Eyes see
yet it is the heart
that translates
ears mere cone carriers,
the many voices truly one's own
(schizoid nature of senses)
looking out we see in --
listening we hearken to
ignited self vocabularies
nothing concisely as it seems
Poe’s myriad dreams~ within dreams --
Lord,
Help us gather our pride,
and from our vocabularies sift.
Oft used words, me and I,
hastily casting both adrift.
For prideful words are as fuel,
propelling our souls toward Hell.
Leaving many to perish,
while under pride's spell.
As we examine hearts, and words,
We should readily see,
that it isn't we or I,
But that old pronoun thee.
Words are born and some change, adapt, some wilt;
Norse drips into French seeps into English, hidden treasures under silt.
Blendings swirl meanings and semantics shift our daily use;
once uttered by tongue, electric touch now lets language loose.
Ancient lexis under threat became narrower with colonial treks;
Luhu and Yahagn, two dodo vocabularies now buried within texts.
Pride

Lord,
Help us gather our pride,
And from our vocabularies sift.
Oft used words, me and I,
Hastily casting both adrift.
For prideful words are as fuel,
Propelling our souls toward hell.
Leaving many to perish,
While under pride's spell.
As we examine hearts, and words
We should readily see.
That it isn't we or I,
But that old pronoun Thee.
Tranquility
Words constrict the silence
disturbing the peace
of unlimited tranquility..
Words float briefly
in an infinite tranquil sea..
Islands perhaps..floating.. and disappearing
and becoming once more the sea..
The tranquil sea gives birth to a plethora of
words and expressions..vocabularies dancing..
and fading..
Tranquility is that which we are
and which we are longing to know:
our present national lament...
Racist

Vocabularies store this word,
Which often inflames.
It’s become widely used verbiage,
In our political games.
It’s spewed each time,
It benefits a sensed need.
To propel their message,
Onto a liberal news feed.
“To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality
because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow”
William Faulkner
Attitude

Discouraging words are uttered every day,
And the most hurtful I hear is “I don’t care.”
Dudes get uptight when not getting their way,
That is more lamebrain than a barrel of hair.
Not caring about things is a bad place to live,
And from our vocabularies we should abolish.
Thinking only of one’s self with nothing to give,
Exposes us as being thoughtless and smallish;
Blindfold, sense the beat with your heart
memories in your muscle will move you
alignment to rhythmic body wave
barrida sweep turns to a colgada spin
passion channeling embrace bending
gancho maneuver and a volcada lean
arms around, arms interlock
feel the movement within
synchronicity of one
body, mind and soul
when you discover the rhythm of my inner core
the circle is finally complete
( Learning about Tango Movement Vocabularies )
Learning another language, excitable fun
As tongues wildly run.
Enriched vocabularies with foreign words,
Elevated like flying birds.
Step away stagnant conversation crew,
Jump in rainbow of speech
To teach,
A new view.
Eliminating dreary words,
moods of blue.
I have a best freind from france,
French!! The song of romance.
Even though for now, my spoken french is not a lot,
Un petite peu,
I'll continue to learn french
For fun,
So my tongue can wildly run.
