There are times in life when we deal with strife
    And are helpless to the powers that be.
Where we are sequestered by doubt... and still tossed about
    By others...

Premium Member Integrity's Confusion
It is confusing:
to politically powerful feelings,
to enlightened economic thoughts,
to systemically resilient integrity,
to RightBrain healthwealth uniting values,

When a confederated government
values home owner residents
for their economic future capital 
gaining value

More LeftBrain dominantly
than indigenous wisdom
that Earth Cooperative Ownership

A million grains of sand takes that bottle in the sea,

and fragment like a snowflake fractal.
How many waves carry...

Left of our Climate

Enveloped in the essence of twilight's hue,
Where dreams collide and realities seem askew.
Let me take you on a flight,
where words dance and emotions ignite.
In the machinations of current climate, 
of decency in sunset's deplete.
Scoffers of...

Her wet lips
long slender fingers

Obsession Part 2
Though I'll remember nature's wonders,
sunsets and the breath of spring,
feel the wind blow through my hair

We see the universe as dancing,
two such different creatures trancing,
we two will never understand

The god of greed, of power and of haste
Has wrought in silence all the joy of Love
From hearts of men and, in his anger, placed
His shield of gold upon the throne above.

We see the universe as dancing,

Today
You have been persecuted.
You have been oppressed and depressed,
Wronged and aggrieved, even violated,
And for what?
Because of gender,
Because your body lacks a certain appendage,
Your chest is more pronounced, or your voice more pleasant?

You have been slighted.

Once "City of Big Shoulders,"
 Stockyards and industrial concerns:
  A man's self-worth measured

 The Face of Livelihoods changed;

The heel grabber
from birth, until deception called out.
Jacob loved to dish out
soup, thick with red gravy.

His twin jealous for
that heavy satisfying sup
but fate would betray him
as would his belly ach(ing).

would be “Harry,” changed

A Mandrake's Gesture: Vol Ii.
The maiden's nipples 
swollen, her bosom
flush with excitement,
hailing her goddess as 
she slighted very 
eloquently, puissant.
The goodness they
shared was of sinful
reproach, a somber
obedience of lovers'
admiration.  
The dusk laden sky 
flickered with prose, 
the sorrows...
