1) Preamble

As breath’s created, sustained and destroyed,
we see trika, threefold aspect at play
through life, where we are by ego decoyed,
until we choose to make love our mainstay.
Beyond religions, scriptures and folklore,
let’s explore the direct path...

"The Returning" 

Inside us all 
a strange forest

where light and dark 
are fed to us by 
curious creatures,
their unexpected gods 

in thoughts and deeds
joy and fear 
hate and love 
belief and disbelief

inwards
our dreams 
turn to
The...

The words are dark, sharp,vicious, viscous.
The images like bubbling, darkest jam,
With bubble like grim faces riding to the surface
Then bursting.
I am thirsting.Alternately with blood and bile,black.

A pillow filled with rotten meat
For...

I’ve often wondered, what it’s really like, to be lost
I mean I’ve been lost before; in fact, I’ve been lost, many times, at many levels

As a submissive and passive lad...

and boyish looking sexagenarian
with similar disposition,
I revel(ed) reading in general
(and spent carefree idle summer days
squirreled away with tomes
of posthumous authors)
buoyed aloft in seventh heaven
courtesy the treasure trove of books
occupying shelf...

by Max Burchett

As I was driving the usual way,
Out Chapman Road to start the day,
I saw him standing there.
I stopped and had to stare.

I was shocked to see
The face of someone I had seen,
Never in...

He erases the darkness of night, the shadows
So alive in the heart who grieves, 
Silencing the beautiful, the breathtaking, the blessings
With the dawn, sunrise comes to life,
Whispering wonders into the spirit who hears
His voice, in...

As I sat on the ledge looking up to the sky
I asked my Father the W's
The when's, the what's, the where's, the why's

So many places in this world to see
So many places I'd rather be
Bland,...

So many years ago when I was young
And life was but a dream
An enchanted princess came to call
Upon the Castle Abilene 

From out the forest 
From out the cloud
From out the living dream
An enchanted...

From days when I was younger?

Thus the day started with the norm, children playing in the storm

Feelings so hungry, hunger galore, a pain that never goes away that I do not adore

Crying in such a way that seem to stay

wrapped innocence
I want  to  lie in this bed
bright red and glistening
 think for yourself 
chase tails of dogma
say no evil but show me rythmicly
all of your intentions 
and then run away

Part One- Reality

The door is closing
I’m loath to close it
And yet….and yet
I feel….I must
Close it gently
Close is surely
Close it….SLOWLY
Oh, so very slowly
Hoping against hope

Part Two- Fantasy

How I long to fling it open
And dash outside
Grab your...

Will we really find true happiness,
A place to which we can escape,
A place where there are no worries of the future,
Where we,...

The endless spiral downward still persists.
Friends have been lost, no longer exist.
Life is strange, wipe me off the list.

Have no wife, no kids, no job.
And yes, I live the...
