Cracking Glass
Cracking Glass
Your mind fills like a glass
Always taking never ask
Never asking questions and never drawing lines
Never turning forwards, just staring far behind
You crack and break and bend and press
You chase and burn and scratch but yet
Walls crumble and never stand
They’re built of rubble and pure clear sand
You’re pushing and you’re turning
Clear as shiny day
You’re shoving

cracking the code
password to open the heart forgotten
we wandered earth like a deluded ghost
then one day we became a child again
meaning innocence was then soul’s outpost
cleansed of stain, we broke free from ego’s chain
reclaiming light by God’s love begotten

THE CRACKING OF A TOMBSTONE
Sometimes life can be peaceful
And Sometimes it can be quite
You can even hear the needle drop
What is so funny?
Sometimes life can be full of drama
And Sometimes it can be stressful
When is this pot getting hot?
The bomb has exploded,
As the seas collide
And the tree bears its fruit
The world is watching
As the

cracking
it had been a miserable place in his heart
disconnected the body mind and soul
wandered in a straightjacket of bedlam
insanity depression and misgivings
firmly rooted in a lonely Self
abandoned by madness and despair
a crack is where the light gets in
once the solar eclipse fissures
its own crevice down to the core
separated and broken he prayed
for a shift in

RUNNING RACES CRACKING CODES
RUNNING RACES CRACKING CODES
No disgruntled dissonance
between dimensions
sliding down sigils
galaxies of glories
listening to lilies
lyricing to Lilith
flow of filaments
consenting to classify
eyes like echoes
running races
cracking codes so
that Source can
claim His-Her
crystals into
5D carols

Cracking the code
Accepting omnipresence of boundless space
and fixating our attention upon it,
we notice that from its pores in-pours God’s grace,
recalibrating consciousness bit by bit,
as our steps to heaven we slowly retrace,
requiring lamp of love in heart to be lit.
Silence, stillness and total thought cessation,
pierces the veil of space in meditation.

Cracking the code
Twirled about by desire and fear,
saw thought apparitions appear,
with the aim to drive us insane,
binding us in attachment’s chain,
blocking God’s light from drawing near.

Little Clown
Here she is
Her smile as if painted on
Shining, eye catching
Her shell cracking
Breaking, snapping
Slowly revealing the true little clown
Oh, my silly little fool
No amount of pain or porcelain could hide something as hideous as you
Oh, now don’t weep
Don’t fret
After all, the show isn’t over yet.

Porcelain Play
You tell me to stop
How can I
When the porcelain play never stops
It has to keep going
For the crowd
Yet, the cracks...
They are slowly taking over
Slowly breaking
my so carefully built play
my life
my happiness
The cracks get bigger, can they see?
no amount of joy can seal them now.
The crowd, it laughs. I'm glad. They don't

The Sound of One Heart Cracking
The poets talk of love.
Do you think they know
What it means?
A shimmering dream
Of sunlit grassy fields?
(So they say)
Or an endless stream
Of wet dreams?
Holding hands in a cinema
You watch translucent transcendent lovers
Kissing by a fountain in the park.
You caress in the dark
The sweaty, stubby fingers of another,
Of your lover
(So you say).
Still, I am no poet
I cannot

Cracking Open the Memory Box
She’d pull her hair, mean as a rhinoceros.
But I do care, though she skipped school
on that fateful final day of her life on earth.
Funny how I did not know about it.
Until yesterday I’d have thought she lived,
waiting to die like the rest of us, one day.
I cracked open the box to grab the handful
of group’d

Cracking Windows
We always keep the windows cracked
To get a little air.
Of course, we may then be attacked
By winter’s frigid fare.
But that’s okay – some extra clothes
Provide a counter point
So we will never, I suppose,
Be very out of joint.
Apartments get a lot of heat
Which often seems extreme,
Though window-cracking helps us beat
The dominance of steam.

Some Sounds Remind of Knuckles Cracking
Clatter claws cascade downward into listening drums.
Pigeons are the worst. Rose bushes sit quietly all summer
then only after they have lost their heads
do they scratch and squark nightly.
Toilets that are not in your home haunt and taunt.
Dry joints crunch down - listening synovial cartilages
stick shift and slip out of gear.
There is the jack-hammer
