Long Externals Poems

Prelude to what…..

I see you,  /  you / yes, come into my…… 
laboratory of alchemist mystical languaging.
where arsenic spills into the whirlpool of thought 
and savage syntax shatter like glass on concrete.

Where Titans...

I’ve died many times
And not been reborn.
Nine lives were mine; 
Now two.  Or three.  
Or one; 
This one, the last.
I am the cat,
But that’s not the answer.

I am for you to tell.

My kind...

We are all improbable in our own way, 
and who can augur the future?  
I never could have laid out my course in advance, 
though in looking back it all makes sense, 
even if...

lub dub, lub dub  echoes of the heart
just one sound that will tear it apart
its reins will tighten and choke the air sacks
fuselage lines squeezed  from the fortress of  plaques

the alarm is...

Hoping to acquire daily integrity
she shopped for appropriate night time analogies

Conscious through correlational ecological relationships
he was found rooting through ancient creation theology

She felt Goddess light
through changing internal enrichment
in dialectal process development
becoming analogous spirited Beauty.

I would like to be open to love one like you,
With no judgment or cause (like morality’s laws),
A soft posture brings echoes of love from the past,
Some apparel suggests I, perhaps, should leave fast.
But externals...

I know well of a cat's ear, eye, nose, teeth, coat, paws and claws,
Do I know, what's behind its look and mysterious pause?
I know a dog's acute sense of smell; muscles and fingers,
Do I know...

She tried to push her emotions down
Consuming externals seemed to help ease her pain
She cried herself to sleep most nights
Convinced, nothing in her life would ever change

The emotions, she had left them unattended
They just grew...

"Short Night of the Dark Christmas"

short night of the dark Christmas
means home alone, for some,
but heck get real, 

no one 
is truly alone, never,
even when reality conspires 

to suggest 
otherwise, 
close your eyes

open your mind

in spring, we take birth
mindfully enjoying in mirth
summer doth create
heat of passion we procreate

then comes autumn bright
shedding everything, we feel light
in the winter of life
barren, we shiver in strife

there's beauty in each season
everything created with...

Uncomfortable with our dialogue
Discombobulated by what you see
It appears the narrative of your childhood
Is challenged by a different philosophy

I speak of eudaimonia
Euthymia - energetic tranquility
To live life in the moment
To love your fate - life...

Now each time I see Bob, seems I make a new friend,
The externals are constant, internals though change
(And with scarcely a ripple)! Things 'now' feel so strange.
It's like watching a child grow, except the reverse,
Or...

Eureka of Archimedes was part of his daydream,
Thomas Edison nurtured his dream in bright light like gleam;
Could sleep ever overwhelm Alexander Graham Bell,
Till he heard the noise from the other and fell in a spell...?

In life's unfolding, through this transient phase,
I witness kin and friends succumb to age's haze.
The pain and agony of their loss, echo in our hearts,
Time may heal, but leaves indelible, mental charts.
Existence's truth, beyond forms...

Once again the silvery moon has pilfered the golden sun
Total eclipse is upon me, time has elapsed suspending orange
Twilight’s begun on the orb’s descending softer glow 

Veiled in twilight…      ...

I journey in thoughts in breathless strolls
every turn straightened, and bumps made smooth
my life whose trust in God, faith controls
pass sparked eyes, climbed smiles, the wealth of souls
perks in life that gift my heart and...

There's a perturbation beneath the surface
An impulsive dilemma of wants and needs 
It's a cognitive battle
Should I refrain, or should I feed?

The desires are instinctive
The hardwired cravings are insatiable inside
Change is like trying to outrun...

Dissecting this heart from externals seeping surge; unknowing infiltrations 

Betwixt a distant and different shade in time; an enemy's blinding dagger.... 

Grasped by my very own hands; a reply, to accept this tango; mesmerized 

While...

Know thyself
Confusing – maybe?
The reality - we are all we’ll ever have
Personal awareness is of utmost importance - indeed

Evolutionary dialectical battle
Vociferous the subconscious mind 
Perpetual synaptic reactions
Unexamined – troubled - unkind

Awareness precedes Transformation
Transformation – Holy...

There is a place of peacefulness and gentle waves.
I speak not of a hidden tunnel in a lovely cave.

I speak not of heaven, that final place of rest.
It mostly is a state of being when...

Appreciation of this art
comes from appreciation
of  Non-dual Reality
in which we are all immersed..
This ubiquitous camera
comes as attachment to our
ubiquitous mobile phones..
It is the dream of photographers
with fondest wish to be
ready when the subject...
