sentient powers stake their claim
in soil that remains dutiful
despite your shame
have we gone insane
its quite likely
or are we still the same
that remains to be questioned
better to drop this game
and stay focused upon
your vision quest intensely

the criminal element is lost
have you fought with your boss
each day is fraught with challenges
but that's what makes you stronger
all along the water's edge
the waves break and connect
like threads of poetry
lines of beauty
curving at the moon
luminous intrusions
before we are fallen
dreams seethe
with colorful landscapes
and i am a blade of grass

threads of astral fire
aspire for the sun
my magic is beyond recognition
it ignites the silence
and burns bright as day
words are living
breathing entities
families of sounds
consonants and vowels
are relatively harmless
unless you dare
to speak them out loud
control your tone
and let aspiration resonate
this assonance is rather transient
so lets embrace our scansion
mansions of impermanence
lands of intransigent transients
its tragic really
how the lead of vehemence
can spread so rapidly

sentient powers stake their claim
in soil that remains dutiful
despite your shame
have we gone insane
its quite likely
or are we still the same
that remains to be questioned
better to drop this game
and keep up your crazy vision quest

i am branded again
saddened by the cruelty of men
women argue and children fight
life is boring and then we write
combine metaphor with shame
grief has no name
but a thousand faces
candid as the dawn
how i long for your touch
a last ****** before its gone
will you return
or will i be banished for my sins
best not to wait and see
instead i must learn to trust
explicitly in infinity
are we eager to be done
or are you just beginning
lips quake as i bow to you
my heart shakes and trembles like a leaf
the temples wait and remind us of simplicity
are our minds as tranquil as a lake
now we reside in peaceful quiet
and sense the edges of the wild
lines are changed and bodies rearranged daily
and have you come into your power lately

plant a seed and watch it blossom
send a letter and watch it sprout
give a gift and take your bow
last night i dreamed you were in my bed
and now i am left waiting
for the edge of your love to cut me

lets turn around
and make sounds at the shadows
i drift upon love’s smokey tendrils
why can’t we garden in the winter
for love’s heart is too tender
her fingers bend and spiral
i am an eagle
and you are desire’s virtuous neglect
you remind me to breathe
for now i seek to reach you
and not teach you anything
ever again

fate is a *****...
but she’ll see you through to the end
i see masked women held imprisoned
i see old men so tired that they become villains
to escape the treachery and slavery of existence
persistence is overrated
i say escape from your prisons
give up your defenses
and run towards something beautiful
its your duty to drink from waterfalls
and bathe in the sunrise
while spring showers
wash away particles of dust
that are covering up your smile
