{10w} Better mediums for my poems:
There's a tree over there that waits for its dreamer. *I have survived many. And lost much but to tell all would encumber several human spans because I have lived and longed. I have learned and yearned. I have waited. At the train station, where existence can only be fulfilled via a spiritual connection. Bounded by roots that twist and secure Soon to be bonded with thoughts Floating through the sky, riding the air waves, see-through till caught in a spider's web, or something like it. And imaginary gets real. Take in the matter Scrub the void with scrounged emotions and colors Pour in materials of lint and string. Mediums with no particular conductance, but taught it tight and strum till the vibrations reverberate and bring your idea to life in my wings Because you are my dreamer. And I am your catcher. Hung on a wooden peg, in your study. Waiting for the day you pick me up and all your dreams tumble out and materialize and you realize* who you are.

Oh, how the mighty art fallen Lucifer, son of the morning star Behooved by manner of thy own devices How pompous thou hadst become to refuse to bend thy knee to man It was pride that filled thee to burst Had it not been but a few millenia later Even your knee would have bent to the King of Glory Whenst He did stoop down to the level of man Even you wouldst have cried out "Lord, Lord wouldst thou not take upon thyself my raiment of glory? Clothe yourself as a king, not as a commoner." Were it so much that us being made of dirt and you of fire that your proudness could render thee blind to our beauty as endowed by our shared Creator? Though our mediums be different, were the Crafter's hands not the same? Wouldst thou haft only humbled thyself, a different world we could have I pity and thank thee, oh fallen one For showing me how not to be

How the Mighty Art Fallen
Always there, Justin Tyme.  He's a good friend of mine. This morning I went into the kitchen and yelled "you're toast!" and then I ate it. A lovely response to a question:  "Does a bear **** in the woods?" I reply, "What about polar bears???" When people say, "Jesus is holy." Do you think he cringes? My girlfriend told me that I had scruples. I suddenly became scared and made a doctor’s appointment for an STD check. What did Ernie say when Bert asked to get ice cream? “Sure Bert.” I find it interesting when people say, "It's the quiet ones you have to "worry'' about. I believe it's the ones who blend in you have to worry about. "Awkward Silence" ?? What is so awkward about silence??? I believe people are awkward, not silence. ................................................... I need some bliss so,  I'm going to be ignorant. Along with his three Peeps, Hershey Kisses the Tootsie Roll Midgets. To display their different mediums of art, the sky is the Gods exhibit and we are the critics. For the Nondreamers: You may look down on me as If I appear to have my head in the clouds. Note to self: When you look up at the sky, I'm looking down on you. Some say I'm cheesy...may be that I'm just Krafty. I saw a sign on the freeway that said 'Exercise daily and walk with Jesus.' So I did. Jesus and I walked together laughing and smiling all the way to the lake front, but he kept walking...Then it dawned on me,  I forgot my aqua shoes. "I tend to add a hint of lemon while preparing my sought after traditional Christmas goose."   Here's a hint, don't ruin the hint. Ask a person with a lisp to say thimble and symbol...it sounds the same. We are all artists who never put ourselves out for display. Empty thoughts filled with absence. What's on my mind is nothing, but what's inside is pure bliss. I'm existing in the nonexistent. God needs glasses and hearing aids. Last night she nailed me harder than Jesus! (too soon)?? "I would be more than happy to give you an external hard drive." "Ah, give or take.'' I'm confused...what do I do?? Good Friday??? Good God! That's terrible.  Put me on a cross and I'll tell you how "good" my day is...maybe we should consider revising the name of this holiday? I'm a conductor who's lost his train of thought.

Stored up enough, but the energy now takes on its own purpose. If only I could draw; I'd create picture books on exactly what the ending looks like. Rough sketches left collecting for many months, before I ever once thought of putting color to them. The why, would be as mind trancing as tracing catch phrases into the many levels of dust accumulated. I'd write something so cliché, like, "With this oily finger I remove the collection of time." or, "With this flesh ensconced utensil, I cut through time." I'll think myself so clever, that I'd forget where I left off, and distract myself again with writing. A small recluse emotion of mine objects viciously, but my attention to every words incentive laced meaning would leave the visual to again rest unchanged, not colored. So's the plight of one who likes to think himself an artist. There's that scandalous narcissist again just waiting to ****** you up, reminding you just how beautiful your words are, and how small in intellect those who don't get it are. Upon that shelf your pictures sit. I can only write as a narrator, because our "philosopher," "philanthropist of word volley, our genius of word play," is once again too caught up in the descriptors to finish the real picture. Not that this idea will stand the test of time, but I do believe more writers will commit suicide, selfishly of course. Oh, the tragedy, the malady of writing so enigmatically that no one gets your "deep soul." While upon that shelf, within a fiber of your overrun writer's ego, there's a drawing begging to be finished, colored, maybe even shared. But just where does it reside? Did the alternate you place it in plain sight, simply so it wouldn't be found? If it's too early it just can't be worth it, can it? He'll have to learn to put down the pen, rid himself of the whiteout, the erasers, set up an easel, squeeze out some paint, and realize there are other mediums where there aren't mistakes, misinterpretations. Only perfect imagery through wispy wrist, sweeping arm, no words, images are now your letter blocks to construct with. Brushes, and all manners of paint your pen. Stop being so foolish "Writer man," if your ego clings too sharply to words, simply remind it, "This could be another pen name." "...I love that idea, what would it be?" "Narcissist Ugly." "So caught up, I forget I'm tethered to nothing, but doubt."

temples of time coloring my hands my apparatus for creation of things seen in the mind's eye catch what falls from the sky inside juxtapose yourself for once make yourself symmetrical we are a continuity of memories we are a one of many chains of events my protons my codons copies self similar life creating life an ever sprouting flower and waiting on the next turn is one more glimpse at the great mystery think large you are spiraling towards an event horizon every end result of every action will be held on the surface of a point of no return what do you do? with your drop of a drop of a drop of a drop of a drop of a drop of time in an ocean? well for starters learn to swim then remember you're water go towards the shadow of true beauty an arrow of eros to guide your shine light in the sky catching an eye eros in the wind ethos in the mind body aligned i'm not confined except the lack of ethos in my mind and the lack of eros in my heart and the lack of courage in my will find it in everything around you. As the mediums between ideas and sensations we have a responsibility for that which the gods can only be objects of. And we carry it like wishes on the wind towards the point of no return never forgotten, never gone to begin with.

Eros Ethos
All it takes to be a Mystic is to be willing to take mental risks for a chance at greater understanding; All it takes to be a Mystic is to delve into the Void, come back with some new thing and share that thing with the World; All it takes to be a Mystic is to be sensitive to one's own Path reminding others of theirs; All it takes to be a Mystic is to not be afraid to defy your Time, peers and Culture to bring forth the Divinity inherent in everything; All it takes to be a Mystic is not not be deterred by what you are told, but instead to be guided by what you feel truest in yourself; All it takes to be a Mystic is to be able to interpret and take things symbolically, *Mythos and Logos*, synesthetically creating a new mutual Reality; All it takes to be a Mystic is to be willing and able to be a Prism for the Divine; to purify the Mirror of your being; All it takes to be a Mystic is to be Artistic; Creative and Imaginative, not that the Mystic must be an Artist, or that any Artist is a Mystic, but that the Mystic is most naturally expressed through the various Artistic mediums; To be an example for the masses of just how the many are One as One is truly the many and thus All is Divine: How the Universe itself and all it's inhabitants are the expressions reflections and manifestations of the Godself; An illusion, A Dream: **Godself and self is One.** -- All is a Chapel of Sacred Mirrors divided by Mind into Self and Other, but all is truly Godself: Collective Unconscious and Personal Conscious, Brahman and Ātman, Godself and Self; One in the same. Tat tvam asi. All it takes to be a Mystic is to be willing and able to look inward and learn: Godself and Self; One in the Same.

The Fox sisters of Rochester lived in a haunted house. A spirit there was stirring That was probably not a mouse. Spirits rapped upon the walls and on the window panes. The sisters Fox would rap right back according to their claims. The Foxes were sensations, The Belles of Halloween Their Séances well attended By the credulous, T’would seem. Spirit fever gripped the land With rapping on a table (Maggie Fox was double jointed And the whole thing was a fable.) It’s hard to sell your real estate when it’s a haunted home. But when spooks rap, rap right back You’ll never be alone.

Mediums, well done
and oddly enough, H is the only letter in the alphabet that can accommodate vowels the easiest, and subsequently laughter. well m can too, but it's more of a jolly hmm in between sudden outbursts of h and co. and on Sunday i get to read about a prince moaning quote: 'at home on my arse'... oi oi ***** Harry, where the magnum? call on Clint Klein and head into the eastern woods! 'there be a bowl of spaghetti there waiting for ya' the leprechaun said. ah a job, ah a family, ah George the usurper of attention seeking girlies... 10 years in the army, and then bust, using a Ouija board to stop being employed by McDonald's; but hey! it's Sunday... can't a price have his day?               god, this humour is so cheap                        it's almost gagging                                   for canned laughter,              but it ain't getting any, shame,    and double shame for Fawlty Towers using it, whatnot and what care for all that "famous"                   intelligent humour of the British ballot box,     supposedly... if that **** is intelligent & funny why use                   such horrid precautions (psst... laziness)? slapstick does it for me, means i can be intelligent in other mediums.

It's a constant battle. I'm finding shells on my floor, and a flood of defeat. They got me again. They tore up my flag; and flattened my heart that scoped out nonsense. I'm getting into fist fights with the mirror. This world doesn't matter to me. My bleeding nose and horrid mind are too naive for you to think that I am free; breaching a shadow too small to cover me. Mediums hover me, and you call to connect with me. Against my brain; and induced will. Against reality to assist a thrill-

Your mind is on the moon and your heart is the sun The guilt of yesterday beating down in waves that leave me floating helplessly in your atmosphere Without a helmet i am hopeless No guidance as my thoughts wander through time and space through no mediums of significance If only i could see your face. Embrace for impact The lust for landing Closure Solid ground To feel safe and sound This world we create for ourselves This interstellar wonderland Lets lose our way And save it for a rainy day Find each other again in the midst of a storm And our love is reborn

Interstellar Wonderland
Even now, as we lie here, heartbeats like a metronome for the coming storm, I write songs in my head for you. And though my voice will never sing them, they are the soundtrack of your kiss. Each record scratch on my heart like a pressed vinyl love letter. Shaping my sinking chest into drum skins that my pulse beats against. If I were covered in magic dust, you would be my happy thought. And all my childish notions of what it means to be romantic would be written down the sides of Chianti bottles in melted wax, like an oak. And in that bottle we would keep our hungry mouths. And still I find my heart adrift. Ripped sails and ropes leading skyward like veins. Split and tattered and stitched haphazardly together, waiting for the lightning to strike twice and bring it to life. My throat a bricked flue, leading to an open mouth, spitting smoke from the torches my heart fears but always seems to carry. And I stretch my spine skyward. Trying to wedge my head back into the clouds but manage only to cast the shadow of an orchid that has begun to lose its color and wilt at the edges of its wingspan. Coming to terms with the idea that it may never be picked. Not even its petals, even numbered like a deck stacked against it that it might lose in a game of being loved and loved not. We want for a little more time. Arm wrestling clock hands into submission with god like fury. Ticking tongues to dampen the prophecy of false mediums. We practice fighting so we may fight for each other. Fight for the greener grass on the other side of the pavement walls we draw our chalk hearts on. The clock tower is a lighthouse. The lighthouse is a windmill. The windmill is a giant. The stories never end. Even now as we lie here, heartbeats like a metronome for the coming storm, I write bed time stories in my head for you.

I listen to different music I read different books I dress in different clothes But I still love you I have different friends I write different poems I date different people But I still love you I wear different cologne I draw with different mediums I play different instruments But I still love you I’ve tried everything I could Everything to change who I am But I’m still falling for you I’m still yours And it’s not fair

"Love is the only poetry there is. All other poetry is just a reflection of it. The poetry may be in sound, the poetry may be in stone, the poetry may be in the architecture, but basically these are all reflections of love caught in different mediums. But the soul of poetry is love, and those who live love are the real poets. They may never write poems, they may never compose any music - they may never do anything that people ordinarily think of as art - but those who live love, love utterly, totally, are the real poets. Religion is true if it creates the poet in you. If it kills the poet and creates the so-called saint, it is not religion. It is pathology, a kind of neurosis garbed in religious terms. Real religion always releases poetry in you, and love and art and creativity; it makes you more sensitive. You throb more, your heart has a new beat to it. Your life is no longer a boring, stale phenomenon. It is constantly a surprise, and each moment opens new mysteries. Life is an inexhaustible treasure, but only the heart of the poet can know it. I don't believe in philosophy, I don't believe in theology, but I believe in poetry." — Osho, Everyday Osho: 365 Daily Meditations for the Here and Now

I believe in poetry
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I'm looking to make murals in your likeness Something that would reflect how truly beautiful your soul is to me Maybe a watercolour based painting or would pastel-coloured chalk do? Should I focus on the brightest hues and play down darker tones?                                                                      But your darker side is the part of you I love most. Let's play with the lighting;                                                shadows and rays make one more aware I'd love to create a backdrop, possibly a place you feel most vulnerable and bared                              The limitless possibilities, the mediums and the inspiration you bring me Perhaps barring your soul is a tad too blasé?                Let's dig deeper and find something more suitable for your mural                                                                                                                                    How about an impression?                                                                                                                                            How I feel about you? Oh my, that is personal...                                                         yet entirely too brilliant to ignore! I could just go on and make a mural that much clearly expresses how I feel about you The way you talk, the way you walk;                                                                 That particular smile and glint in your eyes                                                                           when something intrigues you                                                                               and you're up to no good. Ah, the marvelous mystery I have yet to uncover that is you!                                                                      But the fun is no doubt in trying to capture your essence Ah, here I go prattling on and on about mysteries and emotions, I'll get to work and I'll set up my drafts and display them to you...                                                                           The Mural will be breathtaking. but of course, not as fascinating as you.

A story about a captivating woman I know and care for:       The city was dark and desolate, filled with vermin, decayed. She walked down the different lanes of alternative artistic mediums, listening for a place where her soul would find itself.  Empty dilapidated homes, homes that people seemed to have lived in though there was no sign of them; there were no misplaced lawn gnomes.  There were empty clay pots.       Down a dark alley she found a concave mirror, she stepped into it.  The heavens rumbled and the stars condensed and exploded into black holes and gas giants, the Milky Way sped up its rotation, the sun became brighter, and the Earth was scorched.  Just the order of the day.  Then she stepped out, covered in a sunburst gown, her hair had gone from midnight dark to sunrise bright, she looked back in and smiled.  Just a smirk.  She walked up the dark alley as every step breathed new life into the cold concrete.  The sound of music played.  Flowers and trees sprang up from the cracks, more were created.    She laughed loudly and from her lips beams of light showered forth onto the cold earth.  She flung her hair back and water shot forth from its motion, the streets flooded.  Two men in a boat, one wearing green the other a light lavender came rowing to her.  He asked her, “Which one do you think is asking? Which one do you think believes?”.  She smiled.  Then she awoke, to find herself on her knees, hands together pointed towards heaven.  All she had to do was ask, what music was playing? - Life

Too many mediums. The simplicity of conversation, died today. Died after the eighties, because, the neon lights, and lines of coke, wouldn't last forever. You can't buy a cup of coffee. Take your drink from the counter. Move out of line. There isn't a payphone inside. You couldn't order a large. It's a Starbucks. Ask the homeless man in the bathroom, shooting his dreams, into his arm, if you can borrow his iPhone, to make a call. And **** it all to hell, if he asks you for change. You only have a card. Your piece of mind, comes with a receipt. But give him credit, because he'll take an I.O.U. Light your cigarette with the same hand, holding the coffee. Pass by people that do, and people that do not. Exhaling smoke, some to which is blown, up an *** or two. Today is Tuesday, or Friday, and you have work, or you don't, but right now, you are where you are. At this moment, there aren't any expectations, but your own. And when payphones, become fewer, and fewer, You can take solace in knowing, that calls will come, less frequently. But a business card is mandatory.

Payphones Are For Cynics
She loved to dance, the music didn't matter much It was the feeling, freedom, surrendering, I think it was a way of communicating for her A switch of the hips, tap of the foot or snap of the wrist  Illustrated her innermost feelings I could never read dance So for me it was only ever an obscure but intimate moment shared Spoken words are my tools and I amplified my pointed but spinning feelings often and in person, With no music playing, no time to reflect or poetry to serve as a conduit, She would freeze and struggle in the immediacy of my spoken words, These tools constructed small wonders leaving her still For all the wrong reasons Dissonance grew beneath the roof of these wonders Breaching the walls, always at nightfall, We were slaves to our mediums Our mediums enslaved us   She never knew the steps I was shuffling in were mimicking hers, I didn't know the routine and her music muffled my words leaving them weak,  Hindsight, reason and honesty our last chance to dance and speak.

This one day I was awalkin' down the road, to Chicago, winter o'seventy, worst in thirty years, 'saw this young fella in a army jacket, shiverin', his feet was cold. I walked up and said hello, you don't know me, but I saw your feet was cold. I got some dry socks and bread bags that'll keep'm dry, you can have 'em if you will. He said thank you, sir, real polite, but cold feet is what I'm gettin' past, gettin' over it wit m'mind. A guru taught me. Ain't working is it? I saw your feet was cold. Nah, it ain't, now yah mention it, and I'm hungry. So he bought me a burrito, and I told him about angels, and how some say cold feet are symbolic, one told me once, many's the wish gone awanting for lack of a reason to try. I had cold feet, back then. walkin' to Chicago, tryin' to. Again, wit my mind. And bread bags, this time. Angels, I believe in, they all are helpful as can be, within parameters, y'understand, but evil angels, ain't no such a thing. Not no more any how. Jesus fixed it, came and saw, damright, conquered war by loving and forgiving, All while the Iron-legged montrosity from Italy, was squishin' Jews and Christians in mud that stuck like clay to the Iron-legged beast. Ironic, ain't it? You don't know? Whoa. These are the last days, all the sealed up stuff that lion's den guy got from the angels, messages from YodHeyVodHey, Jesus's our father, from the prayer, on earth as in heaven? There ain't no evil angels in any heaven you ever imagined somebody imagined. Loki, don't count. There's jokers in heaven. Probably. Mark Twain imagined a hellish heaven, but saw no evil angels there. They're mythic materially, literal wills o'the wisp. The idea of evil hybrids, that was then. This now, now angels are all they ever were, messages in the medium. Mediums are something past medium now, hot or cold, media-evil memes can manifest from a mob in the medium, but they are bubbles, right? Professional testers of the patience of the saints, protesting the end of time, so what?

Betting on plays And whether teams could pull it through; Factoring rates given to the risks Versus stats, records, and rankings, Of losses, successes, et cetera. Whether physical or digital, These playful monetary mediums Like domestic feline & bengal tiger. Like dog as like cat, It's a different reaction to them And connection with them Having grown up around them. These paper jaguars & plush lions, So much for the fear of adversity When you're trying to crunch everything. If you're always in the middle Of working through or thinking about something, Punching an equation, Then how can anyone hope To knock you off kilter? It's just another component- Another addition & subtraction, Division & multiplication, To calculate & sum. You've gotta be in it to win it, And you're always just one bet away From winning it big. Making it good Sometimes takes all it can take, And even then you might not Break even. I sense disturbance, See some malign figure, In your line of reason. Yet, through our conversations, No appeal can be made to logic. The calculations offer a grime visage. Play with your heart, play with your gut, As your head will steer you wrong. If you're thinking about it, You're thinking too much. Just lay it on the line, Bet it all, But don't bet too much. Listen, it'll be fine. Tomorrow we can Recoup your loss. The contradictions are lost, The irony was over And you took the under. The spread accomplished Chose the given And you were taking. If something flew You were beneath it.

It began with a question the question was in the holy bible: "Let us make them in our image" the question became the answer who are they and what are we? And whose image is it? And to the stars I went and back into the oceans all the while I was losing people close family and friends they were dying while I was flying How life can be unfair, when we lose people and death cheers These images of us transcending The image itself Reminiscing about the beginning, the nostalgic tears flowing Remembering the dysfunctional Creation family Where brothers fought, a mother caught - in between - the father sad and evil born thereby polarities - negative and positive Worlds fell And an Empire rose, of deformed and malevolent souls In death do we find home? Or do we gravitate where we focus our consciousness? ooh-wee! How can we trust then with a world not promising of peace-men The beloved being the scornful wishing you evil and failure the one you'd die for behind the trigger how far does it stretch then? Do we forgive ourselves when we die? Can we inform the living of the world's lies? Do we get swomped in occupations; possessing mediums and manipulating situations But here have we the living, live, funny how live is an anagram for evil so alive would then be "for evil" trapped in space, time, matter, religion, bodies and uniforms of the system How can we know that the dead have gone to a better place Death a strange thing, if you're alive and you're conscious - it's the same thing the borders of trust wear thin as you get betrayed by your loved one you lose the dead and the living you learn to appreciate those who love you you learn to see beyond and psychic you become you see the traces of one's soul you acknowledge those you can trust... And you stop losing people as your loved ones become everyone.
