Belonging to family
Differing from slugs

Differing from our enemy,
in one way the same

Our conflict in common
—to praise or to blame

there 
needs

among the

a sense of personal 
ascension towards 
a differing version
of personal reality a
rising within the 
realm of the subconscious
scaling the walls 
that have been built up around 
the mind...

Mule kicked and bucked so high, its
hind legs seemed to reach the sky...
Suffering from many a thing, but vowed 
to suffer war no more,
Soldiers differing with the stubborn 
beast, learned to sit in peace......

I lay down my head
on a falling of leaves
in your gardens’ bed
in sight of your eaves
where wind’s woods plays
scattering the leaves
in different ways
(we are the same –
differing only
in sight
and name)...

realms of reality
upon one side place

upon the other side now place 
the internal realm
which side fills up faster 
that is dependent upon the

Poets are known for temperament
                            ~ like all creative kinds,
Always given to intense argument
                 ~ with those of differing minds.

I will never grow up!
Me either! I scream with delight.
You can’t make me go to school!
Now we have a differing opinion.
Because I go to school every day
So, I can be around others who never want to grow up
And I am not talking about the children....

Feel entirely differing
Emotions towards
Everything now
No longer controlled 
By images of uncertainty
No longer the bit concerned
With what others may think
About decisions made or not made
Decided to only be concerned with
The internal realm of personal reality...

Me,
I
am thee,
she naked
Amidst bodies, I
interject myself upon he
With unknown aplomb, reaching sexual crescendo
He now lies spent, taken to the limits orgasmically, by she, me, naked I

An altering life
a differing hell
Where the dancefloor is burning
Where the guests are unwell

Where the dancer's eyes burn
seared to the core
But not a single sound echoes
From on the dancefloor

Far from our world
another does burn
The slow scorching dance
The ballroom nocturne...

a symposium of feelings
an interchange of emotions 
a discussion of differing opinions 
a collection of alternate points of view
a form for change 
a form for growth
a form for open honest communication 
is what once occurred 
now the lines of communication 
have been severely severed...

counteracts efforts 
made at trying to
create inner balance 
between differing 
perspectives 
on a quest to try 
and somehow find 
a means of compensating 
for the opposing forces 
acting against all hope 
for a better relationship 
in a future time and place 
between the future versions 
of our selves...

from the

emotional
nemesis 
adversaries  
rivals
competing  
upon this 
playing field 
of triggers
both
overly 
qualified 
foes
both
more than

which is why 
a standoff
of sorts has
been created 
one of differing  
emotional 
points of view
battling against 
one another for 
emotional

Like art, religion is subjective,
beauty in eyes of those obliged
followers experience aesthetics  
within their own realms of rapture,
differing philosophies kickoff wars
amidst myriads of gods to choose,
merely beholden beyond spiritually 
wholly invested belief in one true entity
inasmuch as thy brethren's blood is shed in
the name of an all-consuming omnipotence...

A  flower is still in bloom
As the summer exiting soon
And, the sweet smell is tempting
But, soon it will lie down
To give way to a sprouting bud
Then butterflies keep hovering
Of differing beauty of the future 
Obliviously, time may have walked so fast
And,  the  bud  reinvigorated  
Later to spread out her exotic petals 
Flower,  you are endowed not abandoned....

Come outside, there's what to see
      Flower gardens, birds in trees
   Blue skies above, sunshine fun
      So much to do ere day is done

   Uh-uh: Things didn't break my way today
      My circumstances, bleak and gray 
   I'll take a raincheck, you understand
      Idly sift Time's grains of sand ...   

   Two old friends, two realities
      Only one, can Life please...

UN-FEELING  ONIONS

Russian onions are all angry onions
They brook no differing opinions,
Disdain for our tears is obvious
To our suffering they are oblivious.
When we peel them,   we cry -
They don’t like us  -  but why?

NOTE      In English we describe onions  as “strong”,  
but in Russian they  are described as “angry”....

ego and soul in conversation
recognise that they are the same
former with form, the latter formless
differing only in level of awareness 
yet both aspects are deluded
feeling separate from the source 
thus pursing agendas as of desires
spawned by an imaginary identity
until all illusions just fall away
revealing the source of our being
awareness self-aware pulsating light...

Poems have long been written
for rebuttal and dissent
By those who have been smitten
who wish to lament,
Poets are known for temperament
like all creative kinds
Always given to intense argument
with those of differing minds,
Or differing views, if you choose,
free speech is highly prized
The most eloquent won’t likely lose
but may be rather surprised.

Sleep you waking dreamless poet, 

earthbound whore of words.

Awakening to the world 

of differing drifted moments piled

high against all dreams 

still growing. Dreams unknowing 

held against your breast so tightly

curtain thinly thinning gone 

and merge with joy 

and merge with self and merge until

all aspects are but one 

and you are home.

Sweet waking dreamless sleep

the joy of home....
