It finally did register
Register at the last line,
Lines of love brought down
Down to the level of hoax.
Hoax on a real heart
Heart full of yearning
Yearning for honestly
Honesty of thought and emotion.
Emotion is the carrier
Carrier of divine mind,
Minds the way you’re treated
Treated to abysmal mulct.
Mulct of all real returns
Returns of the day failed,
Failed and fell short
Short of a new death.

Population of Earth
The existence of humans has not been threatened with extinction since homo sapiens appeared. Our human population was under 1 million prior to that time frame, around 10,000 BCE. During this previous era humans were below 1 million a lot of the time.

Since 1800 population increases have been continuous. Although this peaked in 1962–63, and has slowed it hasn’t really dropped completely. Yet, the UN has a lot to say about the opposite happening, I believe this is propaganda. Demographers have totally opposing...

Actions
Working out the steps
Is what humans do all day
To take right actions.
Influence yourself
By the way you treat all others
Rather than clashing.
Endeavor to help
Those that persevere with you,
You'll need them someday.

Declassified
You've removed the locks from her heart,
Yielding to the yearn for that touch
Yesterday when she sat with you for tea,
Yonder at the YinYang Specialtea cafe~
Yes was the answer she gave
Yet all for those moments till then were
Yours to make now become forevermore,
You've removed the locks from her heart.
Yielding to the yearn for that touch
Yesterday when she sat with you for tea,
Yonder at the YinYang Specialtea cafe~
Yes was the answer she gave
Yet all for those moments till then were
Yours to make now become forevermore,
You've removed the locks from her heart.

Heat ~ of our Ballad
Fierce warmth emanates in this pulse
Between lines that spill out,
Come and go in cosmic dulce
That often brings love from this pout
Meant to swelter with pure impulse
Driven without doubt
To our precipice in a flux
Capacitors full of nous hot.

Robin Days
Days in the sunshine,
Suns rays shine feathers
And robins yellow beak.
Tweet the days away
In blue skies remembering
To sing in Springs tune.
Mellow moments merge
Soothing so sweetly to surge,
We fly with the birds.
Suns rays shine feathers
And robins yellow beak.
Tweet the days away
In blue skies remembering
To sing in Springs tune.
Mellow moments merge
Soothing so sweetly to surge,
We fly with the birds.

Raindrop
Rains at the dawn
Arrive like sighs,
Inner release soaks until
Noons sunburst reigns
Drying gray cloud eyes
Returning from their rush~
Overwhelmed by whys
Ponderance, the splatter, of love.

Closed Book ~my enigma
A labyrinth begins from birth till death
And so we all have this book to write in;
In between the lines I found all the parts,
Pieces and parcels of roads or helpings
That drew the art, built my mind and story,
Herein laid the bricks to make my wishes
A sovereign block in obfuscated lanes
That I drove or was driven by desires,
Waking in the mornings passing till dusk
Showed this person was more than math sums
And abridges of the hours in a day.

Softer Options
Haven't had the experience
Of office politics to treasure,
Are they all that great in measure,
As ideas toy in thoughts during times of leisure.
Surrounded by skeins of dreams
Ordinary in their schemes,
Beneath the bridges of memes
Characters unknown nor seen.
Here lay I in pure redolence
Never felt in all my experience,
There is he that talks over the fences
Between the lines blurred in defences.
For sweet ambrosial moments
Only spoken of by romantic poets,
Dual purposes and emoluments,
Events such...

Heart of the Universe
In a crystalline realm there is little room for soft bodied life. The mammals of the human Universe would not do so well here, except in pockets of green spaces on the many crysalized plenets and moons sparkling in lovely blue and green starlight.
The transwarp ship, Cosmosis, that brought our family here had simply functioned too perfectly. It had gone above and beyond the designs parameters entirely. Who knew? It would take a large 12 member family to another dimension of real space. Yet very separate and zero tendrils of any sort of hyperspace links to it could be found from...

Cameo Eyes
Luv me with those cameo eyes,
Please let me in like dreams,
Moonbeams showing silhouettes
Upon the starlit skies.
Over and over my feet dance
In ebullient exultant excess
For the one, the only kiss of promise
Lighting our paths for sun to bless.
Luv me with those cameo eyes
Please let me love your dreams,
Moonbeams to Mars, to life
Plowing arcs to yon stars.
Please let me in like dreams,
Moonbeams showing silhouettes
Upon the starlit skies.
Over and over my feet dance
In ebullient exultant excess
For the one, the only kiss of promise
Lighting our paths for sun to bless.
Luv me with those cameo eyes
Please let me love your dreams,
Moonbeams to Mars, to life
Plowing arcs to yon stars.

Flannelized
Flannel sleeves
Silken cuffed
Warming threads.
Softness soothes
Cold shivers,
Now toasty.
Bundled snug
As a bug
In wool rug.
Warm body,
Mellow voice
Fair words kind.
The right kind
Of warming
From within.
