Premium Member Earth Elegant Revival

Mother's sacred seeds
slide into Earth's slick sliming
soil of post-secular soul 
for sublimely sticky
ego-systemic surrender.

Aquamarines

Aquamarines

the secular bay
surrounding the open wooden docks 
becomes my new home
I love to feel the sunshine
return to the outer zones

Tis what appeals to the here as now; these secular 
Eyes cast within a pagans, prize ? Her world which lies.

Premium Member Cameo--Without Ceasing

He loved his God every day
Sending arrow prayers his way
Lifting his praise in simple patter
Amidst the kitchen noise and clatter
Not separating secular,from the latter.

Particular Reason

Particular Reason

Reason for doing did not find particular
Car rolled over and accident was vehicular
After begging nd also borrowing
Had experience which was harrowing
Believe in God and cease to be secular.

Premium Member Thanatourism

Tourists traipse over sites.
The necropolises
Team with the secular;
Teasing mortality.
Trauma and terror marked,
Tasked with introspection: 
To learn ‘Never Forget’.

Premium Member Materialistic

Greed sparks
the ravenous cravings
of a secular mind.

With insatiable hunger 
their spirits covet
desiring beyond need.

Insensitive humans
cannibalize their brothers
with no end in sight.

Where is compassion 
when legalities 
have no morals.

Premium Member Blues Pleiades

Blues evoke emotions
Blooms of secular folk
Born of toil and work songs
Blend of lyrics and notes 
Base in pitch makes sadder
Beats got faster and hailed
Best of music genres

Secular music

what sounds good isn’t always good 
the tunes,the beat, the rhythm 
all could be the work of the enemy 

guard your heart by what you listen to 
by what goes into your mind, body, and soul 
dont let it influence what you do ..
but change your ways by being made new!

Shakespeare

The bard of Avon live
Long live his renowned name 
I gather his words yo become a dictionary 
His lexical usage are more secular and diagnostic 
I move forward with literature inspired
By him and his works 
The sonnets he wrote calligraphes the venom
The venom of wisdom

Secular State

A baby born in a secular state
Of parents belonging to different race
It will decide to what faith
It owes its allegiance and its prayers. 

A baby growing up in a secular state
Of parents belonging to different race
Unsure of its faith, unsure of its fate
In the end, he ends up falling from grace.

The Treaty of the Voracious

Utopian only in the eyes of the incipient yet vastly virtuous inverse commanding 
leagues of the damned. Unbound in a secular disposition it rots, the treaty of the 
voracious. A reciprocal nexus lapsing into a grave valor. Inter-dimensional seals torn 
asunder for control. Looping utopia, learning untold evil.

A Scare Comes Back

I have never been the same, 
after watching, the abandoned

moon, rising gracefully, 
and becoming secular. There 

were no words, no speech;
but a biological war had

started between the shadows, 
like gondolas in the air.

You unexpectedly turn blue.
Somebody had left the bloody footprints.

Premium Member Repurposing Retiring Life

Life invites deeply sacred purpose
when Love widely integrates
enlightened meaning
within co-invested minds,
passion,
from balanced bodies,
co-operating integrity
of healthy wealth's
most resilient potential

Life engaging 
deeply felt sacred mess
co-operatively owned and managed
EarthTribe clarifying purpose.

Premium Member Sacred Meaning

If muses
have sacred meanings
deeper
and before secular evolving purposes,

As ordained vocations
are to painful employment,

Then what music
would
could
should we prefer outside
to health care inside
digest?

Together peaceful
in resonance

Deeper
and before traumatic
warring
wearied
worn out dissonance.

Enigmatic

The secular love:
you are contaminated
between skin and prayer.

Back from the odyssey
finding a crop-circle
in bridal chamber.

Rival was an alien
with a flat stomach
thinking black.

The thieving sperms 
had a glorious end,
unentered in grass.

Your body was churning out
a religion.
I will find out my own god.

The Void and the Wormhole

he heard the golden trumpets calling
sounds coming from an empty mansard
as heat rises over his copper head
over his eponymous cosmos

the maker of secular arts
shall fall before he could rise for the first time

only because there's a leak sur le jardin
the maker shall fall deep down
bound to his cloaked heart of starkness

Friendship That Comes In Different Shapes and Sizes

God loves us all,
Tall or short,
Slim or chubby,
Good neighbour and real friend,
Rich or poor,
Wise or foolish,
Well-educated or educated,
Traditional or contemporary,
Musical or artistic,
Athletic or non-athletic,
Religious or secular,
Near or distant,
Writer or poet,
Divine blessings from the Lord.

Premium Member September's Song

how I love the fall
its tempered coolness 
its gusts of wind 
transport leaves and emotion 
across miles of hallowed earth

the dry secular heat of summer
that turned my heart to kindling
and filled the streets with barren ideals 
has come to an end

along with this seasonal change
my sorrow like the fallen leaves
slowly begins to decompose

Premium Member I'M Not Sure

I'm not sure
if nature's spiritual voices,
if Earth's cultural wealth-songs and health-dances,
are merely subjectively interesting
nutritional creolizing metaphors,
or if all ecological analogies
are necessarily and objectively interesting,
or perhaps even both,
secular-sacred co-arising
Gaian-Organic Hypostatic Unions,
CoOperatives,
CoPassions.
