Long Unclogged Poems

V. 1: I have been grimacing lately
I have been loving you extremely
I’m looking forward to going to Oregon
We welcome the sun, we welcome the sun

Pre-chorus: God, have mercy on my weary soul
Have mercy spiritually speaking
Passion...

"The streams are my veins." 


Can you hear the drum beats of fear as do I?
Does the mere sound of these fears make you want to CRY?
You don't want to believe it, and hope it's...

The Ruba’iyat of Créteil Lake – Part Twenty-Nine

“Sire!” cried a lame yea-sayer: “I know this mad hookah addict!”
“Then drag him here by the scruff of neck be it hook or by trick!
But first when thou...

Things have changed worldwide today, but not the joy
Of spring. The sounds I heard when yet a child
Of cataracts tumbling with joy, the air rinsed of alloy
And magic in all things pastoral, all things wild

The penultimate decadal chronicle so very exciting 
The twentieth century wrote through the eighties
My young mind marveled at how the pages were turning
Frayed memory still preserves them as a living treatise
Of times underscoring the arrival...

I fell this morning-
Stumbled over fear, surrender my bitter dressings
Kissing the distance of sanity 
Defying gravity 
Levitating toward the inevitable 

Plunging into the comfort of solace fed into my spirit as joy becomes mine 
Shoulders...

I'm truly sorry for those that died.
From that cheeky little FauchXI virus...
The millions that lost jobs.
and those demonized for deflecting 
the virgin big pharma prick-

I'm embarrassed to say that I thrived. 
During the height of...

I believe in Love.
I BELIEVE in Love.

My faith rests assured.
Not on fabled promises, or
Test tube guesses.
My heart has felt the Motive Force.
My eyes have seen the good resurrect.
Love permeates the universe.
Its power is potential
Untapped.
Not waiting...

Across an azure sky
 i trailed lonely as clouds
Lost and broken
you unlocked my handcuffs
you are the love,you are the lover

In the ambiguity of reverberence and sonority
 my soul was asleep
 i awakened at the rhythms...

This bodily form here
Is where love spears
We choose separation
Then yearn for union
Thus creating a longing
To fill what is lacking

This game of pretence
Easy if played in innocence 
However, owing to amnesia
Life becomes an enigma
By illusions hypnotised

The sweat beads sparkle on her fair forehead
She is selling fish in her black sari
A little money for her daily bread
In the black slum she lives in a shanty

While she cleans and slices into pieces
Sweat...

Drowned in unclogged arteries:
          thoughts.
I am going to release a swarm
         of bees. It was your dark hour.

There are those moments…..

			spontaneous expressions
							of life
finding expression
		through the eyes
				…the voice
					    …the hands
							…the pen
	a focus
		…centering in the being

	a channel
			…unclogged

an echo
		….without reverberation

	a joy
		…centering in the being

focused
		….without aim

channeling
			….its truth

echoing
			…in chambered moment

the spontaneity
			…..of now.
