Premium MemberWE ARE NOT POWERLESS

WE’RE NOT POWERLESS

We have the power
To overpower mongers;
Let’s out-power them:-
With powering faith and hope,
Let’s reflect empowerment!

Random

The pickled feeling.
Of joy and scratches.
Marked and haunted.
Having enough pens in your bag.

Nothing is blue under the doorframe.
Watches the right lane.
Turning carousel.
And puppets all around.

Blundering feelings.
Reaching through the screen.
Draining all the way through.
Footprints at the bottom.

Blue frog feelings.
Apples tuned to daffodils.
Gleeful fans.
And checkered rugs all over.

I have enough random thoughts in my head.
To power the battery in a tv remote.
That small sound of powering on.
Is meaningful.

Premium MemberWAITING IN LIMBO

WAITING IN LIMBO

Sitting on the muddy banks
Of faded realities,
Lingering in the spaces of time,
Lost souls struggle:
Seeking another Dreamer.

Powering pawn brokers,
Tighten their mogering grasp
Beyond the setting sun; 
Leaving frailed victories festering
And waning in winds of change:-

White opiates coagulate,
Flowing black dreams
Of mesmerized minds;
Oblivious to fading freedoms
Chained and rotting away:-

As time and life sag on,
Let’s not be as a drooping bosom
Sagging due to incised-bleeding;
Rather, let’s be as pregnant wombs
Breaking waters of liberating justice:-

Indeed, let’s scream renewed life,
Nourished keloid-ancestral-navels,
Waxed and hardened by sarcasm
Against the trumping-musky rhetoric 
Streaming against democratic equity:-

Secret Admirers

I have been in competitions unbeknownst to me
knowing...they don't compare to me 
noticing...they want to be me
sensing...they want to have me
seeing...they couldn't be me
laughing...they can't have me
look act speak...like me
stick to your destiny...learning who you are
my destiny took strength resilience courage
most of them don't have endurance to handle
any of the hardships they cause for me
I always walked in my purpose
now I'm just powering up!

Premium MemberTODAY'S SKEWED POLITICAL COMMOM SENSE: A Tanka Trio

Today's weird zeitgeist,
lived streaming every day,
awaits its Emmy:
Historically, scripting
well played powering mongering:-

Musky history,
trumped-up and well-acted out;
penned and recorded:-
Many evils have emmies;
Check recorded history:-

Reading history,
is different from living the tale;
truth never dies out:-
Click on Breaking News and see,
These bold words' reality!

A Softened Heart

please let me know how you feel
if my love your gonna steal
my hearts been broken way to often
from words and lies that were spoken
in a soft and loving way
that just left me in dismay
I'll listen very carefully
the way you are speaking to me
is breaking down my hearts defense
into a million shattered pieces
each honest syllable decreases
the cold I ever used to know
my broken hearts staring to grow
stronger with each hug and look
you're a very clever crook 
stealing away my past 
like a magician that has cast
a spell over my mind and soul
completing my happiness goal
from a true reality
powering your love on me

Premium MemberPRAISE BE TO GOD WHO CLEANSES US

February 5 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Leviticus 14-15

Key Verse – Leviticus 14:1-2 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest.

PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO CLEANSES US	

Praise be to God for cleansing us 
from our confessed sins by His: 
Pardon toward transformation
Purity for our triumphant reformation
Power so we can prevail over temptations
Peace against transgression-turbulence
Prosperity so we can progress against trials
 
Leviticus 14:11 Praise be to the Lord Who
encourages us to present ourselves before Him: 
Carried by His salvation-security
Cleansed from sinfulness
Clothed in His sanctification
Commanded by His Scriptures
Called into His sanctuary

Leviticus 15:14 Praise be to the Saviour 
for inviting us to come before Him:
Bathed into His purifying water
Bending to His proven Word
Burning through His powering worship
Blooming around His performing work
Bowing along His pursuing watchfulness
Believing in His protecting perfect ways 
Blessed with His prospering wealth. Amen!

Premium MemberThe Pendulum of My Soul

New surroundings breathing life into me,
My lungs fill with cool air, it’s sustaining,
Inhale, exhale… each breath: stress waning. 
Blood transporting excitement toward an apogee. 

Continuing to pump, this heart of mine,
With each beat powering this internal clock,
Sixty beats-per-minute, sounds of tick-tock,
Time slows down establishing new baseline. 

Swinging from a new equilibrium position,
My emotional pendulum keeps the pace,
Balancing the new way of life I embrace,
Preventing my mind splitting from social fission. 

Each moment an opportunity for refreshed soul, 
Taking it slow and breathing it all in carefully,
Every breath, filling these lungs heartily,
To live a full life each minute; my new goal.

It Is That Look In Your Eyes

it is that look in your eyes
that commences mine closing
the world disappears
the aroma in your hand 
echoes the feel as your shoulder
guiding, powering the arm
the deliverance is in hand
all the senses wait for the touching
held at bay by a Percheron steadfast
angel wings whisper 
as your hand arrives on my cheek
my heart in a pyroclastic bursting
as enchantment grasps 
every atom within me
where time and space have no meaning
and in that instant when lips meet
the Percherons are in a full gallop 
in a universe gravid with an elucidation
that consumes my life
a plethora of galaxies i so adore
all of this from a social event
i had no intention of attending
where just one perchance look
from afar across the room
became the smile on Klotho's face

Premium MemberThe Long Walk

I can no longer keep up,
your steps far outpace mine. 
My gait is now
barely a notch up 
from a shuffle. My feet ache.
I watch you bound off
into the distance, powering 
yourself towards some set goal
that clicks the kilometers over
until your mark is reached
and you come back.

My distance is meager,
measured within the circumference 
drawn around a seat, 
a vantage point warranting a stop
to take in the view. I sit 
and survey the places I've been
and imagine places where
I would like to go but now,
never will. My thoughts float
the river and ride the tides
going out and then 
coming in. 

We stroll back,
you slowing your stride 
to stay in lock with mine,
the distances we each walk
getting further 
and further apart, 
yet after all this time,
we still arrive home together,
as we did at the start.

Premium MemberSnoring Wonder

Ageing retainer
losing hearing
and codependent consciousness
in this silent sacred season
snoring snowy wonder

A winterish hibernating memory,
Dreams of globally peaceful slumber
resolving GoldenRules 
engaging compassionately personal 
political powering plunder
and mortal offending self-righteousness

Getting mine
while I still can

Revisiting now absent win/win sensory Spring
of outdoor lusty,
wildly crusty
sacred wonder
as I snow-bound 
OldMan wander
into passionately dormant wonder.

Alone Me and Me Alone

Is that you! My dearest,
The one who enchants 
With a display of powering persona
The one whose gaze 
Can set you ablaze 
With a love as innocent as a dove
and as mighty as an ocean.
Is that you! my love,
The one who embraced me
When in embarrassment was i drowning
The one who endured the enraged.
Is that you! my darling,
The one who pampered the tempered
Who endeared me when I couldn't dear myself.
Oh dear,my sweet dear!
Has your endurance has a ceiling
Or does your love. Cause you are
Flawlessly loving the flawed one
Every minute is a keep safe with you
Every particle of you is a sizable treasure 
You make me ponder of how I grew fonder 
and in your eyes I feel all the love
And In your heart I found my place
And in the words from your lips, I savoured delight
And in you i see me
Alone me and me alone.

Premium MemberAdventures In Space

(dons the Sigourney Weaver mask)
Houston, we have a problem
She's breaking up! I can't hold altitude!
Stop opening the pod bay doors, Hal.
I can’t
It decided our fate in a microsecond...
We’re not going to make it, are we?
That’s no moon… it’s a space station
Luke, I am your faaaaaaaather
Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker…
Revenge is best served up cold in spaaaaaace
They’re like locusts… moving from planet to planet
Nuke ‘em. Let’s nuke the bastards.
We will not go quietly into the night…
Powering down
Sleep, the final frontier
Take us home, Number One

Premium MemberResonant Bath

Resonant therapeutic bath;
Powering down, 
I kind of like that lo fi sound;
Cuts like a priceless gem 
releasing tension 
aromatic beats shine like diamonds.
