Insisting it is not a crime

To win an election
And Biden may die with more time!

concepts confound
we have none
insisting on touch
to acknowledge reality

as we get to
definitive knowing
questions cease 
when light of Self dawns

Elon Musk, 
slipped into Universe 12 to borrow a spare quantum-flux;
returned with three versions of himself in tow,
each insisting they were the one who’d invented tomorrow.

Which One Is the Insister

She insisted on careless key twisting.
Now she's mad and locked out and it's misting.
And her sister's locked in...
Who's "in-sister" again,
If the "out-sister" did the insisting?

Rehab

Rehabilitation from taking second and third glances,
From being enamoured with rust
And letting love turn to dust
Insisting it’s the real thing.
I’m learning real love can’t be downloaded.

Premium Member The Fight


A life of pain,
Attacking brutally;

Minimizing my gains.
Unwelcome? Absolutely.

Controlling me with fright?
Insisting that I take flight?

Taking away my fight?
Not in your life.

Premium Member CURRENT AFFAIRS

Headlines swirl like restless winds, each gust insisting it is truth;
voices clash in crowded squares, and certainty grows thin.

Yet quiet hearts still listen — seeking light within the noise.

Premium Member Kamala's Turned Up the Gas

     Harris can’t run from her record, for sure
     Never admitted Biden's health was poor
       Not running ‘half-assed’

At Dawn

The dawn broke
with thoughts
raging furiously
insisting on response
capturing my being
now a prisoner
with no escape route
an accessory before and after the fact
plead I for freedom to engage the heart
on its destined course.

When I Come Home

Well, you’re at the top of the stairs
Completely Sincere
I hear you stop and listen
And you giggle like a dolphin

Stamping bare feet,
Insisting,
Both of us that is,
I adore your smile
When I come home

All Is Mathematics

All is mathematics
The wind is mathematics, 
and your tear ducts
me insisting we continue, 
the curvature of your smile

the rock you sat down on, 
the ocean that sighed in your stead

the proof that life is a theorem,
which can never be proven to be one

Premium Member Words

Words

appear discretely
but seem to grasp us
by the throat
insisting they are
most fleeting
and simply point
to the thing
to which they
point..
What is that thing..?
it seems as
something between
something dancing
and shouting:
don't pin me down...!

Premium Member Driven Fate

Wind, the Barber,
   shears the trees
   decisively
with naught but
   his own  Fall design
   in mind,
Refusing imaged   glass
   for his reluctant clientele,
insisting    they trust
   his ancient  artistry,
Born of  a driven 
   fate again
   and again.

Nadir

Reaching soil from from one end of the earth to the end.
Anointing nutrients of life to growing existence. 
Insisting on equal distribution and fairness of quality.
Nesting in the clouds until its due time.

Premium Member Trixie My Insistent Muse

Trixie is insisting on a hyphenated name.
Okay, I say. Let me get a pencil. She insists on a pen.
That one is blue ink, she says. I want you to use black.
The most demanding muse ever.
I do what I can to comply, so she will stop with the demands.
Where is my car? She asks.

A Christmas Memory

Mum said the rooster was my christmas cock;
Serving me just the wing was then a shock.
Insisting on the drumsticks she called my bluff;
Beat me and said drumsticks were daddy's stuff.

Premium Member Reducing Knowledge

Insisting one might was well be dead
Feasting upon dark emotional words
This is how the young have been led
Magnetic this compass for the birds
Signal sent be that of infrared 
Drawing them all in by the herds
This be part of their pseudoscience 
By misusing the cognitive science

Poem 6

The sound of harmonica, inminent regression 

Every curl of his hair moves you  

Moves a tireless mind thirst for change 

 

The sharpness in every guitar cord takes me back there  

Asking you to open up to me, no way to keep insisting  

When all I really want to do is baby, be friends with you

High Fives

Giving high fives
to the giggling squalls of rain
I feel like I'm in Millionaires row
Laughing at the people
who cannot summon a smile
All I see are blueberry pies
not listening to the world's advice
If you have a hand
Give in to religious Chant
still insisting theres meaning in it
This madness is too sweet to resist

The Mighty River Flows

The mighty river flows,
He has the power to keep its motion,
a force of  impressive water running
through the lower mouths of
deep canyons and along the
ribbon of wending roadways,
a determined waterway,
insisting on carrying its
inhabitants to spawning
pools awaiting life and death,
an irony of God.

Loneliness

It does rattle the Bone 
To be oddly alone 
And one makes prone 
To fingering one’s phone:
The seed of solitude sown 
And fruit of boredom grown, 
Life is a hollow cone;
One like a defaulter over a loan; 
In ears a loud insisting drone 
Of an unseen plane being flown…
 
Loneliness reaches the bones 
And speaks in our moans.
