The soft angelic song drifts thru the streets

Thru the angry people
( The greed the fear the lies  )

and is heard by the soft angelic child

//://

It is no good here you know
Ain't been good for a long long time

But we are good
And shall remain so for all time

/////

The soft angelic song comes to guide us
Back to the fertile scenery

The Covenanted Passageway to the sacred source
Of all creating Power and Grace

To the eternal fountain
The pure holiness

The fragrant waters of Dream

The seed held in the hand of the Supreme
Lover

The tree of loveliness of
Which we are fruit and flower

/:/

Child

It' s your time / this very hour

Let us truly be together

Let us heal each other and the world

:/:

The soft angel

Drifts thru the fiery city street

And personally

Taps you on the shoulder

//

A simple reminder

That he is here

How would things
Be different
If the tectonic plates
Were stable.
Would the world
Be closer?

If the Great Comet hadn't
Smashed our world,
Would the primordial cesspool
Bubble?

Time has told us:
Well, I'm all ears now.
How would my world be
If I hadn't shifted and crashed?
Time won't tell.

For many centuries we have wandered
Waiting for the answers we seek
We may have faltered
In not asking the right questions
Treading over the bridges of human bonding
We have come this far
Where shall this path lead us?
Or, we may be heading towards a cul-de-sac
Heading towards a collision with our reality
Not meaningful enough
Waylaid till now, with many distractions
Of all we know
We may have been seeking the wrong
Do we have the faintest idea
What we have lived for, till now?

There is no spirit in spirit,
   as there are no drops in the
                                                   ocean,
                                             one body.

     Only in the turbulence do we see
          the ghosts, phantom shapes
             of separation.
              (Kami sparks from the Fae fire)
    In those shadows cast from the
  splash, (wave of the I, the Id swimming)
are them born of a name.

     Here, I find myself in form,
              in a constant change and decay,
              a flame mapped shade
               on the mirror walls of consciousness,
        in the fade, eternal emptiness
               of the endless breath i'll never catch..

                      and again inhaling.

The whole universe as a giant wheel
Where events take place
A roller coaster tour, we are in
Unknowingly, events repeat themselves
In different form and through different avatars
Same time, in a loop
Wants us to believe, we are moving forward
Time is the most efficient illusionist
Taking a siege of our minds
For we believe, what we are allowed to
Hallucination becomes reality
Players are we, moving according to a game plan
Not aware of the grand design
And the intricacies of the networks and links
Caught between the networked world
When reality is a faraway dream
Not many of us will be successful to break away
To live away from the constraints
Finding the truth comes with renouncing
The illusion has a bind on us
Till we break the mirrors of irrationality
Time and again, we are reminded
A vision that comes rarely
To look within the self
For the truth is waiting to be revealed

I thrive on liking.
If there's nothing to enjoy
In things, I ignore them.
Move on.

Where do you get your
Energy
? they ask,
Weary from disliking.

This *****. He's a ****.
This band is terrible.
Surrealism is too unrealistic.
There are no happy endings.

It'll all break down into pieces of
Broken love, burning.  
It always does.
He'll let me down in
The end.
They always do.


If so,
Ignore your losses.
To live a lot, you have to
Hurt a lot.
Move on.

Enjoy more of it next time.
Appreciate. Open yourself.
You'll like more.
You'll hurt less.
You'll love the movement
Of Life dancing
With the
Living.

I
I am everything
And I am nothing.
I am big
And I am small.
I am frightened
And I am brave.
I am empty
And I am whole.
I am happy
And I am sad.
I am strong
And I am weak.
I am lonely
And I am fulfilled.
I am optimistic
And I am cynical.
I am hopeless
And I am hopeful.
I am right
And I am wrong.
I am selfless
And I am selfish.
I am lost
And I am found.

I am ironic.
I am not quite psychotic.
I am oxymoronic.

I am me.

I love my life.
All of it.
Every time the sun warms or
Burns; the rain soothes, or
Stings with angry ice; barrel-hot
Buckshot, I
Thank. Thank for the
Weather.
I love my life.
All of it.

It's an art.
All of it.
Every time the axe rests above
Your neck mid-air,
Wink at the masked one
Holding the handle.
Thank. Thank for the
Swift awakening
Awaiting.
Add years to your dreaming.

It's an art.
All of it.

I love you, poet.
All that is you.
You hold an opposing answer
In each hand, commanding
The chooser to hold
Your gaze and keep
Asking.
The best readings rest between
Every line drawn.

I love you, poet.
It's an art. All that
Is you. **** well
All of it.

Sleep safe.
Add years to your
Dreaming.

Simpleton
She resided in smiles that were her strength
And wore love like protection
She spoke to heartbeats
In the language of dreams
Her eyes reached silences that dealt in prayers
She is whom poets borrow their words from

She dreamt of sunken people who spoke of hope
And iron hearts who bled empathy
Hunger that fed on peace
War which longed to unite with life
Immortal ethics set in practice
Children who never escaped childhood
Flowers that refused to die
And love which was incapable of lies
She dreamt of dreams coming true
But awoke to a full blown strife
Still she believed with all her might

You see people
in great works of literature
comparing love
to fire.

We are the smoke,
that rises above the flame
in a plume that ravages a perfect sky
with clouds of ash,
and the scent of burning.

We disintegrate,
spreading into the atmosphere.
So many particles of us scatter,
that no one knows
where we start and where we begin.
We are one,
and we span across the sky,
so fused in our many parts that
we can never be separate entities again.

I was in town a couple weeks back,
And I ended up striking a conversation
With the lady on the wall.

"You going to meet up with someone, miss?"

"Oh, yes. I am."

She smiled at me,
While she tilted her head as if she were examining me like something familiar she has already seen, and says,
"Remember that he is not love, he is a man. You are a woman, and you are not love to him. Between you two, there is love. There is a difference. Remember this, sweetheart."
