Deliberate Shades of Insanity
It is simple to laugh
at this sinister comedy,
ablaze with maddening duality.
A true scene of blood-thick bonds,
breaking never, but
somehow,
tightening, like a noose
around the throat of the last
living,
thinking organism,
ascending beyond basic self judgment,
embracing those strange strings
bound to...

Premium Member A Ballad To the Ancestors
A BALLAD TO THE ANCESTORS

Like ripened fruits plucked from a flourishing tree,
They were stolen from a lush paradise garden;
A self sustained dwelling having no need of a warden;
A beautiful paradise where all could work and...

Judgment
What is our purpose?
Why are we here?
Why are we here left in fear shedding all these tears
starring at this demond in this mirrior
blinded by everything I see so clear
where am i going after this life?...

In a world once illuminated by the gold of bygone times,
A dark veil is now woven, a prison for lost souls,
Where critical spirit and free thought are but whispered memories,
Control of education becomes the key...

Ever Evolving - Envirnonmental Free Verse

she leans in space
spins with grace
rotates, vibrates
regenerates

her only disgrace...
hosting the human race

call it abuse; our overuse
neglect with few regrets

past civilizations
cease to exist

do we believe
we're immune?

are we so arrogant
ignorant and blind
not to see reality?

generations give
generations take...

Dialogue - a Discourse
Where Raleigh wrote on regal window pane
I will embark to swim
She warns me that the kelp will disdain
The journey hard and grim
But all because you call again, and call
Beyond the brim where ships enthralled
Have floundered,...

Ubi, Never Let Needy Hungry On the Face of Earth
Like a statue I want to be,
never have needs, 
or stems I want to grow, 
heavy with grains and fruits,
a self sustained being,  
let us needy hungry not be.

Since the start of time 
your...

Chimera Changeling
His policy views shift randomly
with the ever changing political winds
Whatever he ousted yesterday — 
tomorrow, presto change-o ... 
tweetle de dum, it’s blowing back in

Mirror, mirror chimera,
a thousand faces that constantly change
Mirror, mirror chimera,
your countenance...

Where do the nocturnal wild flowers grow?
In the darkest depths of my secret soul?
I’ve heard tales of blooms and how they glow.
As embers burn along a seam of coal.

In the darkest depths of my secret...

I am a person known to few
I am an individual just like you.
I am a person unknown to most
I believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
I am a symbol of individualization

PS contests – self sustained muse,
Versatile mix to pick and choose.
Soothing lullabies by Eve
Swing us to childhood retrieve.

Kai’s round cube confirms the theme
That things are not the way they seem.
Unseeking Seeker holds his rights
For congruous...

Premium Member To Dance With Folly
To claim heart's defeat with blind perception,
And burden the world with nurtured weakness.
To cry long with vanity's deception,
As though self-affliction is still blameless.
To bring a grievance, a contrived issue,
That pours from a soul possessed, where...

The insights withdraw insanity 
climbing up with prayers
