You seem tired.
Tired of the same old things.
Tired of the way every night ends
Tired of the way every morning begins.
Is it because of me?
Or is it because of me?
I use to be spontaneous.
You ever wonder why?
You ever think to back track and wonder why I seem so blue? So stagnet? So meh?
No?
Maybe it’s because you’re not the only one who longs for creativity to.

Stars
So many!
opened the sky above the ocean
A map
of night's heaven held
with the tailings of day

...and the pink moon

with the toys
left by spring peepers
was playing in the dark woods
across the road

waiting for its mother
I wash the brain with peace,
Synapse to sleepy synapse.
Themes may change from day to day,
The mind and will working that way.  Today,
It’s peace – a motif that I never ‘got’.
I’m one step nearer, sensing it.
Behavior freer, talk a bit…
I’m more polite, considerate.
Something’s taking ‘way the ****
That usually rolls around as chaos;
Something near to paradise’s
Innermost best aspect peace, is
Uppermost. I use this basis
For my practice,
Imaging, imagining, examining,
Pretending, willing…
All that matters is the stilling
Followed by activity that does some good.
(What I wish is that it would).
Meanwhile, I am smiling more and more.
This ‘peace wash’ must be working.

Washing Over /My Newest Trick) 2.23.2018 The Processes: Creative, Thinking, Meditative II; Revelations Big & Small; Arlene Nover Corwin
Two souls sundered
while coming to life:
formed as two bodies.
created as Twin Flames.
yet drifted apart,
still destined to meet.

Longing always:
feeling the torment
of separation.  
Getting weaker
in time and distance.
Each passing second
incomplete without
the precious  Other.

Like a missing
piece of a puzzle
finally in place.
We meet
We merge
into One.
At last again
united - Forever

This is the Sun.
Bright enough
to keep you alive.
Bright enough
To give you skin cancer.
kinder spirit
always looking for the best in people
and situations.
looking at options many seem to ignore
choosing to blame all involved parties and not just the easier one.

kinder spirit
who said that your mindset will be the end of you
who said that you can only be normal thinking like every body else.

kinder spirit.
stay kind.
normal is a crowded space
The summer of 2014, tattoo ink dripping blood to hardwood floor,
I step into the ghost of a boy racing chemicals all the way to sunset, and come out the other side screaming like hell,
All black, car crash, funeral heart beating reverie, strung out valentines on parade,
Satan speeds up on the turnpike, god is a railway car bound full tilt to supernova,
Any moment the scales can tip, delicate balance shift, dialectical relationships unwound over radio static elegies,
They started lacing the **** and by March the death became a riot, a language of communion and massacre, we’re out here unlearning existing, violence as a door swinging off its hinges, step over the threshold, into unending longing

Moments of silence, calm repose and anticipation, breaking down by numbers,

Playing phantoms in the vampire castle, communing with the dead, shamans of infinite space and void, through the sunroof my disintegrating acid eyes observe the fire of heaven, heavenly bodies falling, I remember saying something like, the trajectory has come, we might as well draw futures from the ashes,

I’m getting ****** up off memory, the fragility of experience, it has been one Armageddon after another since we split the atom in our stuttering tongues,
Like the gleaming teeth of empires, like the dope sick fever state,
Weaponize history, and learn to get higher with less
Rotting meat lined the walls
of the spot where the crime was committed
Locked from the outside
Shut in as the oil burned,
the smoke engulfing,
the flames consuming the people as they screamed, "Let me out"
but the indentations of the footprints on the door spoke loudest
They spoke of 25 beautiful faces
lost in pursuit of the American Dream.®
