Thanatophobia

The notion engulfs my conscience.
It raises a question, I fail to answer.
They say, the body remains,
Whilst the soul departs.
A claim backed by none.
How do I know it's not trapped?

The emotions I endure today,
Magnified and unbearable.
The scorching sun,
A glass of lava poured over my body.
How do I lie on a pyre,
With hundreds of woods burning beneath?

Once contemplated burial.
Yet how I ignore,
The revulsion of crawling maggots.
Feeding on my brain.
Fading consciousness heralds the stench,
Declaring the emergence of decay.

The eternal peace is agonising,
Quivers, petrifies and shatters rationalization.
Though I'm acquainted with it.
I saw it, I knew it,
Nevertheless I attempted to evade it.
Why do I deny surrender then?

It is a race,
And death, the destined victor.
Age is the vessel I am aboard,
sailing forward, yet no reversal.
Not a glimpse of the past I discovered,
What is left of me that I'm afraid to die?

We "Wonder" how the sick body can be healed? Neurogenesis brings about the reversal of physical pathological states that will exist in the "Human Body"!Neurogenetic exercises reduce pathological states in many different parts of "The Human Body"!This new discovery of "Neurogenesis will lead to rejuvination in any part of "The Human Body"that may be pathologically affected,and is dying!Neurogenesis with directed practice of the brain to heal its body parts can cause the body part to be healed! The plastiscity of "The Human Brain" is increased with"Brain Exercise" as Richard Restak explains in ways to exercise the brain!The "Brain Itself" can heal itself with "Connectedness'!The Brain Itself" is connected with it's "Creator"! "I call him GOD! There is a hidden "FIRE" inside of you and me,and we realize that there is a fire hidden from you and me! We walk day by day,and follow on the road that lies ahead!We are willing to walk to "Eternity"! "Time Stops at "The Speed of Light" ,and that is reality! We move beyond "The Speed of Light"! The "Power In Us" is to move and "Live"! Neurogenesis moves beyond "The Speed of Light",and that is why we "PRAY",and "SEE" another "LIGHT"! We see another "SIGHT" in another undiscovered "Light"! Physics can not see the light of neurogenisis,and neurogenetic growth through of the dendrites,and the synaps at the synaptic sites!Neurogenesis is factually,and physically correct ,and right! We do not say goodbye: We do not change: We just grow genetically to be factually real and true! We realize "Eternity",and that is what "Physics" has not done for me and you!My "Cellphone" just "Blew"!My neurogenetic connection just "Grew"!  We can find "The Master" who is "True"! This is what my cellphone could not do!  The "Master True" stays in touch with me and with you!

I Have Dignity

If you knew, you would understand.
If you cared, you'd try.
If you don't you're underhand,
so why not tell me goodbye.

I am not a stepping stone.
I am not a temporary thing.
I am not here to make you smile,
or for your bias happiness to bring.

This is life not just a test.
This is no rehearsal.
This is over for the best,
how about that for a reversal.

If it is given then give some back.
If it is beautiful share it.
If it is broke then let it be,
do not provoke nor dare it.

Farewell to you half heartedly.
Farewell to you ex lover.
Farewell for I have dignity,
and now I must recover.

The
dance of seeming
opponents
which separation
makes apparent~
may suggest the
end of the gold
sought in separation~


Blood
flows apparently
and does not~
without not
the flow is lost~


Nothing
cannot be named
but the naming
of something
may seem
good enough~


Everything
is incalculable 
even something~
consequently
not knowing is
free to know
and not know~


Doing
is the suggestion
for progress~
working on a path
to the better~
it appears that way~


Faulty
are all words
in expressing
the inexpressible~
the prison bars
of confinement
and freedom~


Clockwork
seems the story
which time
captures~
interpreted as
suffering and
freedom
without escape~


religion
often compared
unfavorably with
nature~
and of course
the same 
in reversal~
until both are
found as 
appearances
simply arising~


electricity
has never been
identified but
as unknown~
neither has
anything else~


nightfall
suggestions
of rest and
romance~
an emptiness
brimming with
stories~


AI
is sweeping
storyland~
telling tales
seemingly 
without effort
and time~
nothing may
seem new~


permanence
may seem as
an anchor to
incessant movement
and insistence~
these words reflecting
turmoil and hope
standing for all stories
seeming to mask
unconditional freedom~


experts
seem as plentiful
pointing to paths
for fulfillment~
and sometimes to
paths never ending~
undermined it seems
by an emptiness
of all words~


faith and works~
death in
separation~
and life as
both and neither~


birdsong
a pleasantry 
of a moment~
a deception of
its eternity
or not~

Premium Member Legacy

Observing the realities of today's society 
While contemplating the legacy we leave our children 
Seeing only degradation of morality 
And destruction of purpose 
As we liberalize a generation 
Making murder of the unseen child
Obsession of materialism 
Exploitation of the human spirit
Not only acceptable
But encouraged  
Dividing by status 
With governmental repression of achievement and the repeated errors
Committed three centuries ago under puritanical rule
A legacy of blatant stupidity supported by
A not so supreme court of lawless 
And a House of Misrepresentation 
Promoting failure
Demoralizing effort and vision and 
Creating entitlement minded robots
Of human flesh and programmed minds
No longer able to rebel only to accept what is, as is
 A cry for the return of the patriot
A need to resurrect the glory
A reversal of the demise of faith 
Restoring hope
An assault on ignorance then will become 
                     A legacy of love

Vernal Equinox



              In the frozen grip of winter's chaperone,
     Cinderella gets walzted in like a dirty faced hussy.
              As light and darkness stand side by side 
                    in a battle for her supremacy.

Godmother has the ground vermin rousted up 
from their hidden abodes.
Busy fashioning her apparels and pearly things.
But kissing in their modes.

Dreams that have lied dormant promise the moon,
meets with sunbeams fresh advances, with golden threads of dress-up in swoon.
New pickup lines and peer reviews
to peak at her pinnacle lines.
Fresh new light clings to the hem of misty morn, 
sown at her delicate feat, like diadems. 
Promised in consecrated dew-drops newly born.

The fowl caress the air in synchronized swim,
in salvos of savoir faire,
bannering rehearsal,
the reversal of Death's Nadir.

Much work to do in presenting.
Gonna have a good show.
Godmother tends to her proper dress.
Tries to tone down her exude of amoress.

Winter looks tacitly, concerned- 
from the cold distance,
but is lit up by the way Spring looks back 
in her gratitudes,
when she turns,
bows and curtseys at her complicit, 
Majesty.

To Be Or Not To Be

What is wrong with using "not"?
It is a negative to an eloquent adjective, verb or noun
Simply the opposite state of being; which one should NOT frown

For programmers, "not" is a logical complement
which helps us filter-out things we do NOT want
and is used sparsely and NOT to flaunt.

By simply twisting our thought at 180-degrees,
it's used to portray an abrupt reversal image in our mind.
A quick look at a mirror, and NOT you will find.

Affix a k-, yet "knot" still sounds the same
but it will help keep our things secure.
From our pretzels, shoes and the ribbon-wrapped gifts we procure.

Add an s-, and the children will be amused.
Defiance is in its nature, is it NOT?
That is, to disgust their friends with each others snot.

So, to be or NOT to be

Author's Comment: Palindrome, also known as the Mirrored Poem, reads forwards and 
backwards.   It stems from the Greek word palindromos: palin, meaning again, and dromos, 
meaning a running. Combining the two together, the Greek meaning gives us, running back 
again. The concept of the “mirrored images” reflects an “image mirrored,” which includes a 
word in the center of the poem as a reversal point for the sentence or even the poem.  
There is no set number of stanzas or any rules for construction.

A Bizarre Reversal of Seasons

Instead of fluffy snow, it's steady rain;
cherry trees have blossomed in Brooklyn,
so did the tulips along Sheepshead bay...
even New Jersey has seen Nature in play!

Unlikely last year when all was white, this Christmas
won't have any snow to make everything bright;
children's eyes will sadly gaze from adorned windows
and wish for millions of snowflakes near midnight!

And there is a greater fear that disappointment may linger:
might Santa decline all requests and dash their hopes;
Santa comes from a very cold place and warm wheather
scares him, afraid to ride his sleight on those snowless slopes! 

The Northwest is being hit by heavy snow for several days,
what a thrill for those kids riding their sleights and having much fun;
the Northeast is experiencing a bizarre reversal of seasons...
and that makes every kid very sad without snow: wouldn't Peter Pan?
