Long Eye of the hurricane Poems

A born lioness my untamed heart? ha! 
a mouse, this pulsing token ruled by unruly wants
at times given, traded or stolen - sometimes
thrown down on a dare to be won or lost 
till it became...

I CAN’T BREATHE

I am being suffocated by causes.
Will we march Quixote-like
enraged by the spinning of the windmills?
We protest the wars carrying placards
while expecting others to carry arms,
praise God and worship Jesus while
condemning all others to...

I am being suffocated by causes.
Will we march Quixote-like
enraged by the spinning of the windmills?
We protest the wars carrying placards
while expecting others to carry arms,
praise God and worship Jesus while
condemning all others to eternal damnation.

The Eye of the Hurricane

 When all conditions have come together
And we have taken notice of the strength 
We like to name them and keep track
Of them moving across the ocean floors
The eye is considered...

THE DALLAS COWBOYS

Can you not hear the rumblings of that distant herd coming,
The loud thundering of destiny’s champions crossing, the NFL
Field of dreams, beware the rampaging lightening team known
As the Dallas Cowboys, for they are...

Resurrections lone fallen spiritual being, kneeling within the darkness of mine
Own tormented soul, broken, fractured at fetters ivory appendages, a flightless
Angelic Dark winged angel standing alone, weeping in the nights blackened clouds of utter blindness,...

Soon I will be traveling      
To the valley of the stars 
And the shoreline of the Milky Way
Where near connects to far.

My senses fading rapidly
As darkness closes in
Like a fog...

Run, jump and frolic with childhood abandonment,
Grab down, that dusty old mason jar, recapture
The lightening in the bottle, of yesteryear’s remembrance.
Refresh one's youthful heart, in the memories evergreen
Pastures called imagination.
In the meadows of human thought,...

I’m tired.
Not the kind you sleep off—
the kind that settles in your bones
like a storm that never passes.

I’m tired of checking the volume
of my laughter
like it’s a detonator.
Of reading the room
like it’s a battlefield—
every silence...

Safe, at long last,
behind closed, locked doors and windows,
behind heavy, hanging, purple drapery:
plush, pellucid, subterranean refuge.

Far from the proverbial maddening crowd,
out of sight: a dimly lit room, bathed in
soft, golden reflections.  In the centre...

And what did you see, my darling young one?

I saw images on my cellphone put on by the twisted

The pages meet my fingertips again
Tenderly guiding the ink, as if it were rotten bile
Channelling all away

The illusory script does not function
To the disappointment of myself and the happiness of...

the eye of the hurricane is still
humming silently with potent power
as is the animated stillness continuum 
preceding the emission of heart’s pure intent

thought cessation of consciousness self-aware
holding erect all energies in perfect balance
enlivens the bardo...

Lightening flashes
and thunder crashes,
    Rains flow
and winds blow.

The Storm is upon me
and I’m caught unprepared.

Such thoughts I’m thinking
    and feelings I’m feeling – 
    as never...

found within the many
rather than the few
the hope of wrongdoing

(happenings which may have no explanation
worthy of the damage done
to self, to family, to friends
spontaneously aroused by 
incessant turmoil whose cause
cannot be determined to be

Tossed about through the turbulence of life,
    Confusion remains to search for a seed.

The lights went out.
The trees were torn.
The sky was gray.
The night was born.
The lightning crashed.
The thunder roared.

We were caught in the eye of the hurricane.
We were caught in the eye of the storm.
We were caught...

Knowing eye of the hurricane is still,
Heart’s tranquil in the void of cessation,
Simply allowing God to do His will.

All that’s manifest, is God’s creation.
The table’s laid, everything’s ready made;
Heart’s tranquil in the void of cessation.

In his eyes I see tomorrow
he is the holder of all my time

holding rainbow colored sand

His touch is healing and divine
like the warmest sun 
in summer time
his words are like seashells

Winds came with no warning

Vicious sound of voices whipping in circles

I struggle to shelter the needy

And in a flash-I'm gone

 

I'm in the eye of the hurricane

I see what others have closed their eyes to

I found the feelings freezer burned;
I never thought I would’ve turned,
But it’s a crazy world we’ve learned
And I just want to trust you.

Control my thoughts and curse the days
I contemplate my busy ways,
But you despise...
