Subversive language, however, must be constantly reinvented, because it is continually being co-opted by the powerful.

Uniquabilities
There is something about you...
That belongs just to you.
It can not be claimed!
It has your name on it.
Your voice...
Your walk.
Your manner of speech.
The way you laugh and talk.
Your smile and the absence of it...
Leaves a mental imprint,
That does not diminish one bit.
And the way that you do...
What it is you do!
It is all you.
No denying it!
It's true.
Even with my eyes closed,
I can tell you are near...
Without a word heard from you.
We all have 'uniquabilities'...
We often are not aware we share.
Similar and yet different.
But...
Wherever you are,
Somehow...
That has been known to me!
Note:
The English language is constantly being reinvented.
And I take liberties with my participation in doing just that...
finding ways to introduce new interpretations. If AIN'T
can find its way into today's dictionary? 'Uniquabilities'
will find its way there as well.
Now...
What exactly does 'uniquabilities' mean?
It is a commonness we accept that is unique.
It is an understood 'difference' shared.
'They all share a difference between them,
that makes their 'uniquabilities' more appreciated together.'
~uni-qua-bilities~

Transformative, Illusive & Subversive Clouds
Clouds are transformative, illusive &subversive
In a school of poetry
Our poetry used to play truant
Our poetry used to play movies and peep theatres
Surely illusive, transformative &subversive a school of poetry
Clouds transformative, illusive &subversive
really used to exist
It's certain clouds are illusive, subversive and transformative
sometime metamorphosed into every possibilities
but no probabilities.
I am not a member of any organization listed by the Attorney General as subversive. In any instance where I lent my name in the past, it was certainly without knowledge that such an organization was subversive. I have always been essentially and foremost an American.

Continually our love surprises me
Continually our love does me surprise,
as sometimes you bring me pain
and sometimes you hold on to me
while sometimes it feels as if I am reaching into a whirlpool
but sometimes you take away everything bad.
Continually our love does me surprise,
and sometimes tears run over your cheeks
but sometimes it's as if the sun shines through your eyes
and sometimes you hold on to me
while our love is much stronger than just a maybe,
and I am smitten by the look on your face.
Continually our love does me surprise,
as if new depths continually comes to it,
you become part of my awareness
and sometimes you hold on to me
and it's as if we perfectly fit into each other's lives
while continually you are part of me, of my existence;
continually our love does me surprise,
and sometimes you hold on to me.

Blue Sky Memories (In Answer To O Ingrid Jonker, For Daleen)
Blue sky memories continually comes to me
of a day under a bright summer sun
as if a part of you stays lingering,
when I love you even more (if I could)
while continually you are snared in my remembering.
Even when times of bad weather want to come
there is an unbreakable bond between us,
while continually I am astounded by our love.
Blue sky memories continually lingers in my thoughts
when I forget all of my previous heartaches,
when continually I am lost in you
and I always know about the depth of our love.
The sparkling sun continuously brings new hope,
when we walk days, months and years together on a road.

A Subversive Poem
a subversive poem is nutritious
a bowl of magic soup
to throw in the face
of complacency
and indolence;
but watch out
and its magic can go any way
like if writing a subversive poem
one is
in due course of time
made to eat one’s own words;
still
potion for oneself
or medicine for others
it's as necessary as the doctor

A bride received into the home is like a horse that you have just bought; you break her in by constantly mounting her and continually beating her.
A. Pope
YOU got your past world
a language of your own
to copy of which i have not
the slightest intention
They all call you a great man
that is something
i must be dumb that
i cannot understand
I have a language of my own
a voice that constantly
sings my own song
at night i keep it toned down
in my heart
there is no frown.

I Love You Past Reason and Meaning
I love you past reason and meaning
and constantly you climb deeper into my heart

Body language is a very powerful tool. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently, 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.

Undermind
Undecided, undefined
Undisturbed yet undermined
Relocated not retired
Reprimanded and rewind
Mystified and misshapen
Misinformed but not mistaken
Reinvented, redefined
Rearranged but not refined
Unrelenting, understroked
Undeterred yet unprovoked
Reinvented, redefined
Rearranged but not refined
Mystified and misshapen
Misinformed but not mistaken
Undecided, undefined.

For Far Too Long I Have Searched For You
For far too long I have searched for you
and when I saw you the first time
there was the sudden recognition
as if I had found a part of myself in you,
as if for ages you have been my companion
and still I know that you are lovely,
that your presence, your voice,
continually draws people nearer
and it's as if I constantly keep remembering you,
as if you are perfect and I know that I am right with this.

As basic rules of a language must be practiced continually, and therefore are never fixed, so exercises toward distinct color effects never are done or over. New and different cases will be discovered time and again.

Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.
I Recognize Your Voice
I recognize your voice, your cheerful laughter,
when I enter a room full of people
and even your soft steps each day
catches me with a tingle time after time,
through your beauty that flowers continually.
I recognize your voice, your cheerful laughter,
sometimes it feels as if you are waiting on me
but constantly you do astound me
and even your soft steps each day
has a kind of skipping to them
and with being in love I am stupid.
I recognize your voice, your cheerful laughter,
sometimes hear it echoing at night
although your face is disguised by the darkness
and even your soft steps each day,
but our love is not a game of force
and still continually you turn my life upside down.
I recognize your voice, your cheerful laughter
and even your soft steps each day

Criminal Activity (Droighneach)
At a time a man constantly contributed
when crime was a kind of supreme solution,
as money was resolved to redistributed
funnily their was not any kind of inclusion
in the plans as he was really reassigned,
while scans of prints made a hot headline,
powers were to be redesigned, recombined
while showers did them continually confine.
