I spend 80% of the day waiting for you to come home
And the other 20% hoping you won't leave again.
It's never easy
But through the summer's and winter's,
those fresh spring's and chilly fall's
I'll be there.
Right where you left me
The life of a pet is never easy.
Row, row, row your boat
Violently through the river
Up creek without a paddle
There is nothing left to give her
Row, row, row your boat
Crashing into the shore
Choking on all the sea foam
The venom of The Whore
Row, row, row your boat
Someplace far, far away
Far enough to forget you
Where the memories won't stay
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down a stream
Together we were far apart
The nightmares just a dream...
every day
we wake up
to
live
a
dream
I have heard it said
That lives flash before our eyes
Seconds before we're dead
And then we're on the other side
But there's an interesting phenomenon
Where when we die in dreams, we wake
We know not how to go on
So we cannot dream a fate
But what if in our final visions
Our mind has nowhere to go
So death is just transition
From that we do not know
What if eternity is seconds long
Forever is how we imagine it
Lucidity births our gods
And only the guilty burn within
Puff, puff, puff, that joint.
Slowly if you please.
Happily, happily, happily, happily.
Bongs are but a tease.

Events present themselves for redressal,
in as merely playing out as ordained,
impacting ego in body vessel,
which for now, is by fears and desires stained,
until love divine by soul is ingrained.
All that is, is a splash in the ocean,
so why for then, this needless commotion,
going through this here lucid dream sequence?
Partaking of soma nectar potion,
obviates need for soul to pay penance.

cajoled by love divine sublime
our soul ascends in timeless time
why fret when we are in a dream
delighting in images that stream
hark, oh hermit, to our hearts chime

he now sees
that life but a play
spurred by desire
amidst dream images

Day to day events
Presents us challenges
Consciousness unstained
Observes in stillness
That that is ordained
The dream sequence
Unfolds slowly
Our nonchalance
Smiles graciously
Over time
What matters
Is love chime
Movie
Does stream
Dream
