Best Dissonance Poems

Lost -
Through an Eagle's eye
Over Fields of plenty
Where rivers and creeks
Never run dry
But I can't feel it

Mountains rising up
Touching the pink, blue,
And rustic orange skies.
I just don't know why
… I just can't feel it

I am a lost page within the novel
No one knows my inner...

When oppositional cognitive dissonance 
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time 
to where she began to feel alone,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.

If you don't want a sopping wet tile bathroom floor
because I...

Amidst a dissonance of human sound,
the constant hum of voices as each swarm
of people pushed onto the streets, the pound-
pound-pounding workers made, which like a storm
rained in my ears, my mind‘s eye glimpsed a thing
that could not be of this unholy sphere:
a woman, nymph-like, on...

It's always someone, something else, 
that's made your life a living hell
abstain, explain, complain, campaign,  
work on your pitch and make it sell

Blame the weather, blame the seasons
blame your parents, blame your friend
there's no excuses, there's only reasons, 
it can't be you; you're innocent

You...

Some metallic beating of a Drum like heavy rainfall resonated through the night 
as the wind swept through the trees and across the somber ponds of The West. 
    Some nights: these nights—fireflies are the sparkling blue-green dots scattered across an aloof...

No one of us
and all of us together
believe in optimal power within
in total absence of any power among,
without.
 
Short-sighted political therapy evolves
short-minded economic health is
small-mindedness,
pretending Self and Other and Earth
are not eternally interdependent.
 
Pain and loss and blindness
cause long-sited suffering,
wrestling with God's absence of fulfillment

Great...

Lost in amorous creations

Mind, the architect of life’s structure,
obeys what is learnt as the art of living.
Heart, the carrier of nonlinear abstract intellect,
breathes emotive truth in the framework of being.

If the diktat of mind is not pursued,
life is sucked into the whirlpool of chaos,
and not listening to the...

Conflicting opinions,
Weakened beliefs.
Arrogant behavior,
Denying reality.

Who you are is who you'll 
become.
Let it happen.
Fight for your wisdom.
I know one thing that isn't true.
Reconsider my beliefs.
Consider a new point of view.
Let one go.
You'll be much happier.
What you'll know,
Will bring you peace of mind.

A belief system based on...

restless heart in need of flight
the time is drawing near
future bliss within his sight
in the present lives his fear

what he has and what he needs
inhabit different pages
conscience shamed by guilty deeds
such sin has costly wages...

As a kid they said technology
would lead us to a better life,
and in many ways they are correct,
tech does many things right.
I suppose I was just naïve
to thing there would be no downside,
now I love/hate the internet,
there are a thousand reasons why…

I love that endless...

Don't want to be stuck
in the Trauma Prevention Department.

Don't want to work that hard
on dogmatic compartments
for politically correct CAPITAL INVESTMENT
governments
over-investing in cautionary
conditional
chronic win/lose mistrustful
competitive dissonant miscommunications
and excommunication
which is counterproductive
for best Systemic Therapy practice

Of mindful-civil cooperative warm regard
AND co-investments in

MUSIC IN THE LISTENING LAB
 
Notes!  Notes of music
Bouncing 	
Off of walls – off of chairs
Off of ceilings and off the floors
Running down the hall in half steps
	Flooding every inch of space
	In atonal tangos - rhythms searching for their time.

Notes!  Notes of music
Bumping

I can experience integrity of time
and dissonance of not enough
and too much
but cannot find
define
refine a line
in-between
anxiety and anticipation

Win ego-healthy center
to win-ecosystemic wealth sufficiency
divesting of a punishing win/lose shadow
anthro-supremacist leftbrain dominant world 
view

Feeling committed to change
strategies restoring peace 
on
and in,
above
and beyond awesome
and wondrous sacred 
divinely secularized...

Taken inside the bowels
of bassoons, 
tropical heat from
swelling bows.
		Sweat labors the brow,
		full with carnal dissonance.
The throat is lunged
by a beast
veiled in foliage.
		Spewed in a mass of
		broken pickaxes!
Kicked again into the
thunder of claws!
		In flames of foundries
		lost.
Becoming Roman Candles
opening across the night.
		But drinking cool women
		in the thaw...
