military skill assert….
under brush and loose dirt

They were diabolically opposed to everything I offered
I decided to take my ideas and go home
One of my best ideas and
Easiest to implement...

After I’d been made to eat dessert, 
You’d take me into your bedroom, 
Recall a memory of us and assert, 
With balloons no despair or gloom.

Let's play the word association game

I'm drinking a cup of tea and I assert that there is a similar comfort from the moon as from tea.
Except the moon has a longer range...

Today I’m thankful for Valentines day…
and I agree with Charles Schultz who had the wisdom to assert:
all we need is love on Valentine’s day…
but a little chocolate doesn’t hurt....

Trump Lies and Growth Spurt

This is something that we must assert;
Have heard every time it will have hurt,
And we suppose,
Even runny nose;
Trump lies again went on a growth spurt.

Edges appear

As what is happening..

Seeming as differences

Dividing no-thing..

Sharp and soft

As beauty displays..

And deceiving when

Edges assert

And seem to take leave

From what is happening......

Keep those feet moving 
And be willing to try 
Have a positive outlook on matters 
Do not let opportunity pass you by 
When a chance is there 
Assert yourself accordingly 
Have that strong will 
Always take responsibility...

to assert or abdicate
we choose in patience to wait
trusting God to empower
in each node a bliss shower

dreams appear and disappear
there is in truth no one here
all that that is is a flame
which may be assigned no name...

meditative
muses
                  assert
                  expansive
graduations
of coloured
                    feelings
                    erupting
within
emotions
                   intuitive
                   expression...

Some say Zephyros blew her off
They say she was a newborn being welcomed
Others assert Horae furnished her clothing to hide her shame
Well, I can see and I have my own theory of this work

All that she wanted was a few squares of toilet paper!!!!...

Gluey aftersight
here is a drunken police officer
loved by a friendless prostitute
here is Chinese opium den
taping around your eyes

Here is a boy loved by many
adored by the crowd
a lonely ballerina who 
would love to change places

Life is a temporary link,
Between the Abyss and the
Abstract, but in-order to take
A vested interest, One must
Avoid superficial condemnation
In exchange for a chance
To assert and secure his own
Eventualities' among
The realm of the living

VIII. Hubris

To peer into the limits of the observable.

Affix thy gaze upon the instant beyond the observed.

The foci of the fabric whispers transient uniformity.

Is it not hubris to assert understanding.

In folly the question begs.

An infant shoot - a tight green crook
Boldly it rises to assert
With confidence its back unfurls
Now upright it spreads out its arms 
Thus fronds set free from fledgling fern
Soon it grows into adult form
With reproductive spores to spread
And produce offspring fiddle-heads.

by resisting the urge 
to satisfy an itch
we employ will
simply to assert
that soul presence
is the command centre

extrapolating thus
we observe the play
of thought form waves
arising and subsiding
within organic form
which we ensoul

centred in the void
we are always free...

Disturbances..
There are these
We know..and they present
Opportunities for separation
To assert once more..to
Claim our self..
Yet..on second glance..
These might Lighten our
Attention toward That
In which they swim..
Springing gratitude
For a discovery again
Of infinite worth......

Your world is only dirt and hurt. Nothing more can I assert.
Another Bontsha the Silent,* from it my life I avert.

* Read the short story "Bontsha the Silent" by Issac Leib Peretz to realize what you do to one another so that you may find salvation!

As I reflect on my old body’s daily decay,
I wonder ~ did God really mean to do it this way?
Couldn't He have let me journey to life's end, whole and entire,
instead of having part after part of me periodically misfire?
You assert emphatically, "Yes! He really meant to do it this way!"
Okay....

palms magnetised with cool heat
assert their readiness to heal
but with ego having vacated its seat
before will of God we choose to kneel

all doings are done as of His will
there is no identity that resides within
God peeps at us through heart’s window sill
He calls to us so with joy we leap in...

we

expected

more

of

you

because

you

spoke

to

us

once

&

then

you

let

us

down---

we

feel,

eh em

(clearing throat),

that

we

have

the

right

to

assert

our

own

lack

of

talent

by

living

vicariously

through

you

&

when

it

all

went

sour---

well, we just didn’t know what to do....

We are on a precipice of War
Yet you spurn the most skilled Knight
Just to stoke your selfish Desire?
You choose pettiness over the Realm

The tempest is Imminent 
Yet you let the chief captain disembark 
Just to assert your dominance against mutiny?
 You choose self-aggrandizement over Lives.

Oh Master!...

Listen to poem:

With each swing of the swing the sea level rises
each lump of coal burned defrosts the ice shelf
each squeeze on the accelerator Earth's future demises
But its too late, or almost too late to assert oneself
The deed is done; we shall reap what we have sown
Gaia will call us to account, our Earth is not our own....

I always give in
To my hearts wish
It all sounds so delish
Why do they always win
It feels like a sin
My love is selfish
I feel kinda whorish
I'm trapped in a bin
This time I won't hurt
My lesson I've learned
This time I will assert
I will not be concerned
Yes I've seen the dirt
But love is what I've yearned....
