Carry Me Back Home
Memories fade like seasons
Slowly losing them all
Holding on for the right reasons
Waiting to receive the call
Spent way too many years
Chasing down every ghost
Struggling against my fears
Wondering who I’ll miss most
Life is difficult to survive
Crawling towards the light
When the show goes live
Under the cover of night
In the midst of great strife
The beast will fall like Rome
Dear lord who gave me life
Please carry me back home
Slowly losing them all
Holding on for the right reasons
Waiting to receive the call
Spent way too many years
Chasing down every ghost
Struggling against my fears
Wondering who I’ll miss most
Life is difficult to survive
Crawling towards the light
When the show goes live
Under the cover of night
In the midst of great strife
The beast will fall like Rome
Dear lord who gave me life
Please carry me back home

The way you're going
Your parents have an issue and you live in constant pain
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same

home
gathering myself, I consider my life
twisted and barren in places
disturbed by crazy thoughts, in others
dreaming wildly and reaching for starlight
winding my way through the haze
struggling to find my voice, through anxieties hold
falling into oblivion, to find my way home again
natural epiphaines and stoned out of my gourd
the heights so impossible, the lows devestating
taking risks and laying low
loved by the masses, to having no one to care at all
an interesting ride to be sure
wisdom gathered, thoughts...

This Life
In spite of all the danger
Pray to the Heaven's above
Packed in life's container
What's the meaning of?
Applause the final curtain
Taking your final puff
Spectators serving sermons
All in the name of love
Pray to the Heaven's above
Packed in life's container
What's the meaning of?
Applause the final curtain
Taking your final puff
Spectators serving sermons
All in the name of love

Ofrenda
My father’s ashes sit on my sister’s windowsill
Along with other family members overlooking the yard
And whenever I visit on festive occasions
I make sure I have a drink
With a slight nod and toast to him
In honor of his memory
So I think…
Maybe when my time comes
And my kids and grandkids put my picture out
I’d want them to remember our times
As they read some of my poetry
Giggling while reading them rhymes
Then I’ll come across the bridge
Smelling the food and hearing them laugh
And I’ll say - laugh because...
Along with other family members overlooking the yard

NATURISM MAKES A PRISM,
Naturism
makes a prism
through which to see
the nudity
of the body,
as not dirty
but quite worthy
in harmony
with creation.
Inspiration -
appreciate
God did create
first humans nudd,
saw "very good" *
in what He made
and thus displayed
in the garden
of his Eden.
* "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female...God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.....The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame." -...

Sacred Dust
In moonlight’s glow
and shadows grey
wafting incense
and cleansing sage
a coarsen circle of salt
seals shut the gate
A potion of spells
begins to take hold
a Life-force of energy
emanating Love
Transcendental planets
begin to align—
Uranus, Neptune
and Pluto by design
The binds of ancient portals
release their sacred lock
Spirits of our Ancestors
beyond the veil come forth
Incandescent bodies of light
illuminate the hour
Ashes of Earth begin to rise ...
and shadows grey
wafting incense
and cleansing sage
a coarsen circle of salt
seals shut the gate

Incandescent bodies of light

We have so much to lose
We will always have a choice to choose, what we need and want to have in our lives, with a relationship between the lines of uncertainties. For sure we will never know, how things will go down the road of trails and tribulations.
THROUGH this life with the challenges, that could make us or break us up and destroy, the deepness of the truth of the foundation. Built from steel and stones, and the deepness of the love that we shall share, for we have a history together as woman to man and man to woman. For sure let's ask thyself what was the point for do we really want and need, that kind...

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...

Adjusting The Dial (collab with adagio)
The gossipers of the clouds
rain down dark's cacophony
Leaving me alone; covered in agony
neath the veil of twilight's shroud
Adjusting the dial to a new sound.
Listening to narcissistic gossipers pound
cued in amongst the symphony.
Agnostics and mannequins confound
as indecent as they are proud
Like a two-toed sloth of the epiphany
Inside the mockery of their frown
wound among the gossipers in infamy
A loneliness intensified by the clouds
buried in a salinity of dark infinity
A promise to search...
rain down dark's cacophony
Leaving me alone; covered in agony
neath the veil of twilight's shroud
Adjusting the dial to a new sound.
Listening to narcissistic gossipers pound
cued in amongst the symphony.
Agnostics and mannequins confound
as indecent as they are proud
Like a two-toed sloth of the epiphany
Inside the mockery of their frown
wound among the gossipers in infamy
A loneliness intensified by the clouds
buried in a salinity of dark infinity
A promise to search...

I. Ishvara
my beloved one
will you carry me
help me surrender
to this life's destiny
what is this existence
is it simply a daydream
the phantasy of a seraph
the shadow of the rainbow
the inkling and the twinkling
in the blink of an all seeing eye
will you remain a mysterious why
reveal yourself and lead me, please
retrace the course back to its source
to end in innocence and divine peace
help me remember the beauty of life
help me surrender to the unknown
guide...
