Starry eyed sages
Create circles in my mind
Burned by the bright lights on the stage
Emptiness awaits eternity's grace
The jade serpent rises
Guided by smokeless flames

Food is redeeming so eat your
Fill of this wisdom
Love is slowly toppling
Those towers of power where angels
Fall down and pray
To be dead
We are expecting the rain
To turn red and each
And every Eye to turn
Around in our head
Again and again
Till all is said and done
One month is a very long time
To have to wait for your love

sweltering heat
feet on the pavement
yesterday's lovers
are gone with the raiments
of dresses and gowns
demented clowns
forage in the forest for surface tensions
instant regression
legacies of salvation and solvents somatically
dissolving
i am collapsing time and space
a moment, a face
of distress
and immanence
a destiny of cooperation
a corporeal corporation
the heliosphere is spinning
winning, remaining steady
its harmony saves our lives

inspect your thoughts
like you’d inspect a clock
look for tiny fingers
that hold the secrets
of all the minutes
that have gone
the needle’s edge is the lip of god
her brow is made from honey
with hands tearing at your flesh
immortal life opens the package
and dreams for another eternity

words are lotus blossoms growing in muddy water reaching upward for
your heart now is the bottomless pit pointing towards oblivion repeating
yourself again and again i am never lonely said the powerful goddess
dearest tender soul with golden eyelashes comb my hair with folded
fingers i am the bringer of the harvest fresh fruit impresses the stars to
bursting as celestial songs abound and resound throughout eternity's
garden sri ram jai ram jai jai ram pulsing with yerba the santos sing
drunken Ubuntu if the juries find you guilty green gardenias will
blossom cascading droplets of thyme’s silence the smell of jasmine
flowers shower the dawn am i wrong to admit that i have always loved
you true this moment is just a passing tone on its own insignificant yet
strung together like tea leaves worn around the neck of children to
protect them from broken-hearted sirens use this love wisely for
whoever entrusted you with this warrior’s shield is counting on you to
hold on and yield not to the arms of any man’s brokenness
stubbornness is willful misguidance you are the beauty of a thousand
rainbows repeating the words of god colors shine in empty minded
splendor only for wisdom’s sake you shine new like the dawn and twice
as strong forever laughing at the caterpillar’s folly home is more likely
to be found while you are alone then with another more often than not i
have witnessed the distress of a tigress at seeing her cubs taken from
her arms vipers send silent signals that in turn signal the dancers to
start their turns in spiral arms of the galaxies my burning feet follow the
sun hot like coal the deserts bottom is made of sandstone and cotton
forests of flowering malanga and taro tell fortunes to the stars dream in
repose and stormy weather i am never afraid to become young and
open to the other in contact’s proximity breath becomes fire while
hearts send images into the ether read the words written upon blades
of sword wielding soldiers their fathers left them for far too long youth is wasted on television’s plagiarism heaven’s songs are formed in
basements by angels strung out and love struck with crazy wisdom
bracelets made from shackles intimidating cackles and feathers
reaching for the sun in moonlight’s quiver silver arrows gather words are lotus blossoms growing in muddy water reaching upward for
your heart now is the bottomless pit pointing towards oblivion repeating
yourself again and again i am never lonely said the powerful goddess

"...the circle of fifths, that ancient music wheel, that indeed has no beginning or ending, it's deeper meaning no longer to be revealed by human lips, who have too long grown accustomed to pretending..."

Poetry speaks of
plenty. But hunger conceals
not one thing at all.

you constantly bless  
the ******* who deny you  
your beauty and grace

all bystanders please  
stand by, love is on the rise
tonight and always

bystanders please stand
by, for love is on the rise
tonight and always

Isolated mono-crops can’t control our hunger.
Monkeys with guns shoot at their lovers.
Punish them with lightning.
Turn them into upside down ice-cream cones.
A conversation with hundreds of overtones.
Harmonics are fire, night-time is a liar,
and we already gave you
everything you desired.

some other being has become my self
like candles lit upon that shelf
don’t stifle any of it
the whispered prayer is repeated
never mind the ones that cheated
if you complete yourself
you are beyond the herd
be gentle with your self
if you feel the need to rest
find a pillow to lie upon
shine your shoe with sand and sea
smoke the mirror and an image you will see
bless the dancers in their costumes
