MY TOO LONG VANISHED MISSING SILENT MUSE (4-1-15, 4:45pm, Starbucks coffee shop, Hemet, California)
one blank
empty page
under cold vain
ball point gaze
of stagnant
jaded
ink filled pens
increasingly weakened
scrutiny
long derailed
here yet again
in futile quest
of my too long vanished
burnt out gun shy
slippery missing
silent muse
for nigh on
two years now
who fled the scene
of everything
left in silent mystery
left me with this
gaping empty hole
here all alone
when some sudden
fresh new
stronger
even more
insatiably obsessive
hot blooded
sex crazed phase
of my much more
easily excited
sex starved other
pagan muse
dynamically
demonstrably
moved in
to overtake
to overthrow
and completely occupy
all my thoughts
and senses
my mind my time
and intuition
my rabid appetite
for life
lo even my dreams
soon likewise
succumbed
falling silent prey
to the rampant
juicy feast
of my runaway
renegade innermost beast
trying its best
to retroactively
over compensate
all that lifelong
lonesome carnal lack
reeling it back in
so fast and furious
at such a voracious pace
in trying to pull in
so much crucial slack
forty years at least
of my fated stolen
human wholeness
gone by now without
to finally
at long last
be able to compensate
with such deep
joyous confidence
such pleasurable relief
from my oversaturations
collective satisfaction
from such latent
sweet fulfillment
of so much primal need
that fed my raw wild lust
with such frequent
blissful conquest
id never really had before
throughout my life
till now
at least not
to this degree
beyond my wildest dreams
and yet alas
its left me still
without true love
beyond myself alone
despite the hundreds served
here so intensely
though just as superficially since
and yet sometimes
it seems and feels
after all is said and done
its also left my head
my heart
my love of life itself
indeed
my world at large
still just as lost
as ever
spinning
madly
on and on
though somehow
better off
this time around
in some peculiar
yet still
deficient way
somewhere high out there
only semi happy
yet just as confused
as before
in the boundless
though much too rare
much too fleeting
invisible ecstasy
of so much
verboten
self fulfillment
until id finally
drowned enough
in the seemingly
bottomless sea
of my own
deep blind excess
addicted as i am
or so it seems at times
just as ive always been
at least to
some degree
without the vital key
of seeing through
my relentless appetite
through all the mostly
superficial
impersonal
hollow emptiness
it largely was and is
into a deeper clarity
a simpler clearer truth
of another reality
ive longed
and prayed for most
that so elusive
liberating key
which once in mind
and hand
allows me to unlock
everything
i see and find
i like and want
to feel and fuse with
all that which speaks my name
in any yielding
resonant tongue
of this still broken dreams
once more fluid mirrors
long shattered
imperfections
oblique introspections
which ive become
yet have always been
though never more so
than here now
still teetering precariously on
somewhere way
way way out there
or is it here
long lost within
their ill juxtaposed
unkindred hostile hinterlands
simultaneously
laughing and crying
forever slipping
back and forth
along the quivering
fragile borderline
somewhere just beyond
the conscious
reach and grasp
of most
where i am oddly
so relaxed
at peace here
deep within
the deeper
mostly unseen
inside outside in
upside downside up
multi dimensionally peripheral
alternative realities
ive learned to access
and navigate alone
from years
of necessary escapist
survival practice
experience
a neutral safe place
a hidden retreat
to call my own
where i have frequently gone
by choice
as much as when
desperately needed
somewhere unmappable
obscure unseen
between
enlightenment
and insanity
an interesting world
kept and held secretly within
my unique awareness s
own strange
self expressive takes
seemingly perpetual
free will chosen state
ive always sought and found
to take my sweet isolated
creative refuge in
where it seems
ive once more gone
unintentionally slipped off
to retreat into
here yet again
although i dont quite know
just how
all this came to evolve
nor to actually
be here now
amid all these fraily twisted
inwardly reflective
loosely felt
daydream like
intuitive thoughts
spontaneously arisen
released in the still
receptively spreading wake
of these openly
free flowing moments
up from whence
somewhere even deeper within
subconsciously beneath
and beyond it all
ive really been only
seeking and longing
for almost three years now
my long lost slippery
too long vanished
missing silenced
muses
hopeful return
to call on me
to word its sight
to freely shine
what light we share
with this broken
coldly indifferent
yet still so beautiful
and wondrously mysterious
long suffering
struggling world
here once more
yet
again
