New years blessings
gnosis where snow flakes flock
sentient ones immortal icicles
may he that speaketh begins
among last fading greens
these three unite as She
Sala Niejta daughter of Sun
Rana Niejta daughter of this fertile earth
Saivo Niejta daughter of the underworlds
stand with me encircled
silver slivers shine
salving breath
ice giants
chasms
now
we
are
...

once a black moon
a nymph slips
sylph shaded
bearing eyelids
kajal writings
engraved lips
occur opaque
ancestral
I gaze into
sentient
essence
find me
lunar one
among lithium
my Lilith orb
becomes
a lily white
atom
floating

Eternally Harmony
For sure what are you willing to sacrifice, for your eternal Harmony
🤔 For what are you doing in order to remain positive, and focus on what you want and need not what you don't need or want, in your life and world. 🌎 For real do you know what you want and need, to sustain your own way of thinking about your own life. 😌 For haven't you had enough of the UNTRUTH, that you've been receiving 😳 for sure you don't deserve what you've been getting from someone. For real what would you change from them to now. 🤔 For just a mortal moment just imagine,...

A Path To Walk
A path to walk, would that be fate?
that fear of dark, would I abate?
souls of profound bonds seldom found
barren hearts wouldn't tread that ground
quiet calls to trace in timeless rate.
Would inner rhythm dictate
heart abode or be it blind date?
or just to a world be spellbound?
A path to walk
To each step there should be a date
for every choice time wouldn't wait
roamers seek not the Self imbound
on divine journeys, souls unbound
feed heart and open wide mind's gate
A path to walk.
that fear of dark, would I abate?
souls of profound bonds seldom found
barren hearts wouldn't tread that ground
quiet calls to trace in timeless rate.
Would inner rhythm dictate
heart abode or be it blind date?
or just to a world be spellbound?
A path to walk
To each step there should be a date
for every choice time wouldn't wait
roamers seek not the Self imbound
on divine journeys, souls unbound
feed heart and open wide mind's gate
A path to walk.

Shamanism
born as Buryat
Mongolia
Siberia
these are the names
forefather foremother gave me
horse shoed donkey eyed
we climbed at times barefoot
arctic lupines teething icicles
slivers silver camouflaged
until mauve mirrors grew
gongs tremble skies
songs sighed
antlers bear hives
Tuvan tongues
snow flaked
we are the only ones
ancient
architects
of
silence

Odd Thoughts
I sit here and watch the drop of liquid coke
Roll into a puddle of sugary bliss.
Zoned into nothing.
Space is a non-touchable thing.
Yet all-encompassing
When the submucosal walls
Dry out from lack of adequate liquid substrate.
The mind is forced to retaliate.
Sending a resound call.
To attack
Subconsciously driven.
A need to fulfill the addiction.
The cool feeling
Thrashes against the heat
Only to be awarded
By a thief
Who has stolen?
My vibration
Roll into a puddle of sugary bliss.
Zoned into nothing.
Space is a non-touchable thing.
Yet all-encompassing
When the submucosal walls
Dry out from lack of adequate liquid substrate.
The mind is forced to retaliate.
Sending a resound call.
To attack
Subconsciously driven.
A need to fulfill the addiction.
The cool feeling
Thrashes against the heat
Only to be awarded
By a thief
Who has stolen?
My vibration

Teeth
Alien Predator within me
My teeth are sinking into my core
My tail is razor sharp but predator has weapons
Teeth to teeth Jaw to jaw pull us both under me
Going down the depths of misery
Still clamped jaw to jaw and soul to devil
Stretcher lifts me up takes me
Back down where I started in me
Eyes are closed I feel my sins
Building a coffin of my deeds
Predator alive alien within me breathing
We are predators of innocence
Get you close enough to sink in

Seeds
The bee and the flower, how could either know
that because of their little dance the world lives?
Writing words is like waxing one’s carrot, to borrow from a colorful George Carlin metaphor. One sees something and it sets off a spark in the loins. What are words on a page but the end result of the same spark? and what is a sperm cell that is produced without first being a very pleasant hit of dopamine .
This is our process, displayed through a billion variations on the same life-giving theme and force.
But for every word written in this single suspended...

Fruit Jar Fileflies
I see words, and they see me
It’s true they are sentient, quite
But they will never see
my world through my loins
They keep floating by, ever speaking
never ceasing like tinnitus to my transient sight
Like orphans somewhere never
Their little fingers grope as they look at me squarely
Speaking barely, “nurse me into your light”
just before they are gone forever
So much needless loss
I spill my precious sperms on the ground
and kill my darlings before they become darlings
Their lot is to die in the silence...
It’s true they are sentient, quite

Speaking barely, “nurse me into your light”

SACRED LOVE
WOMAN TO MAN AND MAN TO WOMAN 💞 From the deepness of your heart have you ever had a sacred love, that fell into your laps that just makes you feel like a good thing. JUST 🤫happen to change your whole entire perspective. 🤫 For sure no one is sent to you, by chance or accident, yet sometimes that's not true. 😔 For sure actions speak louder than words, for wouldn't you rather have truth of telling me just show me. 🤔 Do you have a sense of real commitment with consistency, that has real communications skills to articulate. Your thoughts and insight and...

Worms
What-if will tomorrow be what-is, maybe
Yesterday and tomorrow have become lovers today
because they know they can never marry
Tomorrow’s today is no man’s bride
And yesterday’s worm becomes who we thot
today and forever, until we’re not
The earthworm drinks its love from the soil
and the cankerworm gratifies itself slowly
For this I have learned to be most grateful.
Each of us thinks we decide
but is that right? No, it is this way
because the worms say it is so
Yesterday and tomorrow have become lovers today
because they know they can never marry
Tomorrow’s today is no man’s bride
And yesterday’s worm becomes who we thot
today and forever, until we’re not
The earthworm drinks its love from the soil
and the cankerworm gratifies itself slowly
For this I have learned to be most grateful.
Each of us thinks we decide
but is that right? No, it is this way
because the worms say it is so
