Short Reinforcing Poems

i build my nest with
love and nurturing kindness
steadfast compassion
reinforcing it with warmth-
a good solid tree abode.

Vargas pin up girls of the thirties
intrigued us, delighted us, incited us
then along came Barbie, reinforcing
that women are beautiful,
almost as delightful as the automobiles they sell...

Intensity

Full attention seems as

A focus on something

Reinforcing the view of

Something as separate..

Demanding separation..

A potential story of

Explosive liberation......

Reinforcing that sense upon him
For a new world has just broke
Man at peace with man, and himself
Unto this too will have woke,:
To what is alight in all things
A-flame, unanimously
Hailed as what deters all the glooms
For love, that Love: Divinity....

                         theory
               theoretical, empirical
     assuming, questioning, predicting
hypothesis, principle, discipline, tradition
       reinforcing, studying, repeating
            conventional, customary
                        practice

weak seek middlemen
church, temple, mosques
offering solace to the fearful
who pray and offer penance 
lapped up by hungry ghosts
leading to entity attachment 
reinforcing imaginary shame
thus holding us in bondage
in a prison of our making

The last kiss lingered on in my memory
And your presence filled the empty room
The suffocating silence surrounding me saddened my lonely soul.
The smell of your sex, of your body, the smell of you is in the room.  
I have washed it several times, 
but your smell lingers relentlessly, repetitively, reinforcing the memory....

Prone to portray an image to have it all figured out 
Externally put together while internally pulled apart 

Ready to take off armor and start letting down guard
Reinforcing interior instead of constructing a façade 

Possible to flip the script to stop putting on a show
Displaying my mess instead as an opportunity to grow...

An edge

A signal of separation

Dividing 1 and 2..

Birthing of time

And space..and

Reinforcing the

Edginess of life..

Obvious and assumed

A seeming programming

To convince and conceal..

Yet a blurring can

Appear in a word or a

Most ordinary happening

Strumming resonance with

Not 1..Not 2......

you strum my fate
softly, fingers agilely moving
on the strings of my heart
the lyrics you sing
the chords that you play
tearing into my soul
rendering memories
acoustic sound
vibrating my pain
and depths of despair
the chords are strong
a scordatura performed
reinforcing anguish
the song complete
tears glisten
and fall...

Yin /and\ Yang
Ancient measured wisdom
Light /and\ Dark

Two opposing forces
Reinforcing 
Each other's existence

You cannot know dark
If you do not know light
Now,
My view may be twisted
"Seek and ye shall find"
And now,
I dont want your opinion
Of me
To worsen
But by that logic
Surley 
Without hate in my heart
Im only half a person...

An Old-Man-Child
in an adult world
Alone in their gather
of cocktails and swirl

Again but an alien
as when he was eight
The steps to acceptance
he’s loathe to retrace

The pomp and the patter
falls deaf on his ears
Each slap on the back
reinforcing his fear

An Old-Man-Child
in an adult world
shunning their presents 
—midst diamonds and pearls

mishap
                                  
                                    grim and gruesome 

                               good outing turns ghastly

                           she survives...reinforcing my faith 

                                             in GOD.

BROKEN

The fever grips tightly
Reinforcing dominance
The heart is pounding
Hot blood coursing fast
Up into a heavy brain
Sweat on the forehead
A dryness in the throat
Vision, blurred at best
Feeling so very unwell
It’s some damned virus
Multiplying, multiplying
Antibodies defending
Fighting the good fight
Non-stop, hour by hour
Until reaching the top
And marking a victory
Senses slowly returning
The fever in full retreat
With another battle lost
And then – it is broken...
