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..
Slithering into oblivion
Lips quivering
body shivering.
Soul slithering into oblivion.
No dominion over my thoughts,
"The mind is a good servant but a bad master" said Alan Watts.
Endless mind chatter really overwhelms me at times,
best way to heal myself is through rhymes.
I'm the quiet one,
the defiant one,
the overanalyzer
the limitless fantasizer.
Unable to connect to others,
A lack of lovers.
Confined to my mind at times
seemingly shy but really I'm high.
Unable to explain why I'm so introverted
hard to maintain sanity when...

Subjugated animals
We're subjugated animals
so unaware, we never see
convinced this is reality.
This reality is just an illusion.
Still we play along with the rules, what for?
Because we don't question anything
and we continue to allow the "elite" to give themselves power,
and every day we look around
destruction swarming round and round.
Can't we see the mess we've made
this ego trap was must evade.
and everybody blindly obeys, what for?
Life here could be so much more
for us and them and our earth that we all should adore.
But...

Sink
As you sink within your bed,
are you trapped inside your head?
Racing thoughts keep you awake,
now your eyes begin to ache.
Soon we rise to earn our pay
everyday the same way.
I see people stressing themselves to death
people stressing never catching their breath.
I'm learning to live from people I see,
Learning to live not so miserably.
Will we ever find our peace?
Will our pain ever cease?
are you trapped inside your head?
Racing thoughts keep you awake,
now your eyes begin to ache.
Soon we rise to earn our pay
everyday the same way.
I see people stressing themselves to death
people stressing never catching their breath.
I'm learning to live from people I see,
Learning to live not so miserably.
Will we ever find our peace?
Will our pain ever cease?

Blue virtuosos
It sounds of genuine feel,
notes as sharp as steel.
the howls and growls,
the moans and groans.
Songs of and older, primitive roadhouse. The true pioneers, starting most of it. So many to discover, even more to uncover.
Puts you in an eerie black and white scene. Foggy joints filled with inventiveness of new flashy, emotional expressions. Forever changing, always ranging. Gets on stage unleashing some rage. Incomprehensible sounds being born. Strange smoke fills the tight space. Slick tricks from the blue virtuosos performed in your face. A revolution unbeknown to...

Addiction epidemic
Soul traveling
Mind unraveling
just a momentary being
infinite time I am seeing.
Far out past this reality,
away from this society.
This drug infested civilization
drugs in everything.
How can we claim to be sober?
as these drugs take us over.
In your food
in the air
affecting your mood
still we're not aware but we should care
about what we're really consuming.
Poisons in the sky stay looming over
a chemically induced population,
full of frustration and pain.
Enough to drive them insane ...

Don't wanna disappear
Stranger than the status quo,
my soul aglow driftin' slow
in this shit show society, illusory realities and Misled minds.
Hope for us all to cope, to not get Lost in dope.
Dead right, don't fight, try to unite.
People have been led astray since freedom was taken away.
Every day, in some way, this disarrayed dismay slays prey for pay and they can only pray.
Enslaved by These egos, trapped by egos, fake egos, let go to grow, let your soul inflow.
Lose self control and you'll find yourself deep in a hole.

The echo of infinity
Underneath the universe
Lies our strange lost ancient earth
And deep within our earthly essence
Resides a cosmic consciousness.
The echo of infinity
Comes drifting through my open eyes
And everything seems strange and disarranged.
And no one sees what "life" can be
And no one knows the secrets of the universe,
Somethings go and somethings stay
Life just feels like one long day.
Silence screams between my ears,
Embracing this space losing my fears
As I've changed myself and awakening has commenced.
Why don't we embrace...

As I've changed myself and awakening has commenced.
Why don't we embrace...

Is this our fate?
I wish we would embrace the "drugs"
That don't make you brain dead
The ones that feed your head.
Natures teachers
For us earthly creatures to use to enhance our perceptions of ourselves and life.
To view existence from a higher dimensional perspective
Beyond the egotistical point of view
Where it's all about you.
These ancient substances show us there is more to this reality than we think we know.
They have much to show
They can help us grow as a species.
Tell us to stop destroying ourselves
Creatin our own hell.

Strange life
It's a strange life immersed in this internal strife,
It's a weird world as my mind stays so unfurled,
It's a sad sight watching this internal fight,
It's a long year hiding behind this fear.
One day I hope to be able to cope with existence,
I gotta make the journey and take a chance with persistence alone, with minimal assistance,
To free my anxious mind
And live this life in peace if that's something I can ever find.
I feel kinda lost in this infinite space
Mindlessly searching for peace without a trace
Looking in the mirror...

Monkey mind
Hundreds of thoughts per minute no doubt
No longer in it to win it I'm out.
One thought leads to another
Then another till I'm smothered and covered with endless mind chatter
Which overwhelms this monkey mind.
It's hard to find peace at times, hard to unwind when your thoughts aren't so kind
And they make you feel like your in a bind.
I think it's a test of sorts, to not let the thoughts control you.
The ultimate quest,
To free yourself from stress,
To realize we're blessed
And to not feel depressed.
It's in your best interest to...

Take a trip
Just a glimpse into madness
See this control causes sadness.
Empty eyes spread evil lies
And Act without reason.
Keep the masses in the illusion
Watch them all drown in confusion,
Only fear breaks the silence
As we all search for distorted guidance.
Take a trip into the abyss
Look around at the madness.
Within your eyes in your reflection
Trapped inside endless self inspection.
Don't be afraid to face the darkness
Let go of fear find your awareness,
Change yourself if you wish to change the world
If we don't we...

The stream
Thoughtlessly droning
I'm flowing into the unknown zone
All alone on my own.
Mysteriously, deliriously
Universally curious.
Just a thought one in which I'm caught these battles always gotta be fought for naught.
A waste of energy
Oblivious to the cosmic synergy
Lost in this dream
It seems Its duration is infinite.
Obliteration of rationalisation
Only realizations of eternal revelations
Universal elation.
Earthly frustrations dissipated.
Emancipated from nihilistic visions
