I play the same old songs
to hear my guitar ring
they're my friends,
I'm familiar with them

I travelled the world,
though not once
could I step outside
my own skull
Greetings from Lisbon.
IrieSide Apr 11
Become familiar,
with the eternal piece
that exists
within

a fire of ten thousand
suns
your essence
is of infinite
energy

live from it,
feel it,
speak it
forth

an enemy who prowls,
tries to take your light

explode forth,
radiate
as the deepest
galaxy

surrender,
accept,
transform,
actualize,
your highest
presence

The angel sang and said,
I am with you

venture forward,
through the valley
of your own
shadow
IrieSide Jul 12
It's ok to create,
even when the Devil
says you shouldn't

manifest and control,
take the reins
and visualize
your world
let feeling
guide you,
as an intuitive
wind

bring to life,
these seeds of
bliss
and let the sacred
emerge
from the
depths

find this guide,
the one who cares
and grants you
this amazing
gift,
to dream
to be free
and actualize
a life
enviable
by all

angelic auras dance through heaven
as death's dark glance
awakens feeling
tender cold touch
of quickly fading reality
of what hope is there
in disintegration

captivated by poetry
hints of immortality
not in it for the money
or material satisfaction
for that too,
is,
disintegration

oh then where
is peace to hold
please don't pretend
you've found the gold
i've been to church
the temple too
and in them i've found
nothing true

None can live
with fading hope
oh the atheist lies
with life
she can't cope

transcend the planes
life's labels fly away  
lost in mara, or hade's aura
find me here
a head in the clouds
I lost my identity
of fading mist

I met a monk, of Vedic law
I met a Christian who knew it all
I met a man who lived for wealth
and a nun of repressed desire
now here I stand
in non-belonging
though in this place,
i've found...
my real belonging

Life is equally as beautiful
as it is ugly

equally as cold

volcanic memories
of skin tanned sands

I find you fascinating
an americanized

Pull the trigger
  of ***** target
victimized by displays
  of fading fantasy
again, into other realms
of countering thought
what could be, what isn't
   the voice echoes,
here we go, another loss
    a new finding
           of life's
     endless surprises
IrieSide Oct 2023
Reggae is supposed to drop a hint of wisdom,
something pure,
a truth

where is this touch,
where were you
when it vanished?

Keep it going,
these poets of wisdom

share what you find,
and bring life

give it to those in need,
and all who long
IrieSide Apr 10
Time we consider
suffering,
thus we speed
it up

consider this,
a tale from the time
when time is fast,
our attention
ceases

they admit defeat,
how they've lost control
of something so
easy,

slow down time, and
remain present,
let minutes tick by
as eternities
in a black
vacuum

fall within,
and deeper
into a still place
where all that matters
is the awareness
IrieSide Dec 2016
Purple clouds between us
with you across the line
a stressful day becomes
content

Distance,
though your present silence
awakens a gray heart
to love's radiance
IrieSide Mar 5
Left with what's left,
a present realness
that doesn't
require
belief

The music came alive,
and the angels sang
welcome back,
you've been gone
all along

find this place,
some place
of comfort,
dear friend,
life is hard
and you can
find a light

blessed chosen,
you are,
one that will
awaken,
in this
endless
bliss

unravel your mind,
untie its tangles
relax,
and let go

rise into truth,
as truth is
something
painful to share
for it hits home
in the collective
a cracking of the
twilight,
a simple remembrance

time trickles by as an endless
song,
open your eyes,
your ears,
voice
and your heart,
awaken safety,
and the Kundalini
strengthen your roots,
and plant firmly

struggle to find
balance,
between the dark
your dark
and light

rocket and fly by,
all those in misery
those who've forgotten
the Way

step into existence,
and share your wisdom
enliven who you can
and speak life

shine as  ten thousand suns,
and never forget you're loved
rise, and rise again
actualized,
the state you are in
stand firmly,
and stay alive

remember to love,
remember to live,
remember those there for you
even in the deepest of depths
continue forward,
and grow as a Redwood
in the mist
and the shadow
IrieSide Jul 2020
You have seen chaos,
fire,
and have persevered

with lessons etched in time,
your cascading wisdom
nourishes the land

strength in community
and bliss in
stillness

ancient things,
of marvelous
manner
I am forever grateful
for your calling
To the Redwoods

There's something about the
one who stays alone,
separate from most
authentic connection

the Monk in the cave,
a gentle withdrawal
from the collective
buzzing

to find and confront the one,
who was buried away
for so long,

the silent Monk sought
a higher truth,
and into himself
he went
IrieSide Oct 2018

It’s a hero’s journey
a monk robe come heavy

Hey man listen, it’s not at all what you think
There’s so much more you can do and be
The question for you is, why is it that you’ve stopped?
A climber can never quit so close to the peak

An invisible journey, a growth towards the sky
Like a tree in the field, as the sun passes by
Taking each opportunity, to achieve some growth
A relentless being is the tree, who never cries nor hopes

We are merely seeds, in the whole scheme of things
To self actualize is the prize in this divine disguise
For divinity is, the sight through the dark and cloudy
look around, is what you see a beautiful reality?
IrieSide May 2019
Pour my heart,
crack that stale jar
of callous and neglect

show me life, from your eyes
sweet spirit
of love

I sense it in your touch,
your action and tears
you're in tune
and I'm not

teach me,
white angel
how to find my soul

Crack my mind
and pour it out for you
upon a stone table
of cold gray
Sweet notes.

Greetings,

darkly tangles
of twisting emerald death  
into darkness and beyond
this endless maze

we found in fear,
there was no one to hold
our ability for connection
has faded away

I remember,
yes, I remember

I have survived
this babylon
Cancel my transgressions.

Unification through dreaming,
a beautiful enchantment
of a sparkling tale

Make what is known,
the answer to the
inevitable

decide upon the two,
platforms
of decadent
and majestic
flow

detach from the concrete
of a thousand burdens

open your heart,
reclaim the force
of life,
take it back
with all you've
got

climb and claw
as a desperate
wounded
animal
from the pit
that wishes
to pull you
in

take back the essence,
a sacred golden light
of infinite and eternal
peace

glow and ingest
this fruit
IrieSide Apr 2020
snow globe equations
of delicate texture,
smoky white
epiphanies
give pressure
to this delicate
barrier  

shattered into dust
an entity released
upon nature's
stage

born from nothing,
something has become

free myself,
poetry is free
one thing in life
without boundaries
IrieSide Sep 2023
To make sense of the void
components of flux
atomic counterparts
to chaos and structure

invite behind
the intertwined
realities of an ocean
and forest

opened up to further reality
a shifting of frequencies
attuned to new
and holier
places

towards order,
or a ripping apart
of all that is
dissipation of a universe
into a flat and empty
canvas

invoke an era,
the enlightened  refinement
and demanding of
resonance

focus, remember and cultivate
don't forget your mission,
to keep your soul alive
and not dead
IrieSide Feb 2023
It's alright to say no,
as no is
an option
in reality
just as yes

find a flow
some rhythm
of intuition
listen to your guide
she'll lead you
home

grasp this flow
of speaking no
see where it leads,
perhaps somewhere
different
than
yes
IrieSide May 2020
Always remember,
fear is the enemy
reality is as
wholesome
as you perceive it

with true intention,
go forth

don't let them scare you,
remain free

It nourished my garden
this dripping of words
from clouds in thought
and glacier energy
I found my soul

etched in this
sacred poetry
Stay true to yourself. That sacred energy you know is there. Follow it always, and it will guide you home.

The knowledge,
it points to a destination,
what is it that
I am trying to uncover

a common thread,
some hidden meaning
some piece of
truly sacred
knowledge

a blind hope,
and heroic
determination
that is,
unto death
for this
secret
hidden
truth

a pure vibration,
some holy utterance
of deeper truth

for meaning,
for weight,
for actuality
a duality
between
vibration
and
matter

It's there, right here
said the angel
IrieSide Dec 2016
Taste your future
on a sample platter

delicate whispers

Intentional space
IrieSide Jan 2017
Suit and tie
or gold stacked high
dreams cast out
take root
for a few

agreed upon reality
of desired traits
inhibit the minds
of never divine
mental states

stay true to yourself,
rebel
I'll stand with you

challenge your planet
with constructs of mind
shape it, form it
and for you,
the earth shall rise
In a world where poetry has a voice.

A breeze of non-belonging
guiding her sails
to a destination
which has no map

The wood creaks
as the ship ages

middle of the ocean
a broken compass
no hint of salvation

with each new storm
her hope fades
with the worn sail

a hit of rejection
a taste of loss
a continuous reminder

of that old familiar pain

now all she does is watch
trusting that the ocean’s currents
will carry the ship to an island

where life will be waiting
A feeling of non-belonging.
IrieSide Nov 2022
A ghost became a sheet
empty in soul
carried away
by the calm breeze  

Corrupted by righteousness
dying to life
and living for transition

God in your pocket,
a small egg when paid attention
a great boulder when ignored

Permission to stand with the greats
evaporated with heat
a garden desert
with blossoms once filled
now made empty
as it was
IrieSide Apr 2020
Innocence
burns as fire
which my fuzzy mind
must protect

lucidity in error
as time commences
forth

memory and guilt
with each ****
I've felt
shaking to my core
with violent
syllables

To reflect on error
prevents growth,
and a direction
away from growth
is a straight shot
towards
death

enlighten me,
oh spirit
with your clarity
and white fire

trickling soliloquy's
of a thousand suns

Persistent delving
into the mystery

an everpresent dose,
of ecstasy
this taste
and recognition
of hidden
meaning

reality,
the recognition
and awakening

the presence and stillness
of all that
Is

find your ground
and witness this mystery
in the present
and everlasting
moment

Awaken,
awaken,

to this meaningless
place
where laws seem to
hold it
together
yet the laws
are of the same
essence

unveil some energy
this uncovering
of vibration
IrieSide May 2023
I met a figure
of darkened glamor
he told me to look
inward

the introvert
has a power
the silent
observer

treasures present themselves
and reveal
their shining
location

mapped out
and planned
a trajectory
well
calculated

find this energy
of peaceable
conscious
and take heart
when the music
stops

the precipice
of genesis
a growth
into
new
creation
and more channeled
vibration
IrieSide Nov 2022
For in 30,
is not seeking,
rather the time
to put into play
all that was
collected

time drips by
effectively,
though in each stage
a new offering

a new time to become,
a new stage of growth
a new character

step into bliss,
in eternal wander
found here this
new reality
of endearing
opposites
IrieSide Oct 4
hurricane power within
written word,
a craft overseen by
most when
the word
was
the beginning

crafted into precision,
an exponential effect
upon the coding
of the very fabric
of the mind

neglected to see,
which supreme power
the humble verse
has

find a rhythm in communication,
and touch upon the puppet strings
of all reality

come into the depths,
and dive into the blackness
to discover the purest
light

uncover this magic,
at its purest form
dance in time
to the sacred
discovery
