Premium Member From a Passionate Swain a Straightforward Declaration of Love Is Made
I love women who gracefully dance
And sweetly sing; and women who 
Avidly read and who brilliantly think;

And who despise to hate—and who 
Receive and give of themselves, as well....

Realizing a fresh life growing inside, 
What thoughts coursed through your mind, 
I still wonder, oh dear my mom. 
Did you gleefully welcome the news?
Or respond to it with a violent shock?

Speaking With NonBully VoiceBoxes

Dissociative injustice,
like racist slurs and disinvestments,
retributive oppression
for not being SWM enough,
has ecological roots
in LeftBrain anthro/ego-centered fruit
of fragile disconnected autonomy,
against all competing odds
still struggling to win
against all other elitist competitors
for greatest capital gains

Once upon a time there never was an Ego
For it was alive by the breath of wishes of those who were suffocating from it

We war with impunity

And weaponise such things as the 
beauty of flowers

And all for what ?

When come today we have to guard the statues and Cenotaph that commemorate our fallen heroes

Only for them to suffer...

when its concomitant panic and pain freak out
it is your fine figures that are unflinchingly unfurled

Trees In Spring

Beneath the trees, gazing up, I see,
Branches reaching skyward, sprouting leaves,
Filtering rays through the canopy
That cause my eyes to blink breathlessly
From the mosaic prism, colour scheme.

and self-effacing, 

Pointless retribution, 
shadowy diatribe, 
shielded delusions, 
salvation contrived.

adorned with self love, 
its own recompense. 

Identify appreciation 
for gifts received -
