#polarity
His father told him, "Boys don't cry-- Why can't you do what real boys do, like playing football? Just get out of my sight"-- His father's last cruel statement left only delight... He left the house that wasn't a home, gazing at the sky And the rain softly whispered, "It takes a real man to cry"... The clouds parted company, leaving the radiant ones' smile 'Twas nought for his young legs to eagerly walk a short mile... And there she was, free of judgment and naked of pride The lightness of Being, swathed him with Love's tender kiss When in the arms of Mother Nature, nothing felt amiss... She welcomed him with her roving carpet of evergreen It was his secret place to cry, amid wild flowers, unseen... He asked the fairies for permission before picking buttercups The pulchritude his immortal soul beheld was nigh utterless... As he was offering cups of the sun to the father of the woods-- He caught a glimpse of her picking daisies Which she cheerfully offered unto the meadow stream Fifteen years later, they wed, neath the Rowan tree Transcendent of worldly desires ~ One with Thee...

Picking Buttercups
...There is no element, in existence, equal, to me, with the force, and polarity, of you. Take me...take me, further in. I will not, I could not...ever, resist you. My will, is hammered carbon; yet, this contract, of the soul... it is ironclad. Draw me, into the tensity, of your unbroken field. Does your ghost, hover like magnetite, at the northernmost point, of its own compass needle? Does your shadow, dwell in its arrowhead shape? Does your heart, steel, its directional pull? I cannot pass you by, but to be drawn, into the divine gravity, of your embrace. Sweet...so sweetly, do you hold fast, to me. My lips, shudder, tremulous, with an irrepressible urge to glue themselves to the nectarine sweetness, of sunbaked flesh. Take me...take me, further in. Leech me, of resistance. Break me, of my defenses. Shatter this separation, that pulses fiercely, between us, and pin me, to the core, of you. Keep me, always... yours, alone; yours forever... and worlds, may end, castles, may rubble. Entire civilizations, may fall, to ancient ash, Before these lips, could ever dream, of leaving, you.

I told them that I am a Jew. They beat me up anyhow. May the wrath of God be upon them.

I tried to warn them
Life imitates art... and electronics? Everything depends on the plus and the minus. The positive and the negative. Including heaven and hell. Don't get it wrong either. Being positive isn't saying "let it go, it will be fine" it is saying "no, it has to be this way"! It is thought to be cruel to tell someone they are doing something wrong. But is it cruel for a cop to harass someone who is cooking burgers outside? I don't really think so, but it is WRONG. You stand in that negativity protected by a union of black wires, Blue wires. I am the positive red wire that they try to call negative. I choose to be the white, neutral wire, but they say white power is wrong, and make it a race issue. I scream, "white power"! They say no, so I go back to being the red wire. They say that is wrong, but I still choose my own power. So, are you the red or the blue? We depend on each other, even with opposing polarity. You can't be red, white and blue...it is impossible. (electronics have a red and a black wire for positive and negative. It used to be a red and a blue wire...and a white wire that is represented by an N.)

Polarization of Ignorance
Logic to the dissonant, confetti into flames watch it turn to ash. The disquieted don’t want comfort, they want to protect their definition of purity and simply, for the complexities of the universe to serve them solely. Dissatisfaction becomes identity, a vice to sate, just one more redemptive hit and they’ll sleep dreaming of their idyllic reconstruction of reality. Everyone’s a visionary blind to the piteous state of their mass-conformist unity fantasy, forgetting that autonomy isn’t only in the mind of the beholder.

Polarity
To jump and never land— to breathe in but never out— to fall asleep and never wake up... The glass stillness of a pond, its surface never disturbed— peace without its pole: Nothing.

Nothing
With an audible sigh...                  I curse the world to gain some clarity. Things weren't so black or white before...            But cycles of laughter and tears do well                                     To burn in their disparity. Like washed-out sadness,                      I'll make it hard to judge my smile. "The sun may fade these colors," I say,                   "But they'll be gone for just a while." I exhale...                                               ... And I miss you.                 Even though I’m left with just the pain                              Most nights I alone past dark,                  And curse the utterance of your name. I longed for your shine And the warmth within your Sol. But your clouds gave way to Luna...                                                        ...And I left.                                Still halfway short of whole. For now, I'll do what I can to force these                               clouds back over the moon. Because even in depravity,                                        Or lonesome solitude, I find the comfort that is darkness...                          And in the darkness I find you. Still, I hope you feel the thunder. Or that the light leads your way through. I can't make this darkness bright, but still, I think... If I can't discern what's true... I hope you laugh, at least, in irony. I hope you smile, at the storm...                     That casts its shadow just for you. I've found the lightning doesn't last, And the thunder comes too soon. So alone, in solidarity, I will fight my fate To be construed...                                           Against myself, As the answers to my questions' echo --                reverberating in an empty room.

Dangerous
The spirits of heaven and earth. I look down... You, fly! Unknown to disgust Revelling in the solidity of your warm ambition "You, fly! Know the Earth and its bounty." I look up with darkness all round Glee in the beauty of a falling star But wait! "You, fly! And your jest of chemical fire." Have taught me a lesson Of far thought beauties within grasp Scholar of sustenance and Archetypal will-o-wisp "Thank you. You, flies!" For showing me All that I can be And all there is to see

On friendship’s day I bought 2 bar Magnets Highly Polarized Like minded on opposite polarity N-S, then NS So close, so connected With “We” feeling. Egoist on like polarity N<>N, S<>S Self centered, individualist With “I/Me/Mine” feeling. They possess the same strength of Connecting or repelling force Either in one end, or Other. Just the polarity matters How we keep them.

What does your soul say through your eyes Do they show your truth or do they show your lies Are you really happy with yourself and your path Or is something in the way, is it holding you back How do you know what you feel is right Is it when you feel less of the dark and more of the light Is there a happy medium, like what Buddha taught Is everything an illusion, or is that just one thought How do we know what we really feel How do what know what is truly real Our souls create reality and there are so many different kinds How many universes are we projecting with our minds We are each a deep expression of the  universe and the divine But if that's the case why do so many of us whine Why can't we find the power that's within Why do we sell ourselves short, why do we see things as sin Karma isn't even what people think it is They mistake it for the law of attraction, what goes around comes around, but that's not it Karma comes at the end of life and it tallies our deeds It's kind of like judgment day, but it's our soul it feeds Tell me what I did, was I as good as I thought Did I learn everything I needed to, was I righteously taught I know I learned lessons and I know I hurt souls But I didn't do it on purpose, I just played many roles I taught people lessons and they taught me mine In life we have to learn quick, we don't have much time Our lives are short, but they sure feel long Is loving everyone deeply right or is it wrong The emptiness in us, it comes and it goes Sometimes we feel dull, sometimes we glow It's hard to be consistent when things always change Just adapt when we need to and transcend our ways

God and the devil are of the same But they operate on a different plane One is creation One is destruction One is livin in the now One is always rushin Rushing to destroy Rushing to deploy The troops to other nations Lowering the vibration Embodying God takes dedication We choose which wolf we feed That of love or that of greed We need to come up with a plan and quick We all need to love each other and stop being a **** We need to learn to be humans and souls Fill the void and fill the holes With spirit, with friendship, and acceptance These are the words of truth, let's make them our dance

Which Wolf Do You Feed
O my star, that shines so bright Why are you so dim tonight? Have your dreams gone bad? Is the sky too high? Have other stars fallen from the sky? Is the sea too low To scoop down below The dreams of mountains you have wanted so? O my star, I can’t refute The gloom and dark that grasps your foot Even more so, I cannot shake The pain and agony that it makes To rid of stuff that breaks your bones, - The twisted lies, the painful moans And all I can do is wait. Reflecting on my sins and testing faith. O my dear star, I am in despair For things went out of hand, and I am aware. The sorrow that you have been feeling out in space Is showering down on my cold, damp face And every tear that trickles from your eyes - It breaks my heart and a part of me dies. Surely, I am always trying to be strong But the question is, for how long?

so what do we do when all is left are figurines gifted in the unholiest of manners and the crusties in my eye when i awake are no longer their since sleep is a distant memory and all the tides of highs and lows simmer to a stagnant plateau because days no longer carry weight surmounting to popcorn on a string --one just like the last-- suddenly a day --popcorn with extra butter and just a pinch of salt-- comes and shakes the bland you into something recognizable a sparkly-eyed realist with an unusually magnetic personality drawn from absolutely nothing but the reality that life goes on and we just have to be aware of peoples polarity s.q.
