Long Zero point Poems

Do you ever look forward to falling asleep...
In hopes of escaping into sweet dreams so deep? :)

If you dread nightmares, careful what TV you watch
(My advice: E.W.T.N. is topnotch!)

Could read the Bible till your eyelids...

They meet:
in the gathering of those who matter,
the high and mighty, the big and powerful
a post-conference period to socialize and acquaint,
Suits and gowns, holding half filled glass cups of wine
is the order and uniform of...

Why is it that every time I look in the mirror,
I see someone different?
I know it’s essentially me on the other side,
but I can’t help but think
that I’ve changed.
What’s even stranger is that
I can’t monitor...

There she is, rainbow hued, hazy viewed clues.
The whistle chimed waves clear her unspoken throat.
Pardon Lady's wispy tension, a molder of falling sand. 
A maker of details form the reality of dreamlife.
It is not man-made,...

What should I do? 
Should I give up my dream? 
Should I follow the stream? 
Should I become less extreme? 

What should I do? 
Should I grow old and die? 
Should I remember and cry?...

A mind is something not content
with stimulus-response,
but must go flying off
into the never lands
to see if they are there...
and when reporting back,
at best is greeted with a stare
of incredulity.

But minds are stubborn things
that go on...

What we affirm now, has been said before
but know dear soul, the word is not the thing
and so shifting from thinking to feeling,
being a melding of head with the heart,
in staid silence, negating all knowing,
ego...

In Praise of Mindlessness

I’ve sought and found mindlessness in a variety of ways
From dancing to climbing, meditating and painting,
but in retirement I find it easiest mowing the arboretum.

As I...

trial and error
we live in a world of imperfections
were we are always on trials
we believe to be smart 
we claim to be perfect 
through our creativity
we run a world of blindness
through our ignorance
we bleed more...

Whenever the truest edge doesn’t hold,
Another existence it does belie.
When causality is a broken line,
Unseen variable has cracked the mold.

Simple cause and effect gets in trouble
Abstruse patterns underlie life’s events.
Straight Euclidean angles and tangents
Reveal deep...

I've fallen in and out of arms,
I've deceived and lied to get
what I wanted...wasn't too foolish?
I hurt lovers and broken lots of hearts,
laughing at them, redeeming no fault;
I'm staring from zero point and crash!

Balancing a stone on its edge
is an art, a test for the spirit 
as much as it is to a steady hand. 
You must have a will to listen
to stones, to know their voice
and hear...

One of the beautiful things about Siberia it is a sea of grass
Like purple color of the soul Roth grass
And flowers like Siberian corydalis hides in the grass
The surreal beauty of flowers sends its divine...

The Programmed Mind

Riding our brain waves
What we do and say and think
Finds a lasting home
At whatever level
Those vibrations take us.

Do we remember our dreams
What we did, said and thought
As...

Relative Relevance

Earth dwelling in her Universal realm
Pulsating with energy in her helm.
Continual evolution in action
Elements and all life in reaction.

Relativity, energy causing an action,
Creating an equal, opposite reaction.
An ever recurring cause and affect
Incurring symmetry, ever...

Sincere.. 

Taped  - that tickle.
Back pass a trillion marks.
Cast out non- lying smiles.

Travel on tactics . Tracks
Tune the notes ...re consolidate 
Passion rises. Passion stays.

Boredom wary the powder of kill. "Two" detain it from...

Once my heart was glad
light from the stage lights made me cry, 
laugh, even furious.
I loved every second of time
when you see my body move, 
when my lips uttered words and sentences
poured into your mournful...
