Poet Introduction
Every day I have the same argument in my head. The little devil sitting on my shoulder does this wild end zone dance when he wins, the angel on the other shoulder just gives a little prayer, so sometimes I go with the devil just to see the dance.

Excerpts from a talk on the Tajitu (a little long)
a blind man finds the feminine inside
While I'm in complete agreement with you, I find the term 'feminine' to be incredibly limiting, over used and mis-used when talking about the balance of the Tajitu. I personally would never use the term 'feminine' to describe the immense scope of spirituality, though I would also never perceive it's use in a negative way if someone else used it. It's all about balance but the words I associate with balance might be a little different than yours. Most humbly yours
Feminine… the receptive acceptance of primordial being
Yes,...

In the Name of Science
On a dark and lonely highway
traveling to forget
bright lights and a shimmering haze
I'm floating free
thinking I'm on an acid trip
anal probes and electrodes
holy shit! I've been abducted by aliens
oh dear god, now they're taking my sperm
with long slow strokes of my dick
squinting past the blinding glare
I notice two things right away
one, these aliens don't have any cloths on
and two, they all have cunts
imagine that
I can...

Siddhartha on a Street Corner
A blind man sits begging for change
living inside his head
he has nowhere else to go
once he knew fame and money
and played women like violins
but he gave it all away
long before losing his eyes
.
A blind man sits all alone
a symphony playing in his head
the world around him cannot hear a sound
they are too busy to listen anyway
he especially likes the cello
his body vibrating with sound
looking deep inside
a new state of being is found
.

A Universe of Noise
The universe can be heard
the lull before the storm
the spaces between the trees
even in summer showers
as we listen for each drop of rain
Silence is everywhere
existing before the universe was made
and will be with us as we take our last breaths
We spend our whole lives trying to hide
filling our lives with unending noise
believing the silence is driving us mad
We listen to music [loud]
or a movie...

Thinking of the Tajitu
thinking of sin and lust
and the impermanent rage of desire
how we live for those moments
of intense forgetfulness
but it's all a lie
as we feed on that dark energy
thinking of love and light
and the joy of being we're unable to hold
how we live for those moments
of communion with god and nature
but it's all a lie
as we feed on that spiritual energy
thinking of light and dark
joined forever to our hearts
how they fight within our minds
forever pulling us apart
as we die a little bit...

Tasting Madness
screaming in sanity
laughing in madness
fears echoing in my head
pretending I'm real
but that's not how it feels
dissipating in solution
the science of confusion
three parts per million
life devolving in dissolution
and all that's left is reptilian
mindlessly basking in the sun
tongue darting out
tasting the madness
hoping it's safe to hunt
laughing in madness
fears echoing in my head
pretending I'm real
but that's not how it feels
dissipating in solution
the science of confusion
three parts per million
life devolving in dissolution
and all that's left is reptilian
mindlessly basking in the sun
tongue darting out
tasting the madness
hoping it's safe to hunt

Gasp
The gasp of my existence
desperately seeking the edges
fearful of what I find
to see in the dark
I go blind in the light
still I want everything
and will never stop trying
to make sense of my madness
until my last gasp
desperately seeking the edges
fearful of what I find
to see in the dark
I go blind in the light
still I want everything
and will never stop trying
to make sense of my madness
until my last gasp

Predator and Prey
sharp ice crystals cutting
paws bleeding
dyeing white with red
panting breath freezing
following a scent left behind
chasing elusive prey
cornered with no way out
calm eyes welcoming death
yet speaking softly
you say "I love you"
and I fall
enthralled
collapsing to knees
howling my agony
from cupid's mortal wound
as predator
becomes the prey
paws bleeding
dyeing white with red
panting breath freezing
following a scent left behind
chasing elusive prey
cornered with no way out
calm eyes welcoming death
yet speaking softly
you say "I love you"
and I fall
enthralled
collapsing to knees
howling my agony
from cupid's mortal wound
as predator
becomes the prey

Last Supper
I have died a thousand deaths
taken my last breaths
slowly over time
a poisoning of the mind
you would think this was a crime
but I smiled as I died
as love has ever been my guide
bite by awful bite
this my unpalatable plight
for your cooking is such a fright
as you serve supper with love in your eyes
taken my last breaths
slowly over time
a poisoning of the mind
you would think this was a crime
but I smiled as I died
as love has ever been my guide
bite by awful bite
this my unpalatable plight
for your cooking is such a fright
as you serve supper with love in your eyes

Do You Know?
Do you know what beauty is?
Every answer's different
all desires unique
for some superficial perfection
other demanding what is real
or think sex and beauty synonymous
trapped inside their lust
but we are all so wrong
so utterly wrong I feel ashamed
because once beauty is seen
we are haunted forever
and doomed
there is no going back
reaching for a whispered breath of memory
from our hot panting past

The Graveyard of Hope
how many times
has hope died in sacrificial death
tied to the alter of our dreams
the heart cut out to appease
the weakening of our knees
how we plead and pray
wishing we had assayed
this challenge of the spirit
to never manifest or inherit
the promises made long ago
never turning hopes into goals
the graveyard overflows
the weeds overgrown
hiding the tombstones of our lives
has hope died in sacrificial death
tied to the alter of our dreams
the heart cut out to appease
the weakening of our knees
how we plead and pray
wishing we had assayed
this challenge of the spirit
to never manifest or inherit
the promises made long ago
never turning hopes into goals
the graveyard overflows
the weeds overgrown
hiding the tombstones of our lives

Positive affirmations
wannabe monks in formation
staved by the light
feeding on rainbows trite
thinking our darkness evil
or something primeval
news flash
You can't get to heaven with half a soul
taijitu, make the two halves whole
find stillness in your movements
seeking simple attunement
look into the dark
and find the fire's spark
to light your path
for humanity's cosmic dance
