I took a walk with God today,
His pace far more casual than
mine. His voice a bit softer,
calmer. His visions, far more
loftier, but not views to impress
me...more like, to bless me. Not
stepping to me out-stride – more like,
to lovingly guide. His tone to instill in me
self confidence, and not His awesome
dominance. I took a walk with
God today...met Christ along
the way – and together we made a turn
toward Home....

No words
Where there are tears
There are no words
Where there is music
There are no words
Where there is painting
There are no words
Where there is love
There are no words
Where there is passion
Words run and hide
Where there is sadness
There are no words
Where there is poetry
The poet attempts justice to the word
Where there are tears
The poet mystically appears
Where there is death
There are words
Proclaiming dominance to all before
Music art and philosophy
For not all are artists and musicians
All we have left are words and sorrows
How so very sad
And so very absurd

women,
Viciously, infernally incredibly hot, is its dominance
Excitedly referred to as ‘Women come from Venus”,
Naturally, Roman Goddess of beauty and love, ingenious,
Unsure of falling in love with Venus, no water I fear,
Seduced by folklore, don’t become a foolish Pioneer!

It is up to us
If blissful beams will brew from the
Bloom of our bounteous bond
It is up to us
If moving melodies will mount from this duet
In a magnificent mode made up by the Master
It is up to us
If this handsome halves will hatch and harp
A harmony no haunting heinous one can hack
It is up to us
To nourish it with noble nosh and nectar
And nurture it in nice notions and nature
It is up to us
To deck it in devout drapes and dye in dazzling decors
With no dint of debauched debris
It is up to us
To deliver this destiny to divine dominance
Or divide in the devil’s divorce and discord

sleepless nights
wakeless mornings
thoughtless trance
Although my body moves along
my mind remains fixated
on the epitome of pulchritude
Perpetual dominance of my thoughts;
The longer we are apart,
The more my mind slowly rots
You’ve captivated more than just my heart
You took my mind and my soul
Without you, I will never be whole
I know I should progress
but my mind only lets me regress
back into this helpless state
unable to think of anything else

what is it about the arts
of living, of loving
possessing
a perspective piece of perseverance
a masterpiece of perfect
imperfections
I her Rembrandt
baroque with dominance
revered to deference
sketches
upon a papal pad
indentured within
ashes bellowing
from the dead
examined
breast to head
curled in creases
crest created and waned
wanted wistful and tamed
no answers
only clouded visions
remain

family, love, love,
My father's caresses.
Once I yearned for some sign of love but
now I only look at him as
incapable.
I understand now, and I let go.
My mother's kisses.
I eagerly took them when
I was looking for love but
I took the dominance, too.
Now the kisses and the lack of caresses
leave me with a bitter taste.
I no longer want that kind of love.
I am my own
love.

From his rib I was created
As his partner through and through
A mate from his soul, that makes me his soulmate
For him, I will always be here
I look upon his face
Which is sculpted with God's hands
Definite masculinity carried throughout infinity
I was made to love this man
Like the stars to the moon
I complement my Adam
Standing ignorant in his nakedness
He compliments his Eve
My love is submissive in his dominance
There is no other way
I am honored to be the Queen
To my handsome earthly King
We are Royalty in this Garden of Paradise
Perfectly molded in perfection
Crowned in an aura of heavenly excellence
Cloaked in God's good grace.

history, life, loss, love,
Diametric opposites in the plague zone,
Segregated genders on uncommon ground,
Existential sexes in grey areas,
Black and white battalions abound.
Separation psyches clash the cymbals,
Sabres rattled, thrusted and withdrawn,
Subtle be their subterfuge endemic,
Equilateral counterparts in scorn.
Her losing is a mask of false perception,
His dominance prevailed through brutal force,
Victory consigned a bleak illusion,
Blinded to an ancient Trojan horse.
Triumph may be gloated yet is hollow,
Garland praise a self-deluding flaw,
Leaves he who is the master of the skirmish
Historically the loser of the war.

Hands to lovingly hold
Holding back
Comforting, yet
Boa constricting
Loudly wrapped, into
Strangled silence
Declarations of love
Concealing muted anger
Mother of my dreams
Warden of my nightmares
Protected by your spirit
Smothered by its dominance
Momma's boy
...Emasculated

love,
frightened,
as she sits and waits
for your gentle hug,
that sweet touch of yours
afraid she’s not the one,
the one you’ve been considering,
are you in search for another
who can give you a more pleasant feeling
even if it’s lust the other is providing,
is that more surpassing,
someone who wants to take advantage,
of the heart you own,
it’s your preference,
someone whom shows,
that everything can be handled,
someone that provides comfort, and relief
or is it someone who wants to possess dominance
controlling every minute,
showing nothing but hurt,
yet giving you an exhilaration,
one you’ve never witnessed

WinLose competitions
evolving
can only emerge from prior ecopolitics
of predominately cooperative relations

Prior cooperatively evolving WinWin dominance
is ecologically necessary
and logically implied
to derive anything like
WinLose capital-building economies.
The opposite is not also true.
WinWin cooperations
evolve only as further emergence
from prior cooperative ecopolitical relations,
more resonantly resolving
than WinLose degenerative unraveling.

I'm angry
so angry
The testosterone is killing me
it has problems no-one wants to see
I love the dominance
I love the sex
I hate my emotions,
so I repress
I'm angry
so angry
I can't talk
without them laughing
Why am I angry?
so angry,
not sure why I'm dying
slowly
I finally realize why I'm angry
so angry
I tried to impress myself
while flying
Tragedy spoke

love
A shiver down the spine,
Stomach squirming in jittery nerves,
It lives.
With a mind of its own,
You feel the burn, white hot,
Racing through your blood.
Frightened of being consumed,
How can one withstand,
Unbearable magic meant for the hands of the gifted when we are not?
Say words, cast your spell,
And watch as all attempts at alteration fail,
For love is boundless.

(I Know)
What Love Is…
I know what love is,
I’ve seen it before.
Held it in my arms,
Kissed its tender lips.
Shivered from its passion,
Nourished from its embrace.
I know what love is,
I’ve felt it before.
Relished in its anger,
Torn by its deception.
Kicked by its jealousy,
Laughed in its face.
I know what love is,
I’ve lived it before.
Surprised by its consistency,
Blinded by its strength.
Polarized by its dominance,
Amazed at its forgiveness.

i love you,
To Love, means being submissive and unconditional,
when 'I' transforms into 'we' yet keeps I-ness of each other intact but irrelevant.
One has to take it in true context and not in contradictiön.
One soul and two bodies,
the hight of understanding by keeping individual identity at respect.
Here dominance stands none.

life, me,
Though his fist weighs me down with his dominance
He brought an umbrella for my heart on this sweltering day
It would take more than a black stain
Upon my eye, to have me leave the beast
Though his fangs may be sharp and his claws all too jagged edged
It’s like honey at the tip of my tongue
Like the click clack at the break of a writer’s block
Moments that draw your every dedication
And fight the nooks and crannies for which suicide hides within
I could never leave my beast
The silence that shoves reality into my face
The ripping of sleep from my way
To love a beast? How could I?

beauty, black love,
Hide your true self, lighter is better
bound your beauty in brown shadows of regret.
Fear your power
Fear your dominance.
As the world, throws their lies.
Blurred is their vision.
Would you allow wheat among the fields
to shade you, or
Darken clouds, comfort you
embrace what is yours, embrace your
skin.

The Change of Color in Fall Leaves,
From Yellow to Orange to Red.
From Hope and Honor to Happiness and Joy
to Desire and Love.
From Cowardice and Deceit to Distrust and Dominance
to War and Danger.
Negativity and Positivity flowing in the air,
In the leaves of Fall, redesigned week after week.

age, dream, food, love,
All things can tempt me. Happiness may tempt
Love without dominance and age exempt.
A natural accord; young as I was!
Mine prudent nature knowing what may cause.
Tomorrow came and went whilst purpose changed
Amongst the laughter life adverse, estranged.
Now, impulse of what's proper to consume.
Temptation left not a delicate bloom.
A final push, there's feeble resistance
Weaken by even an immense distance.

introspection, life, love, mystery, moon,
How raged the moon with whitest luminescence,
Reflected in my starving eyes,
Dominance, nocturnal omnipresence,
Swelling in the black eternal skies.
And how it shone with pallid incandescence,
Turning tears to icy milk,
Freezing them with spectral iridescence
Upon my cheeks like balls of frosted silk.
Until I wept to point of obsolescence,
When the rivers all ran dry,
I knew you stood and felt the equal presence
Underneath the self-same moon as I…

What is this thing
called mortal love?
Yet not a Thing
at all
At least a Relationship,
Which, of course,
requires two or more
to adore-fully dance
or, divorcing,
fall
Back into Earth's green ball
planting and replanting health
without one sign to recall
LeftBrain conserving dominance
preserving StraightWhiteMale prominence
throughout his-story's clumsy appall
Peace brokers wondering,
How grows this integrity,
felt immortal passion
not not mortally unknown
after bodies
and before spirits
good health natured
co-arising All
These sacred relationships
for Earth's immortal love
in one dynamic place,
passions springing forth
toward warm best known
recall.

10th grade, dark,
a case of slippage.
where is real sanity
in rehearsed living
befuddled thoughts
search to hunt it down
it is somewhere
somewhere close
smell it, feel it, imagine it
yet you cannot describe it
amongst all that is bad
cruelty becomes love
knowing not knowing
there is no excuse
for dismal ignorance
pain is now pleasure
dominance to submissive
passions raw then tender
enjoying punishment
seeking acknowledgement
of loves desire for attention
begging unbind my heart
