Understanding Nature

Part 1: What (I Think) God Wants You to Know!

Some people don’t understand Nature,
Feel death and pain prove there’s no God
Or if there is He is a monster,
His empathy for us a fraud.

They say...

Darkness swells from the depth of the sea,
waves crashes against waves,
the mad sea roars and vomits vengeance, 
it belches and yawns at the sound of her name.

They have been drifting for many days,
entranced with panic,...

At the edge of madness, when shadows become extensions of being and not mere imprints,
We glimpse the overwhelming truth and profound simplicity of life, like a crystalline mirror,
Reflecting not just our faces, but also the...

Most women have grown tired of just being women,
Weary of always being the flowers of unending seasons, awaiting to be plucked
And placed in vases for gazes that never feel their roots;
They, the ladies of time,...

The fall is being chased by the restless earth
Longing for self-destruct
Melting peat in soil melting contest
Bind the selected space guard
Carbon in the seepage of the earth

Mother Earth sincerely caressed him to death
His life for the...

Seeking Ever The More, Greatest Of Truths

I.

The soul, which like a heart true beats
hers to my love forever weds
singing songs that passions entreat
to invite joy to lover's bed
tho' Fate oft dances as it cheats.

And Spring...

The night closes the windows, and
The sky has become a crystal house,
Shining crystal windows,
The Moon
Has sketched through them -
Through the entire alabaster sanctuary.
A single star was sending down
A crystal cable,
And passed its plough across the...

Nature’s palette of golden paints overturns,
autumn's spectrum spills on color-burst landscape.


As the heat of the summer air dissipates away
The sapphire shine suffuses the crystalline sky
Crisp breeze ripples on the gilded thicket canopy
The rustling leaves perform...

Every time I see that pretty face
Blossoming the world around, like flower in a vase.
Those eyes sparkle defying the sunshine,
Suddenly the reflection on me and I’m not mine.

The smile that takes away all your attention,
A...

Rearing on stardust, hungry for adventure
Grazing the evergreen imaginings
Beauty poised for new beginnings
Infer my taming abilities as head you lower

Enthral my youth with a thousand horsepower
Grasping your mane, you smell my fears
In my whimper, taste...

tomorrow’s a new day
when
this
night

will be forgotten
And
the light

and the might
of the eager armies
surging to war

we’ll have forgotten
what the fight had been for

and the wind whispers peaceful death
over grass reaching for height
and the moon in the morning...

Corruption in the rumours and on the scenes
High profile slaps and cattle vaccines 
Taxes, levies and airport leases
Pleasure decreases and pressure increases 
Critics disappear in a bid to peddle fear
Rage and despair always lingers in...

What is it that we call wisdom?
And where is it that it is found?
It is no place in the land of the living,
Nor can it be bought by the pound.
It cannot be valued with bars...

Before civilization imprinted on you,
before speech swallowed your thoughts,
before a million rules and regulations
strangled your spirit and stripped your flesh.

There was a place
where the uncontrollable laughter lies,
where mirth hides behind each corner and
where spontaneity springs...

appetizers are not uncomplimentary
they are food for gods and primitive man.
The ape is the apex as
Blood and Oranges are exceptionally 
eulogistic pleasing to the soul 
Down, down, down into the darkness of memory,
Gently they go...

Winds howling off trees overhead 
in the grim grey sky, blackened stars.
leaves whisper in their rustling tread
excited in an air of summer showers.

embrace of monsoon, clouds rip apart
overturns a bucket of torrential rain
erasing footprints, sun...

Though endings soon arrest litigious wrongs,
Injustice stains without impunity,
When who I’d rather share romantic songs,
Declares to God abhorrent thoughts on me;
In days from now when Marci testifies,
That evil lurks in me, a violent man,
She’ll have...

Why was Jesus a Leftist? please extrapolate.
In John 2, Jesus overturns the money-changers' tables
In Mark 11, and Matthew 23, He cleansed the Temple of trade
He got to the City, took a left turn, not right...
