into a verbal,
active,
regenerative more,
degenerative less,

and even more unconsciously occasionally

Premium Member When We Were Eight
When you were eight years old
waking to another perfect day's dawn
what potential did you discover
with your co-empathy integrity 
of left-deductive
with elder right inductive

Bending Light
When young, in playing out one day
a swinging stick got in my way,

a sailing tailwind
in cerulean streams
through creamsicle colored beams -
are wings reflective of turquoise truth

of Autumn’s ether -

What will the story be ?

Into the mysteries of the observing mind
one has to ponder, wonder just what kind
of tales, stories, beliefs will we see unfold
as the projections, the perceptions are told.

Will they be of...

his lean equine face with dust-brown eyes
defines hardship
a gaunt frame
undernourished 
he squats on city pavement 
there in the crook of his neck and shoulder

Orange

This now time is a gift to graft a moment
In the mist,
Or how in the midst of circumstance;
Such volatility brews this even stance to render;
balance for the few;
What year is this bleak friend?

Of the voices thrown and never shown their cries travel well
A starving sewn with a bitter bone of their life a quiet quell
With larval lips that are losing grips where echoes only dwell
Their smile...

Darkness obscured your danger sign, imperceptible but not benign.
My dreams flowed into a high electric field, our minds taped and concealed--
Your heart was radioactive; all my emotions were refractive.
I sacrificed full support before the strings...

Marooned
the light sways each break
cast upon waters wake
constant movement capture
waves reflecting shimmer
refractive glass splinter
mirage slicing a mirror 
each simple twists of fate

The Apocalypse

Flaring of its endless tail
Spreading dust across the galaxy
On a collision course for planet Earth
