Nature's Cosmology - with Her
In nature's woods cosmology,
of oboes and strings
on landscape architecture,
of green grass Maybelline.
With the falling rain of imagination
in twilight's mythical sheen.
Reaching out to the hands on a fob
to cut out memories with scissors,
in meditation with cellos
and chorus, blended with muted winds.
Where pine needles pirouette
and ribbons of horsehair blow,
in nature's woods cosmology
of oboes and strings
on landscape architecture,
of green grass Maybelline.
With the falling rain of imagination
in twilight's mythical sheen.
Reaching out to the hands on a fob
to cut out memories with scissors,
in meditation with cellos
and chorus, blended with muted winds.
Where pine needles pirouette
and ribbons of horsehair blow,
in nature's woods cosmology

Ugliness Of The Virtual Beauty
i boldly stood on the massive boulder
Watching the small village that lies below
It seemed in the eye of the mystic seer
That time up here, is heavenly too slow
In the foggy streets, nestled houses in clusters
Leave nought to the narrowest peep to breathe
From whence chimneys smoke up very thick layers
Where the living ones, spend a narrow life so brief
With every step uphill the heaven's gates open
To the most jocund views, that earth can show
Those small brooks, rivers and grand mountain
A beauty piece of earth to...

I see:
a stack of boxes of unwanted responsibility
a calm, new-moss green wall
artwork from a child now grown
a disarray of important papers
a thirsty spider plant
I hear:
a ringing whine that is mine alone
the faint sound of Metallica
a bathroom fan
the scratch of my pen on paper
I feel:
a cozy armchair hugging my body
a hamstring that’s begging for stretching
the tickle of anxiety deep in my core
I smell:
burnt crumbs in the toaster
the early morning sweat of my own warm body
I taste: ...

sword of the mind
do not let your mind
be a rabbit darting
wildly about, fleeing
from the foxes pursuit
instead, let it be like
the alligator lying still
beneath slow moving
waters waiting for the
antelope to stop and
drink
let go of fear and
expectations
let all things come
to you

Soul searching
Where art thou”, I heard you say
Whilst searching for the answers
Don’t look out there, look inside yourself
For only there will you find the answers
“But how” you asked, with a puzzled face
“I can’t hear any voices”
You aren’t to listen, I replied
You know through intuition

psychographed telegram
I'm waiting for you
(as if I had
ants in my pants)
to win
imaginary battles
for a daily
changing...
spend time
looking for you
trying to know
where are you
where are
your thought-feet
your mouth-regret
where are you?
where is the ecstasy
that you knew how to reach
that you knew how to hide
that you knew not to know
time passes
glued to your feet
penances
silent on your lips
flames
where will you be
when I'm not
looking for you

Breathe Out
let the shit dissolve
be it real or imaginary
we all have to detox the mind
to survive

Radioactive
Every journey has demands,
amphibious creatures unto lands
Of sands,
Converting oxygen with methods
written into the design
by creation, & or, evolution
To sustain
Trips into foreign places,
in search of information,
Out of instinct, like
The poet, always bringing back
Ink.
Radiated
by the other side,
in residual aftermaths,
over time, becoming deeply engrained
In
Grains of sand,
washed over and moved
by the waves of self, in a groove,...

Silence
Silence
When the words were intense
and the soul no longer
conceded to comfort
Thoughts got blind
and the heart beats in tension
Silence
*****
Absent are ardent
words
an inability to fill gaps
meanings suspended
seasons slowly stretching
Silence
*****
A thin veil
hiding behind
a thick weight
suppressing many a
sound
Silence
*****
Deeply delving into a void
seeking the significance
of a still word
trying to explain an unexplained
world
Silence ...

Sunset Midnight

A team
of one
has focus
extreme,
busting
its seam,
and moving
mid-stream.
Nothing
is lost
when the practice
is cream,
and the outcome
is dancing
right
through it.

I decided, this year,
to start
from the bottom.
From the very
core of my being.
Taking the time to
understand why
I choose to do
what I do.
And I've realised
Over the years
I have, in fact developed,
though I feel as
the lens was always cracked.
My memories are
blemished and distorted
my focus near sited
my perception sad
But instead of changing the lens
I adjusted to the damaged view
Compromising my values
Setting limits to my truth.
I let all of those who cracked my lens ...
