Premium Member Battle of the Coaches

Keep winning
with your same old competitive ********,
said the life coach,
To avoid future losses.

What are the key capital investment opportunities,
asked the financial coach,
That keep Business As Competitively Usual
building larger homes,
expanding sacred cathedrals,
triumphing Win-or-Lose public servants
calculating democratic divestment of losers?

Watch out for competing over-investment
in ostensibly cooperative purposes,
trusts,
concerns,
collective incorporations for good,
warned the occupier coach,
growing life for mutual love empowerment,
bilateral and multilateral winning health,
wealth,
wellness,
happiness,
welfare of all residents

Whether by "birthright"
or whether by birthwrong need
of a more liberally safe and free sacred space
to live cooperative love
without fear of RightWing ballistic incursions,
rape,
plunder,
abuse,
neglect

Health of truth and beauty winning
robust multicultural love
restoring ecotherapeutic justice.

All residents win through mutually occupying health care
giving 
and receiving 
and communicating nutritional wealth 
with more cooperative communion intent
revolting against WinLose
unto LoseLose anti-rapturous devolutionary assumptions,
bad faith,
lack of hope,
where we would instead grow love,
karmic expectation,
positive psychology incarnation,
ecological and theological correlational relationship.

RightWing coaches and technicians:
Please conservatively challenge assumptions
that healthy engines of capital green success
should
would
or even logically could
unilaterally assume continued growth
of future wealthy
life-systemic successes.

Relentless continued growth
within a living,
breathing,
heart-beating organism,
society,
culture,
nation
we usually discover as rabidly cancerous
once we become mature adult mindbody systems
of natural healthy Spirit
and/or wealthy spiritually balancing NatureBodies

Said the occupy healthy life coach.


Premium Member Shell Shocked and Choked

‘Turn swords into ploughshares and nightmares to dreams’
		
                I have not one plough and no shares in the market

		Insomnia has taken over my nights the rest is illusion

		Ambitions are exhausted and hope has no yearning

		Freedom dangles on the rope of puppet-less strings

		Vacuum reflects an echo of silent ear bursting rasping

                Dissonance oozes from cacophony’s apathetic rattle

The heavy clanger of other’s fraudulent forge melts disowned blood

Into ice in my veins as a purulent mind oozes vile battles' cries

Muted by trench feet scraping bottomless mind-fields and apathy

			‘Pull yourself out of catatonia’s core-less pits’

	But there is no kernel of truth and fruits of desire have rotted

	To the acrid stench of a Self carefully lost on broken branches

	Snapped composure looms over a well-trodden treacherous path

	Carved into an involuntary hermit’s cave by a cliff edged road side 

	It is grave in the cavern in which vacant vagrants jumble their bones

	Disconnect their last possession and wilfully trade skulls and bones

‘This too shall pass and so many others have been stuck in the rot’

		And yet suffocation in some muddy sludge is sinking

		Slowly and excruciatingly tempting to join forces of evil

		A dark rusty anchor floats high on the unreachable ceiling

		Time I have endless measures of but the world is upside down

		I am out of the picture that has faded memories for the future

		Dislodged and dismembered I am a powerful union of nothing

‘Change your perspective and find solace where it is hidden’

	So he who is I from the distance finally lets go of unwarranted grip

	Descends as far from the surface as possible beyond expectations

	And finds footing of the shackles where the ploughshare should be

	The spikes pierce my soles and my soul ostensibly drowned in sorrow

	At least there is pain and some place in between scars to feel emotions

	That tentatively nurture rescue apparently beyond impossible salvation

‘Your advice seemed hollow but there is some loving space left inside my shell’

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Political correctness 
Sometimes goes a bit too far,
For certain things should be accepted
Just the way they are.

The controversy swirling now
About a certain song 
Recorded many years ago
Appears, to me, just wrong.

The lyrics, in the "Me too" glare 
May seem like they do prove
A woman's being pressured 
By a man who's on the move.

She claims she has to leave
And he convinces her to stay
Ostensibly for sex, though
It's not black and white, but gray.

In 1944 the words 
Were funny, cute and flirty
But underneath a microscope
They're creepy, even dirty.

There's so much we can focus on
Within the "Me too" zone
That when it comes to classic songs,
They should be left alone.

Eleventh, March

A sigh escapes still, immune to overt silence, unabashed...justified
Another teardrop enters the infinite pool of resilience, uplifting...reinforcing
   Another hand empathizes--
          touching, impulsively putting one's heart unto wounds, alleviating pain
    enfolding memories into paper, ostensibly vigilant 
         Unborn dreams awaiting fruition.

empty streets, impacted pieces: occupied lives, unwavering spirits

Arighting the entropy--
 "Not Impossible!" Heaves Obstacled Nation -- Untiring, Persevering! 

A lone emboldened seed is planted, objectifying hope,
  ushering life amidst rubble, 
engaging tenacity inherently within overburdened, yet undauntable voices
 Ardently surging, emerging from insidious waves of chaos, 
     ultimately touching azure

Time effortlessly moves, insensitive to ordeals
  nonetheless, undoubtedly healing...

As wings echo distantly, irradiated winds oscillate
                     blush unfurling light...


Arise, Sun! Embrace the illuminated blossom. Orbit Love's universe.

11th March 2011

**It has been two years since Japan encountered 
such a devastating triple tragedy
of the earthquake in Tohoku, tsunami and 
the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster...

They are still slowly picking up the pieces, 
so much needs to be done, 
so many are still displaced, uncertain of their futures, of their lives...
hopefully they are not forgotten.

It may take long, long years, 
but I honestly believe Japan can rise over this, I honestly hope so.




****Thank you David for this enjoyable challenge.
 It has pushed me to approach this topic in a way that 
I would have never thought of on my own....

Premium Member I Believe

The obsessive free will ostensibly latent,
overpowers the mind with trance of unreality,  
obscures the course God ordains 
l need to take for He designs it for me. 

The radiance of the heavenly light 
floods my essence, I discern, 
drive away the shadow of ego, 
and I emerge from the domain of conceit.

Free from the dungeon of despair,  
I take the awareness journey inward. 
With unfailing faith in God I get divine peace
in the inner sanctum of serene bliss.

My soul shines in the spiritual glow, 
illumining the corridor of sustenance,   
I travel beyond the bounds of travail,
believing the gracious benevolence of God.

Premium Member Nothingness Niche


Intrinsic awareness,
sensuous stream
in the vale of time, 
channeled challenged
through mind’s myriad 
angularities accentuated,
carries in coherent current
ceaselessly, 
the cognitive impulses
criticality conjured,
surging swathing waves 
of enlightenment
across formless emptiness 
of amorphous perception.

The pulse of time 
vibrates with perpetuity
in inner space, 
intuitively infinite,
the cadence in harmony 
with the intonation 
of eternity,
the manifested 
timeless transition 
from one phase 
to another
in continuum,
modulated mystically 
by stimulus shimmer 
of the illumined soul.

The life force 
ostensibly obscure,
abhors vacuum, 
persistence pervasive 
propels the essence 
of the existent 
in nothingness niche.

Premium Member Bubble of Illusion

An unseen lamp hidden somewhere
Someone kindles for you when you arrive
Unperceived it creates beam of contemplation
Illumines the pathway of your destined journey.

The free thoughts you create as mental fresco 
The lamp makes it ostensibly self-radiant 
Enmeshing your soul within the maze of ego
That designs the road you choose to travel alone.

On the way you pick up some flowers
Someone gracious blossoms for you
But you think these are epitome of self-image
Worthy of innate celebration in euphoria.

On the way you tread on the trail of thorns
You think you would pave a new track soon
And won’t suffer on the journey for long
But the perpetual torment lingers on. 

The disowned lamp then gets extinguished
In depth of darkness you lose your awareness
The willful psyche clings to the sense of self
Getting confined within the bubble of illusion.

Premium Member My Truths


"My truths are the shared essence of empathy in the 
fabric of universal oneness" - Quote by Poet.


                        The obsessive free will ostensibly latent,
            overpowers the dazed mind with trance of falsehood,  
obscures the righteous course God designs, l need to take.
The radiance of heavenly light floods my essence, I discern, 
                        drive away the shadow of ego, 
I emerge enlightened from the dismal domain of self conceit. 
From the clasping fold of karmic destiny I’m released free,
      transcend the limits of time and space, the soul surpasses
            from mortal case, merges with the absolute entity.
                        I feel devout breath flow sincerely
with the current of embracing love, see the divine beauty 
            in everything God has gracefully created for us to marvel. 
      Empathy then drips from my heart, 
                        defines my truths that I believe connect us.

Premium Member New Year Dream

One leaving year, is sketching to a close.
There will arise a fresh, one beginning.  
Bid farewell to anything that is morose.
Reach along the striking sides on living.

Those Promises become a drilling in vanity. 
Beings direct bearings emerge to befall false. 
Pledges are subtly conveyed, then, futility.
It's doubtful to pursue your dream source. 

let's plead for vigour and evident delight.
And for concord in the coming year too.
And as the clocks resound at midnight.
I hope those ultimate dreams come true.

Best tip I've won: live all your daydream. 
Utterly one frail life is ostensibly we redeem. 
It's trivial to squander strength on expecting. 
You will be prodded into a treasure wing.

The finest is withal to reach for everyone. 
Expecting bliss in the new year as well.
And at zero hours, chorus yodels loud then. 
I hope for you, rapture and hefty outrival.
