"trances" poems
En l’an trentiesme do mon aage Que toutes mes hontes j’ay beues… Pipit sate upright in her chair Some distance from where I was sitting; Views of the Oxford Colleges Lay on the table, with the knitting. Daguerreotypes and silhouettes, Her grandfather and great great aunts, Supported on the mantelpiece An Invitation to the Dance. . . . . . I shall not want Honour in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney And have talk with Coriolanus And other heroes of that kidney. I shall not want Capital in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Alfred Mond. We two shall lie together, lapt In a five per cent. Exchequer Bond. I shall not want Society in Heaven, Lucretia Borgia shall be my Bride; Her anecdotes will be more amusing Than Pipit’s experience could provide. I shall not want Pipit in Heaven: Madame Blavatsky will instruct me In the Seven Sacred Trances; Piccarda de Donati will conduct me. . . . . . But where is the penny world I bought To eat with Pipit behind the screen? The red-eyed scavengers are creeping From Kentish Town and Golder’s Green; Where are the eagles and the trumpets? Buried beneath some snow-deep Alps. Over buttered scones and crumpets Weeping, weeping multitudes Droop in a hundred A.B.C.’s

A Cooking Egg
My pulse keeps time with the leaky rusted faucet of my bath tub. Tiny ripples, like cold shockwaves through my body, wake me from deadly trances. My streamofthoughts race the fan blades on my ceiling. Eyes chasing like mice on wheels, retreating to nowhere fast. Pebbles thrown, bouncing off well walls like your voice. Gently it screams, like whispers in silence, “These things take time”. Never reaching the bottomless black. Just white noise, a sea foam screen.

Self Acceptance
A woman who writes feels too much, those trances and portents! As if cycles and children and islands weren't enough; as if mourners and gossips and vegetables were never enough. She thinks she can warn the stars. A writer is essentially a spy. Dear love, I am that girl. A man who writes knows too much, such spells and fetiches! As if erections and congresses and products weren't enough; as if machines and galleons and wars were never enough. With used furniture he makes a tree. A writer is essentially a crook. Dear love, you are that man. Never loving ourselves, hating even our shoes and our hats, we love each other, precious, precious. Our hands are light blue and gentle. Our eyes are full of terrible confessions. But when we marry, the children leave in disgust. There is too much food and no one left over to eat up all the weird abundance.

The Black Art
i just really hate the term puppy love. makes me sound like i'm way over my head simply caught up with the clouds high above and not gonna stop myself till i'm dead rather, it's a cherry blossom romance beautiful, brilliant and illuminating sweet and pleasant, putting me into trances a fire in me so strongly burning. i hate the word crush with burning passion makes this love feel fragile and soft-boiled i know myself well, there's no confusion at that point in time, my heart's fully-booked let's call it a sakura rendezvous: where raw, feral love comes into full bloom. burning bright, though eventually withering: 'twas an embodiment of maturity.

cherry blossom romance
. *Rider On The Storm of trances, LA Woman led through ritual dances. A Poet just Waiting for the Sun, when The End was where it all begun. The Spy trying to Break on Through, a native sharing his Shamans Blues. A Ship of Fools tinged with mirth, destined Not To Touch The Earth. Mr Mojo Risin', the acid dream rover, taking rest When The Music's Over.* © Pagan Paul (04/12/16) James 'Jim' Douglas Morrison (Poet and Rock Star) 8 December 1943 – 3 July 1971.

Mr Mojo Risin'
Hypotonic collusions Rising in osmotic lesions An eruptive soul reversion Emissions of embered logs Each lightening with a glow A youthful straw of clemency Pollinated sandals, handled Gripping the flesh in vessels Houses of lost and unreal dreams Vicarage gardens of suppression Masticated in delegated abstractions A surmise of death and redistributions Each a beat rise, slide on frosty ice Un-enveloped in seasons of erosion Delusional commotions sprawled In the dance of the ecstatic programming The body waved and led in hypnosis ********** with the intangible essence To make sense a revised tense,I fence Straying in lenient lunacy to fields afar A merry to ferry the phoenix dance Rattles shaking in transit translations Drums pause settling in finesse pond A coitus of dimensional valour and vice

Hypnotic Trances
I have wearied of grand romances Of deep sighs and swooning trances Of doting gentlemen’s advances And all manner of courtship play I am tired of love confessions And of dizzied, dazed professions And of unrestrained obsessions I grow sicker day by day I once dreamed of adoration Went quite mad for veneration Laughing, flirting with temptation The queen in Camelot The lonely, lovely Guinevere Dainty-masked with girlish fear But when King Arthur wasn’t near Dreaming of Sir Lancelot These days I want no noble knight Despite my seeming helpless plight I wish to set myself aright And tread upon the ground Yet here I am, pedestal-high Too close to the dazzling sky As my life keeps passing by And boys keep running round I’ve let myself grow much too proud Drew up arrogance from the crowd Heard the cheering, bright and loud The queen in Camelot And though I had my faithful Sir Still my heart was all astir With flying fancies, all a blur For Guinevere and Lancelot These fantasies have grown too old I’d rather let my bed grow cold For I have wearied of being told “You are mine to keep” Men have tired me to the core Left me sad and sick and sore And have turned into such a chore And I’d much rather sleep What blasphemy for a maiden fair To toss such doting to the air To turn away without much care Though queen in Camelot But I have withered, I have tired Felt as if my brain’s been mired And find not Arthur much desired Nor dashing Lancelot Is it so bad to want respite From endless longing, day and night? This constant charm becomes too trite With ever staler tone I only wish to rest a while Recover from incessant guile Forget the weight of lovers’ trial And simply be alone

This is my favorite dress. I bought it from a store I managed on Haight Street in San Francisco when I was 24. It was a sample, one of a kind and I felt like a fairy in it. It required no bra and I required no restrictions. We were a good match for each other. Some might say it looks delicate as the lace flutters around my thighs, but, I know. This dress sat on sidewalks chain smoking cigarettes in the Castro. It danced in drug induced trances with new and old friends where we lived like sardines. This dress moved to NEw York City with me and we endured cat-calls and harsh words. A casting director called me plain in this dress. He explained, to a room full of people, wasn’t it amazing how my talent shown so bright while I was so very plain. And as I walked along side Madison Square Park I saw myself shining in car reflections and my dress told me I was beautiful, and I knew it was right, and that man was insane. In New Orleans I was invited to a party and I went because I didn’t know anyone. I was New. I wore my favorite dress and as I put it on I thought of the cold California beach breeze grazing my underwear throwing up my skirt, I thought of that mad man calling me plain, and I thought how scary it is to go to this party alone. I rode my bike in the humid air and I felt my pink slip clutch my waist. I felt safe. I sang a song out load. I felt like me. And when I got there you were there. You looked at me like I wasn’t just my dress or what was under it. You told me one truth and one lie and it made me smile. And now when I turn to my favorite dress like an old friend, for comfort or confidence, you are in its history too.

Thou wast that all to me, love, For which my soul did pine— A green isle in the sea, love, A fountain and a shrine, All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers, And all the flowers were mine. Ah, dream too bright to last! Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise But to be overcast! A voice from out the Future cries, “On! on!”—but o’er the Past (Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies Mute, motionless, aghast! For, alas! alas! with me The light of Life is o’er! “No more—no more—no more”— (Such language holds the solemn sea To the sands upon the shore) Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree, Or the stricken eagle soar! And all my days are trances, And all my nightly dreams Are where thy dark eye glances, And where thy footstep gleams— In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams! Alas! for that accursed time They bore thee o’er the billow, From love to titled age and crime, And an unholy pillow! From me, and from our misty clime, Where weeps the silver willow!

To One In Paradise
Over the hills, From mountain to mountain, He dances and hunts and roams. Playing his pipes, And drinking the wine, He dances and hunts and roams. Horned God, ***** God, Dancing God, Drinking God, Hooves upon the hills. A cave in the hills, The heart of his fair Arcadia, He dances and hunts and roams. Demeter he found, And then he told Zeus, He dances and hunts and roams. Horned God, ***** God, Dancing God, Drinking God, Hooves upon the hills. In fair Arcadia, He stood feeding his hounds, He dances and hunts and roams. Artemis came, And he gave her ten pairs, He dances and hunts and roams. Horned God, ***** God, Dancing God, Drinking God, Hooves upon the hills. Visions and dreams, In trances and dances of ecstasy, He dances and hunts and roams. Fair Apollo came, And learned prophecy at his feet, He dances and hunts and roams. Horned God, ***** God, Dancing God, Drinking God, Hooves upon the hills. Bragging and boasting, He plays his pipes and he dances, He dances and hunts and roams. Apollo comes challenging, And the mountain god liked lyres, He dances and hunts and roams. Horned God, ***** God, Dancing God, Drinking God, Hooves upon the hills. Echo he loved, He sang and he wooed, He dances and hunts and roams. Scorning his love, His panic tore her to shreds, He dances and hunts and roams. Horned God, ***** God, Dancing God, Drinking God, Hooves upon the hills. Youngest of gods, But oldest by far, He dances and hunts and roams. Father of all, And forever the Child, He dances and hunts and roams.

Hovering pass the city lights my mind lies awake full of the psychedelic treats you offer latched on the various trances I felt I make sure it was you and not the demon who awoke as a ball of thunderous energy feeding the insatiable desire for vices and sin As the body grows lapse we know things are about to fall apart leaving us starving for more and voiding the reality we're in Our minds retry to go back while our souls will forever be lost in the wonder provided by the mysterious ghost of acid and MDMA

Coloring Extremities
I've always been somewhat Autistic, ADHD too More than a little manic and OCD I've had the fever Occupying me I've heard the murderous rage And it was me I have had my periods of Schizophrenia Paranoia Psychic warfare in the ether He's looking at me I keep looking at him Wondering why he's looking at me I've got that DID Going into trances The poet he writes these tomes, Waking up in strange places That PTSD Get startled very easily Anxiety and depression Are you kidding? What's a day without 'em? The vice is nice Abundance to depletion, The parking lot walk   Polysubstance abuse has had it's use Fetishes phillias Electric brain all light up Run amok Decades of misery Decades of mastery Had them all A walking DSM That would be me Everything which is human inside you is inside me Hanging out with the human condition my old friend and me Trying one more time to figure it all out, one more time.

The Psychotherapist Blues
Well Annie now you've done it through your gyrations,  characterizations imitations a spot of light of spirit flipped out into the ether like some kind of spiritual dandruff all crystal prisms twinkling stars shook off of you and floated through my eyes and ears and penetrated and infused my pumping heart through my circulatory system snapping synaptic changes, touching those places of dreams and trances. Well Annie now you've done it all night long with images of Olive Oil and no Popeye I have become a sailor man unmoored from the safety of the slip dragging the anchor until the tether breaks and find myself floating on some Jungian sea of the unconscious far away from the shore. Well Annie now you've really done it - How will this all play out when walking down the faux marble hallways as I roll up one wave of imitation and down another in clients/secretaries/billing clerks deranged psychiatrists stories and all of this reality grabbing trying ranting riffing how is this all going to play out when strange guerilla theatre erupts on backwards in administrators offices and leadership committee meetings when I spread my  legs as my grand opening in carrot top hangings and turn to clients offer them too this spirit spark of courage. Well you've really done it this time Annie when my door is locked and pagers are begging for my attention but I will be in the room at that desk throwing rules, regulations and my professional reputation to the current winds of unwinding truths and soulful stories. When they turn to me and ask for my forgiveness in their true confession or when I shift shapes to the big onion when everyone who wanders near weeps when they ask me for that magic sentence to make it all okay or write a treatment plan or just a hand on the shoulder; as they begin to talk like rooms of old echoes- I will tell them that will cost them extra. You've done it now Annie forever in my minute little world rocked the boat that spirit like the butterfly wings causing the hurricane of courage. You've done it now Olive Oil Annie I have found my spinach and freedom cannot be far behind...

Hints of maple kiss each of your highlander grog fingertips. The smell of her shampoo pierces & permeates throughout your living room, lingering still to this day, on your pillow. You told her you'd make a perfume that smells like the car heater on long drives home for Christmas. Aromas of her laundry detergent still live in your spine like LSD. When you turn your neck a certain way you fall back into trances of her & 1997. Vick's Vaper Rub, NyQuil Cough Syrup breath, with a 104 degree fever. She sobbed when her last sea monkey died You called her cartographer. Intricate trails of herself connecting each board of your apartment floor. Charted long ago when her candle still burned scents of warmth. The art of burning, a front the fire place of maple logs where you told her to "Let go."

Lost Poem
The it upstairs thinks it's God, But it isn't. Man or Woman, It comes in a thousand genders. It's only has one mind, Its own pleasure, The power of Now, Well, that's what it's all about. The cost, Well, that's no problem. It begs It borrows It steals It pleads It lies to you straight faced. If you bleed, When the consequences are paid, It says, "Not me" "We'll deal with it later" "One more time" "One more round" "One more rodeo" "One last time for the road." It's pretty smug most of the time, Can't move your arms or legs, But whips up anxiety if you say, "No. " It'll show you resistance is futile. Though it only hangs around for little while, It'll let you know. It speaks to you in the third person voice - You deserve it You need it You've been so good. It'll talk you into trances strange self-destructive dances, Twist you upside down, Inside out. It ain't God, Somebody needs to talk to it soon, Let it know, These days of running the show are numbered, There's more to life than this slumber Numbness has had its abundance, Talk to it soon While there's still time. A whisper, though, says something different, "How's about one more time. "

The Addictive Voice
Drums in the darkness: a jungle clearing fetish masks and gibbering lips grass skirts, headdresses, face-paint leering nocturnal trances, gyrating hips. A medicine man, by spirits possessed, grunts while the powers invade his mind; the dancers shriek, as if distressed by a presence in shadow not yet defined. It’s only Rock’n’Roll

Opening Bars: Sympathy for the Devil
I don't blame people for hating me I hate myself sometimes I just hope they give me a chance I give myself chances Until I start giving glances And move through playful prances Others witness my glancing dances And knock me out my ****** trances I wonder what I am My eyes look at my hands The wise watch the sands Of time that slowly count down Until we're not tyranny bound In this empire of circular hate Trapped on this circular crate It gets smaller as we push inward When the solution is the inverse These ideologies keep us from expansion Like those that knock me out my trances But please give humanity more chances A murderer stands before his judge The judge says: Death... Why do you weep? It's just one word My sympathy isn't reached For I am the herd The murderer responds: Sorry I must weep These tears I can't keep When that word sums up my future and my past It evokes memories and desires engraved in brass As a society we're constantly filling ourselves As a species we're constantly killing ourselves When knowledge is a sphere That needs to be maximized We need to look in the mirror And continue asking why But we must start in the middle To fill up the sphere Until we can solve this riddle And I can keep tears And we can be peers Who live on this sphere With nothing to fear

Sphere
[Dedicated to Horace Sheridan-Bickers] A vision of flushed faces, shining limbs, The madness of the music that entrances All life in its delirium of dances! The white world glitters in the void, and swims Through the infinite seas of transcendental trances. Yea! all the hoarded seed of all my fancies Bursts in a shower of suns! The wine-cup brims And bubbles over; I drink deep hymns Of sorceries, of spells, of necromancies; And all my spirit shudders; dew bedims My sight -these girls and their alluring glances! Their eyes that burn like dawn's lascivious lances Walking all earth to love -to love! Life skims The cream of joy. If God could see what man sees, (Intoxicating Nellies, Mauds and Nances!) I see Him leave the sapphrine expanses, The choir serene and the celestial air To swoon into their sacramental hair!

Au Bal
. I choose to breathe for every breath is free Calmly bound of tempted drizzled fears Slow dancing on the desperate dying wind Placing endless hope against the flow This does come beyond iron gates of broken trances to sing undying wishes upon deaf ears Fractured in meanings and senses known, these wrinkles form a favored mask Donned in apprehension of a wilted feeling Sleek and slender, along a poisoned vine they grow Challenging in endless streams of sorted need Stead fast with chains of charmed tethered truth Cartoon headstones with scribbled crayon names cast darker shadows beneath the edges of sanity Ripped and tattered these empty voices scream my name in echoes bearing nothing more than seen As I cry my tears sprout wings and flee from my face I fall to my knees finding only the jagged earth to rest Desires cling to the massive arbors of life Dreams falter along a winding creviced cliff Nothing laughs like the air upon my sorrowed face and I choose to breathe for every breath is free

Cartoon headstones with scribbled crayon names
Perhaps the most positively uninteresting tragedy Is the story of flawed, impeded love. For whenever I venture, strive, endeavor— To exit my haven of solitary isolation I’m devoid of any bravery. Though I wish I could say “People scare me! I don’t want to be judged For things I cannot control, For transgressions and loves Methods, impairment, systems and failures Despicable lies and harrowing truths Cringeworthy trances and malicious propositions— That’s the reason I tragically fear you!" But such would be blatant lies. For I am not a reticent sheep, Not afraid of human, futile words It’s not any judgement or hate I despise It’s just that I can’t ever compromise I’m so terrified of judging Even in my mind The people of the world Precious brethren of my kind— I don’t wish to hurt a weakling Or a disgraceful abomination Thus, I’ll isolate from anyone For fear of impeding my love Of all alive, of everyone.

this is how god rocks his children my body feels weighed down pleasantly heavy gravity takes over on my wrists, my thighs, my ankles, my elbows all of that is pulled to the ground, and my eyes. tell me a story about your brother and you. a smile creeps to the side of my face when you describe something excuse me i was just having a funny thought. we burst out laughing my eyes blissfully closed. weighed down by angel dust it can't possibly be owned by the sandman at least, not this early. lids closed chin to chest wild curly hair fallen around your face. slowly and slowly around my head turns with the beat.   it feels so peaceful. my hair brushes against my cheeks forehead shoulders back and i can feel every strand. i feel on a higher plane the puritians the tribal trances the 60s hippies i'm on the same level now. i see myself trying to leave my body. i'm too grounded to project. but i see the black sky dotted with bright white stars like im looking into the sky. but now i'm flying into it. i have no boundaries no limits. meditate. i feel like i'm being rocked like a child a mother rocking her baby.   i feel like a giant hand cradles me and rocks me in this circle. so this is how god rocks his children. this is how god rocks his children.

This is how God rocks his children
*Her peals of laughter, gently rocks, wakes him up takes away from a midnight dream's warm embrace, one dream to the other, what she is up to, he feels bit cheated, like many times before, bit weary of misleading senses, they are friends of course, distractors too, if unaware of their penchant Perking his ears he listens, wind whistling in the woods, rain drops on leaves create sounds of soft laughter. Every where she is, the nymph, the ethereal presence, in dreams, in the spirited dance of clouds, in swirl of water and waves, when the birds play flute from their perches, in flights that seems meditative trances beyond mind. She is tranquility incarnate, beauty that grabs mind's eyes mother who consoles at the time of distress and pain. The night is silent again, the rain clouds too left to rest yellow clad moon peeps above the clouds, many gifts we forget to enjoy, some times without being aware, one leaves*

The Gifts We Fail to Receive
I see her in the morning. I think of her in the night. And all the hours in between, She enslaves my very sight. Her shiny black hair Is like silky waves of night. Her deep blue eyes Are portals of mysterious light. Her smile is magnificent. Her teeth are always glimmering. Her body is phenomenal. Her laughter is always ringing. She has a corner office. I have a corner store. I await the moment every morning When she opens up my door. She is perfect In every single way. All she has to do Is everything I say. She's married with children. I'm single with none. She seems so intense, But maybe she's the one. She'll be here soon. What do I do? I've absolutely, positively Fallen for Sue! I'm a fool! I've fallen into a trap. Help me find my way. Can you lend me a map? She is intoxicating. She's out of her mind. She follows me home And tries to be kind. She rearranges my furniture. She decorates my house. She adores this little puppy That looks like a mouse. She whispers and gossips And whistles and prances. She sends everyone into Their own kind of trances. She tasted better Than Blueberry wine. But she sure did crush This little heart of mine. Written by: Andrew D. Robertson

Heartache
I'm guilty of admiring my works and not others, that's what's silly about my self compassion dance When the only thing I've got left is the narcissistic klaxon that my self-righteous ambulance horn trances If it's killing me, Bukowski would be proud, because he loved his liquor, but he loved killing himself more He'd say, **** your religion! Pour this! This will bring you closer to God!" It's hard for an atheist to swallow, and to dabble in the tasting of sin, But Jesus was famous for turning water into wine, with no grapes mashed or thinned The shield of amaretto is strong and smooth You can put your cruise control on if you feel amused and soothed But in darker times it will make your feeling woozy and moved But **** does it make you feel more like yourself The you'est you can be, with impeccable speech craft and gentlemanly muse Helps you pay the dues that you have abused in your passive seasonal attitudes So what say ye Devine for thou'est darkest temptations, when you've created your own demons, hells, and abrasions Seems like you're the one holding the power ***** of creation Ye 'ol Devine ************
