“Have you ever been in love?” He asked.
“Ugh,” I groaned. “I love tech,” I revealed, “oh, and the Internet,” I confessed, “I LOVE the Internet!”
He looked disappointed. “You know what I mean,” he said.
I sighed. It’s hard to escape the long shadows cast by experiences and expectations.
“Love’s inscrutable!” I said, helpfully.
“Maybe I’ve never been in a relationship long enough for it to be love?” I asked the universe.
He tilted his head as if he were calculating something.
“What IS love anyway?” I asked. “Does love have to be an instant transcendence?”
“This isn’t going well”, I thought, his silence stood out like a curse in a cathedral.
“Let’s go to Dairy Queen!” I suggested, because that ALWAYS makes things better.
“I need an ice cream,” I said, as he looked ready to say something but didn't, “cake.” I finished.
Répéter Depuis le Début
The Pink Studio, by Henri Matisse, 1911.
Perception fuses like melted rose quartz,
fuses on the lens of Matisse’s puzzled eyes
like the naiveté of childhood returned to age.
Melted images rose in two dimensions,
rose in repetition, mothering the pieces.
Quartz, genteel rosé, shown in transcendence,
fuses on the lens of Matisse’s puzzled eyes
on naysayers & followers, his morphosis reigns.
The stimulus silent, light’s effect returned, burned
lens now open to the madness of pattern, pieces
of left brain obliterated; right reinforced; art,
Matisse’s obsession oozed from his pores
puzzled synapses explored and explored,
eyes dry as a bone, from sleepless nights, sigh.
Like the naiveté of childhood returned to age,
the Madonna appears, or the muse Aphrodite reborn,
naiveté sexless tasted clean, pure, purged in white.
Of the patterns outside, he’d reproduce those within
childhood wide-eyed he approached & there he
returned again & again paying homage to the core,
to reiterate images in pieces of two dimensions
age left the left brain obliterated – reinforced the right.
Melted images rose in two dimensions.
Images, giving meaning to negative space,
rose ground beneath the pestle of repetition
in loops, sockets, knobs, holes, tabs, slots & keys
two halves male-female, left-right, up-down
dimensions all an idiocracy depicted his fright,
rose in repetition, mothering pieces,
in loops, sockets, knobs, holes, tabs, slots & keys
repetition reiterated, quartz ground beneath the pestle
mothering the pieces of two dimensions,
pieces of puzzles conjoining parts triangularly staged.
Quartz, genteel rosé, shown in transcendence.
Genteel, childlike, Matisse adored illumination, art
rose with repetition, a mothering of the pieces,
shown in the dance, in stance, in transfigured delight,
in loops, sockets, knobs, holes, tabs, slots & keys,
transcendence an illusion, of optics, of light.

Autumn leaves us saddened!
dazzling with tapestry of gems sprawled
on the ground are flowers of the season,
unique artwork of nature soothing our eyes with
gossamer golden light of the universe!
Autumn, O Autumn, goddess of beauty,
your melting colours unravel an irresistible aura
that bewitches human soul with desire, but
envelops with tranquility, and peace!
Leaves twirling, leaves afloat, leaves
shredded on the carpet of the forest,
remind the impermanence of physical
beauty, and transcendence of human
soul with the eternity!
Some day my crimson hopes and dreams
scattered on the earth will symbolize
the inevitability, the transience of our
existence - still, what's wrong in dreaming?
The way fall leaves dream
their spectacular comeback every year!
In my layman experience
Of sixty-seven years of dreaming
It is clear to me
Dreams have many special qualities
Of significance beyond waking experience;
1. they can be portals to other realms
2. they can reveal depths of emotion vaster than ordinary human expression
3. they can give greater pleasure than in embodied waking life
4. they can give greater pain than in embodied waking life
5. they can lead to encounters with beings outside one’s own psyche
6. they can give you experience of death
7. they can give you experience of being different people
8. they can give you experience of being different objects
9. they can show you deep patterns of unresolved psychic hope and fear in yourself
10. they can show you deep patterns of unresolved psychic hope and feat in humanity
11. they can allow you to experience states of mind outside of mind itself
12. they can allow you to experience complete and perfect transcendence
In other words, the dream is a complete world
Of experience, both personal and transpersonal
Really no different than the waking one
In essence if not in kind.
In waking life you may have magical thinking
In dreams it can become magical being
Oh, and in the dream;
13. anything is possible to occur to communicate what you are ready to learn
14. you do not need to remember it or even know it has happened to experience it and learn from it

Fere;
Sudden danger peril distressed
Harm deception everything forget
Run face everything and rise
Choice is yours to accept
Fierce fear or deny add a motion
Fear helps protect us or does it deceive us
It will rise and fall
Feeling afraid is very natural
A warning emotional actual;
Afraid of scarcity are we a witness;
Accelerated aging premature death;
Damages to our mindset;
Fere
Fear of flying fear of close spaces fear of insects;
And fear of snakes storms and needles fears;
Fears of dogs a fear of drowning in water;
Minifigures fears applied serious control;
And dismissings of fears thinking a factor of fears;
Loneliness time roots of fear dread;
Constellations dismayed;
Preeminence I inhaled;
My conservation dismay;
Proposed my dread consternation dismayed;
All just inside my head;
Inside my head stop thinking about the dismay;
Fere
Is not;
Put away this emotion I say ;
Fear is a cognizant thought;
Fere just at naught?

Silver light splashed through the town,
It's greatest spires seeming drowned
Beneath the welling, leaping tide
Of luminescence---
And those who stood amidst the light,
Receiving gifts of sound and sight
To penetrate the deepest night,
Their arms, accepting, outstretched wide,
In Human Presence
Glorying,
Found true transcendence---
Peace they found, that would abide
Within the heart, safe from the blight
Of mankind's seeming need to fight
To prove the truth of might makes right---
And new in essence
Were the bonds that hold the bride
Unto her mate securely bound---
And Love, no longer lost but found
Decided to kick off Her shoes and stay.
In the shadow of reason, a forsaken house can be glimpsed,
An forgotten place, where memories are just pale echoes.
In the pockets of the soul, unachievements linger,
Massive dreams, lacking the spark that could be.
On the field of reason, a freshly-sprung meadow stretches,
And that familiar white fence, vanishes into the void of dreams.
The word "important" gets lost, melts into oblivion,
Nothing from "in reason" leaves traces in the world of revelations.
But when you abandon reason, you unshackle the chains of the impossible,
It, the brother of reason, two faces of the same mythical being.
One spits fire and brimstone, the other lives without hope,
Together, eternally bound, Yin and Yang, in the dance of times.
They were once a purpose, a subtle promise of the possible,
They had a "something", a "maybe", a fine thread of hope,
At the end, only a pale echo of a forsaken dream remains.
Dream of gates opening,
When "impossible" is erased from your restless heart.
In the depths of darkness, in the cry of "no",
In the absurdity of abandoning reason,
There you will find the essence of metamorphosis,
There where the perfect circle of invention was born.
With the black shovel, dig through bone,
Through the skull, touch the core of thought,
Cross the heart, the depths of being.
There, on the fine line between madness and enlightenment,
There is the path, the untrodden road.
Forsake reason, leave behind old dogmas,
Fly on the unbounded wings of freedom,
Show your true nature, unleash your wild spirit.
Let the lights shine, let the scene of life ignite,
DANCE!
In this mystic journey, beyond the bounds of reason,
In this dance of the liberated spirit,
Discover the world born from the abandonment of constraints,
Where genius and madness meet, in a waltz of transcendence.
TRANSCENDENCE
Start Rhapsody of life
on oath of Truth
through prelude in bold tune
having firm faith
passing to interlude of your mission
with clear vision
overcoming confusion
of falsehood.
Drive out
weak doubt
on quick decision
with clear vision
chasing hesitation
of evil attitude.
Melody to resonate
Sublime Soul pulsate
Conflict and strife
to put reverence in life
Grief be your great wealth.
Oh! Lone passenger
Be God's messenger
Your song to conclude
take your last breath
transcending Death
