The dancy prancy flowers 
Were gorgeous in the ground,
But since the freeze warning is in effect,
I dug them up, and now they’re safe and sound....

actions performed
in as it so appears
are merely waves
enacting divine will

notice how waves shift
changing their contours
in effect without identity
indivisible from the ocean

timeless desires
in a nowhere place

liberty with pleasure
enigma,imagery intertwined

dislocative in effect
experimental in form

near photographic in recall
surreal shaded pictures

portraits..in poems
linear asides of tomorrow...

Solitude Of A Mad Man

reach...
teach...
respect,
sorrow that we met
share in the event...
face to face
make no mistake
climate control in effect,

savor the code
people are strange
face to meet
a soar in my peach
gravitate to its approach

Aletzer Crowley...
scenic view
bargain basement pew...

I WAS RIGHT!

I was right, but I was left
to contemplate the joy
of being right.

I was correct, but in effect
it’s quite the same
as being right.

I was wrong but not for long
as someone said
I might be right.

I leaned right, she leaned left,
and thus
we fell apart.

I was right, and so was she,
how could we both
be wrong?...

The mirror will show the proof through the efforts
Your clothes might become loose

Exercise in follow through
This is what pumping iron is all about
You probably doubt
Pumping iron will work it out....

Release Me...
locked into a spin
no where to begin
lest to affect the robotic pass
give a good kick in the ass...

locked inside an oceanic groove
shades of grass out of peoples field
release me...
the coach in your backyard;

Supporter in coats invasion
a daily supporter
Facebook even check full force in effect
release me...

stand out man goes ahead of you
turnip on toast to build you
release me...
belief on Twitter...

recognising that organic form will perish
and the thought of eternal life we cherish
we set out to explore if this could be true
which scriptures affirm if grace we accrue
enabled provided we stop the flow of time
in tranquil silence attuned to love's chime
essentially requiring that thoughts be still
in effect choosing to surrender egoic will
and so when imaginary identity fell away
we saw the absolute truth as clear as day

in this circle it never ends
from womb to birth
child to wife

no signs to show us the way
we learn from withen
born a creation

masterplan is in effect
daring us to learn
in retrospect we adjust

high on demand
our lives are molded
direction is at discretion

adversaties are included
ramifications are forgotten
experiences come and go

love hurts us all
relationships do fail
lessons self taught

we sleep we wake
we dream we forget
we live we die...

A picture of a flower
Is not, in fact, a true flower,
No matter how colorful,
But it is, in effect, an attempt to portray 
Some aspect of that flower’s truth.

A memory of happiness
Is not, in fact, true happiness,
No matter how wonderful,
But it is, in effect, an attempt to recall
Some evidence of happiness once true.

A poem about love
Is not, in fact, true love,
No matter how beautiful,
But it is, in effect, an attempt to reveal
Some perspective on love’s truth....

Why do people think they always
Have something to prove?
Chest out, chin up, 
They flex to scare
To intimidate
To ward off.
Like monkeys, really,
They won’t learn
Just continue to live
And in effect 
Proving nothing.
We owe it to ourselves
To believe, first,
In ourselves.
Proving only
To us,
To God.
Live properly, as taught, hopefully,
By our fathers before us
So not to make
The same mistakes
Proving we can
Learn to live,
Learn to love,
Live to love,
Love to live....
