I'm jealous of Tantric Monogamy, but in a good way, if there is such a way. Possibly yearning to feel the same, and yet resigned with what I've got.
Beautiful, controlled craft.

*sighs* Good poem.

Let me just quote a song...

['Wake up and face me,
Don't play dead cause maybe someday I will walk away and say,
"You disappoint me, Maybe you're better off this way,"]

I love how you cut to the chase, capture the core, and express it so well. This one gets me to thinking... yes, we have decisions/choices to make, and inner truth to find.... and yet I feel many are watching a national truth beginning to manifest, to gain conscious.... but I'm probably too optimistic

We have been fooled into praising
everything outside of ourselves;
giving away our attention,
like slaves convinced
that there is no other way.

Trimming the Earth,
like a fresh cut
french poodle.

Binding her with
rules and veils,
so she will be proper.

Covering her with
buildings and power-lines
so she won't be so sensual.

Paving her skin
with cosmetic asphalt
to hide wrinkles and contours.

Taking more and more
of her freely given treasures
without even a thank-you.

Penetrating her valleys
filling clefts and rifts
with phallic skyscrapers.

Leaving a big mess,
for her to clean up,
out of laziness.

Pouring toxins
into the bosom of Sea;
Making putrid the Air.

Big yellow trucks
and buzzing power tools;
worshiping violent sports.

Running around afraid
of being punished.
Pushing and forcing, anew.

I'm tired of insensitivity.
Careless brash ignorance
has had its day too long.

this poem tranported me back to days at sea on a testosterone filled tugboat feeling like i was an alien constantly fighting for my evironmental ethics...yes it has had its day too long.

Great collection of thoughts, my friend! (It would seem that our thoughts on chaos wander along similar country roads!) The sylvanlightning burns bright, this night!!

Its emptiness is filled,

odorless, tasteless elixir of life.

following the directions on the box indeed leads to a full, wholesome boil!

Bubbles, like a multitude of eyes
adorning an archaic swamp monstrosity
rising primeval from a subconscious soup.

Yet, crystalline in clarity, they shine
flawless and irrational;
awe-inspiring non-euclidian perfection,
being, as the transmutation of action.

How you find joy, mystery and commentary on the wonders of life from cooking a pot of mac'n cheese is inspiring, to say the least. From that inspirational tip, it's important to realize that even in the mundane, great beauty resides in the fundamentals, waiting to be discovered by an open mind. It's great to have one around here who's as receptive as you stop by to share their thoughts! Thanks for this one, it was a wonderful read

I haven't been around much lately so apologies for not popping by...I have a lot to catch up with!! And I will, in due course...I will peruse, leisurely...

In the meantime, this:

Still beaming,
studying me like a painting,
you interest honors me.

was bloomin' lovely.

I seek communion,
not consumption,
for you are priceless.

sighs. That we could all learn that.....

It can't be denied that every sacrament is a phenomenon.

Nor can it be denied that if +1 + -1 = 0, than 0 = -1 + +1.

So, therefore, mustn't every phenomenon be a sacrament?

eMBeMLaHV!
