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

Maelstrom
my storm can't be controlled
it is a wild tsunami of feeling
with the rolling thunder of passion
clouded with doubt
I am a woman in flux
the winds in my valley blow,
across the plains of my frustrations
with an internal lust
sensual in my presentation
my wants and desire peak
brewing with a southernly tempest
hello, I am chaos
it's nice to meet you
a mischievous soul gallivants in my sanctuary
he is my spirit child
born of the need of you
coming together as one on the aether ...
it is a wild tsunami of feeling
with the rolling thunder of passion
clouded with doubt
I am a woman in flux

LOVE OF MY LIFE, I COME
(With apologies to author of the hymn, "O Lamb of God, I come", to whose tune it could also be sung.)
Just as I am, without one plea
For my Adam-like nudity
But warmth of love you have for me,
Love of my life, I come.
Just as I am, without a clout,
What clothes we wore now strewn about.
Desires within now come without.
Love of my life, I come.
Just I am you shall receive
Me, as to each other we cleave.
Your wedding promise I believe,
Love of my life, I come.
Just as I am (the love we own
Has broken...
Just as I am, without one plea
For my Adam-like nudity
But warmth of love you have for me,
Love of my life, I come.
Just as I am, without a clout,
What clothes we wore now strewn about.
Desires within now come without.
Love of my life, I come.
Just I am you shall receive
Me, as to each other we cleave.

Love of my life, I come.

Espalier Divine
A sonnet is a plan akin
To a dream catcher in the night
Apprehending thought process flight,
On its way out, or its way in
Its customary digression;
A traipsing tumbleweed of thought
In dire need of an anchor spot
To prevent its retrogression...
With air brake caesura feathers
To slow mentation's hectic ebbs
Or rhyme scheming spider webs
To snare spirits, in all weathers...
On the circuitous sort of grid
Forever friendly to the id.
To a dream catcher in the night
Apprehending thought process flight,
On its way out, or its way in
Its customary digression;
A traipsing tumbleweed of thought
In dire need of an anchor spot
To prevent its retrogression...
With air brake caesura feathers
To slow mentation's hectic ebbs
Or rhyme scheming spider webs
To snare spirits, in all weathers...
On the circuitous sort of grid
Forever friendly to the id.

giving birth (poetry)
you have
gave birth,
not to
something
new, but
something
old,
you are
the mother,
you are
the father,
each word
is breath,
each line
becomes
age,
now you
place them
out there,
on
their own.

Flags and Symbols
I love feeling the early morning cool breeze,
As I run the nearly empty streets of my town,
But suddenly I begin to feel some kind of fear,
That I’m at risk simply because I’m brown.
At those hours I only see one fellow runner,
I always smile and wave at the kind stranger,
He signs “peace” as he jogs the opposite way,
But then I can’t help feeling that I’m in danger.
The sun is rising, the air is getting warmer,
The music is helping me push through,

The Cross
I die every day, not in body but in soul.
Every dawn brings a new absence,
a void that expands,
swallowing the colors of the world.
I walk through streets empty of emotions,
where faces are masks
and the smiles are empty reflections.
The human touch has been lost
replaced with mechanical gestures.
The heart beats, but does not feel,
eyes see, but do not see.
The mind screams in silence
in an endless search for meaning
in a barren land of non-empathy.
I die every day, being reborn in fragments,
trying...

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

Uncategorized kind of stupidity
"Just a poem in my back mind that wants to free itself,
no grudge , no hatred, just friendship aimed"
live stupid, but leave me " clever "
be stupid, and do it to perfection
leave nothing to wrong interpretation.
cool down, and be stupidly stupid
your lack of manners, of self respect
your irresponsible demeanor is shame..
do it so deep, to unimaginable maximum
then, no one ever would blame thee.
so, you can not hide your true core
Much fake alibis make me heartsore
your honesty is only thing to...
