Long Misaligned Poems

The pencil now resting the image was 'testing' for the creature before him, (his badly-drawn drawin') had come out 'not right' somewhat twisted and tight.

The picture in question, it burst with suggestion, for lines that...

The Tyrant

Was born ginger
and learned WhiteRacist
from Dad
dead now about a year.

Possibly opioid addiction
but certainly something
in growing families
of yin-suppressed
self-medicating
LeftBrain too dominant
addictions
to chemical acclimations.

Dad left by death
Tyrant's also addicted
and chronically depressed mother
And his only white racist

recognition of our true constitution reveals
we are not merely limited mind-body combine
our soul being encased in five sheaths or coverings
of which the first and grossest is the material organism
the second our pranic energy field, which...

As I awake this morning
I remember a Barney song 
for my more oppositionally misaligned daughter.

I love you
and you love me
even if I couldn't realign my four B's,
Brain,
and Branches,
and Belly,
and Butt, 
these four aligned
good government.

If you...

“You are not the body
You do not have a body
You neither do nor enjoy
You are Awareness only--the timeless Witness
You are free
Go in happiness”

are attributes of the mind
You are not the mind
You are Consciousness...

I'm making pipe bombs out of all the 
momentum you stole from me. 
All the skipped heartbeats. All the hesitation- 
potential energy. You made me unsure of what 
it meant to be, worthy. 
I'm stockpiling...

In the beginning, all that was, was living light eternal
Vibrant in time and space dissolved ineffable peace
Pulsating endlessly in a singularity transcendental 
Sans identity, with no attribute, we were and still are
One without a second,...

Predictions work in twists of what makes life workable
High and often misconstrued by the dogma of science
Lies and damned lies and statistics for the insecure
Foes foretold surprise when the blindfolds shed masks
In the light of...

I woke up aware just not responsive. I did not connect with any stored knowledge. Like when your computer is shut down improperly and Windows is not set at start on next boot. All that...

“be at ease, oh hermit, in thought free awareness
you are, as you are complete, one with that oneness”

Let us be clear
We are here
In this mind body
Endowed 
With senses five
Having polarities
Out of which 
The inner is...

It shouted to him from the rooftops and he was prepared to jump

Sadness and bitter oblivion pointed the way from screaming nowhere

A cherished childhood spent cocooned in my inward-looking community,
Protected me from the indoctrination of a white-privileged history.
But when I stepped into a world where brown was under-represented
My identity…Was molested.

My speech, skin, hair and dress, seemed...

I felt ashamed when I realized that, in fact,
Life is a masquerade party, where I stood without a mask,
I wandered with my uncovered face beneath the chandeliers,
Among specters and shadows hiding their secrets under false...

I spoke with truth — no veil, no guise,
No games behind another’s eyes.
No shadows cast, no whispered name,
Just open words, without the blame.

A fleeting glimpse, a passing grace,
One moment time cannot erase.
No reply, no echo...

The Lyrical man of passion’s sacred song,
Gave his heart away to the Caribbean Queen,
In the fine crystal glasses of fine champion of desires lust,
Did he so drown, beneath the frothy waves of the tropical sun?

Somewhere in the pretty petty imaginary illusion of delusion
There lies a truth an edifice of search between obtuse confusion

Windows like brick walls and concrete blocks birthing the light
Nails to be nailed screws to be screwed...

“The body is strained by practices
The tongue tires of scripture
The mind numbs with meditation
Detached from all this,
I live as I am”


The matrix of in-form body consciousness 
Employs limited bandwidths of vibration
Perceiving with defective awareness
Interpreting in...

I believe I can visualize a bird and a tree.
This is something I could describe as poetry.
As yet, allow your inner poem to flow freely.
It offers a firm base on which to uplift deeply.

The beauty...

Last weekend was “Parent’s” weekend at Yale. A time when parents are formally invited to visit. They have receptions and other events - but no potato-sack races (which is disappointing). My parents couldn’t come, they’ve...

conditioned since birth, to pursue interests self-serving 
consciousness soon hypnotised amidst myriad desires
head and heart misaligned, fierce rivals for attention
delusion that we are only mind body doomed to die
causing fearful anxiety, objects of desire vanishing

A peeping eye, like pendulum, swinging through the keyhole.
Just to pass the time.
It's a curious thing.
Flicks transfixed betwixed the clicks of the ticks of the clock as it shifts.
What is it seeking?
Is it trying to...

“Where is the doer or enjoyer?
Where is the origin or end of thought? 
Where is direct or reflected knowledge? 
There is no person here”

Fearfully awesome bumps
lumps
crumps
slumps in powerful night
become reassuring natural dynamic spirits
with first overpowering light.

Bumps in angry nights
may retributively escalate punishing
darker climates of mutual lasting Hate,
And milder short-term disassociations,
more competing human Natures
idolized above Earth
invested democratic-rooted Spirits.

1. I have spent time with numerous women, engaging in relationships that were often superficial. I have shared moments of intimacy and, regrettably, have caused heartbreak in many love stories that ultimately felt misaligned with...
