Madness

I will not allow madness
Nor will I allow anesthesia
This place will end up in a mess
You won`t be affected by amnesia
As you will never forget this life-changing experience
Learn from your errors, that's just common sense
Whosoever sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind
You shall not forget to all who you have sinned

For you won't leave the extend of my madness with coma
Take for granted you'll be altered by trauma
You`ll be judged for each of your sins
Your corpse will be disposed in several bins
You are just a puppet
Used for entertainment
You can do infinite wishes
You will not leave this place with just a couple stitches

Walking the Deck

Walking the deck for you
I noticed the wood beneath my feet 
old boards
I stretch myself 
 as far as the horizon
Trying to expand myself for you

You ask so much of me
You push my boundaries beyond my boundaries
You demand on command 
of me as if I were a child

Yes,do .... stretch me and decrease me by making me thin
I am trying to be bold in your presence
Trying to remember where I came from 
and all that I believe in -for you

I will serve you like a slave
I will work for you like a child slave because I love you

The only light I know is the light I've seen
Driving through Forest of Bent trees where the sand and the wind have altered all to be so unusual and exquisite 
I can't stop thinking of wind altering trees

In the light ....of nature
so  bent by wind and storm
I'm humbled 
 lifted and joyful 
amazed 
and here nothing you do to me 
will ever stop my... being happy

You may be cruel but I will be bigger
a lioness of bent branches rising to the sky
roaring past you 
You may think You are bold in your cruelness

You think ownership of me gives you the right?

But I have the forest and I have the fluorescent red berries 
that he fought to retrieve for me 
and I will never forget what it is to be out here
in air and sky and feel sand fall through my fingers

A free child just enjoying the beauty of the world around me
 Gathering up bright berries of color to deck my halls


I remember that nature and life can be turned simple
by a tree
engaged by a leaf
romanced by a  puddle
spoken to by breeze
All you have to really do is go out there and gather up 
what is offered

Given without price

Psychedelics

Many decades..
There has been a war on psychedelics..
In the western world..

It had been ridiculed..
It had been banned..
It had been surrounded by negativity..
Tremendous darkness
False accusations had been drawn against it..



Had been misinformed..
As to its actual cause..
Placed in the same light as..
A toxic substance
Represented only dark forces..
The dark forces are the laboratories
Of which creates chemicals..
A toxic poisonous cocktail..
Combined with Mother Nature's own..
Thus then blames the natural plant..
For dangerous side effects..


In retrospect..
Pure pshycedelics is part of nature..
A natural plant..
Exclusively for the mind, body, and soul..
It has existed since the beginning of time..
Indigenous tribes from every corner of this Universe..
Had embraced it..
Medicinal purposes..
Healing..
Becoming in touch with Divinity..

Whether it is psyilocybin mushrooms..
Ayahuasca..
It matters not..

Enforces a gateway to divinity..
Though the Conscious is always in direct communication..
With the subconscious..
Lack of awareness exists..
Therefore Human conciousness dismisses it..

It matters not..
Awareness..
Unawareness..
Both are in direct communication..

Psycadelics boosts one's memory a bit..
Of who you really are..
A rememberance and celebrations..
Of thyself..
The true essence of who you are..

Divine interventions..
Is caused by psychedelics..
A gateway filled with discernment
An eye opening introduction to thyself..
An eye opening experience
A life altering change..
An altered state of conciousness..
To connenct with your own divinity..
Become consciously aware of all there is..
Embark on a blissful journey..
A trip one shall never forget..

A safe enviroment is a must..
surrounded by loved one's is a plus..
To experience a jumpstart on thyself..
Is the recipe for ..
A delectable experience..


Western society had banished psychedelics..
Banishment was..
Still is..
To deny ..
To supress..
One to walk an enlightened path..
A path to divinity..
Of which is their own..

To know thyself..

Premium Member Galaxies and Sand

Galaxies and countless sand -
so much to misunderstand.
You're more than a simple dot 
in a whimsical plot twist.

Free will in every circumstance, 
with each fascinating consequence,
is as purposeful as planned.
Altered winds at God's command.

Still, we don't know the secret half 
of the complex aftermath,
and fail to fully understand 
how we're still sustained to live,
lungs continuing to lift.

Grace extends to everyone,
sinners sprinkled with the sun.
Megaphone and microscope,
Son's arms reaching out in hope.

Connecting through mystifying prayer,
I feel your heart; God placed it there. 
How extravagant to share 
just a moment's precious pulse,
a fraction of a fragment of the whole.

This force can touch a single soul,
like the stearing wind of waves,
shifting shapes in continents.

Changing hearts are imminent
by the power of the Maker's hand,
who formed countless glorious galaxies 
and granules of shifting sand.

MIST OF BAROVIA

Morning arrives wearing fog
like a warning it never removes.
The village wakes slowly,
as if afraid to be seen.
Roofs drip secrets.
Windows blink once, then look away.
Names here are spoken softly,
so they don’t attract teeth.
The mist is not empty
it watches.
It remembers everyone
who tried to leave.
Footsteps disappear
almost as soon as they’re made,
as if the road itself
is tired of hope.
A bell tolls somewhere unseen,
counting lives instead of hours.
Even prayer echoes back altered,
older, hungrier.
Yet roses still bloom
dark, stubborn,
their thorns fluent in survival.
Children learn early
how to smile without trust,
how to run without direction,
how to listen for wings.
At night, the fog thickens,
stitched with moonlight and dread.
The castle looms, patient,
a thought that refuses to die.
But still
a candle is lit.
A door is barred.
A story is whispered.
In Barovia,
hope does not shine.
It smolders
quiet, defiant,
waiting for the mist
to blink first.

My Alternate Self

Glimpses of myself in a different time..
Recurring thoughts occupying my mind..
Visions of lush greenery landscapes
I gaze upon the deep blue sky
I caught a glimpse of myself..
My alternate self..

Unique surroundings 
Fascinating experiences..
Colors illuminating so perfectly vivid
Bright and bold
Intense and magnificent
For my eyes have never seen such vibrant colors..

Words cannot express the sweet vibrant colors..
Vibes and energies are intense..
Vibrating with the sights and sounds..
A beautiful high vibration of energy ..
My senses have intensified to the fullest
Through the marvelous glimpses of myself..
In existence..
Living a life
Fulfillment multiplied to the maximum..

A mirror..
An image of myself..
For I have been deceived by my own mirror..
Showing quite a distorted image of myself
Distortions certainly have a field day with myself..
Tricksters in disguise..
Brewing foolishness..
A foolish self ..
Living in a narrow gateway..
Cannot see the size of the gateway..
Can only see the narrow corridor of what lies ahead in the gateway..

Unexplainable awarensess shapes form..
A deep awakening..
Glimpses through many different windows and doors..
Altered states of windows and doors..
The doors and windows of my perception have completely opened..
Whisked away I am..

Reflections of myself in a different alternate reality..
Parallel entanglements
An interdimentional infusion of pure bliss..

Expansion of gateways..
The corridor is wide and abstract..
It lies everywhere simultaneously..

I am myself on earth..
As I am myself in an alternate universe..

Experiencing many facets of life..
My opened doors of perception entering through a window..

Premium Member 'heir' - Apparently Not

Prince William was so sick of being told
He’s receding and is now going bald
So he called in the royal hairdresser
To see if he could ease the heir pressure
He gave him a brand new hairstyle
This ‘buzzcut’ would be so worthwhile
His hairdresser is very highbrow
But his fees have raised an eyebrow 
William’s head looks like its been shaved
Oh how the press stories have raved
£180 pounds is what we’ve been told
It’s so costly to look like you’re bald! 
The cost Prince William has now denied
It wouldn’t be the first time the press have lied!
One day William will be ‘heir apparent’
And cutting costs will be more transparent

When William’s crowned then we could sing
With altered words to God shave the king!

Based on a story in the press over the cost of Prince William’s news haircut

Premium Member Phantom Phone Call

Phantom Phone Call

All Hallows Eve quickly approaches
With tales of crypts and ghostly coaches
When haunting spirits again roam
To sounds of chains and dirges of moans.

Amid this eerie spine-chilling time
Beloved mother prepares to die
Fragile link between Heaven and earth
Suddenly splits in her rebirth.

One final breath, one final sigh,
One final smile from her blue eyes
Now at midnight her spirit takes flight
Traveling light through darkest midnight.

The battle over – sweet warrior at rest
Home phone rings jarring mourning expressed
Familiar voice heard on the line – no trick -
“Child, this is your mother!”  Click…

The story is true story although timeframe has been altered.  After mom died our home phone rang. It was past midnight.  The voice on the other end of the line was mom’s voice.  The call untraceable.

Premium Member Dora Maar With Green Fingernails

I live because in my life
       you paint love as surreal art
 it’s my bruised heart 
    scorned, sacred vows of a saint
 true lovers’ art 
       this, you paint… 

It appears as me 
with altered appeal and
tints of pain,
tainted in taffeta’s
crisp and stylish 
Primped and fashioned, contour of course

My soulful eyes
fitting for a muse 
my lips are shut,         
and my finger pressed
against a smudge messed
I want to shout
let me out of this demure affair
In that case, I pleasure in my nails
Hand splayed, what’s red is green,
Revlon’s recipe
on sharpened tips
secrets we keep, and so what
if my complexion pewters 
I’m just an object
An object of veneration
where pain and beauty coexist
Gone direly insane, you’ll find out 
I am a photo finish, a diarist
reclusive in my personal struggles
and creative expression
and in this I conclude
that I’ll outlive you
in solitude
