I see you started a new forum that I find enticing and too tantalizing to ignore so here I am Bay seeking safe harbor at your new port O call.

To demonstrate how I understand this idea to manifest itself in behavior I will share two of my poems.


The first is called "Word Play"

A cunning linguist loves to play
With phrasing twisted meanings laid
On varying flavored flavors for the common way
Brewing enchantment’s startling ascendancy
Through turning language into lyric poetry
Tasting ecstasy part carnal with sublime portion
Incantations for intricate and delicate potion
Made of flower petals and rose shaped hearts
By motion found in secret places as physical as not
Emotion shows love’s composed of words as much as art
Human sexuality is mental and not just any body part

By word of mouth practices and cerebral dances
Verbal made smile’s the mind’s oral enhancers
Where thoughts’ expressed yet much more passes
Amid seduction’s mating rituals’ practiced prances
Keeping a sapient species alive long furthermore strong
By making children adults and sometimes for just song
This knotty logic’s found in every soul who’s willing
Being able, bound by such desire, growing tender and adoring
Full beyond expectation not just pregnant with a pause

Additionally such languid and luxurious praise is paid
Once our otherwise simple craft of barded congregation
Where in guarded moments of exquisite sharing
Idea and act make for a perfect pairing
Focusing attention on a single centered moment
Upon the deviation between what fires light the stars
With creation’s passions building burning desires
Igniting much more than just physical allure
Drawing moths into flaming deep temptation
Yet differing in reflection on what fires melt
Of both heaven and our hell into a mental meld
Poets define the logic of seduction not a rapist bent
Playing the serpent’s lyres for knowledge’s lent
Caring, spending time surviving amid amusement
Contrasting forced violation upon the bed
Which makes the bond of lurid get
Different from the magic of holy wed,
Is it the sanction of another one’s mindset
Or mutual respect most intimately felt?

To be more than fair this verse goes on
For attention needed must be paid upon
Poured and lathered and made to go on and on
What measure can make of such intent
T’is willingness and determination’s penchant
Gently touching, writhing, tintinnabulations vortex
Tonguing rhymes with ringing harmony of portent
For newly discovered never ending moments
Eternally existing infinite and instantly
Bringing all one’s desires into focus

    BTW, the second is called "Loving Song" and I will bring that to you as soon as I am finished with it but I called it "Loving Language" before renaming it a song.

    I hate typos and I always find the worst ones too late.

    The line above that reads:
    "On varying flavored flavors for the common way"

    should read:
    On varying FAVORED flavors for the common way

      So I wrote two instead of only one. Here are both:
      Loving Language

      Start looking for love
      You’ll never know why
      Revealed bladed grass
      Bright children’s eyes
      Filling our daily changing skies
      With uneven tears of surviving lives
      Once intense love
      Instead found
      Broken hearts
      Not purchased
      Sold or passed around
      Loves’ freely precious
      Wealth beyond measure
      Returns not demanded
      Honored with esteem

      Loving Language
      Unbecoming hate
      Meaning ideas’ reflects
      Beauty beyond reason
      Love measured thought
      Word with deed
      Indeed alive feeling
      Creation’s creed
      Loving words
      Worth shared

      Instead wind whispers
      Drawing uplifted eyes
      Full feeling
      Moonlit night sky
      Ephemeral touching bite
      Imagined hearts pounding inside
      Tears
      Like gentle rain
      Storms end here
      • Loving Song

        Annotate
        Denotes
        A crescendo mounted
        Thundering pause
        Dramatic space
        Numbered lines making
        One alone too
        Another
        Three Chord agreement
        Seek infinite
        Being
        Forevermore
        Born
        Sand grains and cells
        Cold heated fusion
        Long lines of land
        Living manmade shells
        Sea salt swells
        Over windswept earth
        Broken hearted berths
        Embodied lives linked
        Seconds
        Fecund laddered device

        Won is a word
        Deduce two
        Three makes it whole
        Four feeling harmonic rumble
        Weird logic adagio
        Rendering now allegro
        Random nice action
        Chance built meter
        Loving healing helix
        Doubling halves
        By sexual coupling
        Blame it
        For all trouble
        Name it
        Victim
        Or Victorious
        Most certain 'a'
        Protean proteomic problem
        Remarkable New Attitudes

        Daring Next Age
        Gentle trickster within
        Plot thickened endings
        Twists turning dance
        Into primal possibility
        Once chaos
        Twice ordered
        Within
        Without challenge
        Senescence sets in
        Without love
        Hate
        Balance resists
        Reason With love
        Faith
        Finding grace
        Purpose
        Orchestrated meaning

        Coded coda
        Rhythm right wrong
        Live life fulfilling
        Weighs
        Uplifting light
        Chant our hearts out
        Feeling belongs
        Holding
        Notes
        Wet fires
        Perspire
        Flesh
        Organs
        Hearing
        Touch
        Singing
        Platonic Forms
        Defined Nearly Awake
        Derivative
        Nascent
        Acquired
        Desire Now Alive
