I wanna stop.
I don’t wanna stop—
at the same time.

Somebody stop me
Somebody drag me
from this whirlpool of glass & shame.

Somebody stop me
Somebody stop me—
from going blind,
eyeless, bound in chains.

Somebody stop me
from slipping in vain.

Oh, my f~cked-up soul—
my drunk, derailed brain.
I really wanna stop now
But I don't have faith in ...self!
What's happening with me?
Blue wide skies—
Coconuts sway. I love you.
Date palms whisper.
Tambourine woman calls
& the man with his guitar answers.

A man, ****** on re~efer
wags to the rhythm—
“Play the chord!”
He strums.
She sings.
Her soprano rises,
blending into his melody.

Clouds drift overhead—
soft cumulus fluff
woven with more dense
stratocumulus threads
making my day
a tapestry of moods.
Unpredictable!

Early afternoon:
Sunlight diffuses thru the Clouds
casting a tender & soft
balanced tone
across the land—
harsh shadows softened
edges blurred.

The sky hums
of calm before (or after) a storm—
a melancholic euphoria
bittersweet & Quite
like finding a quiet anime site
in the chaos of a natural world.

The sound—
like LSD on a warm breeze.
Euphoria hums in harmony
under the wide blue sky
of South Asia.
Blind
A frustrated mind
Sees nothing.

A positive aura from your side
When the day
craves the young night.

Don’t rebuke where you are
Don’t rebuke your slight.

In the orb of Arbiters
Surrounded by.

Perhaps human life
Is a flock of birds
soaring through the sky

Perhaps the human mind
Is like an unearthed
Exciting thrilling science.
I think I should say hello
But my brain just blanks  
you know?
Heart says “go” feet say “no
So I stand here…

Stuck in hello.

Hello........

Ahhhhh

Let it be.
Hello🫠
for the mind's eye
the vision can be
darker & unreal
~~~

for the mind's voice
the whisper can be
provoking & manipulative
~~~

for the mind's thoughts
a great chasm, Canyon
  of ancient wisdom
achieved & level-unlocked
by inscriptions, Experience
& ages you stroll in this
   peaceful
& slowly rotting Earth
an ancient greybeards
~~~~

for the mind’s wisdom
no thought is new
.
  All things return
recycled as dust
as fire
as word
as prayer, as plastic.
wanna write more 'bout you

but f~ck—

my brain already
burnt all its fireworks.

No.

This ain't fair—
this is cruelty
dress'd in a lab coat
grinning like chemistry.

Ah f~ckin dopamine
my brain is like "enough for today!"
I’m a crybaby
Lying on her lap—so deep.
Reading poems
I’ve written for her
She dares to believe.

She twirls~ my hair—
Twice—twice it entices
Loving the way she ponders
Before she realizes.

I’m a crybaby
Lost in the night.

On her lap
I’ve found my lonely paradise.
