Best Externals Poems

Prelude to what…..

I see you,  /  you / yes, come into my…… 
laboratory of alchemist mystical languaging.
where arsenic spills into the whirlpool of thought 
and savage syntax shatter like glass on concrete.

Where Titans clash their pens
both spear and shield
signifier and signified in eternal...

Once again the silvery moon has pilfered the golden sun
Total eclipse is upon me, time has elapsed suspending orange
Twilight’s begun on the orb’s descending softer glow 

Veiled in twilight…                ...

"Short Night of the Dark Christmas"

short night of the dark Christmas
means home alone, for some,
but heck get real, 

no one 
is truly alone, never,
even when reality conspires 

to suggest 
otherwise, 
close your eyes

open your mind
 
one sits with the other 
invisible 
permanent, immovable

the mind mulled...

We are all improbable in our own way, 
and who can augur the future?  
I never could have laid out my course in advance, 
though in looking back it all makes sense, 
even if it was me flipping a coin (or if somebody flipped...

There's a perturbation beneath the surface
An impulsive dilemma of wants and needs 
It's a cognitive battle
Should I refrain, or should I feed?

The desires are instinctive
The hardwired cravings are insatiable inside
Change is like trying to outrun our own shadow
Or like separating the self, from the I

It's...

Hoping to acquire daily integrity
she shopped for appropriate night time analogies

Conscious through correlational ecological relationships
he was found rooting through ancient creation theology

She felt Goddess light
through changing internal enrichment
in dialectal process development
becoming analogous spirited Beauty.

He knew God
as exterior natural,
yet interior spiritual,
unchanging universal Being
theology of TrueLight.

Mindful of...

They said I'm a chip off the old block, but I'd never budge an inch
For it is of nature to bear the semblance of the one from whom you proceed
For it is blood to blood, nothing escaping
 For that's nature's will
All we can do is...

Non-Dual Iphoneography

Appreciation of this art
comes from appreciation
of  Non-dual Reality
in which we are all immersed..
This ubiquitous camera
comes as attachment to our
ubiquitous mobile phones..
It is the dream of photographers
with fondest wish to be
ready when the subject arrives..
The burdensome externals
lenses and filters and light
are subsumed in the...

I’ve died many times
And not been reborn.
Nine lives were mine; 
Now two.  Or three.  
Or one; 
This one, the last.
I am the cat,
But that’s not the answer.

I am for you to tell.

My kind did not evolve
Over long course, as yours,

HEADY MINDS

Our minds project and name:
this realization is rumbling
underneath our shadows and struggle..
Is it not amazing
that externals are projections
awaiting..but not long.. for their names
eagerly provided by heady minds..
This realization reverses
our notions..those heady beliefs
of separation as wisely undeniable..
Although the rumbling often seems 
fleeting and faint
not reportable...

lub dub, lub dub  echoes of the heart
just one sound that will tear it apart
its reins will tighten and choke the air sacks
fuselage lines squeezed  from the fortress of  plaques

the alarm is out to all cells standing in harm’s way
its possible they...

Dissecting this heart from externals seeping surge; unknowing infiltrations 

Betwixt a distant and different shade in time; an enemy's blinding dagger.... 

Grasped by my very own hands; a reply, to accept this tango; mesmerized 

While as the darkness slowly descended unto, an irony's breakage of...

Know thyself
Confusing – maybe?
The reality - we are all we’ll ever have
Personal awareness is of utmost importance - indeed

Evolutionary dialectical battle
Vociferous the subconscious mind 
Perpetual synaptic reactions
Unexamined – troubled - unkind

Awareness precedes Transformation
Transformation – Holy Grail - life’s key
Rise above the ancient biological chatter
Peace of...

I know well of a cat's ear, eye, nose, teeth, coat, paws and claws,
Do I know, what's behind its look and mysterious pause?
I know a dog's acute sense of smell; muscles and fingers,
Do I know what's going-on when he quietly lingers?

I see my neighbor-child stand...

In life's unfolding, through this transient phase,
I witness kin and friends succumb to age's haze.
The pain and agony of their loss, echo in our hearts,
Time may heal, but leaves indelible, mental charts.
Existence's truth, beyond forms that fade,
Resides eternal, where souls find peace displayed.

Thoughts and beliefs,...
