Splitting Hairs
Hair is there -
[a fixation and fluctuation]
in layers
over
the
Lair
of perception
in layers
of
cares
that capture and caress
the remainder and the rest
of
what
is
There,
and there, there is the innocuous
hidden away things
Hideous
made beauteous
in
this
Plethora of awareness
into studious
Examination -
[Cascades and a caress]
in
Contours
of
streams...

A Night in the Museum
I was attending a meeting
hosting a keynote speaker
whom I did not know
During the presentation
the internet connection was lost
and I found myself sitting
next to the speaker
discussing potential options
for a better connection
A fundraiser was suggested
while he politely asked
if I was a Sociologist
At that time, the host
a gangly old man, obviously
frustrated by our discourse
abruptly blurted out:
"We don't use oracle cards...

Cancer is the will of God
The judge of silence
Destroyer of realms
There's beauty in violence
Like cosmic films
The same story cycled
A desperate plea
Order and chaos
A dying tree
Microscopic armies
conquer the terrain
culture vs culture
eternal pain
Too small to see
Too big to fail
Darkness consumes life
Leaving faces pale
Light from the ashes
Where phoenix rise
While other worlds collapse
wither and dies
Enter the ether of truth and lies,
why value one life,
over another
if...

Softly Stargazing
I have been loving this awakening moment in time
It has taken me so many years to be in heart, mind, body and giving thanks to my soul
To not allow the small occurrence in life to rock my morale
It is best to live in the moment
I listen daily to so many troubled intellects and they scream for peace, serenity of their heart
Endorphins and Adrenaline is the body’s best friend
Such a natural high when both are merged is to calm or a flight in your weakened defense
If everyone would only tap into the resources of its on psychic ...

Sprawled in Summertime Oils
The beautiful regret of whiteness
shallow snow of summer falls, still
Breeze tastes the warmth between her thighs
liminal lovers will come to her tonight, perhaps
Slant of wind splays curtains above the room’s waist
sun’s teeth chatter secrets into her mouth, red
As if the sky wasn’t enough
priapic columns are mere chalk, waiting
An urban concrete contemplation of minds travelling
heaps city blocks upon empty streets, fleeting
Harbour of her eyes are pearled
by sight of artillery fire, distant
...

conversion of light
unfurling my soul I wander
breaking barriers as I go
interesting brokenness
leaving bits of myself along the way
in exchange for soul-to-soul contact
a pneuma of attraction
with eyes that flash and then turn low to a faint glow
awaiting the shadows that light
they are and are not observers of mankind
with pleasant greetings
a salutation is given
Crimsin of shade and light
we see your shine
with glitter of their own, I smile
taking my time to acquaint myself
there are some dwellers...

10 Wondrous Senryu Poems
Lost in Confusion:
Mystery enquired
Paradox alienates
No truth and purpose
Fallen Suddenly:
Thievery question
Fragility foundation
Unstable collapse
Imagined Expanse:
Above atmosphere
Observational below
Connection wondrous
Idolatrous Guess:
The gift of the stars
Deceitful ultimatum
To expect answers
Separate Conscience:
Physics fabricate
Presumably literal
Spirit spatially

we make new names for old Gods
The evening sky blushes through my window
between twilight and darkness we lie, looking out
waiting for the stars through the
leafy silhouettes of palm tress
I try to teach you all the names
of the creeping constellations
but you make up your own
giggling into the deepening sky
We are so small under the burning tendrils of light
and so blessed to see them, and name them at all
between twilight and darkness we lie, looking out
waiting for the stars through the
leafy silhouettes of palm tress
I try to teach you all the names
of the creeping constellations
but you make up your own
giggling into the deepening sky
We are so small under the burning tendrils of light
and so blessed to see them, and name them at all

Reality Is Mind
Reality Is Mind
The function
of the form is
to house
that function.
The form
is its own function.
The CTMU:
The back
of the head
evolved eyes
on its blindside,
knowing exactly
what it would find:
the Self-Directed,
still evolving.
Submitting
to reality
and dominating
our vanities,
we bring
all sides
of ourselves
into inner,
integrated
harmony.

Written In The Stars
fore the Nile flowed from primal spring
Or mountains rose heavenward to sing
Nor yet of stellar dust earth was spun
Before sun and stars had first begun
Before the galaxies first did flare
Still unlaid the compass and the square
When outer darkness claimed this place
When all that was, was a void in space
A singularity's proposed
To explain what no one really knows
So lets ask a question to be fair
How...

Spider Senses a Tingling
14/30
Spider Senses a Tingling
In a fairly large Magellanic Cloud
more light years away than
I have fingers and toes to calculate
who am I not to postulate
a constellation, emulate
my favorite arachnid!
Why not! a Spider Constellation
embedded within a Nebula,
named Tarantula
in the 1750’s?
How do You suppose Explorers
came to the decision of naming?
Was it careless fright upon
a spider’s delight to see
the human fright
in a panic light, tagged
constellation the biggest ...

dunno how you feel
watching a seagull on the beach audibly struggling for breath
and yet otherwise quite still and outwardly calmly awaiting its death ..
and yet otherwise quite still and outwardly calmly awaiting its death ..
