Time Tells Me This

So for now run away-
because none of this is your business,

never mind the bleeding branch that's supplemented your fitness,

never mind the hateful rant you hear in your illness,

so just forget all those times when you just couldn't feel witnessed,

its all gonna fly,

as long as you stray from the spindrift,

you have done some hard time,

now it's time to be a part of the hit list,

you get mine and I get your willingness...


Too bad you are gonna find that you are a sneering ventriloquist,

who's side kick is alive with the eagerness,
to get evenness-
between two teammates in the same building on this…

Too bad you can't be a pine in the mountains on this,

for real feel the cold and the dampness
that you've dealt since your kids became arrogant.


Because by now we must have sewed it right in...

It will be there by the time you reach the dawn of your dim,

too bad you could only ever lift up your fins,

too bad we weren't ever in the same pool to go swim,

because this is not war against whims,

it really is just a downpour of age old sin,

coming on our leaders-

not seeing yourself without them, 

you constantly tire yourself about how to doubt them...

Premium Member Sugar And Salt

Sugar of life you are
Sweet and dainty in jar

Over and under the counter
You are a wonder in winter

Sturdy grains of Summer breeze
Granules of sweetness, not freeze

White, not green like the apple peels
Sweet and brittle in my heart reels


Salt of the lake
I grow strong and rake

Salty grounds and eden of drake
As briny as the sea sands shake

My skin dries when you touch
Like yellow leaves that fall too much

Salt not scar, palatable in taste
From the dust man came, never a waste

Sugar and salt are grains of wonder
Sweetness and evenness in gains yonder

Life's toils and reaps in harvest
Man's worth and quest above the rest

Never Again

Depression seeps through my soul
How can I write when my heart’s such a droll? 
Can a set of fancy words truly make him appear?
Alas, it is never meeting him again I fear
Would he not gaze at my verse in surprise?
Would he not see it pour through my eyes?
In tears I ponder upon his reaction
Every line a bittersweet satisfaction
I care not for evenness; I care not for whim,
I care not for dead words, only for him
Often when such words escape my mind,
I try to see him in them, but he’s too hard to find
In truth, I see less of my heartfelt rhymes
As the clock striking seven heavenly chimes
Pictures race in my frivolous head
I see his green eyes; I hear the things he has said
‘Never Again’ are the words I now cry
And my heart knows those words never die

Anniversary Vows

You cannot possess me for I belong to myself. 
But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give. 
I cannot posses you, for you are unto yourself. 
But if you allow, it is my great honor to walk with you and live. 
Step in step, stride in stride.
Hand in hand, side by side. 
I would not try to possess you, your greatness is your own.
But while you wish it, I’ll gladly accept that which you give. 
You would not try to possess me, you know I’m yours alone. 
And as I always allow, please stay with me while we live. 

You cannot command me, for I am a free person. 
But I shall serve you in those ways you require, 
I will stay with you through all things,
Hell and high water, harsh gales, flood, or fire. 
I would not command you, for you are a free being
But I would ask you let me serve til you tire. 
Allow me to prepare your rest after your day
A place to sit, a warm meal over the fire,
And the honeycomb will taste sweeter coming from my hand. 

I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night, 
And the eyes into which I smile in the morning. 
I pledge to you that I will seek only you for twilight,
And hold only your hand through mourning. 

I pledge to you the first bite of my meat 
and the first drink from my cup. 
I pledge to you to equally treat
And to always lift you up. 

I pledge to you my living and my dying, each equally in your care. 
I pledge to you the only crying 
Will be a burden that we share. 

I shall be a shield for your back and you for mine. 
I will protect you with the strength I have for this time. 
I shall guard you, as I do my own heart, 
For the survivalist in me cannot tell them apart. 

I shall not slander you, nor you me. 
I shall only speak of your profound beauty. 
I shall honor you above all others, 
and when we quarrel, remember we are lovers. 
we shall do so in  private and tell no strangers our grievances. 
I will hold no grudges, demand no evenness. 

This is my wedding vow to you 
This is the marriage of equals.

Me and God

God knows everything
I, the human, do not know anything
who said
- I, the human

God is a great guide, almighty
I, the human, am follower only
who said
- I, the human

God is the light
God is heaven
God is the peace
God is the Warner of wickedness
God is the punishment giver
God is the creator
God is the destroyer
God is everything for me, the human
who said
- I, the human

I, the human, said everything 
since unknown time, 
but in changing of time
now, my saying is God's Words
my advice is God's Books
my making Idol is my God
my making prayer home is God's Home
the Home and the Idol now before me the ultimate governor 

How wonderful my eyes of thoughtful mind and belief are
How wonderful I and my God are!

Together
but inequality
in evenness!

Schoolboy Error

He sat on the pathway edge,
crossed legged at the feet.
Donned in green moleskin trousers and yellow oilskin, felt pork pie hat and tilting back from the band a pheasant feather, 
multicoloured, 
catching the sporadic sunlight.
Thin lipped and with a smile that exposed teeth so uniform that if he had done a handstand you would swear the mouth had not moved.
I imagined the canines and molars worn to evenness by the gnawing of rope and net whilst Captaining trawlers that endured weeks at sea, but more likely a University lecturer, Geography teacher.
Like Shearer at the Gallowgate end I held my arm aloft exposing the too tightly pulled wristband allowing entry to the festivities.
Heartily and simultaneously with him “Morning” and his smile extended further.
Drinks were ordered and it was several minutes before I became aware of my inappropriate footwear as wood chippings bit my toes.
Forgetfulness was becoming an ever increasing trait. 
Oofos flip flops were not going to cut it.
A Met Office amber warning, dancing and the threat of a drifting mosh pit required a sturdier approach and a journey back out.
“So soon?” he asked ruefully.
I pointed to the uncovered feet, his brow concertinaed, he stood, smaller than expected, deceived by his outstretched legs.
Arms raised, fully extended, he planted his hands upon my shoulders and with quiet authority 
“When your Father told you that things would get easier, that you hadn’t to worry, that you will get wiser. You didn’t listen did you?”
He bellowed and I joined him. 
He sent me away.
Uplifted.
When I returned he had been replaced, voluntary shift complete. Sat in his place a young man, a boy barely eighteen I guessed. 
I left my arm by its side and tugged at the sleeve, we nodded.
Later that day I spied the man, sat on a tree trunk bench. 
Pork pie hat with pheasant feather, crossed legged at the feet but held to his thin lips, a dark beer, a mild, a stout or a porter.
Undoubtedly a Geography teacher.

Premium Member Avadhuta Gita Chapter 1 verse 73

“The avadhuta, alone, pure in evenness of feeling, abides happy in an empty dwelling place. Having renounced all, he moves about naked. He perceives the Absolute, the All, within himself.”


We flow like the fresh morning breeze,
mood and mode embrace and release,
having obliterated time,
with no demons left to appease.

Poised in peace betwixt bliss beat’s chime,
having no new peaks left to climb,
focus fixated on the void,
on its own heart conjures a rhyme.

Our presence, pure and unalloyed,
no longer by desires decoyed,
enlivened by bliss magnetism,
is no longer by thought forms toyed.

Grace igniting mind-body prism,
we thus transcend every known ism,
transforming as pure living light,
by a magical mechanism.

That all’s one is known by clear sight,
truth stark that banishes the night,
so here now, each moment reborn,
breath by breath heightens heart’s delight.
