In contrast  well on the other hand seems like
opposites attempting to catch the wind. Exerting to resolutions, connecting, and associations. A goal one's  mirror of one's mind, A afterthought? often dazes in one's head according to one's way of thinking, interconnected ways of linking.

Premium Member Power of Love

our aversion
forged a bond
exerting a pull
magnetic

trauma bonding thus
in time we became
the object we disliked 
now stalking our soul

love however
is our lifeline
for it dissolves
all opposites

love employs no force
it is a soothing caress
healing and transmuting
the very core of our being

Taming of the Tongue

Your words flow faster than your mind
Can decipher their impact
No Fetish
But, you are licking your own feet
Sucking your toes clean
For you think you are on higher ground
Above exerting discretion over the dialogue you utter
Censorship does not exist in your vocabulary
Your slippery tongue betrays you
For it knows no boundaries
Your foolishness is never-ending

The state when we are always full
From which nothing can be removed 
Exerting a magnetic pull
Remains through all life storms unmoved

Our true being is always free
Although in form it does seem bound
Unshackling Self from the mind tree
Light of God in our heart is found

Bliss renewal continual
Reconnects consciousness with source
Eye single in life pulse dual
Realised without use of force

observe habit patterns that bind
exerting a compelling bind
from which if we wish to be free
befriend silence, with love aligned 

awareness free from our mind tree
ambles gently through life carefree 
detached yet vibrant and alive
soul with laws of God does agree

sipping nectar from heart’s bliss hive
with no need to struggle and strive 
detached from outcomes we are still
knowing in time we will arrive

karmic attraction veers 
toward the inevitable and 
the unavoidable rolls out 
as it was always meant to be

like magnets exerting their pull
collide becoming inseparable
call it fate or call it destiny
too late to change the outcome

no deciding factor 
comes into play
it just is...
inevitable and predestined

the dice cast
the cards dealt
so we wait to see
how the script plays out

Frosty Morning Ii

Winter reminds me of wet coats
in the hall and the smoky kitchen heat,
of large logs sizzling,
exerting their wetness on the hearth stone;
cut fresh from the garden,
they fill the flagged floor with warmth.

Each morning pale yellow ashes lie
like floury dust around the fireplace,
a brighter yellow appears in the garden,
across the street,
when the rain beats upon the ash heap.


From Perfume of the Soil.  Swan Press, 1999.

Weak Streak

My aching frame feels like breaking Shattered glass shards scattered I'm quaking, totally shaking Battered weak bones smattered My paining form's fully draining Crumbling bits come tumbling This straining strength slowly waning Grumbling parts go stumbling This hurting is disconcerting Fractured frailty captured Exerting flesh is diverting Ruptured decline structured 05.01.2021

Sexualizations 4

Shake all those weights off of your form,
Exerting your power of will.
Xenobiotic fabrics fill
Unseen voids that should be the norm.
Activity creates a storm,
Leaving you all wet from the spill
Inside out, because of the thrill
Zippers create within your dorm.
Acting on operating parts,
These movements define the pleasure,
Increasing the beating of hearts.
On my voyage to your treasure,
Natural motions strike like darts,
Sending you strokes in all measures.

Putting Someone Down

Pressing a ball,
Will make it small.
Do not let someone fall
It is not a smart goal.
If you press a ball,
By exerting some force
The ball goes down,
We cannot make it round.
Putting someone down,
Does not give you crown
It can give depression
To the people around.
It creates fuss,
It disperses us.
Don't press someone
In your discussion,
Do not hurt them
Mentally or physically,
Sentimentally or orally.
Help others in need,
Offer kindness proactively.

Sun

Beam from a spherical body;
Formed by divine hands,
Travel down towards the earth 
in rays;
Landing on men's thin lined 
epidermis,
Exerting its strength on their 
skins,
Thus, making them make 
noises;
Ranging from shrieks to 
screams.  
In their screams, they cursed 
the sun saying;
Oh Sun! May thou loose thy 
brightness,
And may thy shape be lost; let 
it be square.
Look at the scourge you have 
given to us,
It has colored our light skins; 
making it black.
