Chin lifted slightly
Trusting inner sagacity
Knowing we are

walking on two legs
surging for elevation

in the material world

as is my poetry;
It could not be any other way,
two sides of one coin,I now say;
It's who I really am,you see
hidden,then released,in me

Listen to poem:

A mere mortal
I am to AI.
A demi tasse slurp,
a tiny thought bubble,
blowing in the wind,
pieced to pop with puny plunk,
just a pip spat out.
My brain drained to a pitiful 
paltry piddle, into
the insatiable sea 
of AI's knowledge bank....

Come fluttering words,come drifting words to me
A SYMBOL OF LOVE
ah,yes
he loves me still,
such compliments...
these flowers,thrill,
The aroma of love
lingers in his heart

never, now to depart

Demi-gods,directives in whispers
pact made in secrecy,done indiscreetly

Originally defiled,by those whom beguiled
enslave those of light,to serve their might

Brood of the past in constant war
mandated slaughter of each,'till no more

Nature of nature in opposition
each in force gaining position..............

In 1894 EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS was born
when capital letters were the 'norm'-
With inventive and original verse,
Gaps,spaces,drop margins he then did try
and much use of the lower-case i
EE's many  little poetic tricks
sure makes him my maverick!

Night Sweats

Startled at night, I awake,
frozen, motionless, immobilized,
eyes straining into the black void,
phantoms darting about me,
springing from every direction,
heart racing, rapidly breathing,

fantasy and fear running amok

Phantom white,

illuminated by the flight

 of the stars across my eyes

bursting power synchronized

with the rising of the moon

chanted in an ancient rune

spoken secretly by slaves

bowing at their master's graves 

in the pyramids of pain

where I meet you once again

on your way to someone new......

another soul to worship you....

swamped by illusions 
immersed in delusion
a strange darkness 
thoughts in confusion 

‘tis the magical way 
living light is caged
its pride demolished
by cravings upstaged 

demi-gods powerful
choosing paths unjust 
on falling from grace
turn thus to dust 

a mere wisp of straw
can turn the tables
love alone is real
moral of all fables

Smooth-limbed creatures list wayward in passion's grip
   Romantic interludes, the menu fare of their cruise ship
The Captain, tuxedo-attired, dazzles the admiring throng
   Green-eyed maidens swoon his way the evening long

Stars wink to one another on high, knowing nods
   Raising waves higher, the pale moon their demi-god
~ Champagne flowing throughout Night's grand facade...

Upstairs there are naked women 
    Believe me - I like that!
This city can eat you alive if you let it
Sexworkers have a terrible time of it 
The lure of porn and prostitution is a part of our metropolis 
     I live on the Island of Manhattan 
Which is an exciting and dangerous place
           as night falls on "Baghdad on the Hudson" 
the demi monde comes to life 
     I have left that world behind me!...

Unveiled,
the moon will find you
after morose beginning
of becoming – me

Homophobia creeps in,
beyond the condemnation,
the incompleteness.

You walk straight in the arms
of contradiction, confusion
smearing the wall
with your crimson, nihilistic words.

Every other person
a demi – god
stands on your fears, sends whispers
down your ears.

To abdicate the colleagues
of dawn.

I
With thanks for another day
This side of the grass
I will not take it for granted, any day
LORD, may the pathos, the joy,
The restoration at Heaven's Best Price
The Cross, O the Cross
Be my hope and stay, my raison-d'etre
Today and every day, for Jesus
YESHUA, "God my Salvation" -
Has done what no man, god, or demi-god could do

II
He has restored the joy of freedom to me
It cost Heaven everything - at Calvary...

SINS OF THE COUNTRY
I watched the sign of sin and scenes 
 like white blood 
Without the cross for atonement
But I saw nothing but blank
No blood, no lords, no laws
It was intensifying like wildfire 
Never felt like hell fire 
It burnt my skin to death   
Thus,It was a rebirth
And I came out refined
Spangling like gold.
A demi-god
She is transformed
Holding the scepter
Of Satan.
Behold!
 The dawn  Of Armageddon....
