--fountainhead valve--/

The breeze blows a slow dance  
It walks across the sky  
The mist floats a soul path  
Link of water to higher math...  
   
A fire of circles ring the moon  
Was time or space torn into?  
Did the heavens fall?  
Or our hearts ascend renewed...    
   
We crossed the altars beast  
And left the soul at peace  
The towers stand on either side  
A pole for each and each a sum...  
   
Melodic focus the mind's eye  
See a light burn a hole in the sun  
Weaving insight nothing being spun  
A union of both to make the one...  
   
Dual role to play, our life engage  
Birth of three, the parents relay  
Divine the child, holy matrix made  
A composite temple in us is laid...  
   
Platonic shaped internal halls  
A system of geometry draws  
We watch the bird commit to fly  
But we never see it fall....

Founding Fathers

I have flashbacks of you, from when I was so young
i thought you left me, to explore this vast galaxy, for mankind
You taught us how to survive on this big banged up, revolving planet
Leaving your footprint for us to use and making us all very bemused

Is that you our founding fathers, in the bright night sky?
Are you coming home, just to check on us or for a final goodbye?
Show us your calling card, but don't let us all lose our mind
Tell us where you went and why you left us all behind

You made structures out of large stones and pointed bricks
Black and white men from all over, have drawn images on their wall
We study lost language that we can't truly understand, at all
Heavy hauling and perfect angles, were they done using a bag of tricks?

Is that you our founding fathers, in the bright night sky?
Are you coming home, just to check on us or for a final goodbye?
Show us your calling card, but don't let us all lose our mind
Tell us where you went and why you left us all behind

Moe's lambs and Chris's hens always fighting over their goods
While those wandering dews, slip through to form geometric cracks
The worlds weak, struggle for food and carry their beds on scorched backs
as the Earls and Dukes, live behind security gates, in phoney neighbourhoods

Is that you our founding fathers, in the bright night sky?
Are you coming home, just to check on us or for a final goodbye?
Show us your calling card, but don't let us all lose our mind
Tell us where you went and why you left us all behind

Dear god

You could have chosen
Any part  
within us  
yet you chose
to introduce  
pain fear and despair  
You chose to bring  
conflict and violence  
you chose  
political corruption  
and arrogance  
to use as your voice  
as in the dark ages of old  
You chose  
the mechanisms  
of destruction  
for the minds of our Young  
yet  
You still refuse  
to grasp the concept    
We are one  
 
The balance  
shall return  
and you
Will Learn  
that no matter what you do  
poison the land  
the air  
the water that we drink  
We  
are going home  
Back  
to our garden  
before  
we became  
what you crave  
Obedient
Psychological
Slaves

I AM THANKFUL YOU SAVED ME

From the deepness of my soul to the love that I feel deep within my heart oh how thankful I am to have you within my life for there has been times during my struggles, I didn't even know if I was going to make it through the storm that seems to be coming from ever direction all at once for there were times when I couldn't see the flowers nor trees due to the thunder and lightening that seems to cover my world within the depth of the darkness. But yet I still face my fears not really knowing if I will make it out alive through my trails and tribulations of the twist and turns with deep curves, for there were times when I placed my own life in harms way due to the fact I was ready to give up without a fight. But I am thankful that you saved me from the storms for through you I gained will to keep pushing forward with the courage to continue to move on to live to see another day upon this earth.

PASSAGE OF LIFE

From my heart I open the depth of my mind but from my soul I release my inner spirit as I open the doors to the stairway to the silents of my darkness of who and what I am as a man, but yet from my visions that became images taken from the pages of my lifetime they became my trails and tribulations the real lessons we sometimes have to learn from life but yet from my eyes was the hurt and pain which some came from love and some came from lessons learned from the devils in human skin. But as the feelings became lesser to feel the unseen tears that once fell down my face slowly healed with the passing of time but as I journey travel and walk through the passage of life with its storms that comes with life I not ask question the most highest spiritual soul, as I know he will always be there walking beside me as I walk through the storms with my faith and my trust for he will give me the courage and the strength to stand and walk as a man of skin flesh and blood as a man who has become unchanged because through him I gain my faith and trust.

Hell On Earth

To thy that cast the first stone  
Place of paradise, where redemption of fallen grace shall roam    
Hell, on earth as you could, feel, see    
No other place that accommodates such sinful needs    
    
The seven deadly sins, oh yes, they’re real    
As an Angel, my skin tattered as lashes I feel    
Satan is within the mind, flames igniting the destructive ruins of thy, soul, heart    
Right and Wrong, God’s true purpose given from the beginning of time in its natural state of art    
     
Angels, yes, we see, bow under grace, for the sins of you and thee    
Roaming unaware from sunrise to sunset spreading God’s Heavenly creed    
Yet, Revelations gives you the seven seals, seven churches, and the pale horse    
Death and destruction, cast of the wicked, not from the life you lead, but the doctrine of the heart’s choice    
     
Now when you say Chant For The Horned Beast    
The cries from ancestral cotton fields, linage denigration, mass killings, its glorious fame of feast    
The Heavens, where God’s laws preaches, Pearly Gates, the fiery eyes will never come to see    
   
Heaven and Hell are found within the heart, a man, standing in a pulpit preaching the way to salvation    
One hundred and forty-four souls’ entrance, the others reincarnated to an ungodly world of mind wandering and trepidation      
God seeks thy heart without a spot or a winkle    
Your fate leaves the mind in waiting, which no one knows, it’s just that simple

Sacred Contracts XXX: God

Ahavati

Sacred Contracts XXX: God

The shifting shapes of forest  
were kaleidoscopic beneath the sun—      
the marching of water grew distant      
   
The Spirit of the Wood honored      
our presence, accepting obeisance      
at the base of its venerable root        
   
What I had always known manifested      
in the exchange, and the branches moved—      
revealed a realm known only to Native      
   
Foregone history remembers itself      
when boiled clean of present–rises      
through its epidermis, lights the surface      
   
Everything I ever thought I knew      
was released before God’s presence      
but, not the god who demands sacrifice      
   
That god of men’s heads (I should pause      
here and say, “Yes; both”); that god of ego—      
of insatiable alteration of Truth      
   
Not that god, no; but, God—      
yes; God      
   
II.      
   
Have you ever imagined what earth      
would look like drained – if some      
celestial hose pipe was released—      
 
washed away the green and sediment      
dissolving beds of rock, pushing oceans      
and lakes to the bottom of the Universe      
   
What would remain would be interlocking      
webs of root holding space for all that was      
to conceive everything that will be again      
   
That is God – interconnecting roots      
of Life bringing forth breath and fruit—      
   
it’s gravity pulling everything together      
keeping it solidly affixed, grounded      
so it isn’t torn apart like paper      
   
III.      
   
There are Dryads in every forest      
you tread; they whisper your name      
in their natural language of tree      
   
To understand, is to believe magic      
isn’t a black bag of secrets to learn;      
but, an olden way of Life to carry on      
   
A realization of what happens NOW      
could never diminish what was THEN—      
on the contrary, it fulfills Prophecy;      
   
it solidifies All that is to come from All      
that was when all is said and done      
and we realize we, too, are Gods—      
   
clauses in the other’s Sacred Contract      
fulfilling all that is divinely sacrosanct      
in this fragile, yet holy human experience

Fish and Chips

I know we haven’t had the best of relationships,
We don’t talk as much like we use to over fish and chips,
But I see you in a different way,
Not as a man  
But as something bigger than what the human brain can comprehend,
You’re like…
The universe…
And all the good that life represents,
Yet we’re free to choose in what to believe.
 
I’m not mad or angry at anything,
I’m just sad at how everything has turned out to be,
How the ugly the world can get,
It’s like they forget  
About kindness and sympathy.
Many choose to turn their backs on their beliefs,
And then wonder why the world is getting so shitty.
 
I know I’m not the best at much of anything,
I try to be a good person starting from within,
I try to show compassion and put out good vibes,
And besides,
I’m a little leery of the way religion has used your name,
It’s become a circus in a political game,
Because it feels like many have lost sight.
 
But the only thing I ask of you…
Is to give me the patience and wisdom in what I do,
Because that’s what your son asked of us,
To show one another love.
Dear God.

Well ?

I am sitting here
with a gun in my mouth.
I won't be the one
who jumps in the pool first
with you standing at the side laughing,
me floating
as my soul boils.
 
So we'll sit hear at the kitchen table,
unable to speak
until it's time.
Well go ahead God,
give me a reason
to stay.

When the moment comes,
will I pray?
I know you'll say no,
but if I truly knew that today was the day,
in a quiet moment would I pray?
what would we say?

Omnipotent Journey

Is it age that has me turn aside,  
to think twice because the  
turmoil in my life is nothing new.  

This time around it’s  
different news or seems to be,  
though bitter onslaught’ chill  
and words are all the same.  
 
Before I’m overwhelmed  
this time, I know what I must do,  
and I won’t be alone.  
 
From those who try to hold me back  
with lists they need for me to fill.  
 
From shouts that try to blame their  
wants and woes so hard it seems  
the earth will free-fall from its spin  
— I soon walk out the door.  
 
There’s nothing to prepare my rout.  
I’ve all I need for this.  
With coat and gloves and shoes  
and hat, I’m down the stairs.  
 
Already I’ve a smile that isn’t seen  
but felt within my lightened heart  
as deeper in the woods I go,  
 
where neither voices’ drone  
nor storm can reach.  
It’s all I want to know.  
 
Each rapid step I take for minutes  
passing till I’ve lost the count,  
and now don’t even bother.  
 
It must be like the crane that  
takes to wing and lets its instinct  
be compass and navigator,  
 
leaving me as only motion.  
What is my instinct?  
 
I stop to look up through the trees  
With tiny rippling stars in sight.  
The world’s at rest.  
 
The cold and crisp of winter’s air  
surrounds me and the sentinels.  
 
I’ve long forgotten where I laid  
the broadsword I never used.  
 
I didn’t need it then  
nor do I need it now.  
 
Though deep in darkest night,  
the words that I am hearing  
come to me more clearly  
are of myself.  
 
I feel I’m reacquainting  
with a friend.  
 
I’ll stay here for a while to think,  
while curious brave the cold,  
peering from foliage and drifts.  
 
I hardly know how  
or why I’ll be all right.  
 
As winter makes amends,  
I promise Him I’m doing this  
for only me, I won’t forget again.

I could suffice for Him, I knew

I could suffice for Him, I knew
When I was but a child.
To think of Him as Father, too,
Though was He meek and mild?

The way I know is opposite
From what is meant to be.
His voice intent, mine hesitant,
This force ‘tween God and me.

Yet to suffice and not forsake,
Despite complete withdraw.
But is it more than I can make;
What comes before the Fall?

In chess of Thunder’s own device
I leave the game bereft.
In knowing Him, I could suffice
With no more pieces left.
