MAGIC

   
Each day my illness' brings me pain,    
On ev'ry nerve it seems to rain.    
The coping of my riddled brain    
Has learned to help me not complain.    
   
I don't say 'woe is me' to self.    
I turn my nose up at the wealth    
That others want more than their health,    
To leave their kindness on a shelf.    
   
But me, I'm writing poetry,    
Embracing thrills' discovery.    
I dream to be a fantasy    
From out of shell, yes!, to be free.    
   
I think myself as light as air,    
A gentle sprite that's hardly there    
With sprigs of honeycomb to wear,    
And flower blossoms in my hair.    
   
From forest top is where I see    
Winged things above the canopy,    
To join in flight I wish to be    
And laugh among the birds & trees.    
   
For this is where the mischief sway    
Is spread with mirth in which I play,    
A riot's life of ev'ry day    
My barefoot jig among the fray.    
   
The forest creatures dance and race    
With wonderment upon each face.    
'Tis I that has them feel the grace    
My magic touching every trace.    
   
This is my happiness profound    
As ev'ry chorus' cheerful sound,    
All rising up and would surround    
My hidden place, my kingdom found.    
   
I only hope that someday soon,    
Across the face of earth a boon    
Will see for all to be in tune,    
To love
not hate from magic's swoon.

Shamanic Substance

   
Some sages    
burn their fragrant,    
savory namesake    
to leaven air    
in wafts of    
heaven    
Steeping wraiths    
into stupors    
& binding their bodiless    
brawn    
   
So down,    
down  
those gurus    
droop to sleep...    
Strewing used leaves    
along premeditated treadings;    
sacraments in footpaths    
supposing they've shirked    
any phantasmic followings    
   
~    
   
Ovoos    
stately slant    
in ascendant stances    
with tips like lances    
prodding Mongol yonder blues    
a heron hue    
imbues sanctioned invocations;    
Thrice to rotate    
'round the stony foundation    
custom gyrations - coded oblations    
   
Milk & honey    
blessed & left for Tengri    
A dusted alter    
entrusted & encrusted    
with silken donations    
   
~    
   
Wicks shiver in heat    
lean necks sheathed    
in cylinders    
strung in wax;    
Candles of plum    
actively passing away    
   
Purple light paves    
lanes    
to tame astral planes    
Flame in the room    
juts westward    
snapping Haitian songs    
astray    
   
Tinging marimbulas    
sing    
dinging past the doorway    
ringed in revenans    
overhanging    
drapery in reveries    
with fangs    
   
Rising faint    
& up the rope    
to seance in Antilles    
airways    
Conveyance with    
cadaver saints    
   
~    
   
Were I born    
through alter-womb    
bred & fed    
on the strings    
of another breeze;    
Strange pneumas    
indeed,    
winds like these...    
   
could've cradled me

Hidden Magic

When those first drops of rain hit the windowpane,
Making me forget about trudging through the desert
Alone. The lushness is something magical like a chain

That has been broken. Eyes that forget to look alert
And when I close them I can just feel that extra spark
I have not felt in a long time. The pain and feeling hurt

Slowly fades into nothingness, turning away from dark
Shadows. Why should I question something that is real?
It is like hearing the soft song of every dove and lark

After hearing nothing but silence. It is like when I kneel
Down and after searching for those answers they come
To me like the dawn after a murky stormy night. My zeal

And every belief comes rushing back, alive. Feeling numb
And sick to my stomach fades away like casting a spell.
The extra jolt of energy is there like a steady-paced thrum.

in just no time

   
   
   
   
   
   
1.      In.      the fillers    
   
   
in turgid luxuriance, the    
obligated gellifying envelopes    
clung around in 'so-benefiting' bonds    
of glorified appetites in buffaloed    
numbness    
   
a clamour.  crocinous    
choking sweatpits Jerk along    
a thinly clouding dazing haze    
in intense sandalwood    
incense stems    
from rosewood beds in a cracking    
landslide's uncensored scripts  
of alternating currents-amplifying    
and dying and so…  
   
robot remembers hardly    
any emotive depths in no embeds.    
   
indulgence  
   
   
   
   
2.      no.     the elusive  
   
chaos.  an unbearable lump    
of front loaded sterning mass    
smashes and moulds dough    
in your imagined dimensions  
Ironic enough, flies into singing    
lightness territories    
from self-driven accelerations  
   
   
   
a half-bitten moon    
in self-cannibalistic wilderness    
frothing afresh in your    
salivating resonance    
and in such potentially risky    
latent hungers....
 
   
   
   
   
   
3.      just .             be just    
   
   
better. arrive not yet.    
the dumb ignorance of your arrogance    
casts no shades  no shadows. it's in the showering    
absolute lights of desperation.  the dire distance    
   
the quintessential meaninglessness    
   
   
the tending [black] magical spell    
stands broken by  nothingness    
   
   
the gravitating elusivities .              mystical

jungian slip...__

She wiped the tears from her eyes
Her solace gripped deep within
A dark rose bloomed on the doorstep
Cresent moon stone struck in the dark
The motion of a bird across the window
With notion of winding a clock maker's turn
The bottomless heart pumps a well reserve
She brings in the milk from the sacred cow
As I stumble out the window onto a comet...
 
 
---------------------------------------------------------}
It's flight rings around the stars....
We start to hear the talks of spirits high and fears down low
Dig the sand of ancient stories and hero's nouveau'
Float through the scent of incense in the temple ritual
Spying them trade divine dowry for a bowl of cereal
Winding globes around mental systems
Patients medicate the soul condition.....
 
But the water pours from the broken pitcher
The handmaid knees the calloused stitcher
We walk from the bottom to deliver the top
Knowing the roll from the peak the turn won't stop
Our child of love can build a mountain
With love of childhood pours youthful fountain
We cease to exist to serve the beast
Our spiritual supper a supernal feast
With a cross of polarity sparks short in the mind
Their holistic union gives fruit in the rind....

O.B.E.

I will go out of my body with lucidity  
My consciousness is loosed  
My reality is confused  
Alternation of each world and possibility  
   
I will meet the Moon and other astral entities  
Testimonies of celestial phenomenon  
My physical machine to the automaton  
I will disconnect from ego identities  
   
And a random ghost is hosting my projection  
as I observe myself in bed  
innate fears are immersed  
I summon my inner guides for protection  
   
The sensation of this plane is indescribable  
An ascent on the scale of vibration  
close to souls with a Source interconnection  
I'm synchronous with the space as outer variable  
   
Each inhale brings weird mental imagery  
Slow paralysis of my scepters  
brings awareness to my receptors  
I now see all my selves in perfect symetry

Lost in the Wonderful Charm

This feels like magic,
Like an elaborate illusion without the confusion or smoke and mirrors,
When I’m nearer to this unmistakable bliss that is her love,
Or maybe I’m just lucky that way.

It seems supernatural,
The chances of someone like me could end up with someone like her,
We were friends forever, longing and yearning for more,
I guess the fates were in my favor.

It all appears mystical,
How our paths crossed then got lost in the storms of life’s destinations,
When the emotion ran deeper than anything I ever knew,
I can’t fathom life without her.

It’s been quite surreal,
It feels like a daydream I fell into from which I never want to wake up from,
Lost in the wonderful charm of passionate sensations,
Because it really is magic.

the veil

to stand upon the earths flat edge
and step upon the comets tail
believe in success if you fail
 
the chrysalis of wannabe
the stars astrology for free
to break the veil of mystery  
 
 
disbelieve predictability
life forces hidden alchemy
instincts follows Merlins shoes
 
now the age the grail to seek
the quest not to be left behind
the new age magik now to find
  
facilitate on your new page
the potion in the facebook look
profile photo took  
 
to sail in life and not to fail
the canyons come of dark despair
the spell must come within ourselves
