When two or more Yang Dominants
are in the same room,
noticing each other,
it may be time to leave that room.

We have issues curtailing our co-arising competition
to reveal who can win
our CoElational Wealth Game.

All Yang-voices inside
and outside
clamoring EgoSapiens 
hungry for EcoRights
optimizing Elational AnthroLight,
a smile of Namaste recognition,
we know each other from inside 
compassion now,
yet only unusually from outside
pleasure rooted here.

Then we go back to our CoInhaled Win/Lose 
dark and disempowering
political
and economic game of life,
but this despite I-Thou moments,
unsustained iconic monuments
within cooperative co-arising
sacred grace remembering.

Even so,
more and more of us are slowing our competition
for Ego's well-intended
but perhaps not always full-health and therapy
hunger for love is joy,
mind passion is  body pleasure
synergy,
integrity;

slow enough toward MidWay Tipping Point Non(0)
1 Whole Root Systemic embrace
Other's loving eco-lights and brights
and hugs and smiles,
knowing them for our own,
bipartisan together.

Winning together 
Yang/Yin bicamerally balancing
Internal ego recentering
away from a bit too competitively dominant 
over
External EcoPolitical Wokeness,
Yin's full CoRelational ElationFlow
DoubleBinding Balance
RightBrain conserving feelings
for/within/of/without Yintegrity

Left as Yang verbal dominance,
listening in Yang's languaged yammering AnthroUniverse
to breathe out sacred Yintegrity's
in-out-ductive Prime CoElational Time
in TaoHarmonic two-faced fractal-octave +Yang/(-,-)Yin
WinWin co-reiterative 
dialectical compassioned pleasure paradigms

Crown and Rooted
Anthro/Earth
Mind/Body 
bicameral Tree of LiveBranches v. eviLRoots
as Win cannot be LoseLose 0sum equity
as +1/(-,-)0 Bicameral 
ConvexYang/ConcaveYinFormating CoElation 
AnthroMind/EarthEmbodied
Enlightened/Empowering 
Sacred Unitarian/Secular Earth-Universal 
CoPassion/Pleasure.

When YangEgo and YinEco CoElationals share a room, 
ecopolitical outcomes 
are passionately pleasant heaven.


Premium Member Brutality

B ruised by bitter blows
R age uncontrolled, bestowed
U nable to break free, I cringe
T error terrifies… yet again…yet again
A rsenal of belittling weaponry, employed
L ayer upon layer, neglect enshrouds
I solation from the questioning world, enforced
Y ou are brutally brutal…yet again…yet again

Not something I'm experiencing, but abuse is not only physical...It can be mental, emotional, verbal, psychological....Neglect is also a form of abuse.

In trying to find pics for this poem...I traveled to an ugly world. The images are haunting. I'm sickened to my core. The images will stay with me....children, the elderly, women, men, animals...all suffering. I'm sure if we are honest with ourselves, we will admit to being abusive at times. :( Let's make a change.

Tha Ghost Writa

I'm what the people call a freedom writer
the flow is on fire, but I'm far from an arsonist
a black activist and lyrically I'm unconscious
thats me a verbal abuser, I speak in riddles 
sometimes but I ain't trying to lose ya
I speak for my people, so like the holy spirit 
these lyrics gotta move ya

I'm something like Jesus was on earth
but just like Christ is, 22 years of age 
one son, no drama 
ready for death when the Lord calls 
something like a suicide bomber
and karma, I'm so calm, remote activated 
like C-4 explosives, and I'm no rookie wit this
so I'm telling you don't get it twisted

Outspoken, and I'm everything what
the truth should be, the chains is loose,
slavery still exist but truthfully I'm spiritually free
I'm the one GOD called on when his people were crying
and I came to the rescue ready to die 
running threw the rain and walking thru fire

Premium Member Caravaggio's Heartbeat

Heart and art are very closely aligned
My heartbeat accelerates when I view
The artist's canvas so carefully primed
Renaissance art drives emotions askew
Breathless admiration, Caravaggio 
Not one brushstroke out of faithful place
His art is verbal, painful to behold
Whom did he owe his mighty talent to?
Time has not managed his art to erase
Agony and pain on canvas unfold.

Duomo is silent the shade quite profound
Atmosphere intense with shadows of past 
My footsteps ring clear when walking around
Time's worth never lost in shade of years cast
Painting sublime not aged in any way  
Breathless eyes water: pain beyond measure   
Years recede quickly as I contemplate   
Impossible, to tear oneself away   
Intense quick moment at one with treasure  
Transformed in instant as I concentrate.

Votive light flickering a special place
Dancing shadows across the chapel floor
Caravaggio's art won't be erased
His art is eternal he does endure
Renaissance allure always immortal
One look, so undone, my emotions flayed
Tears flow freely at splendid endeavour
As I am whisked through times open portal
The painting ignites prayer so I prayed
My empathic feeling never severed.





Information:John the Baptist was painted at least eight times by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610).

Clover Four For Her

Plentiful clover carpet compresses
Set up, sat on, months of manuals 
Scripted mouth emits, put to practical test

Three leaf varieties finally defeated
Select among smutty monotonous menu
Virtuous entry through untainted eyes

Coveting customer jumps at his chance
Increased green providence giving
In response to her simplistic pitch

From a patch of debauchery, needing more
While desperate to escape, proposal hatched 
Parched plucked stem becomes framed image

Portrait four concedes its feature 
Velour wrapped, museum artefact
Standing on verbal agreement alone 

From her newborn forty year old soul
Sighs, exclamations, ancient albums emerge
Butterfly Marilyn Munroe emolument ascends 

Nectar injector helicopter hopeful clover hoverers 
Pick three leaved generic green challenges - 
Platter of arrangement layers sensation

Sweets tweased by fingers allergic to trauma
Avoiding at all cost chaos of civil gambles
Defence of dollars steps boldly, saves them

Delivers love instant pizza piping pineapple 
Peppers boundaries between enamour and business
Eaten with gusto of negotiations fixed 

Good luck grabs devoid of caution 
Displays desired quatro leaf, ego inflation 
Sprite ties his Tinkerbell in tacit consent

                Renting Return Lust


EMILY DICKINSON: INNOCENT GENIUS: PART 1

Her poems like childhood marbles
contain luminous coloured 
feathery shafts sparkling sequins 
scrutinise them in Light —- brain cells
will swing     for each contain
revolving prisms exposing blings
          —   perceive     verbal see-saws 
to-fro before our corneas ——-
wisdom nuggets floating across
dimensions    
                   free from historia 

Not for shillings did Emily suffer
passings of close Beloveds 
when her translucent Heart with
parachute mind were shredded 
fine —- for this genius to grasp 
that Death-Life is one golden 
ring      both could sting or sing     
Choice is ours within The Voice 
—— tools we grasp in centre palms    
alms as canvasses to peruse   
                           They tumble down …

Her laced snow-white garb 
adorning spine erect      an 
Earth  Angel in solitude inking
                     poem after poem
near a thousand and eight hundred
             channeling for eternity ——
perceptions for mundane 
       humans to attain
Deep Love, politics, Nature
religion, law, Music did not escape 
a lens widened then wizened from 
unitary room on father’s fourteen 
acre loom — like sentinels subjects
marched along whilst she zoomed
for thirty years  
                         A l o n e
autistically      
                       m i c r o s c o p I n g 
 
her musing inner artist danced with
scientist swaying subtle moves —
—lashes signalling like butterfly 
                             antennae high 

probing the gamut of universal 
themes ….  Commerce, medicine 
fashion - - round-abouting detailing 
domestic activities to verse poetic
fondest blue jays receiving focus
sparrows, gnats  —- NO THING 
escaped her iris, yet not liberated 
from longing tears of joy or sorrow 

                         Emily stood moral !

D-R-A-K-E

D.R.A.K.E (Don't Rap Against Kendrick Ever)
 
In this rap game, verses serve as creed,
Whispers echo in alleys, a solemn vow to heed:  
D.R.A.K.E., a cardinal rule, carved in sonic stone,  
"Don't Rap Against Kendrick," stands fiercely alone.4

Beneath spotlight & the battleground stage,  
Many came with pride, only to succumb to rage.  
For Kendrick, the poet paints with a finer quill,  
Each line a sharpened edge, each bar a kill.8

From Compton's heart, beneath the street,  
His syllables twist like cyclones, none can beat.  
With metaphors that challenge the space above,  
And similes slicing through defenses large enough.¹²

Beware brave contender with ambitions to dethrone,  
Against this lyrical titan, your skills best not be shown.  
He weaves punchlines, complex and diverse,  
A narrative so gripping, each verse a universe.¹6

He is humility personified, yet a beast in the booth,  
Turning each song into stark undeniable truth.  
With rhymes that resurrect & beats that decree,  
Kendrick's words are a revolution that set minds free.²°

Heed this warning, encoded in every rapper’s dream,  
Carve it deep within your soul, let it reign supreme:  
Never battle with Lamar, the king of verbal sever,  
D.R.A.K.E. rings true: Don’t Rap Against Kendrick Ever.²4

Fugitive From Gossip

terza rima

Years of experience, a discovery -
I can speak without making use of my jaws.
Prudence and patience are rudimentary.

Some folks get their kicks using scuttlebutt claws.
Their tongues' crude vitality comes with closed eyes;
emotional blindness - the probable cause.

Starting with prejudice, they out and out lie.
When asked, I stand silent, comments I refuse.
To their third-degree grilling I can't reply.

Some fake aggravation, crying through tissues.
But demurring to speak, objection I raise.
Honesty is one of many dead issues.

Bidding no farewell, I leave, making my case,
which makes me their next target, no hesitance.
My objection overruled, noise fills the place.

Turning my back on verbal vindictiveness,
this fugitive from gossip needs no redress.

You are my poetry
and every word I know.
I can write sonnets
about how your lips 
speak to my soul,
and I always seem to
carry you inside me
wherever I go.

You are my poetry
lyrical caresses 
in my mind.
word spoken 
and unspoken,
both horrible 
and kind.

You are my poetry
hearts and stars 
behind my eyes.
loving you so deeply
took me by surprise.

You are my poetry
pentameters,
verbal description 
in panoramic
caricatures.

You are my poetry
because words mean 
everything.
you warm me 
in the summer,
and renew me 
in the spring.

You are my poetry.
loose leaf pages
in the wind.
our beginning,
and alas,
until our bitter end.

You are my poetry.
how more may I describe?
You feed me 
and nurture me 
and make me 
feel alive.

Hear Nor See

Not nowhere near a mastermind just highly inclined 
To turn mental pictures into verbal masterpieces
   Not really into the rap hame message want get through I'm
Gone be honest unless you got a gimmick or sell big drugs don't nobody hear you
   Young black man going through the struggle don't nobody
see you
   These days you gotta use social media get your followers up
but if it ain't making them dance it ain't what's up
   The rap game done switched to you tube views instagram the 
Hustle is likes that's how these new cats getting rich
  Artist don't want record deals everybody independent
made top 10 greatest hits 2 pac didn't make the list tell
me this who had more hits
   All I'm trying to say is I don't think message gets through
Scarface tell real stories if your not him or have a gimmick
Don't nobody hear Nor See you
