Gently french kiss your darkness mad,
break the restraints leave obsession;
Lick up the buried aggression;
You may not be scantily clad,
yet soft skin becomes a scratchpad;
Repurpose gall into passion,
gently french kiss;
It’s not too much to hurt so bad,
won’t go on without my ration;
I can’t let go I’ll not move on;
A quickened breath is the launchpad,
gently french kiss .

I have a good heart,
yet it's of God
For the only good thing in me is Him
And strong roots brown skinned beautiful absolute
Golden, soften, repurpose is mind heart
It's beating now in His agape love

Breathe life into the jukebox
repurpose an antique sound
gentlemen whisper and woo
serenade your lady slow
throw a quarter in the slot
hold her hand at the diner
for a moment life is so good
pause in the song shy stutter
daydreams spin conversation.
sharing a float with two straws
pure bliss of the wine and dine
Fall back into nostalgia

Puddles of rainbows drag across the floor
becoming a perfect shade of pitch black;
Much stronger than anything seen before
a firestorm is now more than a comeback;
Knock out punch ideology can pack
has left the past severely brain damaged;
Nothing is left here that can be bandaged,
repurpose antiquated for brand new;
Reinvented pools can now be restaged;
Bright choppy waters to jump right in to.

Are you ready to greet
this new day, Dillen?
To get up off your
couch-chilled feet,
to bring new warm meanings
to life lived without deadly restraint
embraced with sparse complaint
to repurpose all our favored ways
and means for chillin
Are you ready
to give up all ego-fattening strategies
to hardly survive
the WhiteMan's rage
raving consumer competitions
Are you ready
to gratefully engage
all EarthTribes
cooperatively willin
To take
and make
and rake
and shake
and bake
this day's new choice cake
not fake
for thrillin
All who meet you feelin
you, our fully engaged
young Black American son,
the only one
Earth brings forth
for this still perfect multicolored day,
chill Dillen.

We have to Rethink
what our choices are
so we can choose
life that doesn’t stink
We have to Refuse
our single use mentality
with all our ability
making sure we defuse
We have to Reduce
all of our consumption
to stop our destruction
with absolutely no excuse
We have to Refurbish
everything that we make
or nature will bellyache
grumbling with human rubbish
We have to Repair
before replacing with new
so the garbage spew
is not in despair
We have to Repurpose
for all our productivity
to not feel guilty
in our climate crisis
We have to Recycle
for our last action
with a strong interaction
for all life’s survival

I love the furniture flipper shows
Where people buy old furniture, fix it up
And sell it for hopefully a profit
The furniture I love often remains unsold
Whereas the items I think will never sell
Are usually the first things to be purchased
As these flippers repurpose and recreate furniture
I wonder how in the world they can use azure and lime
Not realizing their brilliance until the product is complete
It is rare that I do not truly like at least one of their products
I can watch these shows for hours. Amazed at talents of others
Loving the risk takers who fearlessly create new out of old.

Climate Change – Do you Care
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
Most of us already do, so I applaud all of you
Repair
Regift
Repurpose
We should also do, as there is no need to always renew
Rethink
Review
And Redo
We must remember to include, to make sure we keep doing the do
Most of us have more than enough stuff
So, it shouldn’t be that tough
To give some of them up
It might just then be enough
If we all follow the R’s above
To secure a future for our World
Where those that follow us can tell
That We All Really Cared as well

Lead me home,
Away from these fires
And compromises of dreams inside,
Still existing, slowly deteriorating
Make no mention across
The boardroom desk of a
Yearning heart. Bad form.
Bloody up the forecast.
Wipe clean the plate
For the next green leathered occupier
To present their return on no investment.
Earnings after taxes, depreciated.
With composed discharge,
Diminish the minions.
Walk away from the policy
And procedure of souls seeking comfort
With tiny voices,
Terminate and restructure, build and repurpose
In a careful edit.
Blind copy coconspirators, then press send.
Feed the lion the monthly meat
And while he gorges, hunt for more.
Until you are served up.

STUFF IT!!
Want IT! Gotta have IT! Need IT!
Can’t be the only one without IT!
I’m entitled to IT!!
In ten years I’ve gone through 15 “phones”,
amassed a collection of 35 pairs of shoes and boots,
joined the recycling and environmental clubs,
put solar panels on my roof, and a fire pit in my yard.
I ride my bicycle to the golf course and Yacht Club.
WHAT!!! YOU SAY I DON’T NEED IT!!!
I should downsize, outsource, repurpose
the box I think I think outside of….
Stop being the source of high end pollution
at both ends – creation and destruction.
Where will we put the flotsam and jetsam of our lives??
How about in the proper recycling containers,
finding some place where they can be reused, repurposed.
The next time you Want IT!
Gotta have IT!
Need IT!
STUFF IT!!!

Much like a lucid ambient layer—
I find myself floating down to the surface
Into the stratosphere without a care—
Projections about which I cannot repurpose:
Into my own inevitabilities;
Into the oxygen which I cannot breathe.
I sing the shifting dirges of stars
And the pragmatic proselytism
Of the rapists, of reapers and preachers.
But all of them so far have bled the same
And so many more will scream out my name
And none shall suffice as succinctly as
The one who hath passed her judgment
So fast. Posthaste I declare her dead.

Where did life come from?
asked Winter, of gratitude.
Who and what and where do life-systems become and belong,
rehabilitate
and repurpose
and redeem?
asked Spring, of hope.
Where does live fly away from evil,
and where together,
synchronized swimmers in a coincident sea?
asked Summer, of faith.
How did Live/eviL Tao get here, again?
asks Fall, with incarnating grace,
winnowing harvest's rehabilitating outcomes,
regenerating,
equivalent redemption,
repurposing economic mindfulness.
Each life,
and all life,
all time and space,
our synergetic ReGenesis Project.
How are yours coming along.
on your Beloved
Make Live--Not evil
