So many people and the various sores
Intoxicated in such a way my eyes,
That wanted open to crying their doors.

But Virgil told : “What for you look this guise?
Why now your sight is so carefully brought

inside out, cut open
like a tennis ball
I used to beat backhand
along with the racket
hard against the garage wall

To make sense of it all
as a child, the grief stolen
all too swiftly and replaced...

The flames of the furnace (well-travelled by wind
slowly glazing the rags of gray women chagrined

Through my bloodstream pulsing,
Insidious poison runs rampant.
I open veins willingly for more,
And the hidden addict slams the door.

The insurgents are loose and swelling,
The castle has been breached.
The moat of my memory recedes,
As the hidden addicts...

I had been placed in chains 
Where the cripples shed their canes 
And the blind regained the art of seeing.

Terrorism is a villainous violence, 
Used by those who disagree,
Bloodshed breaks the somber silence,
Between those who feel unfree. 

However, when one disagrees
With how the system works,

An eerie sway casts halos in the night sky.

The mist in Regent Gardens air
awakes a single rosebud there.
Her scent drifts past Trafalgar Square -

Little did you realise, how highly you’d rate.

With grand halls and ceilings and banisters gleaming. 

When people come to visit, it’s like they are dreaming.

No detail too small, overlooked...

Oneness with 'the Absolute'...!


Dying to the moment - every moment,
that we can't even stake claim as a regent!

Resulting restlessness that we can prevent,
all the illusion in the mind of each and every event.

Treading path effortlessly into a raging...
