my essence to nose as honey to tongue
purifying power moves you to One
rooted and decorated I stand atomic
down from seventh heaven cosmic
I’m tough, hardy, regarded as Old School
though ever-new coloured petals drool
milky sap as sacred unseen ambrosia
woven in fifth sheath, Atman’s kosha
Adamic my aquiline profile I breathe
connection memories, ascension eased
brain wave entrainment silent reviewed
time-space exquisite pure quarks exude
seraphic perfume as garden valance
invoking blissed emotion within balance
sanguine I worship, triggering transmutation
darkness to loosen my blossom’s salvation
pastel or bright in sunrise dewy morn
connecting to dynamo ancestors shorn
sighting me is intriguing immortality born
abide beneath my falling petals each dawn
sensations edenic across my butterflied
c e r e b e l l u m spied
my innocence your life awakening
earth minerals my satiating ~

Happy Chappie had a lightbulb brain wave
Thinking his idea some time he would save
Usually when he went out and about
He forgot his way back without any doubt
Thought if I butter well my outdoor shoe
I'm sure to retrace as good as new
Unexpectantly he had a good ride
Whooshing along on his sole slip and slide
Like a rainbow after a storm, which shows even rough days get better.
Like an inspirational story, which wants to make you feel greater.
Like a candle in the dark, showing you a new point of view.
Like a best friend's hug, that chases away the blues.
Like a spark of creativity cutting through hours of frustration,
Like a brain wave that puts you on the path of innovation.
Like a sapling in a desert, it's the promise of life
Like hard won success after trouble and strife
Like the first word on paper that soon becomes a story
Like a newborn baby who soon becomes a bundle of glory
It is that amazing feeling which helps you cope,
Yes, within all of us, resides... Hope!

He answered:
My thoughts are nothing
like yours
My ways are far beyond
your realms of
imagination
on thinking?
…Believe
and know that I am

Where should I go and just how far
When I am playing on a great guitar?
Up and down its very illusive neck
Before I soon become a total wreck.
Each string I'm sure is supposed to sound
Like no one else should try to be around
Along with me and my magnificent melody
Making it seem like I had a lobotomy.
With my aggressive guitar and brain wave
I will more than likely land in my grave;
Of everyone thought that I was well ahead
But my music is unpopular and by now is dead.
Last licks I got in were short and not long
Making it surely sound like a soft folksong
We thought was sung by Mo, Curly and Larry
Who actually were Peter, Paul and Mary.

In our stimulated, simulated brain wave
Collectively entranced, supplanted reality
The new wave of an old groove
As hypnotizing self-suggestion induced
The destiny for recently awake stars to improve
Perception cauterizes the magic bloom
You reach to see we are the same belief
Believers need to understand the course of time
Make it rewind with abstract mind
The memory melted flash bulb crashes full
Across the pattern of landscapes woven through theme
What I tell you Is
That you are behind
The background and foreground
In your lofty fantasy reality spells out
Without a single shred of doubt
So believe what you see
Because you are what you believe
All I'm asking is that you sign the line that is dotted....
Either that or cosine me a new brain wave
As a placid penny grips my total recall
Brain wave insurgency from colorful streams
Literary dreams
Psychic transport unfurling
Following the beat of conflict
This enthralling hypnotizing grasp
Silent purging
In an epic showdown between right and wrong
Gut checking realism the drama urges
Man from wire, space to erase
Start anew this karmic mercury
This driving storyline underlying all
