I searched in vain for inspiration.
I even climbed the sacred Parnassus
Where all the muses reside.
I danced with them
Engaged in endless discourse.
All in vain.
Then I resigned to my fate.
Oh Pythagoras? How I refused
Ever to believe in your metempsychosis?
Alas that meritocracy should be reborn
Reborn to write again,
Reborn from darkness and void
Reborn to mock myself again.
With a splash of painted words,
Disjointed, without sense.
A sickly morbid earthling
Fed on the slums and dregs of earth,
Pampered on deadly drugs.,
Only to be haunted by a thousand empty dreams.
Now I solely scribble:
A mass of oddly disjointed lines,
Words upon words, a phantasmagoria of nonsense,
While ashes fall upon the yellow pages
Scented with nicotine of stale cigars.

Our symbiosis
Is an apotheosis
In what is best about us
Metamorphosis
Into metempsychosis
Will leave each of us nonplussed

My Phenomenon
Sudden exhilaration and frantic heartbeats,
sweaty palms, biting lip, knees feel weak...
This phenomenon occurs every time I see her...
Stuttered speech and restless feet,
eyes blink, watering, sudden heat...
This astonishment happens every time I see her...
Finger fidgets and awkward sitting seat,
self conscience, nervousness, thoughts incomplete,
This metempsychosis occurs every time I see her...
Emotions exploding and passion peaks,
heart aching, mind racing, but unable to speak...
This phenomenon happens every time I see her...
She smiles turns and waves to me,
embracing, true safety, I just adore her...

No matter how we try to create or imagine
Some sort of utopia within this pathetic world ?
Welcome to another day I heard the bleeping fool say
As they sailed away atop their tactical tortoise tombstone ships....
Ichneumonflies his mete's lap dog larvae enterprise; epileptic metempsychosis.

Mi alma gemela
last night you chased the demon
away who sought to steal me
into the void of loneliest of loneliness...
You gnarled and cursed the demon
who dared speak of darkness
you lover of eternal confirmation
keeping account of my joys, love and pains...
I have loved you in numberless forms
an infinite number of occurrences
I have held you life after life
from the diaspora in age after age...
When I first gazed you
I recognized you instantly
all of the loves and lives
draws me to you endlessly...
Melting into the dream of dreams
our souls have always been here
knowing for who we come for
knowing where we are going...
I and thou eternally
we honor the cosmic oath
my love, will you always remember me
from thousands of years ago?

I love those solitary expedition's
seafaring the oceans of mind space
transporting me , to you.......
Creating image's as a pencil sketcher
leaving light and shadow's , then ,
leaving it to the interpreter now
too fill those space's with the
imaginary color's that fill their mind
We all view the distant horizon differently
all in all 'tho , we share a similar affinity
even if it seem's to fall short of our human destiny
The transforming metamorphosis of metempsychosis
a concept known to the ancient's
but lost to us living in the " now "
yes , if i might ,
the " inner glow " will help us to re-discover how
Love and understanding
is a language that has no border's
that has no cultural indifference
that has no concept of geography
Mankind identifies to seperation
unifying cohesion is what's foreign..........
