in action ,  inaction
in inaction,  action

precarious balance

YOU AND I ARE HERE

higgs boson......pulsation
yinning and yanging

the bed keeps bouncing

UP AND DOWN

creation.....unceasing
apparent sensation
of repetition

apparent sensation
of difference

other than
YIN and YANG

aleph
(alpha)

and

tov
(omega)

centers  of centaurs
and of course the

dragons
( and unicorns)

YOU AND I ARE HERE

in the cornicoupia
in the fertile valley
on the frieght train headin west
huddled gainst the lover's breast

try live awhile then try death

the bed keeps bouncing

UP AND DOWN

YOU AND I ARE HERE

Its a Land with 3 inches of Soil
Sprouts High Voltage Lines, Oil Derriks
And Microwave Towers everywhere
Like a Modern Steel Forest Landscape

The wind is ever present and Unending
Its a Cruel Wind, strips the Paint off of All
At Night the Howling and Humming of
All that steel wire sets your teeth on edge

The wind Strips the electrons from All
Leaving a Negative charge in the Air
Like some Electrical Spirit plagues the Land
Scrambling your thoughts and Actions

Its the Desolation Where Revial Meeting Tents
Flapped in 1930s wind there for Salvation of Souls
The Place where anger flares up from Minds wore down
A Brother gets shot over Drumstick in any given town

At the motel I pace in the Night hounded by the sound
As if I had to witness this Howling wind strip the Ground
Morning coffee I reach for a Styrofoam Cup with the Rolls
It Leaps 5 inches into my hand trying to get away from this Land

A Land of endless wind and sand run across West Texas Like
A Frieght train Whistling and Howling as it Rumbles By
Shaking the Ground with its Passing Through the Town
The Lands Only Salvation is its Blue unending Skies
Thoughts from a Funeral Visit
In a little roadhouse off the beaten tracks is where I did find her.

She was riding with the hells angels till they kicked her out for being to ruff.

And yet at seventeen the way she could down a budweiser and burb hello ******.


Was a site to be held and i thought to myself

as she broke a pool cue over a man's head who played a song she didnt

like I knew i had met the woman of my dreams.


Sure she drank like a fish cussed like a sailor and hit like a frieght train.

But aside from all thoose good qualitys I like in a woman she did have her hang up's.

Its kinda bad when your first date involves knocking over a seven eleven and leading on

the cops on a five state chase.


And Im not bitter she didnt slow down to let me off.

Im mean the road rash wasnt that bad and I needed to drop a couple of pounds

of course it gives a whole new meaning to burning off the pounds.


And when I saw her about two months later I could tell there was something

there as she held a knife to my throat and looked into my blood shot eye's

and said.

Im gonna cut out your tongue out if you dont buy me a beer.


Yes this beer drinking spitfire had me at hey what the ******* lookin at ****** ?

What a true lady indeed.

Yes when i finally came outta a coma after that first night togather i knew.


That i probaly shouldnt drink outta open containers.

Or carry cash or major credit cards.

When going out with a five foot three spifire named Skeeter.
Just a love story with a touch of insanity from your old friend Gonzo

Irish Immigrants found
when they stepped
Onto the Ground,
Their Pockets full of
Donnegal Potatoes.
The Dirt beneath their Nails
Was a Mark of how they'd Failed
Famine and Starving brought them
But the Slurs of the Dublin Micks
From those who Looked Down on them
Determined them to Show off their Pride
Some, teamsters worked horses and Frieght
Some nimble fingers Stitched Linen and Lace
Some Irish tenors the Rage of the Stage
Some with a Swing were the Sting of the Ring
Bringing down Boxers Seasoned Sparring
Fiddlers fiddled and coleens were maids
And through it all Heads held High
Shined the Gleem of Irish Pride
A tribute to my Irish
Not a word, you refuse to speak, you look into my eyes and my heart plunges way to the deep
Not a kiss, nor a smile, no notion you will stay awhile
Do the words "I love you" not say enough
Or were you maybe just to tough
Not saying anything to me
Doesn't change a single thing
Because when I look at you, I can't stop the  s t i n g
You can't stop my love for you
It's like a thousand pound frieght train
Does this thing we had, have to go down in vain
Or should I just let it rain
Let the tears
F
   a
l
    l
And not answer any calls and maybe just disapear
What does it take to get your love.
Love
When it hits you like a ton of bricks
Wham!

You're down for the count
1.2.3...
You're up!

Your eyes rise to the sky
only to catch a falling star
for a split second

Whoosh!
Then  it's gone

You walk away
beat
then you see your old buddy Jack
"Jack!"
you shout out
and he shouts back too

You go to the local coffee shop
only to find what you ran away
from

You  look to your left
and in the corner
with his sometimes girlfriend
is a young punk
all dressed in black

They sit and shoot the breeze
about nothing at all
or even in particular

You walk further
and chat with the owner
about old times and good coffee

You proceed to sit
on the ragged and torn old couch
that reminds you of a couch
your parents once had back when
Kool & The Gang were cool
and whenever you heard
Earth, Wind, & Fire
it really was a celebration

Your old buddy Jack
sits along side of you
and you talk of good times
and lost loves
you'll never see again

Then all of a sudden
Whoosh!!!!
It hits your ear like a frieght train
The cool sounds of Miles Davis
trump-trump-trumpeting
like no one else can

and then you think
"You know Jack, he sounds like I feel"
and you move on to talk about
the emotion and soul of jazz

As you sip your last sip of
coffee you remember what you
were looking for
Love

That funny and mysterious thing
that everyone longs for but
few truly have

So you hit the back streets
that are all but unfamiliar to
you as a kid

and you keep searching....

You keep searching
for that crazy thing
called love

But the question remains
"Did you find it Jack?"
Jimmy Desire Mar 2011
What if I kissed you?
would it be everything we'd hoped for
or would it shatter our dreams
because it seems this one moment could change everything
so what if we let whatever happens
happen
so that we'll have no regrets
and if we fail
we would've given it our best
so when night falls
I can finally put my mind to rest
instead of wondering,
"What If I Kissed You"

Better yet,
What if I told you I missed you?
would it bring up warm memories of the past
or would you disregard it
believing it to be untrue...
Fed up with how dull words sound so good
but never happen to shine through
I don't blame you
the fear was crippling,
it was like having stage frieght
I wasn't sure how to show you...
but you did
and you tried teaching me
but I was too blind to see
that what I wanted I had right in front of me
[sigh]
the ritual was so casual
that it seemed to lose its meaning
I just didn't want it to be meaningless to you
when it means everything to me...
Mayah Seals Mar 2022
Exhaustion. Like a frieght train that rattles me to my core, as blistering as the tunnel it travels.
This wind whistles and chills my bones.
Who am I?
Elated and deflated. I shake and scorch the land with each footfall of a once great sun.
This fire now blazes and burns my veins.
Who am I?
A never ending search on the journey to who I wish to be.
Leaving petals in my wake. Most beautiful petals; with the most poisionous tears.
Who am I?
Peace and Tranquility. I seek it in and out as a drug to calm the raging storms behind my lost eyes.
Who am I?
Droplets and storms. Caressing my face and tending to the raging flames.
Their waves wash away the leaking poisons and catch the raging winds where gentle rivers float my spirit away.
Until one day I land upon
Who I am.
Beautiful cleansing rains

DC raw love Jan 2015
i have crimson eye's
in moonless skies

i bleed from my consciene
i steal from the dead

i play with fear
i run with hate

i never think it's over
it's never to late

i creep through the night
i hide during the day

i play these games
of frieght and hate

i make people cry
and wish them for dead

i'll give up a life
because i'm already dead

i'll travel the world
just to find you

i'll teach you sin
just to know you

your life will go nowhere
your feelings will be dead

you'll love my ways
they always do

i'll be your conscience
i'll teache you my ways

you never think
that you learn my ways

but you came to me
not i to you

Frieght train

Busted in the night

The old hotel

The hobo is dead in the alley

The politician is alive in Washington

Killers are loose

She whispers soft poems in my ear

Some stupid **** about her razor blade

Child

My love is stronger than what ?

I would BE

Killers roam the alleys with guns

Poets write stupid **** about razor blades

I called my mom
To ask if this is normal
Ive been with you
For 3 months
And im sorta infatuated
And i like you more everyday
And i admire you
But i dont love you yet
Everyone says thats normal
But love has always hit me like a freight train
And im wondering how much time
I should spend waiting on the track
With you
What if it never comes
My mom just reexplained insanity and said
And how have those frieght train loves
Worked out for you?
Fair point

Thru rainy days

I see her in 1000 mystic stories

In the darkness of 1000 strange places

)(

With the same bright eyes

And face

""

she been around a long  time

Same as me

""

The sweet Indian chant fills the night

With naked visions of soft hands

On the holy breast or breath

Of the sacred mother

Of the sacred sister

Of the sacred daughter

The light falling thru everywhere

)(

( just as an aside --

Arent you all sick of the violent imagry

The name calling and race baiting

That permeate every aspect if our discourse ? )

)(

The frieght train thru the cold night

On the red engineer's car

The owl sits in rigid silence

A vulture circles from so very high

:/:

She my love knows every boy

Each father

Each little brother

She knows all shadows

And  all who live within



She gonna be around forever

~~

She shall hold you close

And take you home



The rest is up to you

True Freedom

A song by

THE 4 GIRLS

;;;

long branches cross the sky

Hidden dreams .....

The day gently moves along


We can follow if we want

We can follow if we want


The frieght train the early dawn

The wide eyed girl the gentle joy

The simple gaze from the pure hearted boy

Tomorrow's world depends on you

Sing for free

Send your poems on the wind

Awaken every single one

With visions of the fertile earth

In its place that's called YOUR HEART

Over there a child born

Over there an old man dies

You cry or don't cry as you choose

The river runs to the sea

No
Matter what you do or think

Good good people

Good good world


Simple is the silence



It is the home of god

Naked railroad track

The **** of the dream

Raw with the poets' blood


She never ever got home






****** poem ink in veins

Mountains violated like a high school girl

She ***** herself just to be accepted

By the poets of the candy hearts

"""

Watching true lovers cry

Is the written poem here

we cut our wrists and putrid word appear

Everybody wants to die



Oh your frieght train ***** love

Hopelessness in raw disguise

She bared a breast to the breeze

she looked so beautiful

And tried to fly




Hail
Bright spirit

On the rise


Eternal vision  


You and I

Eternal solitude and grace

Beyond the ***** need for praise
