Poet Introduction
Sometimes the words just seem to flow; when I am lucky, I catch them before they slip away.

Torment
What is this torment
Which won’t go away
A bottomless pit
Leads me astray
This shadow
So vile
Deep in my soul
Haunting my being
Wherever I go
It seems to come
From here
Or there
But when I look
There’s nothing there
I catch a glimpse
In my reflection
A cold
Dark
Space
Of my own
Election
Trapped within
Duality
Contemplating
Morality
Or
Mortality
Might as well
Be dead
If you are
Only living
In your head
Living within
This skin...
Which won’t go away

Leads me astray

So vile
Deep in my soul

There’s nothing there

Transformed
That which is
Sees through these eyes
A grand illusion
Truth in disguise
Perhaps there is more
To this crazy dream
In life things are seldom
Just as they seem
I ask myself
Is this free will
The pervading Spirit
Whispers, be still
Trust the process
Let yourself play
Life goes well
When lived in this way
Be in the moment
Resplendently clear
Let go of judgments
Relinquish all fear
Light of creation
Geometrically formed
Free of illusion
Life is transformed
Sees through these eyes
A grand illusion
Truth in disguise
Perhaps there is more
To this crazy dream
In life things are seldom
Just as they seem
I ask myself
Is this free will
The pervading Spirit
Whispers, be still
Trust the process
Let yourself play
Life goes well
When lived in this way
Be in the moment
Resplendently clear
Let go of judgments
Relinquish all fear
Light of creation
Geometrically formed
Free of illusion
Life is transformed

Unleashed
If we wish to see
How completely free
We are meant to be
This is the key
We must emulate
What we appreciate
We then create
A peaceful state
Our aspirations
For new creations
Brings inspiration
To all nations
As darkness is exposed
The light of love implodes
Releasing what is old
Unleashing all that’s bold
How completely free
We are meant to be
This is the key

We then create
A peaceful state
Our aspirations
For new creations
Brings inspiration
To all nations

Releasing what is old

Truth Seeker
Living the dream
Living a lie
The line has been drawn
It is now do or die
Programs written
Long ago
Were imparted to us
Before we could know
Acknowledge the darkness
Of your own mind
Seek answers within
The soul burns sublime
Speak only truth
Decide what you will
As you choose each instant
What you wish to instill
Do not be discouraged
By what you may find
All will be balanced
In its own time
Spirit is waiting
For us to awake
Live in the moment
Create your own fate

Flow
Intentions come
Intentions go
True power
Is found
In the flow
The flow of ideas
Of imagination
Sets the tone
Of our creation
All intertwines
With what we believe
The perceptions we choose
Will decide what we see

Vision
A silent voice
Deep within
Whispers gently
Let me in
I will tell you a secret
Follow your dreams
Nothing is ever
As hard as it seems
Embrace your shadow
Leave judgments behind
Shift your perceptions
Now is the time
It all starts with you
This moment untouched
Bring forth your vision
Put down your crutch
Let the essence of life
Soar through your veins
Clearing away
What fear entertained
Open your mind
This is the key
I have shown you the way
Set yourself free
Within...

Victim No More
To be a victim
Is a state of mind
Release your sorrow
And peace you will find
Each has the ability
To choose a new way
To view our world
And the parts that we play
So open your heart
Let your thoughts soar
Only then will you know
You are a victim no more
Is a state of mind
Release your sorrow
And peace you will find
Each has the ability
To choose a new way
To view our world
And the parts that we play
So open your heart
Let your thoughts soar
Only then will you know
You are a victim no more

Reflection
Love is the mirror
Through which I see
The inspirational
Part of me
As the veil is lifted
The light within
Shines through my eyes
But sees no sin
Fear is the mirror
Through which I can know
The part of myself
That I hid long ago
Within lies the truth
Of who I really am
When I listen closely
I hear it once again
It was only a dream
A part that was played
It is time to arise
And see what we made
Not good, not bad
No judgments to make
No guilt to bestow
Only love to awake...

The Key
Health, Wealth
Happiness
We search for these
Outside ourselves
So elusive
They seem to be
Slipping through our fingers
Into the sea
The sea of emotions
Kept deep inside
In the shadows
They lurk and hide
As we turn
Our sight within
We are liberated
From our sin
The sin of believing
In the illusions we made
Keeps us from knowing
It is only a game
A game that is played
So all will see
Love is the answer
Love is the key
The key that will save us
Bring forth the...

The Beast
Thoughts that run wild
Like a beast in the night
Drive us to madness
Self loathing ignites
Frightened, confused
Feeling the pain
Of being alone
Living in shame
Our envy, our pride
Indifference and greed
Drains life from our hearts
With every misdeed
Unaware of the damage
Our ignorance inflicts
We follow blindly
What truth contradicts
These thoughts we allow
To inhabit our lives
We must choose to transcend
If we are to survive
Each moment of pain

Wake Up
How to awaken
Those so deep in sleep
Running around
Like lost little sheep
I try to explain
The truth about life
Blinded by illusions
They remain blithe
Buying and selling
Gossip and sports
Trivial matters
Attract these cohorts
Bitch and blame
Argue and fight
In Gods name they kill
Claiming the right
Wake up little sheep
Open your eyes
Stop telling yourselves
These made up lies
Think for a moment
Who stands to gain
In a world where so many
Are living in pain
We are...
