A doe identifying as a bear

Sincere love from a heartfelt place 
Don’t need question marks
It somehow finds an identifying space
Where it’s nurtured

An old biologist named Ulysses
  Had a job identifying species
    Ulysses was arse-backward
    His technique manufactured
  'Stead of faces, he examined feces...

The turkey awoke, heard knives sharply clickin'
then muttered a phrase that made my blood quicken
said I'm sorry to say
that just for today
I'll be identifying as a plump chicken

Took Her Trusseau

Looked great wherever she would go
And this I must make sure you know;
Feature identifying;
She was supplying;
We could always tell by her trousseau.

Autonomy thus selflessness,
Propagating within my independent self,
Drenching my soul with ignorance
Of wisdom, for the outside world
Is not sought…
Identifying myself, as
I encrust myself amid my shadow…...

If desire be the causation of our action
Having roots in dissatisfaction 
Requiring movement from here to there
Failing to see God everywhere 
Know that we are enmeshed in delusion
Ego urge being the motivation

Love without hope

Identifying true hopeless love in the eyes of the beholder
as she winks in return my heart melts in smolder
Hope instilled once again in my hopeless soul
Vanishing as she drifts away another lonely dark hole

Illusory inmates I'ying internal
intricacies initiate informal
invasives identifying 
incomparable inconsistencies
ill initiated incompatibilities, incomplete
incomprehensibly Ioa-ted introverted
intellectually inadequately 
involuntarily involved iconic idealisms....

Yesterday we celebrated Jude
Fulfillment of long past milestone
Identifying with Chritus the Bona
A mission, in humanity, for humanity
Yet the path still unknown
Like all men as we are eternally
Yet the Most High shows, teaches, guides
For them that seek Him, He reassures
For to Him is all destined!...

       Enlightening, exciting, entertaining
Enthusiastic, suspense-filled, thrilled, glad

                Voting
            Duty      Voice
      Identifying, studying, checking
Excited, enthusiastic, disillusioned, saddened

Inside, I was compelled to decline
How could I be yours when I was mine?
Though now acknowledge true transcendence 
Identifying independence.

Quenched quality of being free
Prime power of owning me,
Spiralled down to feeling blue
Detrimental déjà vu.

Though wishes made came with season
As does choice and fair reason....

Identifying bodies
On a show like C.S.I.,
On scars and beauty marks
Or dental fillings did rely.

Our bodies, every one unique,
Have freckles, dots and lines,
Arranged haphazardly in ways
That DNA designs.

Though nowadays the morgue has
More at hand from which to choose,
For it must be much easier
To track down one’s tattoos....

It is human nature to squeeze,
to poke and feel, questioning
if imagined or real; a part of
creation, our shared mystery – 
Identifying layers to grasp and
peel...using the power of mind,
sorting and labeling all that
we find – no measure nor weight
as yet to the soul, looking beneath
and above...as the atheist scientist
probes a heart 
to prove his love.......

                                         Justice
                            Subjective, questionable 
                          Building, creating, reacting 
                Colony, anger, happiness, perspective 
                        Identifying, acting, laughing
                             Cumbersome, vocal
                                          Talking...

when students ask about metaphors
and similes 
i love it
but please stop identifying juxtaposition 
i hand them a 
dictionary
look it up yourself pal
i never had a classical education
and can't pronounce Persephone 
and don't 
believe anybody can
so just avoid that bit of the curriculum 
avoid the greeks
give me the graphic novels unit or give me death
metaphors be with you...

Listen to poem:

Signal fires by the second ignite the abyss
Only an assassin of the deep that knows not to miss
Love in the universe more than defines this
Darkness is given more than a trillionth kiss
Snaking through the galaxy distruction in its hiss
Identifying as a rock it will leave a mark on this premiss
Gone will be all worries brought by its dismiss
Noting the impending doom, I will enjoy such bliss...

Birthmarks,
unique identifying signs,
cover our walls.
Scuffs, scars, scribbles,
fingerprints, nicks.
Randomly appearing after
marking the birth of our son.
Would I trade those pocked surfaces
for pristine blank spaces?
No. The memories of that little boy
becoming a young man is the story
those walls tell.
A narrative in which “The End” came too soon.
Deathmarks? No one talks about them....

Creatures scratching at my door
Ripping sheets off my bed
Imagining shards of my soul being ripped
Minutes passing being unable to breathe
Silent whispers pass through my head
Ongoing loud scratches outside of my door
No whispers have escaped my mind

Killing creatures in my dreams
Identifying my horrors becoming true
Sizzling boiling hot water in my bathroom sink
Scary noises of decaying death...

I curve throughout the sky, making myself known,
To all the people identifying me down on Earth below.
My radiant colors shine brightly in the sun's beautiful glow,
I am a sign of peace to all on Earth after a storm,
Just as God planned, I appeared to Noah,
To fulfill His promise once the flood was formed.
I'm known to end with a pot of gold,
Or a colorful munchkin land,
I often appear in the sky above,
Just like God had planned....

For purposes of
Research
Computing
Security
These values
Will be determined
With their ranges
As bases for
Identifying
Human health conditions
And actions:

Location
Line of sight
Velocity
Blood pressure
Body temperature
Hormonal secretion
Heart rate
Brain waves
Breath composition
Etc

They each have codes
We carry the device
all the time and must
never try to lose it
Lest we may be deprived
of the right to live...

New York City is where people who are
disappearing go. It is very quiet
here, silent. A man and woman
made love below me. I could hear
the bedsprings ringing and the
woman singing in sensual pain.
My thoughts sped up as they humped
faster. Everything is dead in my room
except me and my plants. If I keep
on identifying my feelings with the
feelings of things, I too will be dead.
They are talking and laughing now. His deep
voice vibrates the air. Her laugh
is like water....
