POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Nothing is very much real anymore, I feel.. lost as an ancient art, high as a rainbow arc, free as a falling dark star..
Float on pt2
Take stock of the thoughts
you carry around and get so
caught up in,
you let them keep you down
but see the choice resides in you
to float along with them or
drown beneath the limitless layers
of feeling and thinking..
Sinking so suddenly
to then become so utterly lost in the
initial uncertainty,
but through the hurt
you're given the chance to learn
and discern the difference between
wandering and drifting along to the souls song..
These fluctuations never fade and
from them I can never flee
or...

"everythang is hazy"
I keep staring
the screen keeps glaring..
"Everything is hazyyy"
eyes glazed over..
dead in a daze..
how many days shall
I wade through wistfully,
staying blissfully distracted..
What can I say I'm a little depraved
enslaved to my habits,
caged in madness
knowing I hold the key to release myself, to cease from creating hate and fear
which I still find flowing in here..
Knowing Nirvana is near
and held within
I keep
bringing on the hellish atmospheres,
clinging to helpess and disastrous...

Music pt2
The music motivates
it's power elevates my being
lifts me from my fleeting frustrations
and pitiful mental states
I let break and bring me down.
It heals
this much I know,
it shapes and colors the soul..
I'm grateful for the grooves
I've been granted the chance to experience time and time again.
I find I need it day in day out
to soothe and remove my doubt
lingering round clouding the cranium..
A new dimension discovered
when those sounds shine through
leaving me anew and I can drop the
doomed,...

The urge
The urge to return to the pages
to purge what's within
surges on..
I feel drawn back if I'm gone too long
away from creating something
which I feel strongly about..
that's when I drown in doubt
and the demons come out
to surround and shout..
The focus and the fire fades away
at times extinguished by the
engulfing emotions
and fear in thy mind..
The realization returns again and again
that it's for me to find my own
"roads to freedom"
while still roaming this realm.

Saved in time
It's through the words of other beings who've wandered here
that I've been able to look deeper
within and see the wonder
that's always been,
the wonder of being in
"the skin I'm in"..
A chance to live in
love and light
not without chaos and fright
but don't let your soul or hope get lost
in the uncertainty night after night..
Wisdom shared and saved in time,
projections of mind
painted on page upon page
century after century
soul after soul after soul
sharing what's known
and opening doors
for...

Deeper into the dream
We can't escape the process
even though as the witness it
may leave one nauseous..
The transition is sacred
and must be embraced,
every being comes to see
thy essence is never misplaced..
Sad as it is
and deep as it's felt
let us be glad
for the moments we had
together in this realm..
But in that space beyond time,
beyond confusion, beyond mind
there is us as one,
swimming in spirit..
in the shadows we shine
strong as the sun.
No words
no worldy worries
or need to...

Soul streams on
Thy mind may melt,
the body, bound to break down
in it's eventual brittleness
but soul..
this soul streams on
in stillness or in motion
coloring every crevice and dimension,
the source of it all..
Just attempt to feel this
and don't dismiss it in yourself
hold on to the love and hope
while still here..
The fearing, fretting and regretting
just aren't worth it
and a disgrace to oneself,
detrimental to ones health.
Don't let these worldly worries
break you down,
see the self doubt ...

Blessed to possess
Spirits dancing in the flesh"
I feel blessed to possess
this breath and chance to be..
Entranced when I see within me
the entrance into the ever expanding
sea of mysteries..
Enthralling and containing all the
remaining entities and creations
drifting through glory or devastation..
Resilient we must become
as reality rearranges
the self changes,
you flow with it all or resist to then
struggle indefinitely with a mind
roaming desperately
dwelling restlessly..
Retain the vision

See it all as art
I absorb all the art I can
and embrace the art that I am
as a canvas through which the cosmos displays itself..
here and now in this ocean of being.
Still I see myself fleeing from what
I fear and am..
I see also that there's no sense in
deceiving oneself
with tumultuous thoughts
I keep believing
which keeps me grieving and seething
within..
Yet that war rages on,
like a bird encaged
you can't soar,
like a man enslaved
you fly in your mind
to another land or another time,
can't take it...

"crossed the Rubicon"
I crossed the Rubicon"
of this inner realm..
I level the landscapes I've longed
to leave behind..
Lead me on
Oh "goddess of the dawn"
So I can make my peace and
drift along..
It's a strange sector here
of time space and soul
where most struggle to find
a trace of control.
But the choice is ours
to trap or free ourselves,
can't keep your priorities shelved
if you feel like you're living in hell,
doomed if you continue to dwell..
Right here, right now
you choose fear
or you let...

Sewn in space
Unspoken secrets
shared in silence..
unbroken spirits
lifting in defiance,
we decide whether or not we
divide or remain tethered to each other's
essence to stop the senseless
sabotaging of self and species..
Sewn in space together,
drawn in time out of darkness
all of us sent to shine in the starkness,
rising in glory
out of the gory scenes
and madness in this maze
of screams..
Let us dream and have hope still
we must..

Let us flow
Are we here?
Are we there..
Sense your presence
it's one with the air,
sky, stars and sun
so see no reason to feel shunned
or summoned to suffer..
You can live and leave as a lover
becoming tougher
through each exhaustive event
but through each struggle
it's yourself you can reinvent
to any extent
however subtle or extreme..
I guess your reality is
whatever you deem it to be
be it a realm of misery or a dream.
We are here
we are there,
drifting through forms
with infinite...
