Non Believer:

I have heard, others talk about your god
He doesn't sound like a god I wish to know
Sitting in heaven high on his throne
While I'm left to suffer here all alone
Guilty of sins for which...

Poetry is a highly personal endeavor for all who write
And answer the inspiration of Our Eternal Poetry Muse.

Why do we write poetry?
This a very important question for all of us who “spill ink.”

Poetry for me...

And I disappeared back into the books,
Whirling in a seamless stream of context,
By whose scarlet blood I assumed some looks,
Forevermore ready for what was next.

From this moment on I could not assume,
That what I had...

In the deepest corners of my soul, where shadows whisper secrets to the light of existence,
A mystical and magical poem is woven, a tapestry of thoughts and emotions,
Born from the innocent spontaneity of youth and...

I’m stuck.
My mouth tries to speak my thoughts.
My creative process is buried in the muck. 
My tongue is in tangled up knots.
I long so terribly to tell you how I feel.
Although, every time I try,...

I hit the master switch
And all the lights and racks come on at once
The mood lights overhead, the rack equipment, flashing, glowing
Keyboards, amps, mixer, recorder, effects, EQ, sound mods, sequencers
Screens, laptop, pedals, playback system, and...

IMAGINATION

Closed eyes; under a locked prism of unavailable light 
subjects our third eye to mind's internal creation; 
imagined images viewed by non-existent senses
on an opague three dimensional screen.

In an algorithm of shedded particle waves
Insight quickly...

I will not substitute:

Wealthy ends
for healthy means,

Christmas climaxes
for everyday robust Advent,

Yanger
for Yintegrity,

Progress
for creative process,

Visual resilience
for audible resonance,

Objective resolution
for subjectively felt inclusion,

EgoFulfilling analogy
for EcoHealing metaphor,

Unchanging affluent paradigms
for effluent polyphonic polypaths,

Atomic wholes
for wave-linear co-relationships,

Nomial being
for bilateral becoming,

Well-rhymed...

It seems, in truth, that I'm such a glutton,
          For a pulsing, lighted or sliding button.

Quite a vivid late afternoon/
early evening dream
transpired within me noggin
housed deep within skullcap
regarding right wing kooky
conspiracy plot to kidnap
a leary paranoid 
schizophrenic king suspicious of trap

upon arising from lengthy nap
yours truly, who sought to pull...

Dividing work from play,
like noting night not day,
is useful in a left brain dominant way
yet not so good
in right and left to-gathering
communicating say.

In my most real
and sacred trust right mind
no profound difference I find,
not even...

OCD

Working on compiling and editing my latest project
even my dreams become an obsessive loop
of cutting and pasting words and images
mostly just the same few over and over
placeholder symbols for other symbols
that must have some...

Within all of our hearts their beats a hidden melodic tune..,

Similar to the way a poet begins his creative process
I'm not writing this—I craft hastily as views progress

Doubt often sneaks in and affects how a choice feels
The words used in charming, deceitful deals

Blossom of fruit trees
strewn around the orchard
subtle hues of pink and white
shot through with purple

Seeing it reminds me that
like the fruit trees so do 
each of us in our own way
blossom as we pass through...

The grains of sand fall quickly through
A past that time forgets
Who we were, where we've been and
Where we shall go hence.

While much is learned, so much is lost
Though wisdom ever speaks
She sings her song to...

So simple is so so elusive, 
It's down there, somewhere
beneath the layers of
complexity which shrouds,
covers and clouds

calling up all sorts of objections, problems,
what-ifs, if-only's and yeah-buts,
in endless...
