Eyes of the abyss (revised)
Been in a haze
ever since
I wandered and gazed
into the eyes of the abyss..
I've stumbled and swayed,
tumbled through disarray
only to find
I'm the cause of my dismay.
Been awhile since I
took a second to just
sit with myself.
Too long it's been,
so far gone I seem again..
In my mind all I do is run run run
and quicky burnout
in no blazing glory,
still stuck in my same ole
sad story.
"I and I"
existing in a space
of self disgrace
and endless explorations. ...

Believe
Better believe
that your soul
and your body
and your mind are
without a doubt
breathtakingly beautiful and
most definitely
divinely designed,
this truth you know you could never
try to deny or detest
for
you were made by the greatest force
and source of eternal love and peace
meant to guide you down a path
where you learn to cease
from sullying the spirit,
where you learn to release from
routinely ruining the rest
of your existence..
Better believe
no one's better or worse than...

and source of eternal love and peace

No end
I fear tomorrow I'll be crying"
so today I'll be flying
towards finding that freedom within
which I plan to keep till the end of days
when mind body and soul part ways.
Really I see no end though,
only transformation,
a transition so spectacular
and wondered about for centuries,
everyone searching for the secrets assuming they should be spread,
shared with the species
but no one could/should ever claim to understand this universe
not even one's own experience is enough to explain this enigma
we're all...

Soon to be seen
Fuel for the fire
to lift myself higher,
to drift deeper
before my soul's too tired
and ready to retire.
I feel aware again
more aware than I've been and felt
in my whole entire life I can
sense thy spirit sync
with those sacred symphonies
capable of seducing any soul,
sent to induce those used to control..
everything's strange
and gets stranger continuously,
still subject to change
which we object and deny
till the day we "die"
but at that moment
we won't and can't ask why
as there's...

Death of a Crow
I should prefer they be called a congregation when they come together.
Their gatherings hold all the essence of worshiping kin flocking together
to sing and dance and feast.
Loudly croning Jesus and Buddha and Crow
in a language recognized by the attuned.
No, I should listen more intently
and prefer their rightful name.
A murder of crows.
For in their conclave, the death of crow is imminent, Crow immanent.
One becomes murder.
As one, they attend.
They become one,
worshipping death
and reveling in life.
Wholly....

Here There Be Monsters
if you don’t like the dark side
the sinful
belligerent
anarchic
then change the channel
if you cant handle
the politically incorrect
the base
the lustful
then go somewhere else
if you’re not turned on by
four letter words
five letter words
twelve letter words
buzz off
(that was onomatopoeia
at its worst)
if you don’t get
similes
metaphors
colloquialisms
clever plays on words
go read a tabloid
if you don’t understand
sarcasm
practical jokes...

a scarred wind blows silent
a blowing wind
stinks with fear
the children's play
is covered with rust
rotten is the fruit
of man's labor
January has taken
refuge in the soul
mercy has become
an immigrant looking
for safe harbour
truth is looking for
a place to hide it's
scarred face
all along tortured
river banks, dirty
waters moan
the eyes of history
blink
an apple plucked
from a tree
Osiris falls from
the sky
a monk burns in
Viet...

"dating" for ppl like me
I think about movies and television series; the "dating scene" to be admired and seen from a background audience it almost always seems;
a hint of more or less vanity; like modeling for a magazine for validity;
we understand it's not only about what we like about the body;
though subconsciously it holds a great deal of sexual appeal to admire what your eyes see; everything is set-up traditionally for some sense of comfort and integrity; at least that's what is ingrained in most to believe;

Human
I am... who I am, I am.
I'm here and then there again.
The shadow ...The Light.
Am far away or nearby,
blending behind.
I am just me,
humble and carefree.
In development, always
looking for my own core.
Constant search for who I am.
On a daily note; exploring even more. Someday it will find the answer to the question.
For what is it what I am?
For now I can only say;
I am me like you, only different,
yet still the same;
Human is the name
I'm here and then there again.
The shadow ...The Light.
Am far away or nearby,
blending behind.
I am just me,
humble and carefree.
In development, always
looking for my own core.
Constant search for who I am.
On a daily note; exploring even more. Someday it will find the answer to the question.
For what is it what I am?
For now I can only say;
I am me like you, only different,
yet still the same;
Human is the name

The Beauty of Strangers
There are tongues
That speak to us more
Sincerely and closely
Than ever could one’s mother,
Than ever dared our brethren
Among us.
There are signed confessions brought forth
One can only make out
To a stranger,
Determined secrets revealed
Without our knowing,
While attaining from them
A self they will never meet.
There are jaded eyes
That replenish us anew,
Hold us still and
Challenge our humanity,
Resetting the game in no-one's favor.
There are backward glances
Looking forward beyond, ...
That speak to us more
Sincerely and closely
Than ever could one’s mother,
Than ever dared our brethren
Among us.
There are signed confessions brought forth
One can only make out
To a stranger,
Determined secrets revealed
Without our knowing,
While attaining from them
A self they will never meet.
There are jaded eyes
That replenish us anew,
Hold us still and
Challenge our humanity,
Resetting the game in no-one's favor.
There are backward glances
Looking forward beyond, ...

Spitting radiation death via corporate,

Self-Hell group) (formerly Heaven)

wishing our kids be heroes for the Right,
(alive or dead, or comin'home sick and
