Organum

Organum
I am a man
many say
is gentle as
the heavens know
an air of peace
& quiet love ferments
beneath my upbringing
my struggles
my awakening…………..
Wherever I step
Nature and homo sapiens
feel… know or somehow
touched in some
spiritual
ethereal
way
no different from any other
red blooded or other
blooded being,
while armed with skills to
harm, armed with a
preference for HARMONY.

Edge of Night
I’ve mis-sworn allegiance
misplaced my trust
in my own force of will and ego lust
Braving each path as the one who brought mirth
a cup-half-full vision my basis of worth
Now here we sit on the edge of night
casting no shadows in stars’ cold light
for we are but a meaningless mist
and this is eternity’s cruel twist:
It matters not what we do with our time
for all is lament and all will die
Though we reach for each other through cloud and shade
even love is lament
and love will fade
misplaced my trust
in my own force of will and ego lust
Braving each path as the one who brought mirth
a cup-half-full vision my basis of worth
Now here we sit on the edge of night
casting no shadows in stars’ cold light
for we are but a meaningless mist
and this is eternity’s cruel twist:
It matters not what we do with our time
for all is lament and all will die
Though we reach for each other through cloud and shade
even love is lament
and love will fade

Thaumaturgies
28 / 30
Thaumaturgies
Life, like nature hiking paths,
constitution of minute miracles
Do they still exist, occur
even if we’re not looking,
tunneling throughout with
bat vision and or ambivalently
watching where we step?
I believe the magick is still
all around us girding our
essence, our frequency
our resonance,
manifesting a constant of
tiny miracles
enhancing
entertaining
enlivening
what might be
a mundane existence

Crazy Lady Returns
I am perplexed.
Shocked by who I was
just days ago –
Who the hell was that?
Fawning, needy,
wretched creature,
I wish no one had witnessed her
but there she was,
born out of a week
laden with worst fears,
slow-cooked stress,
resentful sacrifice
and poorly mixed chemicals.
She crept up unnoticed
(though I should have learned by now)
a bottle of crocodile tears in one hand,
the other one wielding claws
As I relaxed my guard
she pounced
a tempest, shredding good will
leaving me to tend...

Bone Dry
My thoughts are brittle
Riddled with cracks and fractures
On the verge of acquittal
My energy is noncommittal
Awol
Dissipating little by little
My soul is withered
Life support
Carried away and littered
My pen is barren
Coughing up its last
Inkblot
Wastelands and desserts
Spew from my mouth
Like dry rot
My talent is desolate
Void of any intelligence
Boycott
Riddled with cracks and fractures
On the verge of acquittal
My energy is noncommittal
Awol
Dissipating little by little
My soul is withered
Life support
Carried away and littered
My pen is barren
Coughing up its last
Inkblot
Wastelands and desserts
Spew from my mouth
Like dry rot
My talent is desolate
Void of any intelligence

Defenestrating Childship
27 / 30
Defenestrating Childship
I don’t believe I ever had childhood fantasies
mostly, because I remember very little
no smiles no laughter
more of pain & what came after
always running
from something
from someone
trying to escape
I DO remember once ----
tried to escape by swallowing
all the pills in our medicine cabinet
hoping to enter dreamlands
where 5 years less of
adolescents’ fantasies
might thrive
I failed in my attempt
woke up to lectures
woke...

Brain Play
I know everything about something --
I researched it for hours;
took a deep dive into it
with hyperfocus powers.
I learned a million details
on my little study break,
completely unrelated
to the test I have to take.
I read a bunch of articles
and watched some videos.
My knowledge of the topic
is extensive now, I s’pose.
This rabbit hole of internet
was candy for my brain,
with dopamine aplenty
soothing math-inflicted pain.
I’m sure it will be useful
so you shouldn’t be upset;

Inductive, Deductive Equanimity

Inductive, Deductive Equanimity
Once I was bitter, & trapped
garbage, an insurmountable heap
sucking in mud (was it really mud?)
while scaling over the troubling pile.
Vision clouded
caught in the mouse trap
come to SEE after college
challenged me
Thinking outside the snare of
conformity I skipped out of
the self-replicating rat trap.
Yet my upbringing
religious anchor
moored me to non-logical thought
until the day I met a Buddhist monk
and dared to think for...

Rockwell Nostalgia
There’s a Norman Rockwell family,
classic family of four --
They’re smiling aggressively
from the calendar on my door.
The mom looks fairly normal,
perhaps a little tired.
Her pretty smile is well-rehearsed;
she knows it is required.
The dad has secrets in his grin;
his eyes are rather flirty.
I think he’s having thoughts about
the painter, and they’re dirty.
The son is smiling so damn hard
it looks more like a cry.
With one look at his sister,
I have suspicions why.
That kid’s expression...

Desideratum
25 / 30
Desideratum
Do we love one another
or need to love?
Often lines are blurred
confusing the two in
our minds. Maybe
that’s part of the
problem. Maybe the 2
should be jumbled up
in our hearts not our
minds. At the very
least, our din should
start there, I think.
There I go again using
my mind as opposed
to feeling first.
We can want to love
needing each other.
Feels right, right?
unique...

Best Pal
We captured frogs
had marble races
got humped by dogs
made up our faces
We walked to the pool
got lost in the woods
played hooky from school
devoured baked goods
We climbed in trees
and hopped on ice floes
scraped up our knees
watched music videos
You helped clean my room
I helped dirty yours
when I couldn’t go play
you finished my chores
Got into punk rock
and changed our hair
adventures followed us
everywhere
Life took us away
to different towns
but...
had marble races
got humped by dogs

watched music videos
You helped clean my room

Vivification

Vivification
I’ve traveled many miles
pushing aside fears of
walking trails in a different
land, landing in search
of smiles, love and or
Friendship.
In every face that came
my way, I sought to aid
or lighten their path;
I offered to help
to live in a manner
towards & amidst
Inner peace.
Sometimes I bonded
we shared sustenance
for our hungers
then looked to the skies
the stars
the ethereal planes
of no existence!
Leaving their path ...
