

A poem by me

You can take the breathe from my body. You can have my soul ripped open wide. You can have my mind, the wanderer it is. You can have this hand to hold. You can hold the very essence of my being in the palm of your hand. Do with me what you wish. I offer myself to you as nothing more or less than who I am. Down to my very core I am yours. Feel my heart beat in this box with your name upon its lid. Forever I will be a part of you, and you always a part of me. I lay here bare, naked. With wrists torn open bleeding for you. You are my soul, my heart outside my body. I give you all I am and ever will be without hesitation. You have won me. A war long fought. You turned a cold damaged soul into a bleeding heart. I give you all I am. Scars and all.

I Am Bored With Mirror

Bored with the mirror
reflecting same face,
nothing more or less
without System Error(500)!

Bored with those eyes
teasing my behaviour,
naughty as they are
without a surprise!

Bored with those lips
'se_y' someone told,
always too much bold
and ready for a kiss!

Bored with the nose
hill above the sea,
always ahead of me
mimicking my pose!

Myself or  mirror
who is the culprit,
let's now fix it
whose boredom is more!

Premium Member Through Life's Clenched Jaw

 Time to time, I'm bound to pass
  through Life's clenched jaw
   as I saw, that's inevitable !
    No body can escape but to be put
     in tight corner --more or less
     even if one fights utmost.
    That's life !
    Path of life is uneven not smooth
    the most ruthless truth.

   In those days, I never pray 
    to be saved in danger ----
     but wish for more strength
      to struggle and win !
      Adverse situations must not ruin me :
     Even if I fall down,
     I'm sure, I must rise up.

        I know sometimes 
       I are put in immense trouble 
       while going through life's clenched jaw
       as if I'm under cutch of devil's paw.
       Yet I don't lose self confidence 
        to control hazards
         having tolerance
        and sufficient patience.

        I don't need any solace
       if when I be put in grief or sorrow
      but pray for courage and competence
       to overcome by tomorrow.

       I proceed dauntless 
       simultaneous being righteous 
       to confront with firm faith
       as I never deviate from truth
        even when going though Life's clenched jaw !

Decrepit roots still cling

The palace of love we built ~  
when our blood still flowed very warm in our veins,  
     is now a crumbled castle —  
its walls with peeled paints and decayed wood;  
     a jaded clock and faded photographs  
           hung with wry, decrepit smiles.

Now we both live as weary souls ~  
     on a ship abandoned on a dry dock.  
Many layers of darkness and shadows  
     have blackened our joy,  
since the flickering light from our unquenched fire 
    was blown out by the wind.

And so,  
     we are made to swim in an ocean  
           without fishes or turtles.  
Our gardens are littered with leaves and petals,  
     blown aimlessly about by southern winds.  
The love in our hearts is unthawed ~  
     stony, hard, and sturdy.

Yet,  
     decrepit is a weight our life has to carry —  
     the burden dragging back our feet.  
It comes whispering out of a roaring crowd  
     and makes our cries  
          like a raindrop in a storm.

That,  
     despite being aged and frail,  
we are also broken and battered by time ~  
     more or less, we are trees whose roots have died,  
     merely hanging on to life  
          with a long-stretched thread about to snap.

October Old World Country Comforts

Screams of terror fill in the cracks
Of  ancient crumbling castle rocks
Everyone enjoys old world accommodations 
Hotels are always cheap but at full capacity  
Cries for help escape into the black 
Dungeons are open to the public at a price
Faceless creatures slash your back with whips
Purple slime runs down the chamber walls
Chains rattle out a warning for more agony
Snakes crawl with venom for the vital parts
Spiders fill heads with freshly hatched eggs
Flesh eating insects begin to feast
Bacteria wait in line to get the best
No reservations needed in October
You are their favorite trick and treat 
The man with a limp comes in twitching
Sharp red eyes bleeding gains attention
Wielding an ax garners more
The hump adds character to the festivities
There will be no beds turned down tonight  
What is one more murder more or less
Relax, enjoy the evening and a cigarette
You are our guest. You are next 
Our apologies for the mess

Deep Down Inside the Heart

Once our world was so peace full
Yes Only but once 
Once we all where together in happiness 
Yes only but once
Once the world was like our unseen heaven 
Yes only but once 
Once all we got was enough with out greed
Yes only but once 
Once our mothers was never abuse 
Yes only but once 
Once our land was with out calamity 
Yes only but once 
Once the world was a paradise
Yes only but once 

And suddenly 
Suddenly men turn our world to a jungle 
Suddenly our peace disappeared 
Suddenly our happiness was so far
Suddenly our heaven was turn hell
Suddenly things went from good to bad
Suddenly our land was turn blood
Suddenly all we got was a debt
Suddenly the heart of men turn evil 
Suddenly life that is simple became complicated 
Suddenly humans became more or less slaves to our very own ignorance 
I wonder and wonder 
Suddenly I realise deep Down 
Yes deep Down the heart there 
We have a soul 

We have a soul 
This soul was there once 
This soul was guiding our mind 
This soul shows us who we are 
From the very beginning  this soul
Is ever constants 
This soul is always right there in the heart 
It never leaves us alone 
I guess once we listen to our soul 
I guess once we followed our heart
I guess once we allowed nature to take it cost 
Not now any more for suddenly 
And gradually 
We are now more or less slave 
And if that will change 
We oath to listen 
Deep down inside the heart

Premium Member ENTHUSIASM

“ Enthusiasm is nothing more or less than faith in action.”
    - Henry Chester.



      Enthusiasm is nothing 
      more or less than faith in action .
     Dynamism and zeal to bring 
      on every implementation.

     Enthusiasm guides in each step.
     Confidence in activity 
     will always lead , not to escape.
     Devotion is priority.

     Enthusiasm won't allow to
    put you on dark despondency
    Disappointment won't engross you.
   Stay strong , firm not under mercy.
    
       Enthusiasm is the pivot 
       of your attempt and performance,
       keeping competent on each spot 
       and under any circumstance.
  
       Enthusiasm is prime asset.
       not to decrease at any rate
        rather giving boost at its best,
        Always prompt to act, never late.
