Automatism
seems to deny the
dancing polarity
of life and death
which is to deny
the unbearable
and precious secret
that life and death
are not two~~
"While the soul really lives, its deepest dread is perhaps the dread of automatism. For automatism in life is a forestalling of the death process."
— D.H. Lawrence

Speaking out about what
he does not know
tho' saying it long and loud enough
will never make it so
and by the size of the sound
of the flute he toots
(or, is it his trumpet he blows?)
this Cockwomble's too big for his britches
he's way too big for his boots
as for he who shall not be named
for all the world to see
someone should pull out the rug
from under Mr. T.
take him down a peg or two
cut him down to size
as he lies then denies
it could be his downfall
it would be his demise

The doctor was one I’d not met.
Her thoughts about treatments were set.
I didn’t agree
So her questions to me
Were the kind I would rather forget.
But the one thing that I did surmise
Was that she was convinced I told lies
For when I answered “No”
To some queries she’d throw
Her report stated, “Patient denies.”
What most bothered me, reading her notes
Was the comment (I’ll put it in quotes):
She “appears stated age”
Maybe so, but I’d wage
Her demeanor won’t get many votes.

The artist dies again and again,
but his art does not
Bringing new life to the ages,
turning his back on time
The artist cannot last,
but his genius can
Living inside the spirit

Living without the need
for either love or hate
And immune to the emptiness
of which so many talk
I marvel at the effects
they both instill and extract
As my mind understands in concept
—what my heart denies

Know God Never Denies
We know that God never denies,
My oh my how time always flies;
For His sake;
Prayer will make;
Much faster than we did realize;
A soldier fighting in a field dies.

J-ust rise up from sleep
O-n Thursday so warm ever;
S-un has started to shine,
E-ighth morn of December.
S-hadows and cold chill
A-re turning to bright light;
Z-enith meets the beacon,
O-ne dawn denies the
N-ight.

O-nce the day denies the night,
R-ising sun will shine;
L-et the Monday beacon bathe
Y-our soul and your mind.
A-s the day denies the night,
N-either eye doesn't open;
G-et up from your slumber,
U-nderneath the blue heaven.
L-et the morn March twenty-seventh share the dawn with light;
O-ne twilight won't remain, once the day denies the night.

D-awn denies the night,
O-ne flame is in view;
L-et the dusk and twilight
L-eave far away from
Y-ou.
N-ew dawn denies the night,
E-ighth of April Saturday;
P-ouring rain disappears,
O-nce the sun comes your way.
M-orn denies the night,
U-nder the wide blue sky;
C-oal clouds all become white,
E-vening chill passes by.
N-eath the burning beacon, warmth sets things aright;
O-nly when the dark ends, dawn denies the night.

As Your Cold Heart Denies My Love
I can not change your cold heart,
Or force you to again lovingly speak.
Sad your choice is we remain apart.
That again, our love I dearly seek:
I can not change your cold heart!
I can not change your cold heart;
Nor storm the many castles you build.
Despite my sad pleas for another start,
you hating me, refuse to ever yield,
I can not change your cold heart.
I can not change your cold heart;
Change your mind, if only I ever could,
forever hold you and never part!
Rejoin our love by any sacrifice I would
I can not change your cold heart.
I can not change your cold heart,
Or remove that hate in your dark eyes:
Behind that stare awaits a poison dart,
to fling at me based upon many lies;
I can not change your cold heart.
