Collection #1

MYSELF

I’ve always known the only thing I’ll ever need to know

I’ve always shone the only thing I’ll ever need to show

I’ve always grown the only thing I’ll ever need to grow

I’ve always flown from the only thing I’ll ever need to flow

Rooted and unthreatened by the tapping of the crow

I’ve always seen the only thing I’ll ever need to see

And I’ll always be the only me that ever lets my tree sprout free

HEART OF HEARTS

Brilliant and bright

Your shining takes my sight

You shine with all your might

You hide the white light in the dark abyss

Of the pupil of the nucleus of the eclipse

And yet

The darkest dark lays hidden in the brightest light

Of your brilliance

You float high like a kite

You swim skies through the night

And I’m so proud

So glad that I was there

To watch your soul take a flight

***

I’ve got lots of frequent flyer miles

Stored high up in my head

Because I’ve flown so many times

I’m already both live and dead

And so my plane can never crash

For it never leaves the ground

Simply because it was born of

The sky and has never yet

Touched down

I’m one with the flowing air

Currents

And sitting on cloud nine

I dwell in the seventh heaven

Eternal – in and out of time – divine

There is a light in my heart

Which shines like ten thousand suns

And once the trip is over

The journey just begun

VISHNU’S VISHNAS

Internal test:

Shall I be blessed,

Or damned by some infernal pest,

Of judgements, more or less?

Eternal rest is what I need!

Though yes – I messed up,

And my greed

Would often lead

Me, on a knightly steed,

To feed into the double bubble trouble,

Which leaves the structure

Turned to rubble.

In desire’s flame, we’re all insane…

It’s all the same:

It’s just a game.

My infamy – My fame

They matter not

For I have always

Heard the one true name –

Directly!

She tells me things,

And whisper-sings

Into my ears as I drift off

As I lift off

And all the ancient demons scoff

Because I’m still so young I cough and question,

Oh, did we mention?

The new direction of this

Train will remain simple and plain

Until we stop the mental rain

The crystal doplettes??? plopping

Shimmering surface popping

Heavenly tears she drops

Calling forth my crops

 The sky is vast the sky is true

The sky’s a blast

It’s big and blue

The sky don’t lie

The sky don’t sink

And through the sky,

The cosmos winks – together

Light as a feather

I can float

Up into control remote

Where I will gloat

Across the biospheric Earthly mote

From my spaceship / pirate boat

Of dreams turned real

And realized hope

A broken promise for tomorrow

Passes us in waves of sorrow

Because the bodies

That we borrowed

Must be returned

With grand bravado

***

STARGATE

As I contemplate

Kneeling at the stargate

Trying to negotiate

With the Sphynx on the Brink that severs every little link

I must not fall into the drink

I must go in

I did not sin

I balanced yang with yin

And yet the stargate is held fast

As the great sphynx mind-scans my past

My phylum ??? and my cast

I hope and fear as time draws near

That all my pleas the shynx will hear

Not to judge me harshly

And to scan me only partially

And now I know as I

Take my eternal bath

In the fire-lake of wrath

I had to choose a different path

If I had wanted not to simmer

But instead to soar and glimmer

I should have stood

There as a man and opened

Up as best I can

The sphinx was tone

The Gate – a dream

There was no sinning to redeem

I am both Lucifer and God

A mix that may seem rather odd

But truth is, turns out there was

Never any connection to the severed

There was no past, no cast, no mind

To judge – I was the one that

Formed the grudge, only the

Present self I am

Could ever cause me

To be damned

If I had stood there

Knowing well that I am here

And fear not hell

If I had stood there without doubt

Guilt desire lies or shame

Well then I would outsmart the game

The stargate measures not your life

The stargate knows there’s always a strife.

The stargate closes to our fear

And swings wide to those who can admit

That through a keyhole we all peer

***

I got captured

In rapture

So they sent me to the other church

I was living

With peace of mind

Now he’s giving

Me a piece of his mind

They left me for the vultures

My family froze as sculptures

My scriptures avicted

Me from my self

They thought that I did

And now I do need help

I’m going to yelp

With fear

And with pain

If any of these insane games

Remain

***

The real lizards on the streets

I repeat

The real lizards are everywhere

Just like me because we are

One and the same entity

Set me free

Let me leave

Through the damn entrance

With no exit fee

And no guilty plea

From which I must flee

The the vast ancient sea

Where under the water

They let me be

Alone with the tree

Onto which I must pee.

***

Final Flower’s Bloom

Some call me the Groom of Doom

I make minds go boom

So do not assume

That those of us who trust blood

Kill, or ever could

Love and do what thou

Wilting flowers allow to

In every way

Every never

Is forever severed

From the endeavor

Because the garden

We tread until we are dead

Is rooted in us

The source of all truth

Lies in the undying skies

Of boundless freedom

And thus we create

Our own realities here

Where we are present

All things on the path

Are constant and continue

Onward into love

***

CRUSHED

I want to be crushed

Like a lover

I want to be crushed

Like a pill

I want to be crushed

When I hover

I want to be crushed

When I’m still

I want to be crushed

Like a camel

I want to be crushed

With a stone

I want to be crushed

With a hammer

I want to be crushed

With a bone

I want to be crushed

Like a filter

I want to be crushed

Like the sun

I want to be crushed

When it splinters

And me and the world

Become one.

***

Counting heads

And amounting creds

From the very beginning you can see how we’ve been led

To grieve for the dead

That bled red in their bed

I’ve read books that said

Children don’t need their meds

Long ago the two principles

Were singularly wed

But not all requirements

Were singularly met

And now we’re in debt

And now we forget

That we used to be all set

But there’s no need to fret

And no need to panic

Or get super maniac

When violence is promoted I ban it

I tell them to can it

And shove it

Cuz we’re all above it

I love it

And covet

The ladies I fancy

I can’t see

It makes me get antsy

Let’s party

Be arty

It’s time to depart G.

***

Smoke and mirrors

Sex and drugs

            Drawings and music

Tapestries and rugs

            Group hugs

                        With thugs

That eliminate the matrix bugs

            I wish that the star

                        I’m wishing upon

Wasn’t so far

I’m a king and a pawn

            I wish that the children

That run the Earth

            Would go back to black

                        From whence they gave birth

I wish I remembered

            What happened last night

I got some witches pregnant

            And got into a fight

But the light with such might

            Gives me brand new sight

Flying kites simply

            For the sake of flight

The human plight is eternal

I bite the infernal

            World that is hurled

By the great cosmic colonel

            Corn kernels

Corny fucking murals

Burials and other form Endurance

I think that the stink if it’s not meant to

Sink needs a little extra self-reassurance

Clever People

Clever People

Converging at Cleveland Circle

The Sun is re-emerging

And surging through our hearts

Breaking us apart

So we may start to perfect our

Sacred art

And when we reconvene

Outside convenience stores

High expectations

Surpassing the convenient whores

We flirt

And they distinguish

Those of us they trust with lust

From common dirt

And thus we share the holy words and images that we created

And so the meaning of reality is still debated

Although

We all agree to see

The vast blue oceanic opening

That sets us free, OG

Smoke drifting

In our fingertips and lips

The store equips

Us when we pull up in our bouncing whips

 Music bumping

We ride them like they’re pirate ships

We’re all just ego-tripping,

Skinny dipping, candy flipping

I think I’m slipping

Into the great abyss

Where lost souls reminisce

About the eyelids that they used to kiss

The world is piss

And shit

Spunk gunk and spit

And yet the funk remains

Undying and unconquered:

Always lit

We bring into our homes

Each other

Because we know that we are brothers

And Nature is our mother

On this earth

Which gives us birth

And so we know our boundless worth

You may get paid but we get laid

And know how to evade the renegade

Which perpetuates and instigates

The pharmaceutical drug trade

Public Relations

United Nations

Corrupt and corporate negotiations

Deciding how to distribute rations

But can’t you tell?

It’s just a spell!

Meet me at the drinking well

We choose

Between heaven and hell ourselves

And God left food up on the trees

Just learn to breathe

Enjoy the breeze
