Yes I Will
Mark Wanless May 2018
Yes i Will


Don't know what your thinking any more
   about
How come i see you in my bedroom yesterday
   at night
This mind is but a figment of the
   never more
The car drives by the camera
   1963
  
I was not here until so timeless
   recently
Why do i think i own the universe
   again
Saw you in my bedroom twice again
   last night
You were not there i know a ghost in
   darkest light
  
  
If i could touch you one more time i would
   my love
The ecstasy the fantasy is but a dream
   my love    
My future is a bookmark on this page
   of life
Never been to heaven hell just seems
   so wrong
  
Called you by your name last night in bed
   alone
A life of happiness is just a life
   of strife
Knew eternity a time ago
   yes i did
Give it up for one more day with you
   yes i will

What day was this

What Day Was This

Burnt the bridges
   can't go back
      on purpose
Just a forward step
   into a fog of life
      on purpose
  
Can't predict the future
   pay your bills on time
      unless life lets you
Go to work yesterday
   just like today again
      if life lets you
  
We stand tall and strong
   till the mindless mallet falls
      as is always
Cry till the tears stop
   the mindless comfort comes
      as is always
  
Time tolls it's bell
   a rhythm in our mind
      what else is there
To look into the past
   just reflections in our mind
      what else is there

Went to the store
   bought this life of small
      imagination
Called out your name
   in my dreams you are gone
      i will miss you

Stormy Sea

if on a dark and stormy sea
   washed with cold and spray
i see a lighthouse calling me
   i will gladly turn away
  
want the travail of the wind
   want the cold and spray
harbour is an earthly place
   no place for me to be

Not Here
Mark Wanless May 2018
Not Here

came across a thought yesterday
   that said i was not here
saw it    don't believe it    no sir no
   i wonder what is real
  
the nations are a figment
   of thought in mind alone
yet here i live in a country
   imagining it my home
  
called a god to witness
   what i thought was truly true
no answer came but clear clear thought
   it's only me and you
   it's only me and you
  
saw a spirit yesterday
   forty years ago
was he heaven   was he hell
   maybe you will know
  
this time i am a breathin
   was this the only one
remember me from long ago
   mother   daughter   son
  
called a lake a river
   called the darkness light
been to hell and back again
   we are the only ones
   we are the only ones

called a lecture

proclaimed to the walls

   gurgling softly

To Never Be Quiet Again
Mark Wanless Apr 2018
"To Never Be Quiet Again"

To never be quiet again i pray
To sing of bones and teeth
And soaring birds
Of change eternal transmuting
The aggregate of we
To newer dreams unthought
Till seen in the moment arisen
Of monkeys contemplating in trees
Of vibrating mind stuff
Incarnate oscillations
Neither existence nor non existence
But the fullness of the inexpressible
The beauty of no shape
No form
No archetype but the make believe
The source of breath
The source of sight
The source of consciousness
Infinite variety bewildering to ignorance
To birth and death continuous
Till birth and death transcended
The exhilarating mystery of motive power
Of Himalayan hillsides
Prayer flags in the wind
Hammer and chisel stone work
Snow
And the virtuous wishes of all
Sentient beings
Amen

"Touch Me"


The pictures on the wall
Are varied and beautiful
Look at me, not them.
Fresh, plump, ripe, strawberries
And cream, beckon
Desire me, not them.
Men and women talking, moving
To and fro, in and out
Touch me.

To Uncle's
Mark Wanless Apr 2018
"To Uncle's"

The sun is shining, the sky is blue,
The meadows are fresh with morning dew,
The trees sigh softly upon the hill,
A Blue jay sounds it's merry trill,
And along the path from the valley below
Two children laugh and play as they go
To the house of their uncle who peacefully lives
Up high on the mountain side. Anticipation gives
A burst of speed to the feet of the happy children
As they crash through the door unbidden,
And startle the old man by the fireside.
But no amount of feigned irritation could hide
The joy now shining from that weathered face,
As into his loving arms his nephews race.

What Is
Mark Wanless Apr 2018
"What Is?"

truth, is a pacifier,
comforting and calming.

truth, is something
to hang on to, giving
a false sense of control.

truth, is an individual
and temporary construct,
of murky human thought.

Truth, is known
only to God,
if God exists.

Together En-mass
Mark Wanless Apr 2018
"Together En-mass"

Together en-mass we drink vibrations
Torrenting from electronic multiplication boxes
Stacked repeatedly with fore-knowledge
Of manipulation formulas learned
Consciously or unconsciously no matter
For we are here and sit and expose ourselves
To the rhythmic pounding onslaught
To feel and re-feel a froth of stimulation
Which gorges the ego in its blind efforts
To consummate the universe in order to believe
In its own fabricated existence as genuine
from a concert in Mcleod Ganj India in 1999

He is never where they look
Unless by accident they pierce him
The communal streets are crowded with the dominant pattern
Happy happy as real as it can possibly be
He is not there with them set in time and lock step
Curiouser than stubble on a young girls cheek
Like **** of a boar hog
Not able to leap anything
Just a drop in the bucket
The bucket in the ocean
And its ocean all the way down

Often along my way.
Dragging the weight of errors
Added to disease.
Near blind, I cursed the chaos
In darkness,
Not even knowing there were
Lights to be lit.
And my living heart bled.
Three quarters dead and dying
I reached outside myself
For help,
You were there

the Stoffers hid the ****** globs
in the field of glen rice
good fertilizer,  good hiding
after a few days it could not be
scanned as anything other than excrement

Closen knew the Stoffers tricks
but could not scan due to protocol
each expel of energy was recorded
classified and supervised by the
KLen government.. an expenditure
of energy meant lives lost.

Closen knew this from the time
when he could remember. His father,
a corporal of the KLen, was able to
feed his family enough.  No raids,
no evictions, no riots,
not in his sector.

he did what he could when he could
and was loyal to the KLen
a strong wise man, in a time
of turmoil, choosing.

I heard on the radio a killing
Frenzy by humans      malignant contagion
Of heart circling the planet on thought winds
We cannot help it it is our conditioning
To death in this times pain momentum we
Don't have to smoke shoot-up pop drink yell hit
But oh the urge moves us beyond our strength
Threshold we fall down to animus heart
Part of this age might as well admit it
To see it perhaps to stop creating
It preconscious survival curse my blood
Better than your blood more deserving of
Life illusion core sentient paradigm
Moving hands to **** the lesser others

bean to heaven, been to hell
just some word's, in my skull

no place running, no place hide
no big choice, live or die

who are you, see you near
do not care, why you're here

just like you, live or die

And again i am yours in return
Through cyclic return we are motion
Entwined without moving from formless
We form a clear union of mirrors

Of each of the wavelets rebounding
From edges of cosmos created
By selves of the sentient beings
That wander and wonder forever
Till bursting to light
