As to my own taste, the less makeup the better. I really prefer natural; mature faces can be quite beautiful, with only a lightly applied heart base.

I hate to fail exams. I prefer they fail me. ~ Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
|
Love—that invisible, divine radiance springing from the depths of our soul—travels toward the soul we love, and that soul, like a mirror, reflects it back to us... for us!
|
I'm not a contest person. Don't want to make my life a competition -- wanting suggestions to come from myself, wanting little as possible for my works to be the prompted themes of others -- not a feed the hungry person, preferring to fish with my brothers and sisters. I believe each God given life is a miracle divine, a bottomless spiritual well of personal creativity, to be drawn from and explored to the fullest unhindered by writing laziness --

I ran a poem of mine through AI just for analysis, not to change or improve anything -- the opinion was frightening. Better than any person I have encountered, as if this thing was inside my head. The next generation really does have something to worry about. We are dinosaurs my friends -- hope our bones will retain truth enough to inspire when we are gone, to be really read as they are dug up and carefully dusted, by facsimiles of living souls.

In the words of the late Mae West, "When choosing between two evils, I prefer the one that I do not know."
|
Poetry is Truth -- and truth connects time and space. If it was true for Plato, it was also true for Shakespeare, and is therefore true for the modern poet. Which, insistently, works the same in the converse. The modern poet does not need new language and form (gimmicks)...what he or she needs is to often revisit man's relationship with omnipotence.

Your thoughts are the raw materials of the universe; be a careful builder, for what you construct in the silence will eventually house your spirit.
|
Survival mode is not where we are meant to remain; it is a temporary refuge for the weary soul while it searches for a path forward. Such is life—we stumble, we heal, we endure, and we press on until, one quiet day, we return to the silence from which we came.

I don't trust the mirror, till I've had a second cup of coffee. Then I squint when I shave, helps with reflection. Actually, a shave for me is just a trim, never letting the mirror truthfully in.

As we converse with computers, there comes a need for a contraction of 'she/he/it', most naturally 'sheit'. With an emphasis on the 'h', to reflect the dual genders. A particularly able instance thereof might be termed 'deep sheit'. And conversely, a potential dismissal might be referred to as 'sheit's going down'.

I prefer to love all things as one, rather than one thing as everything

The world is a vending machine; be careful what button you push.

"Pain is the fire that refines our strength; it may burn, but it fuels the drive to rise higher."--Neo Lechwenyo

"!! IT'S A CHALLENGE TO UNDERSTAND THE POSITION IN WHICH FAITH AND REFLECTION OF RESPECT IS TRANSPARENT!!"
R.jrtanmb Aghori
|
With me poetry is about subduing one's conditioned mental reflexes, and allowing purer inert forces to take control of the stylus. In short, poetry should be about transcending the physical into realms of the metaphysical. The heart of great writing is spiritual and not commercial. One must take the "I" out of a work as much as creatively possible.

You have been a place of refuge for a friend; now discover the place inside yourself where every disruption finds its momentary end, and murmurs of love gracefully ascend.

"The truth is a mirror that only reflects what we're willing to see." ~Bella Joy

Elected officials should not publicly announce their personal preferences.

Anger reacts; wisdom reflects.

When travelling, do it alone, for it is in the silence of solitude that true reflection happens. February 2026.

“Poetic intellection operates beyond all jurisdiction; therefore, all claims of proprietary legitimacy over poetry are invalid.”
|
"One's reflection of mind can make absence that much more insufferable."
|
“Be very careful of not projecting unwillingness to move into Heartspace onto humanity. Humanity only reflects our own individual actions & intentions. If we are unwilling to usurp Ego’s dominance, so will humanity remain in war and fear mentality. Likewise do not blame humanity for war imperatives, as all individuals are part of humanity. It’s never about ‘them’. Point all fingers inwards & backwards, whilst retaining sovereignty.”

It's a good idea for a poet to read a lot of poetry, preferably in more than one language, making no effort either to concentrate on or to avoid the poetry of any particular country or century, including your own: just read what you like. Then when you write a poem, assume your reader has read, understood, and liked all the same poetry that you have read, understood, and liked. That this isn’t true doesn’t matter.

A shadow may change the size but always walks by the figure.
The reflection in the water remains present calmly below the ripples.
Such is the loyalty, such is the trust.

"God has been seen by none; this symbolizes ignorance, which is a form itself.
To realize God is the sign of true knowledge.
Therefore, this world exists for attaining that realization.Om Namah Shivaya
Rishi Tantracharya Aghori Mahabharamnad
Om Jagdish."

Nothing stings more than the truth you refuse to recognize.

Religions offer valuable moral frameworks and meaning for many, guiding ethical living and community. However, historical additions by those in power—often to control or manipulate—can obscure their core wisdom with illogical narratives. Stripping away these layers can refine their essence, revealing timeless principles for a good life.
