Incense of Insomnia
With the incense of insomnia caffeine
and scorpion grasses of forget-me-nots
listening to the waters of Ticonderoga
and the bones cracking in my sacroiliac
regarding caffe latte tuit suite l'amande

Blank Page
Blank Page what do you do with a blank page?
Fools journey, I couldn’t move, crawled untill I could walk
Now I am walking at a steady pace
Not chasing just simply letting what is meant for me
Find me
My deep inner world will soon spill out onto this blank canvas
Beauty in this unseen world
Creating something brand new
You don’t know until you know
Boredom something powerful indeed
Darkness where all things are created
Let it grow a seed in the dark
Water it everyday
One day one day
Until then feel the darkness...
Fools journey, I couldn’t move, crawled untill I could walk
Now I am walking at a steady pace
Not chasing just simply letting what is meant for me
Find me
My deep inner world will soon spill out onto this blank canvas
Beauty in this unseen world
Creating something brand new
You don’t know until you know
Boredom something powerful indeed
Darkness where all things are created
Let it grow a seed in the dark
Water it everyday
One day one day
Until then feel the darkness...

Poetry and Silence
Its always the quiet dead silence that captivates me
In a sea where my imagination takes flight
The feelings of ecstasy that comes from pure beautiful creations
Music to my ears of beautiful words of poetry
Or sometimes just the dead silence
Something in me needs healing
A irritation a itch that’s not easy to scratch
Possibly maybe this is my key to that itch
I don’t know well see
If writing my inner deep world may just be the ticket here
When life seems bland and people know exactly how to get under your skin
Anger boils and...

Hallowed Seeds
Whispering winds over hallowed seeds
and silken graves in waves of grass
as if tides of haunting deep
in gowns of crystal snow
of eternal reeds
and silken graves in waves of grass
as if tides of haunting deep
in gowns of crystal snow

Hello
God
We're told you love us
but clearly not us all,and
for that reason and that reason alone
I find it hard to accept your existence.
It's just beyond my senses to
believe you would willingly sit by
watching people suffer
watching people die.
Tough love from a tough God.
If humans have humanity
what is it that you have
Godmanity?
Churches,cathedrals, politicians,
nasty humans spruiking your name
praying to you at night
dropping bombs in the morning
they seem to survive alright.
...

I'll leave it up to you
I practice letting go
Give my brain lots of breaks
I'll leave it up to you
You know all my mistakes
I don't know who you are
But you know who I am
You are my guiding star
The way out of quicksand
The church describes you one way
But I like my own better
I like to think you are like me
Trying to steer through stormy weather
You know all in my heart
The one that I call god
The endless mistery
Trusting will set me free
So wherever I go
And whatever I do
My refuge is my faith

the Tao
Horton got it right
We are a mere speck
Of a speck
Of a speck, et cetera
We can’t begin to fathom
Why we can’t fathom
What we can’t fathom
A million miles up there
Does not even begin
To touch the surface
Of the surface
The sun and the moon
Barely (in)significant
In its course
No comparison, immeasurable
There are no boundary lines
It does not break nor bend
There is no pre-emptive design
There is no end
You have no answers
There is no end
We are a mere speck
Of a speck
Of a speck, et cetera
We can’t begin to fathom
Why we can’t fathom
What we can’t fathom
A million miles up there
Does not even begin
To touch the surface
Of the surface
The sun and the moon
Barely (in)significant
In its course
No comparison, immeasurable
There are no boundary lines
It does not break nor bend
There is no pre-emptive design
There is no end
You have no answers
There is no end

Eternity is a long time.
I hope there is no afterlife
At least none that lasts forever
Which is silly in itself as time is a human construct and so is forever and infinity.
First digression....damn I'll try and stay on topic.
I hope there is no afterlife
Where we get to spend forever with those we love.
Which is silly in itself as love is also a human construct .
Second digression....damn I'll try and stay on topic.
Three digressions and I'm out.
Some fabulous people I've met in my life.
Not least of them being...

Night & Day
Blank canvas darkness
That night inspiration
Nocturnal aesthetic offers
Glowing in moonscape transpose
A moment here disposed
Fallen shadow contrast
Light shed gravity
Anticipated still
Silent reflection
Through fading position
Dimensional ether
Like diametric angles
Stars in the sky
Symmetry supposed
The pale white dance
Whence dawn returns
Over time's horizon
With wondrous synergy
Observant equilibrium
Attempting balance
Vibrance opens
Radiant...

Oxygen
Will your last breath be an exhale that just continues on until all air is gone?
Can it be anything else?
No more inhales.
No more anything.
No more you.
You never existed in the first place.
You were just an imagining in consciousness.
Things only touched a convention , never you.
You can't be touched physically.
Because you don't exist physically.
You're just attached to something created by contact with something else.

Cloth of Woven Threads
Tapestry in verses of souls unraveling metaphors
gathering the cloth of woven threads within
revealed in the shadows of the spiritual host
with the chatoyant eyes of evendentry
from the crypt of the lace and garter
of the love-fraught gaze whispering
in all its manifestations of the human condition
gathering the cloth of woven threads within
gathering the cloth of woven threads within
revealed in the shadows of the spiritual host
with the chatoyant eyes of evendentry
from the crypt of the lace and garter
of the love-fraught gaze whispering
in all its manifestations of the human condition
gathering the cloth of woven threads within
