Midday moon with face of
milky white, looks to be
mapping out this green, green
meander.  Friend of the
Magnolia near stream's
muck.  Cartographer and
minder of meanders....

Hit by the spray from the gritter on the highway,
Reminds me of insomnia, eyes rough with sand from
The beaches I can’t reach whilst mapping out my ceiling. 
Run me down a road where only salt can melt the snow....

Veins of mist
web and thicken 
to a clotted stutter
of images
slipping from words
into a fog
of quiet from where
a finger traces lines
in air as if mapping
what has been lost 
finally widening
to a circle
taking in
all of you....

The alternate reality

Of a penny arcade..

Will it arise that

All realities including

What has been known

As the true one..are all

Alternate spinnings of

Stories which in their

Words and mapping

Seem to claim their

Grasp of imagination......

Gong of Om, within us resounds
It’s the cosmic current
Bliss throbs within us gently pound
Rhythm thus concurrent

Nectar vectors mapping
Bliss spirals form wrapping 
Sound of one hand clapping

We are home
Gong of Om

where we kiss is both

nightmare, surreal reality

which i exist

alcohol and fantasies

kissing in public places

drawing lines across the city
mapping out our own

crave this world 
creation of ours, the mind’s eye
but the heart knows

breaks in telling me


that it is and never can be real...

An ant crawled here and there 
Showing determination and a lot of care
Looking around to find the way
Mapping a route not wanting to stray

It was determined in its mind
To get though and continued its grind
Sometimes it went over old ground then
Its thought to finish its task in the end.

In the darkness he tapped his cane
The sound, tap tap tap
Knowing well to return again
On the path he had tapped 
His spirit lit a lamp inside
In a private lonely place
For him to see or to hide
Behind his empty face
Slowly tap tap tapping
Where he again can find
The secrets he is mapping
And keep within his mind...

orphans of the storm
we race towards meaning
seeking
tripping on threads
of delusion
frantic wandering
towards nothingness
mapping our descent
veiled as ascention
we are dark angels
treading lightly
on the narrow road
to disparity
this futile journey
a wasted lifetime
and in the end  
we are back
at the beginning.

Napping nap nighty night
Tapping tap tighty tight
Sapping sap slightly sight
Happing hap heightly height

Japping jap jightly jight
Wrapping rap rightly right
Lapping lap lightly light
Dapping dap dightly dight

Flapping flap flightly flight
Grapping grap grightly gright
Mapping map mightly might
Slapping slap slightly slight...

MOSAIC

montage of squares shapes and broken
pieces
medley of colors reflect their individual
hues
mixture of distinctive well defined to
ambiguity


mapping fragments the artist crafts His
design
malevolence carefully chipped away
flawlessly
magnanimous with grace creates His
masterpiece

                                      Flooded with beauty
                                         full circular shape
                                      The sea catching light
                                     moon changed to silver
                                      Mapping the unknown
                                         across continents

Nibbling at a piece of moon
I lost the zero line
of my violence
mapping the lone
jungle.

The waning light
flaunting the peaks
for docking
the missile
in dark.

The body of water, 
prior to the tempest, 
will invite the brown
creator to pull
the ropes.

The past reappears,
shows presence. I
search word anchors
to reach
buoyancy.

A wee lad, tresses from a day's play tousled
  Squinted up at a cavernous sky to find
Where the moon and stars were twinkling tonight
  Mapping out bears and lions in his pint-size mind

Time's passed, he now employs a telescope
  His stellar scientific maps delivering hope
Of discoveries to change the way grown men think
  ~ Yet to a wee lad's curiosity will they be linked...

Not revisiting what is but building
upon on an as is where is basis,
moment to moment, thus gently flowing,
realising oneness of consciousness,
we remain poised in silence and stillness.
As we shift from grasping to connecting,
in a continuum meditating,
limited ego begins to recede,
our heart opens to receiving Gods blessings
as we be aligned in thought, word and deed.

With a resounding call 
Echoing on every side
He came calling
Shouldering burdens 
Snapping hurdles 
Designing dreams 
Mapping trails
Lane after lane
With a determined zeal
Running courses 
Reversing curses 
Stitching diverse lives
A stitch for every mile 
matching words to all in transits
Subtly pacing 
Lighting faces 
Stimulating dreams 
Stirring feathers 
Thus leaving a blazing trail...

Blind date with a blind map,
oh Lord, where are my fingers running?
Are they again seeking out your heart?
For your body remains invisible 
on uncharted lands
as your absence taking shape. 
Godspeed with the Hand of Fate,
while mapping on the surface of this paper
for guiding me safe waters,
watching out the tides
while leaving nowhere
I reach you ashore,
"Geborgenheit" is the word;
safe & sound....

A flash of lightning
A clap of thunder
As a hard rains falling down
Through the misery of life’s window
With no respite to be found

Tottering along the pathways
Of life’s treachery
Forlorn and broken
Mapping out my destiny

Memories of failures
And what was meant to be
My endeavors all wrought
My own misery

Life holds meager meaning
Since my fall from all grace
Tattered and beaten
My head hangs in disgrace...

Strong hands explore
The pure silk landscape
In gentle topography
Tracing her features
Beneath his fingers
Mapping her contours
Her sensual curvature
The undulating terrain
Soft mounds contrasted 
By prominent peaks
Then across the flatness
Of the tremulous plain
Thru sparse coarse undergrowth
To the hot moist valley beyond
Strong hands explore
And as fingers probe
The pure silk landscape
Reforms beneath his touch...

I anticipate 
the marching campaigns 
of your fingertips,
the mapping of vexed trails
to be conquered

those relentless, lawless, crusades 
over every sensitive summit. 

You've built empires 
over my every nerve
and toppled each 
with gratifying urgency.

Ah! My Lover,
my one man Dynasty
the way you command my passion
and possess the whole of my flesh
in the palm of your hand
is a vanquishing to be relished...

I'll never surrender....

The round table 
Like the birds gather
Eating the corn 
Evil genus gathered
At The round table

With an evil long years
Intension 
Mapping out strategies
To conquer mankind

They know what we need
Despite they don't understand
Humanity


Time never lie 
The more time lives 
Signs keeps appearing

This signs point to truth 
The true value of life 

This signs show the secret
Of the old 

Those secret behind the 
Closed doors at 

The round table...
