Uncovered
Kenshō Oct 2014
Vast unknown vistas,
Take me to where my dream's dwell.

Rolling prairies and shaded groves!
Where the warm flowers welcome me home.

Frolic and joy paint my expression
Of this dream, elusive!

~~~~

Stepping softly, I wish to find
An iron passage of ancient time!

Here I can go forth into fantasy,
enormous and sincere!

Lean the trees of old
Magic and lore they ever behold!

Lord I wish to find
A dream of Elven-kind!

Where the wind speaks
whispered fables of yore!

Oh, how you flush me with flutters!
What is beyond that rolling hill..
Venture forth, I must!

Heavy
Kenshō Oct 2014
They dart with illusioned purpose,
I alone, am distant and far.

They speak on trivial affairs,
I alone, speak not of the obvious.

They delude intelligence,
I alone, can say no more.

What it is I feel,
Never could be construed.

I can offer no consolation
for those tied and unwilling.

This blind expansion of
unnamable multiverse
weighs heavy, might I say.

Last Words
Kenshō Oct 2014
The vapors of desperation had crawled;
Fog snakes curling his body's form.
Stood half teetering along the edge
Of an unfamiliar precipice containing
What he knew not.

He had carried his medicine pack,
Heavy, a prison held on his back.
What was the use of sending a note
Caught on the air of the winds
Bounding from that deep crevice!

Would Gods and Demons meet him
In his pathetic descent?
'Let them join me!',
Suicidal, he said.

Taking his last short step
down...down...

And maybe..

He thought of the connections with people
Hard to ever make. Hidden in his mind.
It wouldn't be fair to take someone with him.
To share what had been stolen and ripped.
Oh, what a poor, poor soul.

He jumped after few sad thoughts taunted him.

Crest & Trough
Kenshō Oct 2014
On that shore I sat melancholy and sad.
Thinking about what the wave had taken away,
About what it might bring and what I had.

Sudden emotion rushed like wind.
Overhead that moon lit lantern,
Translating my message to send.

Oh, what a shame to try
To bring you here by my side.
In meaning, over this ocean perhaps you could fly.

To my lonely abiding shore
and sing songs of magic together
a fantasy sheathed in lore.

But now the ink runs low
and the winds of my heart move slow
what I have left had been taken by that ocean wave flow.

If I could send
a slice of my soul etched
with this feather pen,

Perhaps I could meet
this angel I seek.
Siting in reality alone, cold and bleak.

Passing Day Alone Pt 1
Kenshō Oct 2014
The sun went down today
with no passing thought.

Day of birth signifies nothing
when no one is around.

Humans do not wander around my home.

But the waking birds sing songs of my birth,
everyday alone.

Stories From The Dark
Kenshō Oct 2014
Alone, standing among the ***** grave fields,
a crystal cylinder, Tower of the Tortured,
aspiring towards the void.

Marred bars circulate the Tower's depth.
The walls of torture outlined and gave
deathly void substance.

Diamond souls refracted empty light.
The hollowed trees crawl their roots,
interlacing life and death.

Hovering, creeping downward, they
swayed suspended. Among the hung
and through the trails poised one.

Emanating empty vibration with no substance to grasp..

Crumpled story sheets rested upon a shore,
lost in oscillation. Stumbling entities
unknown to light, covered marsh black,
and layered in blight.

Rest their starred eyes once in infinite time
upon an alien language. Retrieved and returned
to the pillar of slime.

Fading ash whispers off into the night.
No one lived in that tower but the
Crystal King of Death himself, Soldier of Fallen Light.
October is Halloween month!! <3

Star of Gas
Kenshō Sep 2014
That Ghastly Star,
Leagues away stretched
Unique in sky, hovering etched.

Haze of gas
Infested by bacilli
Shrouded by countless specks.


Dull and Dying,
Consumed by time, hollowed by bore;
That blustering light shone no more.

Prayer
Kenshō Sep 2014
How could I formulate these hieroglyphics?
My mind is of the void - Never following form.
Mind like an eccentric, Soul like a vagrant!
I pass idle through your ruinous cities..
Stories of old, from the mountain told.
I don't expect you to understand..
I don't understand the future you expect.

Acceptance of the outsider is called expansion.

I have a temple outside of the town-
The grass bows down to the wind;
While the trees tell washing songs of old!
¡Junipers and butterflies, glitter oceans, infinite skies!
This is my last solemn prayer to this world of magic.
not even sure for a name.

Teetering: Left and Right
Moving forward - Fear and Fright
How courageous innocence can be,
How much of a visionary
A blind man can be.


Wobble this way
Up to the drunk mountain.
Where you can regain your humanity.
Separate from the race
Of rats.

I don't want who you think you are.
I don't want your title and car.
Truly, I just want what is inside your idea of you.
I want to remind you of what we can be.

When the sun is crescent curved around the earth beneath our feet.
And the dreaming stars come out to play,
I want to wish that you can join me

Black Crystal Sands
Kenshō Sep 2014
To the black crystal sands,
She bound me by indenture.

Those eyes that hypnotize-
Said to siphon souls.

Forever, I sit caught,
Gazing empty - solid like stone.

Evermore, she slithers there;
Said to spellbind, her blood blinding stare.

If you appear in the ebony crystal dunes,
Know that her rounds are met with the full cresting moons!

Righteousness
Kenshō Sep 2014
The man who tries to prove a point is unsure of how sharp it is.
The man who comes to war with blunt weapons is confident in his own strength.

The man who comes with armor falls heavy into his own grave.
The man who comes naked is sure he will return unscathed.

But, not every warrior is the same;
And, no war can be fought in the shadow of divine aim.

In A Mental State
Kenshō Sep 2014
Chain me down if you will,
Bind me with false freedom.
Go ahead, cheat and call it skill.
Drive me out from my own inner kingdom;
But, you will never drive out my will.

Muscular strain bulging at mental chains.
Glitter through the Elven Gates,
Return to an inner child-like state.
Bounding limitless in God's sky-lake.

How could I compress
translate, much less express
How one single mode of thought
Could release you from the illusion
          in which you are caught.

Never let your self be bound
by who are scared to go beyond;
Who think that their way is
the only way that has been found.

Rainbow Dream
Kenshō Sep 2014
Beyond the crown of clouds
darts the Rainbow Serpent
covered in shroud.

Where the magik is mundane,
world like a jewel of wonder,
the Wizard's otherworldly plane.

Dashing and spinning
through the blossoms of morning awe
A stunning Rainbow serpent, I had saw.

Visions of a madman
condemned to misunderstandings.
Am I the last of the people who dream in color?

The Funeral of a Peoples
Kenshō Sep 2014
The reluctant rain
and the desperate wind
held a funeral service
that day.

The clouds held
like hands
Over the skies dimmed face,
Tempting the thunder gods.

An ebony hawk
oscillated its bill
over the reserved Sauk Land.
Seizing life like gold.

Tomorrow is the Middle East
And loot smells of oil tar seized.
Beware the Pirate Tribe
enslaving the Seven Seas.

Now
Deciphering coded blight,
I release through this mic.

Built with mind and is always mine;
I build my palace outside of time.

Stumbled paths find their way,
To the golden palace today.

I can coo of golden angels
Fly with the fairies and dive with devils.

All of life's mountain reaches,
and all of its perils.

Reside between, a moment seen.
Of what is, could be and has been.

A time where food was for eating;
Thus, no hunger, nor over eating.
A time where clothes were for warmth;
Thus, no cold, no glamour.
A time where night did not sheath criminals;
Thus, dreams were merrily spoken.
A time where humanity was whole;
Thus, no discrimination.
A moment where time didn't exist;
Thus, no one sweated being late.

Time came and it went..

Sketch
Kenshō Sep 2014
So there once was a wise man who said,
"A man's reality cannot be perceived beyond
the confines and restrictions of his own ability to think."
No matter what color you are, what language is spoken,
there is a harmony that is needed.
And spoken in ALL LANGUAGES that is an
eternal truth.
Now to say this is a man or woman
tapping into something beyond him/her self
is paradoxical because the outside is the self.
And when it is all one there is one thing needed;
And that, my friend, is harmony.

~

Silent Tone

When all chaos is settled, there is the ability to think.
In that ability and voice, all truths are spoken.
And that truth is emptiness - being alone but all one.
A single mechanism breathing it's gears to create
what surrounds you.
But that is behind the scenes and there is
a show outside.

The Faceless King

Who stands idle at my door?
Nay, is it thee? The Faceless King?
Weeping sorrow songs of passing pain,

Disclosing that a life in shadows weighs more than a moment of death in vain.

Forgive Me
Kenshō Sep 2014
Sitting like every moment is the first one,
The ineffable center of the spokes of time.
The air that was of magic, that contained no chemical names-
Clothed me in childlike nature, and spoke to me in riddles and games.
The wonderful, glittery .. Cancer filled, jittery.
What is this cycle of anonymous names,
amongst what have I been born?
Cubical jobs and mechanical rich snobs.
Look: We contain something within us..
-Of it I could not speak-
But climb to the wilderness mountain like the rest of them did..
Behold my brothers and sisters the divine mountain still speaks!
I come in peace. Do not offend.

Divine Story Tale
Kenshō Sep 2014
Legends ago, a story told by thee:
Secret whispering melody of an old wispy tree.
Planted ages past, a singular lordly seed.
Containing all extending branches of what your eyes see.

Round the bend the hidden grove,
Over the hill the beach line cove;
All of my scattered temples.
Oh the land there is to roam.

As I pass, you see me walk alone.
As if I'm almost not all there..
Its because I am busy everywhere
Exploring my forgotten home!

Crawling Haunt
Kenshō Aug 2014
Could it ever be told again?
The endless stories of a city torn down.
Repeating a story of love and pain.
Multiples of slaves but one single crown.
Pictures of hypocritical angels on glass were stained.
Barely seeing through, a single boy with no name.

Screaming to who could hear.
The crumbled ruins below it all.
Silent, for the whole of the world, a single tear.
Ancient chasms he did crawl.
Seeing the past and what it did bear.
Something human with the name of God, yet chanting a Devil's prayer.

The moment could be called an illusion.
And the clock did conceal.
An opportunity for light given once;
But by a machine it did steal.
Infinite passages in all directions, broken clocks on walls.
And a phantasmal smile for the eternal Devil's deal.

The Demons were alive and still did crawl.

Illusions of the Mind
Kenshō Aug 2014
Independence is an illusion.
Dependence implies that some thing else must be independent.
¡Throw both of these words out!
Interdependence is the nature of reality.

Progression is one sided.
A ball moving through space must have a point of relativity.
If you can understand relativity: forwards and backwards are the same thing.
Relative reality is one sided, reality isn't.

Life and death are an illusion.
A line drawn by the mind of a fearful human.
After you die, which is inevitable,
You will feed the unity of life.

Keep these three truths close to you
And you can truly know freedom
from the illusions
of the human mind.

Collective Measure
Kenshō Aug 2014
Collective ant colonies construct
Extended power projected towards the stomping elephants.
Trembling troubling sounds break and pierce ear drums as something powerful is overthrown

Were you connected with timid purity or corrupted insecurities?
Controlling others and yearning for trickling gold or Spread love and know the truth is the same as what is told..

See behind closed eye lids where you see the universe is mind made.
Hearing and seeing truth not budging your view till it fades.

Alarms flare red walls as the boy awakens, seeing the city in flames.
Creaks of wooden floors as he makes his way outside compliments the popping fire sound.

Sirens whine; baby's love is torn by someone dark.
The dog gang is being attacked and the rebound effect is a loud bark.

Poems fighting for something clearly clearer -
Clearly clearer than destructive behavior creating painfully truthful mirrors.

Awakened entrapment. Aware of itself.
Ropes pull snug on the throat of the businessman and the ****.

Locked in a similar dorm.
Fighting cold to stay alive; yet, keeping each other warm..

Dynamic duo, filthy filled perceptions of each other create confusion!
Time alone and silent melodies clean the stained glass of your God's glasses.

So what is it now? The world infused with sound.
Continue down the path till a utopia is found..

Climb closer to heaven + what I think it should be.

That heavenly day can reach you in so many ways.

Mountainous Delusion
Kenshō Aug 2014
When you think you know, that’s you losing it.
When you write this down, that’s you erasing it.
Moments pass empty like the wind.
Oscillations are left.

People fear base oscillation.
They fear the quiet of the world.
If it gets too quiet during the night, we might just slip away.
If you are too loud in the morning, you won’t know what to say.

So the prophet sits alone.
On a mountain top and is shown
A larger picture
Reflecting his own.

Walking towards the mountains are saints
Unified sacrifices are made.
The God’s blood is paid,
As the Devil digs the grave.

Content to sit.
My mind sovereignly drifts.
To the possibility
that
competing you lose;
Like a person
who's shoes
Get torn up from
Trying to buy
new ones
.

I'm not too sure about this yearning and striving.
I'm convinced it lacks, a final destination,
These painful infinite tracks.

Look, I am no one.
And, I am sure I haven't attained it.
But, no; go on, go on.
What if you trained it?
I'm sure you could 'grasp' it.
I'm sure you will 'see',

Around that bend is nothing,
Except the mind of thee.

But when it comes to that
and This passes away,
Hearing what you've heard:
Will you go or stay?


This isn't a triviality,
It's very important, see.
That you grasp the idea
That  what it is you grasp at

-Is like smoke on the water.

I surf the sky, above the city;
I notice the poor and addicts and their pity.
I can see the future from here-
My mind is overwhelmed with thoughts of fear.
The men in black are having a mechanical cheer..

I can walk the path of any persons feelings.
I can see way beneath the banana peeling.
I observe all these people stealing.
We must come together to start the healing.
I know, when you think about it you get that feeling..

Differences are minor in proportion to how we are alike.
It shouldn't matter how fast you ride, we all learned to ride the bike.
It shouldn't matter when you arrived, you had to take the hike..
Now is the time for peace to strike.
For violence and isolation has failed many times.

Dear, Undead King

Broken skin and tattered shields;
Frozen souls wander a fiery battlefield.
One with human senses notices the pain,
Stops to the side and pushes off the dust and grain.
A warlord who is hurt himself is doing this!
I reach with my hand only to have it torn off my limb.
You are a necrotic soul:
Blissfully decaying, alone and cold.
