Remembering a tune sung so long ago,
A great song grieving for the incessant wars...

It has done more harm than good

When I wore the abyss shirt with a hood…

Darkness will disappear drastically
Crows get scared away...

The Golden Pen
Lightly the rain falls upon the lamp lit streets, the shabbily dressed figure
Walks with an air of uncertainty down the cobbled stone streets, leaning,
On his rickety cane, the elderly gentleman huddles beneath his umbrella Of...

Non-duality
This is an old poem written sometime in 2018 or so ~
On first glance
We ...
Meaning our consciousness
In its unconscious form
Knows only duality
Separateness
Ego
This knowing
Of duality
Is the truth
For unevolved consciousness
For, on the surface
That is...

The Whirled In Between
"The Whirled In Between"
What dreams
in the time of
not thinking
we spent aeons
in conversations
with the unbelieved
deliberating
choices towards
our liberation
traversed
contracts written
by the unseen
such wordy
reams offered, the
scrolling walls speaking
wailing towards

The Phenomenal Transient World
"The Phenomenal Transient World"
I had a thought
it came
from Me
that internal Me
the Me, that Is,
I Am
It traversed a
world outwards
from inside
like the rings
recorded in the
trunk of a tree
like the rings
of water rippling
skipping...

Afterglow
I was an artistic, floral designer, intoxicated by the sweet-smelling blooms,
Like magenta butterfly swarms, at a standstill, intoxicated by floral fumes.
Gold days were full of my bloom designs, each one so original and unique,
Just as...

About a Girl
The problem is her lips.
They don't form smiles any more than waves decide of their own accord
to lift themselves up off of the ocean's surface.
And if lips are meant to be drowsy shutters
then hers...

I Toss Another Stone
You throw a rock into a pool.
Watch the concentric ring slowly expand
from its point of origin.
Its curvature infinite. Shape pristine.
And yet... there it dissipates
at the subtle sternness of the wind.
To blend with all the other...

My Face, My Secrets
There’s one thing that bonds animal to man,
That unites the wild with the caged,
Those captivated within bondage and those roaming free; disengaged.
At a first wandering gaze or slinking inquisitive eye,
One may be misled in the...

The Latin Dancers
Midnight was approaching and the dance floor was stark
Colors of the spectrum were weaving and leaving their mark
Lights spun in brilliant flashes of reds, greens and blues.
Sparse bodies were gyrating as if music pulsated the...

A Warm Summers Day
After many years I paid a rare visit to the woods from my long ago childhood days,

"Living"
That one-eyed god,
that strange god
the colour of the sun,
leonine, speaks
in strange ways to me,
waking me up
purring seductively,
message received
obliquely through
the smaller
sentient sapient,
strange little creatures
of large stature visiting,
just like
I am,
visiting,
that...

The Alamo
An earthen gray memorial stands alone against
A rugged desert landscape, built by the mortal
Hands of the faithful.
No bells do ring, in the churches steeple, but in the
Heart of Texas it's sounding message can never
Be silenced,...

Ripples and Tracks, Dreams and Memories
Lakes and beaches are wiped clean like a whiteboard,
each day by waves, tide, wind.
Then marks of ripples and tracks provide transient tell-tales
of what has gone on since, of what is yet to come.
What caused...
