"alchemy" poems
A person goes out to town to cure Boredom or loneliness Often looking to conquer both Even an introvert wants company It’s taken six years to go search I found a coffee shop With a black box room I took a seat And waited for the host To start the show Improv comedy Never been to one of those The host asked What’s inside this invisible box Answers came out from the audience I said a can of worms Not loud I hate attention But the host heard And chose that can of worms Someone listened to me And now they are making Me my own personal joke I got to admit I was jealous Each member has conquered The fear of people Of being in front of people Of speaking to people Acting crazy in front of people The show was great We all had a laugh One day I will thank them And maybe one day I’ll join on that stage Just one foot in front of the other Next week is a poetry reading And that’s where I’ll be

Underground Coffee Alchemy
Be Lost In The Call Lord, said David, since you do not need us, why did you create these two worlds? Reality replied: Oh prisoner of time, I was a secret treasure of kindness and generosity, and I wished this treasure to be known, so I created a mirror: its shining face, the heart; its darkened back, the world; The back would please you if you’ve never seen the face. Has anyone ever produced a mirror out of mud and straw? Yet clean away the mud and straw, and a mirror might be revealed. Until the juice ferments a while in the cask, it isn’t wine. If you wish your heart to be bright, you must do a little work. My King addressed the soul of my flesh: You return just as you left. Where are the traces of my gifts? We know that alchemy transforms copper into gold. This Sun doesn’t want a crown or robe from God’s grace. He is a hat to a hundred bald men, a covering for ten who were naked. Jesus sat humbly on the back of an *** my child! How could a zephyr ride an *** Spirit, find your way, in seeking lowness like a stream. Reason, tread the path of selflessness into eternity. Remember God so much that you are forgotten. Let the caller and the called disappear; be lost in the Call.

Rumi's Mirror
Radness The Philosopher’s Stone is not just a spiritual metaphor but an actual substance that can transmute lead or mercury into gold. The Stone is a product of Alchemy. Unlike chemistry, which only deals with physical matter and energy, Alchemy makes use of etheric and astral energies to reconfigure matter at the quantum level. Alchemy is to chemistry what a cube is to the square; it is a superset of chemistry and is capable of so much more. How Etheric Energy Overrides Physical Laws Alchemical achievements require successfully gathering, concentrating, and multiplying etheric energy. When this energy reaches a critical threshold, it overpowers the normal laws of physics and allows seemingly miraculous processes to take place. I believe it does this by biasing probability. By amplifying the probability of minor quantum effects, which are normally limited to the subatomic scale, they manifest on the larger atomic scale. In this way, one element spontaneously transforms into another. The world around us is made of subatomic particles that regularly undergo unpredictable jumps, teleportation, bilocation, superposition, and other strange quantum behaviors. Why don’t everyday solid objects do likewise? Because the random quantum jittering of their subatomic particles collectively average out to zero. Think of a large crowd of people; seen from the air, the crowd as a whole is stationary, even though individuals within the crowd move in seemingly random directions. It’s because their movements are random and uncoordinated that they average to zero net movement on the whole. The world we see around us is merely a crowd of subatomic particles whose individual quantum jumps aren’t apparent because they average to collective stillness. Physical laws that govern our everyday world, known as the deterministic laws of classical physics, are merely the laws of the crowd. These laws are what’s left of quantum physics after the unpredictability is removed through statistical averaging. They are not absolute laws; they are just the most probable manner in which matter and energy behave. Physical laws can be bent. While the probability is incredibly low that enough coordination and coherence develops among the quantum jitters to manifest on a collective scale, that is exactly what etheric energy does. It alters probability and thereby skews the laws of thermodynamics, gravity, electromagnetism, and chemistry. Alchemy does not violate the laws of physics, nor does it always follow them, rather it bends them as needed. It operates upon the quantum foundation from which these laws arise in the first place, via etheric energy affecting the probability of quantum events.

A Jersey girl came along and I started to think about angles of yaw needed to take flight, how the force of a kick skirts the delicate line between winning and losing. I’ve seen it all before, but not like this. Besides, seeing has nothing to do with believing. Corneas can't capture the vibrations of molecules or excitations of electrons. Champions defy biology, overcome gravity and I believe what goes up does not always come down. I want to know the point where focus takes control of epinephrine, who’s cascade is initiated by the roar of a crowd, but negatively regulated by doubt, when to take a long shot or build up slowly. I want to live the difference between accuracy and precision, taste the dirt, become painted with bruises and scorch my heart. A flag is heaviest when you carry it, lightest when it’s raised, worn as a cape and allowed to wave in the wind. Countries aren't build, they're created created denying muscles oxygen but allowing them to taste gold. It's ability to conduct electricity astounds me. It’s not about alchemy but transforming sweat into tears, fixing nitrogen, reducing triglycerides. Not all reactions need light, some create it. It’s only over when there’s not enough energy for activation.

Carli Lloyd is a Badass
* The fume A thick dark fumy cloud Dormant it lies, but often loud Precariously overhead, it flowed The sunshine of the life, it swallowed It rained, challenged by the mighty peak In the heart, It pained, to see it weak The cloud was small but heavy However dusty and floaty. The doom and gloom Embracing in its shadow In desert, plains and meadow Eclipsing the days, sunny bright Dreadful, with the darkening night With me, always  hanging around When noticed, nearby it's found Haunting me with a sadness Flaunting its darkness A lot in the cloud explored Then consciously, It was ignored But dancing at the back of the mind Past  hurts and  pains, it  put to rewind The boom and bloom And then, letting it flow across, I got immersed, In fine tiny droplets, the cloud dispersed, Now each droplet addressed separately Was dried in the shiny sun completely All of the cloud, dripped to evaporate Condensed eventually, as distillate My pains, by that elixir, cured, Alchemised me into 24 carat gold *

The cloud alchemy...24 carat gold
Dear diabolic debutante / Spawn of the unfathomable abyss of blackness / Daughter of dreadful dead desire / Black-shrouded sinister sister of celestial gloom before whose imperious gaze the heavens fall silent / Whip-lash girl-child of the graves whose pallid visage kindles the myriad infernal fires / Autocratic vampiress of lunar doom whose winding-cloth enfolds the thousand horrors of blood-drenched nightmare / Thou that wanderest the cypress-crested hills of funereal necropolises / Whose icy glance cracks the ungraven tombstones of utter desolation / Empress of night and madness / Who stalks the locked and shadowed hallways of unhallowed thought / Whose burial-boat glides the still waters over Lethe’s silent depths to the unglimpsed isle of eternal mourning / Whose parapets tower above the fiefdoms of quotidian banality / Whose flying buttresses overlook the Stygian waters of the forgotten drowned denizens of damnation / Whose unshackled dungeons open to worlds of regal splendor / Whose spires pierce dark skies where oblivion buries the ruined cities of revelry under the drifting clouds of leaden time / Oh maiden of melancholic alchemy whose petrified passions transmute base metal into pure gold… May the gibbous moon of equinox shine its baleful eye upon you; may you tread in sacramental calm the winding starlit paths of somnolent cemeteries; may my unmixed metaphors unveil in delirium their parabolic mysteries before the smoldering altar of your uninterpretable allegory; may the favor of your scorn forever lay me out, embalmed, undead, on the cold stone of merciless reality. Behold: in cryptic script of spectral apparition, in tracery of coded illumination, amidst the dawning rays of torment I write thine unknown name on the threshold of daylight. And from within the mortared wall of self I speak forth from my sepulcher the Sibylline utterance, unsought, unheard, undreamt: JUST WANTED TO SAY ‘HI’ !

Alchemy
The sensual glee, that translates as conjugal poetry gently speaks about the pair's  easy, perfect chemistry. Intimate moments exude a rare sense of aesthetics, pointing to an alchemy they could easily spark by their sultry proximity;  minds and bodies, move   in resonance, and the waves of exhilaration brim and flow.

The birth of poetry, out of conjugal chemistry
I expand, ingrediently. Song sun, bare foot on accelerator all the way, heart at last excited. What roads where? Who wind who? Because day meanders a tra la la alchemy And night shivers me into the furthest permissions of gold

I'm told its best to eat low on the food chain so if its okay i'll start at your feet and work my way up tenderly excited like a child climbing a great tree for the first time aspiring to your kind mouth but forgive me my love, alas my manners have left me and   i fear i'm stuck between your thighs your shimmering slit has me woozy oooh candy red lolly so very cherry jolly my favorite color since i was six years old you know and so wet like babies drool can we open this butter cup it all loving alizarin silk a gift for my tongue splashing pink little fluttering bull frog ready to turn into your prince the taste of epiphany my attention deficient disorder vanquished my learning disabilities evaporated why didn't they teach me to read like this i can taste the entire alphabet inside of you numbers come with colors now making sense suddenly i feel the alchemy of poetry and art high mathematics and astrophysics i hear the music of the spheres and every molecule of the earth giving birth to the spice of creation next you say, would i like to know the constellations of heaven yes please my lady i'm definitely going to kiss your ***

Spice of Creation
The soliloquy of the night, what we think as falling stars and meteors, make time and space immaterial in the transmission of pain across light years. Sitting here alone, a sentinel to pain's interplanetary travel, and witness of it transforming in  to other forms, eloquent, I hear them when my eyes, acquire a sense, primordial receive the dark waves of pain in my veins a volcano palpitating to blow up in to  fireworks of emotions. Everywhere eyes could travel, is filled by night, thick, gooey, agglutinated; then the meditative darkness, dreams up a beam of  gentle light, out of its deep transcending yearning, to speak to itself,to get  an alchemy work on that pain then, the pain itself becomes a haunting journey with words this ,is how  my love, my songs in the midnight of my lonely soul, are born.

The soliloquy of pain
When you're around Someone slips down the thermostat Plays it like a violin Drifting a decent toward The most poignant Minor cord. I feel lost within myself Like an island watching a beautiful ship Sail by without stopping. And yet- You leave and it aches; Hurts like the thud of pulse Behind a ripening bruise... Feels as though my heart is about to Rend my ribs and squelch Painfully though the cracks To slither away in your general direction. In your absence I realize that simple things Can grow into necessity. Tiny seedlings who take root Can somehow cross time to become A redwood with roots so deep The foundation of the earth is never the same When it falls. Air is everywhere And yet when its gone Beneath tidal waves It's more precious than gold; Riches mean nothing when you're drowning.

~~~<♡>~~~ Here's a tale of woe and love a ballad soft and low it shows how greed can rise above and how far it will go King Midas had a wonderous gift turned everything he touched into gold, an alchemy shift he wanted wealth so much But he loved his daughter more than that she, a maid so bold she ran to him where he then sat and became solid gold Thus ends the tale of avarice Midas had the world but would have lost all in a trice to save his little girl SoulSurvivor (C) 6/2/2015

King Midas' Daughter
One puts all nature into mourning, One lights her like a flaring sun — What whispers ‘Burial’ to the one Cries to the other, ‘Life and Morning.’ The unknown Hermes who assists The role of Midas to reverse, And makes me by a subtle curse The saddest of all alchemists — By him, my paradise to hell, And gold to **** is changed too well. The clouds are winding-sheets, and I, uncover corpses loved of old; and where the shores celestial die I carve vast tombs against the sky.

The Alchemy of Sorrow - Charles Baudelaire
She is My cream nicotine The Surging through our blues The fluidity of divinity Juxtapose Whoever said love was easy… Yeah 'Ol Chap, they Sure had it right, Because no man or lady can ever Subtract Once their hue has mixed it can never go back. 2 Whipped Cream and Other Delights. And why would you? The dregs are bitter, The milk too sweet. If you water it down then All flavor retreats Life is just better off Bitter-Sweet, Cream never asks coffee On how it should mix Why do we attempt these liquid alchemy tricks? The intrusion is dilution of the Makers choice Through imperfection comes the lesson Learned perception with each sip The air red dried truth The Words stuck to the lips Tasters Digest the last drink drips Yet I question why I am so subject to infusion Her meaningful quips Why we attempt these liquid alchemy tricks? Still I question why I am so subject to the infusion of Her Dips Sometimes I call it Love Sometimes I call it Quits For You My Dear Let's Cheers Another Grip of Seared Buds and Belly Aches and Lactose Licorice So Pour Another! while the Argument still in Air and While Dilutions of gratification Grind into Frothy Despair

Cream Nicotine
Busy old fool, unruly sun, Why dost thou thus, Through windows and through curtains, call on us? Must to thy motions lovers’ seasons run? Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide Late schoolboys and sour ‘prentices, Go tell court-huntsmen that the King will ride, Call country ants to harvest offices; Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time. Thy beams so reverend and strong Why shouldst thou think? I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink But that I would not lose her sight so long: If her eyes have not blinded thine, Look, and, tomorrow late, tell me Whether both th’ Indias of spice and mine Be where thou left’st them, or lie here with me. Ask for those kings whom thou saw’st yesterday, And thou shalt hear ‘All here in one bed lay’. She is all states, and all princes I; Nothing else is. Princes do but play us; compared to this, All honour’s mimic, all wealth alchemy. Thou, sun, art half as happy as we, In that the world’s contracted thus; Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be To warm the world, that’s done in warming us. Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere; This bed thy centre is, these walls thy sphere.

The Sun Rising
The Crickets cackle “crisp,” With an only interruption, being I, Atop dust, whisper and Desert highway. I’d tell you if I were running, But I’m not quite sure, not yet, Leaving the Coyote to eat, Respite, and devoured, The singing Crickets, A’howl later, To deliver answers unimpeded. I have a faint memory – A snake’s grip promised, via hand and Crystal contingency, “Wiser,” once bestowed, the mystic; An epic complete, atop 17 years of thunder, Steel stained crimson, Street stained whimper And forever remaining, “Under-construction.” Symbolic a more relevant scaffold, ½ bamboo and the other steel, the tower, Note ‘fore me, it’s only purpose – Elsewhere, and anonymous, While I tap my belly to some Melody we’d once enjoyed; Maybe something by, “Coltrane,” Or maybe not; but music we’d both Recognize and reminisce too. It’s an awkward alchemy of sorts, As the Crickets, post-mortem, Persist if only to chirp, and the Coyote mulls. When the dust continues to cake. When the whisper finds newer ears. When interrupt’s abrupt, erupts, Pacifies and interrupts again; My precious distraction – An amnesia loyal in away from, “then.” Somewhere beyond, “there,” And onward, “anew.”

#The Battleground Beneath Her Skin (A Physiology of Light and War) Before it reaches her; even before her breath draws it in, I break myself down..   not as surrender,   but as choice. Each particle stripped bare, each atom exhaled made clean by the reckoning of my own dark, infused with the stubborn weight of light earned, not borrowed. Within the responsibility of what   leaves me, I enter the quiet union— the kneeling choice to align with the hand of God, to let even my smallest fragments carry His capacity to heal. Every airborne particle, accountable, deliberate, refined enough to cross the distance, to enter her without deception. Beneath her skin, a war unfolds. It is not loud, not made of swords, but of smaller things.. things unseen by eyes, but never missed by the marrow, the blood, the quiet trembling of cells that have known both wound   and wonder. Light and dark.. not in theory, but in matter thread themselves through every atom, every strand of her being. Not metaphor, but measurable: *the way shadows lean into the soft chambers of her lungs, the way light, when chosen, can rewrite the blueprints etched into the bloodstream.* This is the battleground.. her body, her breath, her most involuntary places. Where no poetry of seductive manipulation.. no whispered counterfeit can cover what is real. Only substance speaks here. Only intent. Only what survives the fire of accountability earns the right to stay. The particles come; stripped down, atomized, refined.. not by accident, but by the slow, steady grind of volition. They enter her; through breath, through pores.. *through the quiet, relentless openness that even fear cannot close completely.* And inside-- the war begins. ..   ..   ..   .. Mitochondria spark— tiny engines deciding what stays, what burns away. Capillaries widen, rivers branching through her like tributaries willing to carry what is real, what is earned, what is Light. The counterfeit falters here. Pretty words mean nothing to oxygen. False portraits dissolve beneath the chemistry of truth. The cells remember;   they choose. And as the Light infuses the quietest corners of her.. her thighs, her hips, the soft stretch of her waist; there is no seduction, no trickery. Only the hard-won intimacy of substance made pure. Not by the blending of oils, not by the friction of skin, but by the deeper, unseen alchemy of what enters, what lingers, what refuses to bow to darkness. The battleground is hers now. And though the shadows  will not yield easily, they cannot claim her; not where light has been chosen, earned, metabolized. The war is not over, but benea.th her skin, within her blood, *Light has begun to rise.* #

emergence is an act of rebellion. our eyelids peaking open like rusty curtains as we steadily count backwards 5 … 4 … 3 …  2 … 1 climbing from our morning covers in one swift movement like the bold musketeer ready to pierce his opponent. allowing the cold to wash over our body towards the to do lists and outdoor morning mist. legs miraculously sprung to life from our dreams seconds ago resting in a field of sunlit streams. allowing forced smiles to emerge in the mirror if the natural ones forgot to attend our morning ritual.   those cowards. allowing our own smiles to send butterflies down our spines if our lovers forgot to play their part. those ******** our routines steadying us on the road outside the house into the yard outside the fence into the deli out of your mind into the grind all forming like some rapid fire kiss of motion where emerging and departing become inseparable lovers. and we cherish this sort of alchemy where our paints emerge as paintings, where our words turn into poems that string along melodies into song for the pulsing of life echoes within calmly waiting to emerge from the gilded cage we are meant to burst open

Emergence as Rebellion
This techno— logical revolution is nothing but our evolution, a bio— logical institution founded for the reason we strive toward & expressed in the singularity that pulls forward— the infinite alchemy @thesoulofourbeing wants us to accept it, connect it, & let it be. This sim— plicity just might be as simple as we want, as beautiful as we want, & as perfect as we are. Dance with life & death in the moment, for now is the time to thank your being for existing, & listening to the logic of it all.

Above the caldera at Yellowstone, a brittle soil-rock crust caps a lake of liquid fire with only fumaroles and roiling geysers to stay its upward ****** One errant step is all it takes to breach that mantle's fragile seal - spelling death by fire to any hapless wanderer who fails to guard his path. Fragile calderas also roil buried in darkest hollows of our psyches - brewed of failures, slights and fears dissolved in molten pools of self-consuming misery. To dress and salve our wounds we sow gardens of reconciliation within with beauty, trust and reason and bow to gods of grace and solace. But a despot’s studied eye knows just how to tap our fragile crusts, releasing acrid lava flows from pools where fear and rage reign hot and reason has no district. Sisters and brothers of our flesh I pray we find a holy and transforming alchemy to convert our heat to light and shield our sacred calderas from enemies that stalk us from within. July, 2006, revised December, 2014, 2015 and 2018 Robert Charles Howard

Sacred Calderas (repost)
Topaz dreams and fire flowers Find their way into Shadows and streams In the space between Our hearts and minds Seams of alchemy Blowing stars into birds To touch our courageous Sunlit beams Dripping Kissing We Keep Running from our light Praying that we’ll stay Painting colors oh so bright In the emotions we display Flying We are a painting in one another A brush stroke full of hope A paradox of intimately curious Wings that have found a way to cope Building a birdhouse home On the backs of each other Bones and sacred stones A paradox of intimately curious Wild tornadoes Embracing We walk in dark we walk in day With footsteps often clumsy And telepathy is not as easy as Psychics will convey Your hair is made of flowers Or at least it seems that way Our hearts are painted gold close to The way the yellow birds that play Around us when we stand Glowing in our space Exclusively Beneath the tree We made Where Amen’s tears The sun god Rain Around our love Rushing in rushing out Breathing in breathing out Hold me close push me away Both of us praying the other One will stay Kneeling Pray We are a painting in one another A brush stroke full of hope A paradox of intimately curious Wings that have found a way to cope Building a birdhouse home On the backs of each other Bones and sacred stones A paradox of intimately curious Wild tornadoes This is our butterfly parade © tHE tERRY tREE

Birdsong
A fruit, tasting truly different, it was what I needed, because in every bite, it satiated my desire, inexpressible I climbed to the top branch of the fruit tree and plucked the most sun drenched juicy one gleaming. But it didn't put out the fire raging in my heart, though the sweet fruit made me withdraw and be quiet for a short while and then I went in search of another when it dawned on me that it's a rare root, with magical effects, that the nomads collect from hidden woods, and it is the stuff used at the  dead of night for alchemy the chemical work that makes even the cheapest metal gold! I went seeking a girl,who was described in revelations-- her bewitching beauty, haunting eyes and the songs she sung promised many things to my heart and I couldn't sleep after the time I met  fleetingly, that seductive dame. She was from a world different, her heart was unlike any one else's I have known, yet I told her I still do search, as it was a puzzle still, why beauty beacons me ! The black forest winds and waters, the flowers everywhere, I needed to be alone with myself, when my heart stirred, heard a little bird chirping that said" You make me calm, where did you find the poem you just read aloud?" Suddenly I have woken up from the dream I had fallen into, eyes lit with beauty, munching a fruit, my favorite book of poetry in hand,I went to my love, to read it aloud to her and mull the beauty together, get rejuvenated.
