Maybe I'm Blind
Maybe I'm blind
in many ways
maybe I'm ignorant
in the things
that i say
But At Least I Try
Learning
is the reason
why i still breath
no direction
just being me
within my mind
Some people say
I'm not all there
some people say
that I'm
paranoid
when i question
what is said on the box
Everyday
That slides
into my head
it pains me to say
When the words
are feeling gray
when the rhythm

Obsidian Remarks.
If there is such a mirror
which can scry me
by certainty, describe it
cousin: as long as I've
looked into it, an opaque
revision does not bring
any more clarity, but less,
with time. Allow me to
divine, by materials that
are stirring: there I may
obtain a quarry, in ripple
displays of current, or
gentle impulsions, if you
prefer: an ebb, where
disruption is necessary.

Journey of the Ordinary
one foot in front of the other,
winds race wildly across the plains
whipping my hair into a frenzy;
sand from painted canyons
growing old
attacks my unprotected cheeks,
mounting a stinging, angry defense
this season has been impossibly hard
my thoughts wander every bit
as aimlessly as I do,
finding us both in a field
in the middle of somewhere
out in the middle of nowhere
a plain white styrofoam cup,
the kind found on cheap tables
in basement group meetings
where coffee is stale
and...

Sea of Clouds
I need to be alone sometimes
to get away...retire
retreat within the Sea of Clouds
escape the seething maya
into the mountains by the sea
into a state of mind
into the way I need to be
when slipping out of time
I need to contemplate, withdraw
to watch the endless stream
of thoughts with feelings intertwined
I need another dream...
sunflakes falling on the ground
butterflies and bees
perfumed flowers all around
warm inviting seas
starlight, moonlight, candles too
music with no words ...
to get away...retire
retreat within the Sea of Clouds
escape the seething maya
into the mountains by the sea
into a state of mind
into the way I need to be
when slipping out of time
I need to contemplate, withdraw
to watch the endless stream
of thoughts with feelings intertwined
I need another dream...
sunflakes falling on the ground
butterflies and bees
perfumed flowers all around
warm inviting seas
starlight, moonlight, candles too
music with no words ...

Eyes of a Child...
Fireflies in the black night sky, the
eyes of a child wonder at the light show.
Where did those eyes of wonder go?
Eyes of wonder, collectors of opportunity.
Where did I lose that ability to
see opportunity before it is gone?
Eyes of a child see even in the dark.
Where are those eyes that could watch
opportunity unroll like film on a screen,
clear, imaginable, reachable and exploitable.
Why has daylight destroyed the blessings of
blackness. Why have the eyes of a child
become the the eyes of a spectator, an
observer,...

Storms calm
May we be the sky
our thoughts but the breezes and tornadoes
our feelings the clouds and falling snow
our fears the hail and black holes
our longings the dew and stars
May we be wide open
holding, enfolding
embracing all
joyfully and boundlessly
in a skyscape of sun and moon and storm and the bright blue afterglow
Unfettered by the tempests of the day
may we be the calm in the center of it all.

Behind blind eyes
Behind blind eyes I see the light
Where no man dares to walk, amongst the angels as they sing and as they dance
Behind blind eyes I see the light,
No more suffering in sight
Come wash away all of your sin in the acid rains heading in
Your skin peeling back, your blood running thin and drowning out your voice
There's nothing left inside this void
I'll let you say goodbye
Behind blind eyes you'll see the light and your soul will realign
These fingertips are cold and stale as they hold you in your fear
Consciousness is ripped from your thoughts...
Where no man dares to walk, amongst the angels as they sing and as they dance
Behind blind eyes I see the light,
No more suffering in sight
Come wash away all of your sin in the acid rains heading in
Your skin peeling back, your blood running thin and drowning out your voice
There's nothing left inside this void
I'll let you say goodbye
Behind blind eyes you'll see the light and your soul will realign
These fingertips are cold and stale as they hold you in your fear

Who Are You
Who are you
within this vast
Energy field
where we all
Live
Who are you
to even suggest
that you know
Life
Who are you
when your mind
is stripped
down to the bone
when you don't even
Control
your own sea of mind
that speaks eloquently
for you to say
i know
therefore
I understand
if you ever begin
to emerge
from the primordial
soup
of your
premeditated
willful
Ignorant
mind
you will see
what it hides
the fear of you
No...

The Man Who Would Be King
Sometimes I get weird and destroy everything
I'll put extra hot sauce on my chicken wings
Then act like a maniac and yell a whole lot
Drink tons of coffee and smoke lot's of pot
Start thinking you're trying to do me wrong
Listen over and over to that Ying Yang song
Probably think you said something you didn't say
Or maybe you looked at me in a strange way
That's when I lose it and sharpen my tongue
And tell you that watching you die would be fun
It's then that I realize I've made a mistake
And notice all the damage I've left in my wake ...

Solitude of Aloneness
They say it is not good for mental health to be alone
Danger no matter where there's an endeavour to seek refuge
It is only true for those who have problems with the solitude of aloneness who become lonely
Being able to deal with difficulty without distraction
Whereas the rejuvenation from these moments is incomparable because of how good it feels being in the sanctuary of silent serenity
Trouble can follow at every turn
The world has no comprehension of the positiveness that lies in the condition of being a loner
Nature of having an appetite for risk can...

This Mind Is An Island
This mind is an island
Surround by treacherous water
Full of hungry sharks
A desolate landscape
Where my thoughts are marooned
Beyond the horizon is there hope
All I see is a deadly ocean
Though calm on the surface
Below lurks my fears
Ready to pull me under if I swim
Still all around my mind
Are the things that make it an island
In the darkness
I feel the crashing of waves
That erode my self esteem
I try to breathe
The feelings of anxiety go on
They cling like wet sand to...
