No nettles within the gardens, No ¹needles within the haystacks. Who made for them new navels And showered with salted-wine what would not leave us. Who thrushed through every grain of every chaff, Picking out & crushing that which was rotten. We who made the meadows free! Who liberated they who were encased in ²amber; Rain, Lightning, Thunder. Who slayed the ³Fearsome Hydra. Slew the ⁴Slithering Gorgon. They who silenced the speaking weeds And the whispering flagons. Companions of the ⁵Dragon. Who caused the Titans to bleed. Who stitched the wound, Who cauterized it, Who bandaged it. The first of us to understand, What was the seed.

Cool aqua marine Stillness sinking into blue I wait for the sun My fears sink down deep The pool offers little warmth I wait in the sun Questions float in time Waters answer in silence I wait with the sun

The Bathing Pool
A spur of the moment your thoughts     Fly high                      spirit- within              The half- Angel              Wings of a falcon            Whole family rooftop beacon Spirit of darkness pulling you through But you had enough what else can you do? The inner light afternoon hiking strong sun Heart- jump the darkness knight   Turn of the wing lovers- flight Waves form a word to far________ out- of- sight Bright karma spiritual meditation Magical forefinger western saloon Are we doomed gunslingers Spiritual voice awakening Sun full force The sun of his face So penetrating/ everlasting   Spirit foretelling minds/ crashing Foretelling a tale news/ flashing Breathe in all the goodness to inhale   God-like prophetic exhale Born free feral wild Certain events foreseen Spirit touch  us*                      all*              as a child*       Spirit foretelling   Eloquent of a real man lives us To his duty Time is unruly Middle name Joy Meaning Something like you Do you feel its still you Spirit change inside you Starting to heal feet its S h a k y Holding the pen Where are your hands maturing What then? Exquisite gardens    Open and play Japanese Zen A beauty to stay   Spiritual star foretelling Love- Every Day

Perspective
Plush cushions for a wood green hut Indigent, arrogance, and Omniscience Learned counterpart owned the seats Grey, humble, Shamen Pure fear, unmoving in his discourse Pure love, uplifting in his seat Time calls for action. Was he willing? Yes--preparation inside the wood tree hut. Inside the young man’s mouth Chewed a taste of bubble gum worn out For one hour they waited Sitting comfortably, and waited Blood Red skinned Demons peel off the roof Razor Talons swinging Razor Talons scratching at our young man’s head. Our shamen waits, unmoving, calming, and encouraging Inside his breath was a spell. To calm, and quell any foe. A cool breath froze the winged ******** Sending them back to where they came Time passes A mind now healed like a band-aid covering a wound His mind was pulled closer. Our young man returned his eyes to the wood green hut Seeing the old man, smiling for his own part A street-wide smile was sent back Leaving the seat he thanked him with complete Love for each other, and all mankind

Pathways To Peace
It is so quiet. I hear peanuts shells snapping teeth grinding peanuts into butter between his teeth. The quiet page turning Buried do deeply in "The Scottish Prisoner" It will be a while Before he is hungry for dinner. A bonus! Turing thoughts inward to the ever present ringing in my ears. Long breaths in and slower breaths out Allowing the noise to disappear.

Catalyst
Evening lady moon, sorry if last night, i was in anyway rude to you, it's my human flaw, you know i realised Angel's, are Angel's cause they live in heaven, for earth is faulty, mostly it's about desires, and personal gain. pardon me if went out of line, lady moon,you know you light my world at night time,do you see where dreamcatcher, hide's all of our dreams,do you see them too, for if you were to testify 'bout the night, the truth you'd spill would be too heavy, for us to bear. And so you know my heart, doesn't beat the same anymore, my thoughts ain't blank anymore, it may be the grip of her radiance, i don't know,read my mind and tell me,

The Monk’s Robe
Arguments, anger, frustration. Conflict, mediation, meditation. Today it’s all about our cortex, our right brain, your left brain. Our amygdala, your feminine side, someone’s masculine side. Maybe even the bright side. Who is right, who is wrong. Onwards, backwards, forwards, Glass half full, too often these days the glass is empty. Relationships are strained, pressures too great. The *** boils over and over. A fire burns into the very soul. Too much gets destroyed. The damage is done. Things are certainly inflamed as people are enraged and anger reins. How are you travelling? What are your goals? Common sense, like Paradise, lost. Love is lost and sometimes re-found if good fortune favours you and maybe the brave. Children suffer; best interests I hear you say. But does anyone really understand? For too many it is all about me, me, me. Sadly, it is all about agendas and egos, it is all about me, me, me.

A Mediator’s Daily Fare
Those who choose to dig deeper must be willing to accept the dirt as truth and the mess as proof The only resolve is sharing tha loot with those who seek not to be aloof   those who can recycle   improve reuse Otherwise your pursuit becomes futile and vanity in roots That holds you trapped in a place that never bore fruit. Like a Pirate Tied to a ship who's sunken into frozen winter drifts Yelling at everyone who passes by Uneffected Bitter Colder Less Productive An Ivory Tusk Burned in private on public telivision

Observations of a TruthSeeker (Pendulum Poetry)
We were one, we were a team Now you're gone, never to be seen I see you every night in my dreams I'm empty now, but you're happy, it seems. I thought that I did everything right Until I saw your message that night Am I wrong or am I right? Should I have put up more of a fight? After all this time and now it's over So hard to deal with all this when you're sober Maybe I should go sit in the rain With a pill and some ***** to numb my pain. Don't want to talk, I just need time To realise that you're no longer mine Have to figure out what I do next The next girl I find will just be for *** I feel emotional and physical strain Losing myself, I'm going insane See your face and I know that I'm dreaming Wake in the night, can't breathe and I'm screaming. If it's not my stomach, then it's my head 3am heart racing, that feeling of dread Lately I just don't feel like me Vision all cloudy, just wish I could see. Each day I try so hard to pretend My whole body feels broken, just wish it would mend Right now it's difficult for me to carry on I'm trying not to break, I'm trying to be strong. Standing here shaking, on the grass whispering to myself, 'this too shall pass' Earphones in, drowning out the voices that are in my head, along with other noises. What I need is to forget about you To change my scenery, to change my view I can't give in to this depressing mood I need meditation and solitude.

I need meditation and solitude
It begins with dull morning light through slits in shutters. It ends with moon's bright gleam and smile and my doze of a sleep. In between the getting through the upward climb and downward fall and collapse or half built up and left undone or incomplete and failings at my feet. Books opened but closed page marked with print of Picasso. Music on the radio half listened to or not let slide into the room as I sit watching the cat lick its rear end or birds on the feeder swinging to and fro why? I don't know. It begins as it ends two slices of being like slices of limp bread with a filling of dull life like cheap meat in railway sandwiches years ago. I go on why? I don't know.

IT BEGINS.
Her door was the sanctuary to inner peace; a sudden enlightenment Engaging the candle of lit eyes. Mindful to the calm hush; Disappearing in self. Body, Mind, Soul. Beside her door there was a lake wide awake with open ears. I stood there Absorbing her wisdom. A depth of kindness with each interchanging current. I learned to speak without words. Connecting thine eyes with hers. All else was swallowed; Exhaling, then breathing again. Fingers extinguishing all else that threatened a light shone from her. Her Eyes. She'd shone me courage, grasping my hand. Entwining her path with mine. I bowed to her and her alone in guided mediation. At that moment there was no need for mirrors, realizing that she was my reflection. My spirit animal, my refugee. She taught me the language of her heart, being shown in silence. I journeyed a place ears would have no use, my tongue becoming a stranger. A total embodiment to the gift of her and her alone. A beautiful lesson in poverty; Clinching my hands in prayer.                                                               Blessed in her presence

Seek Sunsets
Yes, that is an abstraction of the landscape. Yes, you have achieved some creative control. Showcase your efforts! Open their minds! Tear the ************* roof off! Little God-man runnin' the cycles To each his own script His own prescription Little God-man running the show Master of Ceremonies The human bridge You must throw back each perch and wait for the fattening; You'll need that for the next act..... Keep your strength up.

Poem for anti-art art
poetry roots me, I am not thinking ahead. I am here! That is enough when I write It's enough to be here and no where else anymore not fantasying the more i fantasize the more it eats away at the energy that I have for my heart desires poetry it desire spontaneity above all but how can anything be spontaneous if i've already thought it all so I stay I stay here in the moment of the poem forever Until I cannot possibly write anymore dreading the ending of my poem.
