Three Songs
NEVER CRY AGAIN
Go ahead...
Go ahead and be a loner
Go ahead... Sure, go right ahead.
And the songlyrics won't have character
An imitation of yourself
An imitation of someone else
Never cry again
Go ahead...
Go ahead and be a border
Go ahead... Travel through danger
A useless treaty with your fate
Give your vengeance wisdom
Give your vengeance knowledge
Never cry again

Go ahead...

Go ahead...
Go ahead and be a border
Go ahead... Travel through danger
A useless treaty with your fate
Give your vengeance wisdom
Give your vengeance knowledge
Never cry again

Short Love Poem For Her
.. ...
My love for her is as pure as her heart
So fathomably deep it makes my life run
There is no way to know what is romantic...
Without knowing her
My mind...
Her mind...
Emotionally calm states
Mantra, concentration, visualization
Classified information
My love for her is unusual as her name; Tulip
So quickly she flowers... petals without thorns
I notice all the shiny intellectual things ...
About her

Switching To Past Tense...
.. ...
Switching to past tense...
I write this poem
And the past is tense with déjà vu
Meanwhile...
Time elapses ... between the lines
And I read... several journeys...
Several trips to the present intervened
Switching to past tense...
I continued this poem
Line and stanza ...
Revolving around each other
Rhythm and intonation ...
Dabbling in teleportation
...

Wasted Idleness Sq.
I went out to the square,...
Because heaven was in my head,
Trees in full bloom awoke a delightful breeze
I laughed selfishly to see an apparition...
I am always a partner in someone else's mysteries
Sudden from my paradise... like a vision,...
... I wished it were a female ghost
The abode of souls... is desperation...
... Filling earthly voids...
Oh,... this wasted idleness of mine
The blue sky seemed to swing at a rope's end,...
When it noticed I was a clairvoyant ...
But I never bother to think about myself ...

Chilling verses out of nowhere
Out of everywhere
And into here
Seeking company
Shutting out the sun
Required
Empty
Silent
Grimy
This perfectly unexpected commonplaceness
Oh, dude...
Feel the solitude of this deep dark happiness
Bringing oneself out of oneself...
Making oneself available
Life is always understandable

That Cheerful Woman In You
.. ...
There I am in the middle of a weird conversation
A lucid dream is being engineered
Going all unseen among your old enemies
Unsolved mysteries
I had been home to that cheerful woman in you...
When you were... a spy ... just across the lane
That woman in you who brings out... the mole ...in me
I won't fail to reproduce the words, the phrases, the scenes
Some things never change
Some things stay the same
Jog my furtive movements... Jog my memory ...
There I am in the middle of a weird conversation

A Far Halt
.. ...
Get a feel for the immensity of loneliness
Unveiling flows of neon lights
Just like a dark coastline along dimly lit cliffs
Get a feel for the immensity of obscurity
The hurting aesthetics of absence
Lifting shelters out of my soul
My journey is drawing to a close
Windows and doors, blinds and peepholes...
Magically spaced out among the shadows
I am a far halt
I am a far halt at a farther crossroad...
... within someone else's R.E.M.
... entering someone else's dreamscape
...

Forced March
Tropical beach
Wearing my white suits
Using my white magic
The waves rhapsodizing about unseen horizons
Appetite for keyboards and monitors
This poetry mania is based on odysseys
Distant thoughts are in turmoil
A joyride turning into a forced march
Semi-surreal life
I succumb to myself
Fictional or otherwise
Inspiration drying up
It works better in nightmares because it rhymes

The Way To Me
Mental exercises
Planes of existence...
Added and subtracted as called for
Epic journeys never fail
Tricks to disturb my rivals and my enemies
I cease to exist...
I cease from wanderings...
So complex... indeed
The so-called false mind
My own image
Falling into a black hole
Fading away
The change...
The change and the expansion ...
of my consciousness
The way to me ...
must not be one ... anyone can follow ...
must not be one ... anyone can feel
... ... ... ...

So flattering
So smooth
Unsaid deadly deceit
I drive myself out of me
Limbo

Guidance...
Darkness does not last forever
Secrets...
Leave their troubles with me
