#meta-literature
There is a silent street Where poets go And a tiger color of light Rains down, a search That is never found Via symbols at the end Of literature and pages Mere metaphors for The creative process Of image and narrative The act of encapsulation Experience, such a myth Like memory, only a ripple Of the original, so the authors Glimpse something unreal And seek to translate it But the poets know, they Will never come through Their vertigo of dream Writing in the wind On the sand in the desert Catching reflections in the river Of the sky, the essence Is forever lost, of each moment Only we can approximate In art, part of the beauty Of creation and hunt persecuted Through time, the testaments OF sun, wheat, flower, pomegranate Bumble-bee, united at the same Address, of autumn on a terrace Somewhere near you.

Octopus Poem
And the alphabet is longing Language the key to the sky’s desire A grace of words, to move the spirit That moves by Him and lends Mercy to power, gratitude to intelligence And that law is a music, a Kingdom Of poetry, those incantations Where the vowels spread like mantras And the songs reveal Her face The mystery of our evolution In mere syllables, moments of expression And the letter is longing And the sky-people write hieroglyphics Not unlike mandarin, with concepts like Sanskrit And our Law is their Law We communicate in mathematics And the translation of vibration We attain diplomacy via Quantum physics And the alphabets merge, like rivers Into a sea of our unity, mystery blood of sentience.

ANCIENT LAW OF LANGUAGE
I’m the captured poet of dream a Ferris wheel author of haunted Sioux transcendence-miracles an alchemist of language maybe the last poet of epiphanies that dance like a silent water-tanka the fire-rain-truth shouts inside of me like a poet that navigates the overmind a benevolent alien collective-mind an indecipherable dialogue of darling insomnia divinity and fantasy-starved and sun-quilted ambrosia, my lungs filled with the promise of the cosmos come to life in majestic verse behind blindfolds of invisible offerings resigned to the hypothetical responsibility of mediumship.

Sky-Voice
These words have survived separations Faces I can no longer remember of loved ones Poetry has transcended my decades Spacious and fluent like a last reminder Of why truth is no longer as important As beauty, inner beauty of a spiritual quality Alphabets now shelter this candle This life that was my hopes and dreams These most intimate self-deceptions Wildest faith of wonderful illusions For a moment still I am there With moons and roses, aware of nothing But the shine of creativity on our inner cheek The mineral blossoms and lotus of our imagination It’s pure there to write like drunken water In a light of its own color, reflecting the pauses Silences, spaces in-between relationships and solitude That was the best quality of the life I lived.

Migration in a summer of lovely language
To write poetry is To create philosophical memory To adjust the commentaries Of all souls, to just one voice To strip the inequalities Of existence, of their mass To write poetry is To erase the written Transforming what we have read Making alphabets contemporary Fluid, mystical To write poetry is not just art It’s neurological reprogramming A quantum gesture to The nature of beauty And Meaning itself To write poetry is To return to an absence of meaning The meddlesome mind forgets The natural order of nature To reduce layers of narrative And return to a total peace And a grand vision of the universe As a talking thing, exchanging energy In a physics of existence To write poetry is to love the unwritten Endings that all concur To identify with the sudden Rupture of beginnings From which all thought originates To write poetry is thus The silence in between the words And a solace beyond thought To free oneself form the memory That is an impression or a scar On the mind, blankness is an ideal state To observe time and space without attachment To love existence independently Of the personal conditions of one’s life On the letters of your poems I observe a black walking cat A woman that must question her heart To find the answers, without Speaking we are a language All we feel and do is a kind of vocabulary.
