Which is that aspect of me
Looming in delusional ennui
Numbed to innate inner sentience
Of bliss outpouring in innocence

Love Sees the Dead Man

Love sees the dead man walk with;
no heart,
no power,
no glory,
no honor...

-And Loves does nothing to make him smile...

The Man Who Never Was

Last night I dreamt a dreary dream
beyond the clashing rocks 
hiding in a cleft 
I saw a dead man win a fight 
and I think that man was I

Premium Member Thought of the Day

We recall not the breaths gone by
Why then do desires make heart sigh
Making us a dead man walking
Can we not kiss ego goodbye

Dead Man

A man who looks like the dead
Blood dripping he's just been feed
Still hungry for more
He rushed to people's door
When entered they chopped off his head

Prairie Fire

“I don’t splain myself,”
Bill Hickok said
before his Colts went off
A dead man lying
at his feet
—his legend time embossed

Dead Man

giant black dogs
corner in the back yard
snarling
black sky simmers overhead 
a dirty cauldron
there are never enough warm clothes
in the closet
for a dead man

Dead Man Walking

I have been ordered to renovate the loo 
so my good wifey can go for a poo
the hole I cut was so large
as it had to fit her **** 
Oh im in trouble now, what a to-do

Assasin Reaper

Bespoke in suit so silken sharp
it cuts a path before him

With sunken eye's so black as opal

They steal one's soul on reflection

Whispering into a dead man ear

Premium Member Dead Man Walking

Fragrance of spring wafts through the air
Bliss pheromones display their flair
Nature’s in full bloom
Yet some hearts do not zoom
Until with love, they choose to pair

Freedom beyond

A dead man! ! ! 

Very hard to tame.

For he doesn't die once, 

But daily he dies. 

Bound he may look, 

Yet he is of all men free

Free from all Limitations

Free from Himself.

Dead Men Whistle For the Cool Breeze

The soul in my dead man whistles when you pass.

Is it asking for too much,to stick around and make it last?

...Was is it you or just a cool breeze? 

...Oh, the feeling of a cool breeze.

Dead Man's Shoes

They gave me some nice tennis shoes.
When I came to prison it's true.
    They said you must wear
    and you must not care.
That a dead man has done paid his dues.

when we have this, we then want that begging for more, passing the hat stagnating in this earth life dream bemused by illusions that stream dead man walking, blind as a bat 19-July-2021

As fears and desires oscillate,
although we stand at heaven’s gate,
we notice not bliss throbs within
our heart, for we go not therein,
being transfixed by narrow thought;
in a web of our making caught.

Skyscraper - In My Dream

Skyscraper:

In my dream,
The snow lay round about,
Showing clear signs of melting decay
As if light rain had fallen on it recently,
And my eyes could hardly fail to see 
The head of a dead man,
A brave Ukrainian, 
Murdered there.

I Dreamt a Dream

Last night I dreamt a dreary dream
I saw a dead man win fight
rising the man rose from his lonely grave
and spoke softly there lovely in such warm southern tones 
One day we will live in a nation where we will not be judged by the colour of our skin

Counting down from ten to one Hypnotic trance ends, stupor comes undone How then do we smoothly, from sleep awake Who is the hypnotist, doing the shake-shake-shake Find out now; dull awareness is no fun 22-July-2021

Premium Member Be To Become

Tamasic slumber
While we are awake
Self hypnotic trance
Narrow ego view
A dead man walking

Recognition
The first small step
Then becoming
Follows with grace

Attention
Oscillates
Dark to light

In God 
We do

Trust

Premium Member Dirt On Wood

Oh choir sing high
so all won't hear this dead man cry
Oh tears for me
won't wash me clean or set me free
Oh bed of death
no time to pray before last breath
Oh grave I pray
God take my soul my bones here stay
Oh pray you should
before you hear the dirt on wood
