~selkie:: in the sempiternal inner calling
The one thing which we seek with insatiable desire is to forget ourselves, … to lose our sempiternal memory, and to do something without knowing how or why….” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
she
has appeared
for me ..
watching me
following me ..
an intervention
decodes me this
now…
will i be able to
sense her presence ..
she had risen for me
from the deep seas
.. in her enchanted seal
form .. her dense shiny skin ...

The Raptures of Polyps
To plumb the depths of mind,
a cavern vast,
Where shadows dance
and hidden pathways twist.
The first, stark question,
echoing at last:
What light will pierce
this ever-present mist?
A blindman's fumble,
grasping at the void,
A search for purchase,
where no foothold lies.
Yet, in this darkness,
dreams are unalloyed,
A writer's touch,
where starlight fills the skies.
The sun, a forge,
where fiery rivers run,
Its light...
a cavern vast,
Where shadows dance
and hidden pathways twist.
The first, stark question,
echoing at last:
What light will pierce
this ever-present mist?
A blindman's fumble,
grasping at the void,
A search for purchase,
where no foothold lies.
Yet, in this darkness,
dreams are unalloyed,
A writer's touch,
where starlight fills the skies.
The sun, a forge,
where fiery rivers run,

Spiritual Wolf
The elders say that we each have a entity hiding with in each of us, who is waiting for the chance to escape from the deepness, and depth of our mind and heart and spiritual soul of our subconsciousness of our thoughts. AS we are the ALPHA OF THE WOLF PACK meant to be set free as a leader of the wolves. For I soon learned why BIG MAMA needed to see me on that greatful and blessed day at the family reunion. She told me who I was told that was my own destiny. For the spirit of the WOLF offers meaning in the realm as a most striking animal showing the deepness of the power of the truth of the...

Generation to Generation
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ For what does it mean to pass down from generation to generation, as it was a precious red stone pass down from Generation to Generation. FOR the elders say that the red stone was not created by man, as it came from out of the ground but it was created, by the elements of time. FROM the ancient times of long ago before man even existed in the land, that time has forgotten. For it's sole purpose was as it was presented as a gift, created as a gift that had Mystikal powers. AS it was created out of a...

The uprising of the rebellion
They say that we all come in peace yet there's those who rather destroy, the true foundation of the Constitution of America, For sure you can't never make a right an wrong, but yet what you can do stop, the evil environments for their own political games. For sure even now as a change is slowly taking place, there are those individuals shills, that still can't handle the truth, that a new change is gonna come through out the world. 🌍 For sure you don't have to believe that what I say, 😤 just do your own research. YET we do have our own opinions and thoughts, on situations that...

Reverse Phoenix (Eagles burn slow)
Don’t shield your eyes now
The art has just begun to spread
The sirens are loud, and the colors are bright
The warmth that you tried to extinguish lives.
Don’t shield your eyes,
Don’t shield them now.
Look at the ashes that dance in the air,
Look at our smiles,
Puke at our freedoms
While we’re drunk off your despair.
Don’t close your eyes,
Your pain is my drug.
I want to feel intoxicated again.
Feed me your lies,...

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.

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...
