Nothing Really Matters

Lately everything seems to be surrounded in darkness
Either I am way too close or too far away
When I stand close I perfectly see the flickering light ahead
How close it is but when I reach it.. it just disappears
I can't seem to grasp anything that's around me anymore
When I touch it, it just turns to ash... 

Seems I have lost the will to do much anything
Sometimes I find myself starring at white walls..
I forgot to think.. maybe I will forget to breath too

The image of the world in my head.. is so different from what I see... with my eyes
Is reality an allusion or is the world in my head.. 

Darkness surrounding everyone I stand close to
You see them fade in and out like a hologram
When you reach out to touch them.. they are not real
Sometimes they just.. disappear 
Then I find myself searching for what I used to know

Seems the world in my head.. is not so bright and colorful anymore
Either everyone is stuck in the past with me.. or they are moving forward..
I am watching them pass me by as I stay within the realm I am used to knowing

No matter how many times I change my appearance..
Everything stays the same... and I realize..
All the people I know.. 
In the end. .. nothing really matters...

Everything you knew..
Everything you have touched..

Everyone you have loved
Everyone you once cared for

All the lessons you learned...
what are they for?...

Is it better to be... alone..
Where there is no pain in a relationship with another..
I can no longer get close to anyone..
I find myself.. stepping further and further back
Yet I cannot stop myself... there is no rope to grab..

Which world would I rather live in.. the one i see with my eyes.. or the one in my head...

They both have become.. one of the same... covered and smeared in blood.. 
Darkness...

I have no reflection in the mirror.. and I can feel my soul slipping from within me
All I see.. is cracks.. where my soul is leaking its way out..
Yet no band-aid or super glue.. could help cover it

Hallow...

Nothing can save you now.. because you realize... the truth..
Once your world is coming to an end.. it wont matter.. 
You will not remember.. you wont be able to feel.. 

Somehow, even with this darkness and being surrounded by darkness
Having the feeling of comfort and a blind happiness

Everything is perfectly where it belongs...

Into Slow Void, I Challenge Time

Cruelest thoughts overwhelm
beyond the patrol
beyond the drowning sunlight
firelight creeping up my back,
grab your camera and attack
a moment that doesn't hear
the glowing blue
I should have kept in a faerie jar

ajar is my mind,
hinges broken, hinges built
100 years ago, the repairman's dead
like the postcard I still cherish
oh it has arrived uninvited again, this pain
this favorite feeling flowers
when the spoken dagger
lathered
in poisonous affection
takes the habitual plunge 
into pulsing core, and oh
she cannot feel the swirling madness fought
no, that is the worst of it all, she knows not of this
chest clutched, scream schooner, a whirlwind
through every room
each white convulsing
red cherries in time
after Euphrates dries
and Hyde's head screws back on.

I am fine. Everything smiles.

Oozing cryptically, cryptic cryptic don't let them know
that beyond a year ago, 

Into slow void, I challenge Time,
I challenge
the non-existent;
I challenge 
myself,
and discover...

Don't go back to the fireless rooms?
The fireless rooms 
were never places.
The fireless rooms 
were never avoidable.
Forlorn freedoms flung farthest 
feasting from fear-falling
feint faithfully; fictitiously.

In a lone, innocent desire, the perfect jazz song is playing
it is her favorite song
her unavoidable song on every playlist
as a hallow briar floats by,
knows why
and where
and who I truly am,
knows the buried youth,
and the noxious adult of hap.

I am swinging again. He is swinging again. 
That youth,
that whippersnapper. 

That fool.

Going too fast. Too fast for his Truth to catch up.

Agony! Laugh at me!

Dig those heals in, heels into the ground, digging
into that old world 
of a hosted carnival
that kept the best parts of our personalities. Kept the parts
everyone loved the most
at the top of that ferris wheel,
ecstasy eyes embracing the stars
that would later become supernovas inside
black fire death-in-life,
a death of slow pain would be lovely
masochist!
if only I could hold death as a moment,
death it and then command death
sic death upon evil
and witness true happiness
for the entire world.

Death...
and slow will be...
my descent once again...

Inebriation. 
To Sleep. To Machination. Avoid the void...

A love for the forbidden fruit.

Vasava - An Untold Story 10/Many

Vasava – An untold story                                                               10/Many


Curtains made of Silk with gold thread embroidery  
Were hanging on all the doors and windows of the auditorium
Big silk curtains, were hanging behind the dance stage
Shining and blinking,  because of gold and silver on them, 
Were brightening the dance stage, making it bright like a day

Beautiful Persian carpets were displayed 
Covering the entire auditorium, where the guests were sitting
A thin such carpet was also lying, all around the stage
Leaving the dance floor, which was made of Mahogany wood 
On which, Vasava was sitting to start her first Raga of the day

All the eyes were drinking the nectar like wine of Vasava
So lovely were her looks and so intoxicating was her youth
The beauty of her spotless body, was spreading its charms
Which was coming out, from every part of her body, specially 
The matchless beauty of her eyes, legs, waist, hands and bosoms

King Suyodhan was invited on the stage to declare the Utsava to begin
And then appeared the attraction of the Utsava or the day, Vasava
The drums and musical instruments began to flow their sounds
The team of musicians accompanying Vasava, took seat near her
Suddenly all became speechless, so that they may not miss a word of her singing

Vasava’s face appears to have taken, the beauty from full Moon glow
And the gold Noopur* which she wearing in her feet’s
Were ringing, on her leg’s movements, creating a melody on its own, 
Her recitation of Saraswati’s* prayer had already enthralled everyone
And now she was about to begin, her first performance of the day

* Gold Noopur		Noorpur means small bells, which dancers wear while 
                                                performing the dances in Indian. The Noopur which 
                                                Vasava was wearing were made of Gold. It creates a 
                                                sound on the movements of legs. Normally it is made
                                                of brass and many such are tied up in a cloth belt.

Dark Mermaid

My life and my love are the open sea. I do not fear her and she has come to respect this old sailor man. 

Alas, it may be that my life of bliss is only temporary because a magical conclave has condemned my tidal journey.

Today, you see, I crossed paths with a dark mermaid whose trickery has anchored my adventures with the briny deep. 

That salty wench took the wind out of my sails, leaving me as an empty hull, a moored starfish, writhing in the summer sand. 

The gypsy mermaid led me astray with her siren song of sea foam trysts and moonlit water dances. 

At once my eyes took sight of her damp bosom and over the bow of my beloved vessel I jumped, nary a hesitation. 

Stalwart journey lost.

I swam with all my might so that I could lay my weary head among her iridescent scales with the hope of exploring her seafaring mysteries.

In her arms I laid and to my dismay, the spectacle of a creature more hideous than any life form should spawn, violates all that I can see.

With a hiss more guttural than a sea serpent, she opened her maw.

To my eyes appeared a cavernous gap filled with remnants of my beloved ocean life.

Disgust crawled over my skin as I stepped away in horror, the stench of death permeating the air.

Falling back into the wet abyss I could hear the gypsy mermaid sing her song of death all around me.

Harder and harder I raked my bony appendages, struggling mightily to widen the wake until my despair took over. 

One last breath and I let my old friend the sea, take me away.

Fluttering slowly into the liquid unknown, I closed my weary eyes and let go.

At once I sputtered to life, woken by a brackish breeze on my check, burning eyes open as my spent body writhed in the hot sand.

My thoughts are a blur, no conscious desire to wonder upon my seemingly swift arrival to the quiet shore.

I live. 

While death continues to burn deep within the recesses of my throat and my heart beats, still I feel lifeless.

Death came for me in guise of that gypsy mermaid and I ran to her without pause, arms wide for embrace.

So, it seems not even the cooling swells are enough to secure me this earthly plane.

Clearly my soul longs for life in the blissful, ethereal realm.

Perhaps next time I cross paths with the gypsy mermaid I will give in to her voracious hallow.

Next time.

Less Than Human

Oh, I have become
Satisfyingly numb 
Conceal the way you feel tonight
Oh, I have succumb
To a saturated crumb
Deal with the pain I feel damn right

I...have...become...undone,
A neglected, sad boy
Ease the dread frustration
Just give me some joy

Give me this bravery 
Give me attention
The right that's loverly 
Feels like I'm in detention
But, Lithium gives a helium high
This rum and coke, I can't deny
Give me something more
Not this feeling of sore
I will soar somehow
I want to, want to now
Not another pill to swallow
Or I'll feel less than human and hallow

Heartache and sore throat
Got me by the gravity afloat
Got me in your grasp once more
Just let me free through that door
I have been down with the fever...
Yet, I survived and am a believer...

I...have...become...undone,
A neglected, sad boy
Ease the dread frustration
Just give me some joy

Give me this bravery 
Give me attention
The right that's loverly 
Feels like I'm in detention
But, Lithium gives a helium high
This rum and coke, I can't deny
Give me something more
Not this feeling of sore
I will soar somehow
I want to, want to now
Not another pill to swallow
Or I'll feel less human and hallow

Just think for a moment
Don't you want freedom?
Gotta start to repent...in my only tent...
Captivity makes us feel numb
Don't you want me to be happy?
Instead, you make me feel crappy

I...have...become...undone,
A neglected, sad boy
Ease the dread frustration
Just give me some joy

Give me this bravery 
Give me attention
The right that's loverly 
Feels like I'm in detention
But, Lithium gives a helium high
This rum and coke, I can't deny
Give me something more
Not this feeling of sore
I will soar somehow
I want to, want to now
Not another pill to swallow
Or I'll feel less human and hallow

Oooh...let me feel love above all
I'm sick of being as stiff as a wall
I wanna belong, so I made this longing, tear-jerking song
Hoping someone out there can relate and sing along...along...
I wanna be gone, so I grab remaining hope
I wanna belong, so let me sing as I hang on this radiant rope

Boy, I...have...become...undone,
A neglected, sad boy
Girl, ease the dread frustration
Just give me some joy
I never meant to annoy...
I want to...I want to bring you joy...
Hm, a bravery
That's loverly...

SUNdrenched sorrowS

Sundrenched sorrows
Sundrenched worries of tomorrow’s
Troublesome wind and rain
Driving me and you insane
I can’t be sane…

Anxious as always
It remains here to stay…
Going through these days
Of a grief-stricken sunray

Sundrenched sorrows…
Sundrenched sorrows…
There are no tomorrows
No time to yield a shield in hand
Understand where I stand…
I stand on pillars of rocks…
I cast away broken glass
My feet on the glistening grass…
The past in the past…
So listening to our future
I can’t go on
Can’t go on…the time is ticking too fast
My pain is rather vast…
So, endure…we’ll find a cure

Sundrenched sorrows
Sundrenched depression borrows
From my kingdom of loneliness
It’s a kind of pain and distress
I can’t really explain…

Anxious as always
It remains here to stay…
Going through these days
Of a grief-stricken sunray

Sundrenched sorrows…
Sundrenched sorrows…
There are no tomorrows
No time to yield a shield in hand
Understand where I stand…
I stand on pillars of rocks…
We are temples of the Lord of Accord
We are like a shield and a sword
I cast away broken glass
My feet on the grass…
The past in the past…
Well, I dwell in shadows
I can’t go on
Can’t go on…the time is ticking too fast
My pain is rather vast…
Silhouetted in sunlit glows

Sundrenched sorrows
Makes me feel hallow inside
Makes me empty, who knows…
Where the wicked wind will blow and subside…
Subside from my side…
Abide by His alone
You’re a tranquil tide
Not on your own…
Time…

Anxious as always
It remains here to stay…
Going through these days
Of a grief-stricken sunray

Anxious as always
It remains here to stay…
Going through these days
Of a grief-stricken sunray

Sundrenched sorrows
Sundrenched sorrows
They come and go
Sundrenched sorrows
Sundrenched sorrows
They blow to and fro
Like the wind and the rain 
The fiery darts of in-vain
Drives us all insane…
I lost my mind train…

After all, we are all; 
After all, we’re in appall
Sundrenched sorrows-bound
Sundrenched sorrows with no sound
Lost and found, so lost and found
Lost our way until we hit the ground 
Vigilant and tall…
Hear us as we call
Heal us through our fall…
Hear our free-falling, sorrowful call

We’re not garanteed tomorrow,
So let’s live in the now, you know?

Imagine; The giant from Jack and the beanstalk, deign

straddling an imaginary line

as a celebration and superstition with wine

with ancient Celtic festival of Samhain,

Quick With the Pen

quick with the pen you have a great deal communication
through words twisted on the vine such as the pale horse to be rode on
Their are simpler things in life such as the honey on the vine
a touch of a flying dash of patience to caress your timeless whisper
life give me the jitters enclosed in my want to be hand among men
the pile of terrific helpings of love sought after its flying dew
an impulse of letting go to congress care free

love is the melody to search from within
enclosed to simpler things the timeless brief cavity
lose touch in thee spread about so care free
awake to better days with a timeless parade

life is what you make it others seem to fake it
building blocks of trees resin among men
ample building plans we lay the score
busy as sought after ever more

building in sunshine muse for gas
we created the craft of building block the times you sought
standing idle near the pier all to draw so ever near
to building up my grocery bill

A time for a brevity pill...
watch the reigning imperial way
off of no display we leave a tray
stirring the pot of bygone moments

there is a castle in my mind
bold advances nothing wrong
sharpen the image of falling emblems
as if caged fury spot the center

we lay our head upon a bed of roses
cluster in the shade of purpose
we arrive directly strict like candy
a gun at hand may be quite dandy

gather through the nuts and bolts of indecision
come close to the age borrowed energy to behold
listen to the Willow tree warm to the smile
caress the Swan in which we can respond

following in the picture main frame residing fine
a clever walk through the valley the impulse grows
exploding dungeons to take you where you need to go
I'm next to doll face make no mistake the century warrior

from an impulse don to discover under the covers
leading strong to its start
as if Tapioca pudding surely melts in your mouth
an average Joe of the South

a brigade bandished onto its pleasant to light
gather never to give up on the fight
a section of a covering bent on forgiveness
in light of a dull leap in perpetual grace

in hallow leaves we are fortunate to behold
the way we swagger onto here below
moments to go a simple ego

Okay What Fiend Stole Thy Body Electric

Thine distorted reflection rippled 
within rain maker's pool 
   upon a midnight clear
full moonlight sonata 
   flooded shallow abyss, 
cleaved fractal structures of silence 
reverberating deathly hallow from 'ere
to infinity, whence magic wand 
whipped out from 
   whereabouts unknown 

wove disenchanting spell 
   atop me shaded noggin more'n 
   fifty ruffle lake  suns
   Dorian Gray pictured here
to fore, awakened 
   from drunken stupor, 
whence sober self 

saw repulsive trouper 
   fluid dynamic image jeer
at pot bellied, dead panned, 
and ad libbed the mere
ore image lam bent, 
   mutilated spindled 
various horrid aspects of 
   myself nine inch 
   rusty nails impaired 

which, aghast at such 
   creepy distortion i didst rear
like a bucking bronco unclear
how this horrid, jagged, 
   limned paragon did wear
a grotesque disfigured Joeseph Conrad
   lost within heart of darkness – maybe Zaire

or Zulu-land, this 
   soaked silhouette half bare
from waist to head showed unmanly 
sagging overly engorged breasts 
plus right and left elephant sized ear 
egad, THAT CANNOT BE ME, 

yet upon performing 
   self exam a glare
ring outburst ensued, 
cuz thy once 
   bronzed handsome physique 
now grist for a Joker to jeer
and fodder made 
   for television series created, 
directed, and executed by Norman Lear
which role might be 
   temporary for Halloween, but near
lee every SINGLE day and night, 
thy aged dusk fraught hominid jerked, 
leaped, pooh poohed I ham ill prepared 

to accept, roistering, rollicking, 
rueing this Frankenstein scarred
complex deplorable edifice able, 
ready, and willing to be tarred
rather than evince flabbiness, 
gruesome homeliness, instance 

when no objection would arise 
to live out the remaining days of this life
as the world wide web turns, spins, rattles...
and voluntarily sign myself into a stew ward
with (at minimum ), a ghoulish, gnarly, 
gummy self activated door 

leading to privet hedge row trimmed 
topiary resplendent yard
cuz every cotton pickin, friggin, 
fingerhut lickin portal iz barred
dated Friday the thirteenth 
   with **** face on that card!

Sitting With the Gardeners

A blank canvas 
an empty stage 
darkness in the primordial 
vacuum of stars and space 
a jug not yet filled 
a reed flute hallow
yearning for the paint 
yearning for the actors
yearning for the light
yearning for the water
yearning for the lips, breath 

We assembled that night 
one by one sat in a circle 
forming a ring of unity 
white, brown 
light, dark skin
diverse background 
diverse personalities 
in the end-human 
in the end-friends 
                brothers 

The smoke swirls, leaps 
from out mouths, colliding 
and spinning, a spider 
web of escaping essence 
listening to the music of the 
past, our ears leaping and 
taking in the goodness.

Out comes the poetry 
words of the past 
Whitman, Lawerence, Gibran 
Rumi-our hearts leap 
with the joy of such 
wisdom.
"Oh Captain, my Captain"
"God is born"
"On Pain" 
"Gardens of Soul"
Flowers in the garden 
we all are in a row 
taking in the sunshine 
rain and natural nutrition 
from the earth 
from the cosmos 
from the Soul 
from each other 

Sultans upon ottomans 
we recline, seeing what
no other pack can see
expressions rising and 
falling, the wave of 
imagination we glide
like the birds on a 
journey along
the Way, guiding and 
learning from each other 

We kick up the dust 
and go beyond the clouds 
beyond reason and 
heights, the sky breaking 
down, its doors letting 
down its guard, for us.

We are spinning with 
all the protons and
electrons, whirling and
spinning with all
of the cosmos as 
our playground. Finally 
we all return to our
couches and chairs, the 
time and hookah our
reminder of reality 
packing up, we the 
Caravan 

The Sage of Wisdom 
The Latin King of Knowledge 
The Doctor of the Soul 
The Romantic Seeker 
The One who always had a Poet in him

We all experienced our own 
Sema, our own level
of pure ecstasy, learning 
and loving each other 
Inspiration of infinity 

We will all meet again 

The canvas is painted
the stage has been set
the jug is brimming 
and the reed flute is
crying. 
But not for sadness 
or pure separation 
NO
it is singing for the 
bond of friendship
