Long Precluding Poems

First Regenerations
merge into Earth's ecolove
our individuating way

Tips pointed toward ego/eco-faith co-acclimating communities,
bilaterally balancing Either/Or left-brain dominance
monoculturing competitive economics

And Both/And right-brain polyculturing prominence
enlightening cooperative internally bicameral politics

Giving rise to Second Generations
of bipolar RightHand
and dipolar LeftHand

The noblemen control the pen, indeed they own the farm,
but nonetheless exude finesse (and need I mention charm?)
with revenue to sate the few, exulting arm in arm;
for all the rest, they wish the best and...

Colures transposed orbits closed whence derive the rains of rose?
Across million mileage magic and magnitude are striding
O'er holistic horizon svelteness and smoothness are sliding
Meridian framed parallax tamed whither swash the rains of rose?
Spray by spray,...

When the flame of passion 
flickers out.
Seducing the mind & ravaging 
the body.

Sweeping the rhyme of reason 
precluding nothing of the 
mind's ability. 
Only desire can reignite 
the flame of burning passion.

The unique ticking &...

Once upon a time there lived
a young girl

Who eventually was to grow up
inevitably later into a young 
women

And when she did all she ever
wanted and dreamed of endlessly
then was to have a young daughter

Never-After
© Ben Burton 

Why is it
So many godless people
Are offended by religious words
Spoken publicly?

Does reverence instill fear in them?
If so, of what?
The church lady
Swinging her purse?

If shuffling off our mortal coil portends
The end
What then?
It is...

I wonder how Donald Trump thought
and felt
about his King Midas political narrative
at the time of his electoral college victory.

Well,

He mentioned, once or twice,
how thrilled he was with well-marketed turnout
at his...

THE PALMS
As dawn child brings a new illumination
Among the palms are hints of gentle motion
Their fronds now stir in elegant activation
Like ladies with refinement: a devotion
Their fluent gestures smoothing interaction
Smiles bows and fans precluding all...

A vision of mine, your soul aloft gliding amidst the soft breeze
Adorned in a white lace gown, the one you only dreamed to wear
Hair so thick gracefully draped around you flowing to your knees
Fashioned to...

The faction based on realistic fact is fortuitous.
Precluding from the problems of reality  is to focus on oranges you are carrying and not the snakes crawling beneath you.
To  be overcomed by a disorder...

Back in my hole in the back of the den
racking up souls with every heart that I spend

Laughing at those birdies floating far far away
half in astral detentions known to scar and fillet

Compacted in thy...

When we first started dating
I had no expectation of forever
I was content with the immediate
And enjoyed each moment with her
All the mundane chatter
And flirtatious wordplay
Leading to the longing looks
And the sentimental words of love
Back then...

Wisdom co-arises with integrity
to empower bilateral
and multilateral consciousness
of robust polycultural knowing
climates of better global health
through local nonviolent communication safety.

Safety is organically healthy felt
co-arising sufficient co-investment thoughts,
not precluding,
nor presuming,
social distancing
yet within active hope of full circle...

I am called Ruth, Ruth was my first
since then I have been hailed and cursed
by other names.  This one is couth;
Ruth was my first, I am called Ruth.

The name means love, it's biblical
