Premium MemberSONG

Song
Tugging
Inner lives’ passions
To gleam abroad all…
With song
  becoming light
— of the soul’s embracings within — 
	   longing
      for the open,  full  atmomosphere ~ 
Released to resound 
Fully
 from the buds of all Earth fields
The still-reverberating echoes
Of that Day One of Music’s created 
Omnipotently-composed origin.

Origins Of Over Nurturing 

My need to protect others began during my turbulent adolescence. It started out as the need to protect others from me. This morphed into over nurturing everyone around me. 

Sometimes I felt like there were two of me residing together… similar to The Cherokee parable of The Two Wolves… vying for

Premium MemberThe Origins Of Angelus

Angelus wasn't anyone special. Some might say that he was a loser.
He did more than his share of chasing women, 
and locals claim he was very much the boozer,
but despite all of his vulnerabilities, 
there stood a champion the purest of heart.
The good was always within him. It just never seemed to get a good

YULETIDE ORIGINS

YULETIDE ORIGINS

On the first day of Yuletide
The winter solstice ends
Twelve days until
A new solar year
A feast to the sun
Odin as the god
Pagan origins
Hauled heavy log
Chance to repent
The giving of gifts
Holly and the ivy
And then adopted by Christianity

Origins

I was conceived
in a magical realm 
where I can where the sun
on my head like a straw hat
the sea around my torso
like a cocktail gown
with conch shells and coral reefs
The white sand like flip flops on my feet 
and the palm leaves across my chest
and shoulder like a Gucci purse

Premium MemberA Rum N Raisin Special - Origins

Milly was a nutty cat as nutty as can be
An also nutty poet said, “She’s nuttier than me.”
And that was saying something and I think you will agree
Because that poet was Deb M from way across the sea

Now, no one knows how it was done, but when asleep in bed
And Deb awoke to find that

Premium MemberOrigins of Power

If we could look back to those neolithic times, 
    When early man would walk and roam.
There was a need for some kind of leadership
    Or hierarchy, whether away or at home.

My guess is that they looked to the biggest or
    Strongest, not necessarily the wisest

Premium MemberChristmas In July Origins

It all started in North Carolina
Home of my heart and physique
I don’t think it’s praised in China
Because of such blazing mystique

It began at Keystone Camp in Brevard
Where children were so delighted
To discover the wonders endeavored
By those creative minds, so excited

It was like a sort of storybook dream
Reflections of joy inspired by the heat
Christmas in July

For Mo Mcgreavey: My Mother's Day Confession

I
My first wife of 30 years married me 
Gave me gifts of children, virginity ...
Not in that order ( ha ha, hee- her)

II
As a Christian my body obeyed
The rules of marriage, I prayed
I would not cheat, abuse, or hate
But my mind did cheat: FORGIVE ME

III
I learned as much about orga@m
To please my two (married) women

Finding Order In Ordinary

I
Better not blow away the ordinary
Often ordinary turns extraordinary
How, you may query
I'll answer, if u tarry

II
There is order in the ordinary 
In the hasty humdrum! It's extraordinary
Humdrum, ordinal, cardinal (numbers?)
Answers, answers, before s/he slumbers

III
Humdrum? Can't just pass concepts by
My drum won't hum, I do (Yes, I try)
If drums do drum, where's the humdrum?
Hey stop! Read

Except in the vein of from
Where we had once came.
For this, nobody at all
