near death experiences
compel us to relook
at our beliefs
take the case
of Eben Alexander
hard nosed neuro surgeon
with his cortex fully severed
he yet returned healed
speaking of angels
love alone is real
is the message echoed
hello! is humanity listening

intrigued by thesaurus
given by Joe Morris
look up the word porous
who? asks my friend Doris
amusing my friend Boris
a gift from friend Morris
I love a thesaurus
this takes care of Doris
I relook up porous
amusing my friend Boris

eat when hungry
and sleep when sleepy ~
an age old counsel of monks
seemingly easy but we cannot
being in bondage to ego agendas
and so it’s time we relook at our life
for methinks now the tail wags the dog

Pink dust of love in some tiny wrinkle
Small spots showing shadows of our season
Still the tomato children there twinkle
Heartbeats that we exchanged we still listen
This is why possibly in the open
Window, I’m glad to see your face again
The distance of thirty years is broken
Despite ruthless passage of the time-train
Somehow I feel apples are still eyesome
Blue clouds from the dimples wander in joy
In the breath plays warm and bouncy ransom
Our eye to eye birds we should not destroy
Now that flowers have again come a few
Let us relook if we have some cute dew

Inside your soul
You search.
Trying to find what has been
forgotten.
You watch one like
They watch two.
Time comes and goes
Love sticks and flows.
Tears of joy and pain grow.
Life goes crazy.
Emotions fly off the hook,
Reactions spur,
Things become wanted.
One tries
Two just aren't ready.
Sadness overwhelms,
Time becomes fallen apart
Drifting slowly
But nobody knows.
One is scared
Two are oblivious.
Walking the path,
Up down
Up down
Up down
One gives up
But two settle in another town.
While one pleads
Two disappear
Leaving one to relook
While there are two off somewhere
Having the time of their lives.
Following and searching
One may do
But in the end
There was never two.

Depression leads my life a stray
These thoughts in my mind
Grow cold and grey
As the color fades
My lips go pale
The taste of love
Has become stale
So vial and I’ll not speak
For my body now
Has hit its peak
As weak as I am
I try with all my might
Even though I could never
Put up a fight,
To question doubt
To relook fate
To know that love
Has become hate
