Premium Member after the downbeat: -an ars poetica-

upon waking
no upon the waking
this waking neither first nor last

cold floor
a warm bulb shivers

the alley cat
still feral
counting its own lives
already half made of sound
arriving before it arrives

casts what your february
in its orange persistence
cast before

the hour of the lamp
is standing without you

one thought
and the thought that will not come

something there
has sunk its canines into
the syllables
your syllables
syllabub curdled
frothing

the syllabus
your mother birthed you with
wet and new
red-ink margins

not rehearsing them
no never rehearsing
conducting them slowly
as an orchestra pit must

when all the musicians have gone home
dry and gone

and no one answers the downbeat
and no one
and no one

two   three   four

the downbeat has no one left to strike

you lift your hand

the cat walks out of the sound it made
already elsewhere
leaving where it will return
leaving before it has left

Premium Member Bible

Bible



The Bible is life that is eternal, forever. Phenomenology.          (Reality.)
Violent ideological idealism ruined me. Psychology.
The Bible noticed me, revealed its teachings to me, and now I live. Theology.



I will read the Bible until the end of my life, my faithful companion in life,
       This book is always with me.
Wherever I go, wherever I go, the Book is always with me.
It is with me and will always be with me. My new life grew out of it.
     Growing up, I got another life in my present life.
The Bible will always be with me, life also advises this,
     And everything will be decided by its faithful guidance.



Thanks to the Lord and all God's writers for this masterpiece.
Thanks to the ancient sages, prophets, evangelists,
     apostles, martyrs, writers.
Many, many centuries ago, the writers of the Bible had no idea what they were doing,
     But I testify that they have saved many, many lives with their work.
The Bible is life, history, theology, philosophy, future, faith and hope.
Truth, reality and future. There will never be a utopia.

Logic of the Heart

Logic of the heart:
A phenomenology

One plus one must not be the same with two.
Someone would say ' I'd prefer not to say"
Or perhaps ' I do not know'
maybe 'what do you want me to say?'
it could be also 'whatever you say I agree with'
And it's not impossible for me to say
'Honey, what's in the number, small or large one, i will love you forever after'.

Phenomenology of the Heart

Phenomenology of the heart
A method.

From the complexity of the heart to the simplicity of the heart
In its simplicity
you will only find one thing
that is intention.
Phenomenology of the heart is an honest method
to know
what is the true substance of our activities,
our intention.
Intentions are not a composition of spoken words
that can be sensed by the audience
But intention is composed inner words
we realize or not
that only we ourselves know.
Arranged words that are spoken
what we say is the intention of an activity
often just masks and lies,
as camouflage
as a denial
as self defense.
Phenomenology of the heart is an honest method
to form an honest person.
Intention and deed is one.


Premium Member Watch Out For the Edges

got pigeon holed early in an obstacle race
called a fifties town culture and army base

[...nuns...ex colonels and sergeants for teachers...]

died many deaths but weathered the scars
mind can hold now what's as far as the stars

[...beyond the books...the preachers...]

arrived at a philosophy of fractal phenomenology
truth and what's true being more than mythology

[...got one foot in the abstract...the other's in this grave...]

this chain we call existence has a few restrictions
reality's construct base is inherent contradiction

[...walkin...need a cane now...watchin...the world slowin again...]

Premium Member Silly Words

I'm not in step with the Serious Bards
For me, it's the sillier words that chime
I see quadrangles instead of a yard
Jaunty hootenannies I find sublime

I don't howl or cry out, I ululate
Clip-clop and flip-flop, both such disarmers!
Gummy tutti frutti, please be my date
Phenomenology - what a charmer!

Silly names rule - Truth or Consequences
Walla Walla is a beautiful place
Humpty Dumpty brought down the defenses
Winnie the Pooh is a bear to embrace

Sonnets, free verse, rhymes, limericks, haiku, tomes
Silly words deserve their place in our poems.

An Anachronistic Poem On Apple

Reminds many of Adam
Some of anatomy
Some of botany
Some of iPhone
Some of Steve Jobs
Some of etymology,
But Newton of the why
And that’s phenomenology!

—	Ram, R. V.
