Short Anaesthesia Poems

Screaming til my face collapsed, broken arrow’s here called 
     Dear God she’s so beautiful, a cascading insouciance befalls 
             Forensics yeah they’ll differ, no doubt say, it was inhumane
     I don’t give a fig leaf, as the daisy cutter obliterates my pain

It was a freak accident of epithelium
under anaesthesia.
You place a window
on to a hollow brain. 

The money makes the monkey out of you.
A green light
blocks the fish, your memory,
to swim in black thoughts.

The yellow rose burns
in your hand. It was beginning of
a domestic race. The nightmares will
take care of the sleep.

Anaesthesia for the soul

A feeling that has a spiritual flow,

Somehow it feels arcane and old

But the reminds you of years gone by of gold,

We are light beams,

We are star seeds,

We are sunbeams,

Shining light and energy,

We share the love

And bring about beauty and harmony,

Through the act of coalescing unity,

This is anaesthesia for the soul....

"MYST"


Under Anaesthesia 
the dream bleeds fast, 
it lasts forever, it’s over too quick
Some kind of fantasy, you meet those you missed
Terra Firma no longer exists
Floating with other beings 
Legends are embraced 
lovingly long time kissed
In the Bardo, the "Between" place
I'll wait for you
with those missed

I will wait for you
in the 
Myst

oceanic are my dreams
sedated by soporose slumber 
I drift 
washed up on a different shore
no longer bathed & preserved within icy saline 
the opposite of the safety of the womb
yet preferable to awakening 
with eyes skinned so that harsh realities sink in

I choose to close my eyes
shiver in unknown surroundings 
await the sandman's anaesthesia
amnesia battles denial
truth battles confabulation
I don't want to stand & stare ...
