Listen to poem:

sail away with me
and leave the world behind
sweep me off my feet
and let us drift
forever into fantasy

On an odyssey trek,
overjoyed to find Zen,
oasis, green and lush,
overture of bird songs,
opalescent calm hues,
ornamental flowers,
otherworldly magic....

Faith …
the capacity 
to believe

Belief …
the odyssey
of proof

Proof …
the embodiment
of reason

Reason …
the arbiter 
of truth

shakespeare has spoken
     homer here’s paying his dues 
     damn he pulled some strokes
         in an odyssey of moves
           evil genius no taboos

Civilians who chant “liquor store blues”
within a Memphis alley way
Where the classical band plays
From dusk till dawn
Would lack intelligence
Should they be taught
That she resembles a foul sprite
For some wild centaur....

Whilst
        walking
     the way

pebbles in the
shoes
an eyelash 
     in the eye

minor irritations 
parables & trials
  to make us sigh 

opportunity
to
confess & 
meet our maker
before 
     .... we die...

Last plank
in it's place
with it's own nail

like it is inborn error
making theater out of everything

fatal error
congenital error

you can't expect that putting the diapers to Cheetah
won't result in monkey rebellion...

Can you see
Odd epiphany;
What's to be
Self-conscious story.


Just like me
Strange melancholy;
Chemistry
Beyond sanity.


Odd words free
Mad controversy;
History
In lost odyssey.

Down by those tracks, 
You silly astronaut. 

Its an Odyssey, 
I'll admit
That I ever survived. 

Fluids, moans
and Cries thereafter
Were undoubtedly
Where this 
Masochist was
Born. 

I promised to 
Prevail, but 
Salt in the wound
Sent me down an 
Unending Spiral...

I rule the World just for a minute,
And all I see is MINE!
A sigh of Time that feels infinite-
Some stroll beyond the "borderline"
This Galaxy, it belongs to ME!
Like Alice through the "Looking Glass"
How sweet this mental Odyssey!
Too bad it never, ever lasts......

What's gods currency?
What would you do, if there was nothing to do, but find it?
Seems we'd be on an odyssey for a redeemed community
To spruce up the defoliated faces
Cut the noose of ornamental laces
The quest of placing tinder, in lights focal graces 
Go...

Go
Son
Take flight
Icarus~
Be daring be brave
But most of all be vigilant
Unfurl your wings fan out and soar to independence
Navigate your odyssey with perseverance~ go forth and don't look back, Icarus

You close your eyes,
and beam through the universe, 
Racing the inflation of existence itself,
bleeding into a multiverse and experiencing omnipotence.
Humbled as you open your eyes to return from the odyssey,
and submit to the human condition, mortality, and love....

Splashing, thrashing, wildly bashing
     rages the rolling sea 
like half-tortured Poseidon drowned 
     in waves of misery!

In tempestuous, dark dead of night, 
     a vessel from afar
plows through by dim, faint, speckled glow 
     of north's Polaris star......

Blessings have been bestowed
To the following my persona is owed:

My job is my Art 
With which I express my heart

My wife compliments me 
As we go through our odyssey

The Grand Architect helps me hone
Making me a living stone

These inspire me to be
All I will be

Amazing!
With rain
It comes down
Softly touches greeny leaves
Asks them, want some help?
Goes through roots, veins and up

Sun rises beyond the hill, looks down
sees this shiny, little gentleman,
smiling at him; hurry
Take him up
Droplets’ journey
Ends!

I will accept 
the curse 
of acquisition.


You wear an epic 
on the fingers.
I read a virgin.

My shadow joins 
the moon at night.
How tall were you ?

Hold my arm 
once. In terror 
I had kisses an old flame.

Death will be 
my only landmark.
My journey ends in your arms.

Time will change the seasons,
the endless earth and sea.
Time will conceptualize life,
on it's odyssey.

Deep in the Universal truths,
where we abound,
deep where we seek ourselves,
most intimately found,

accepting the cycle of life,
the day to the dust,
and all things of soul,
forever continuous....

This poet simply can’t 
Reach people 
He ascends but 
Doesn’t steeple

He thinks of his work as 
An odyssey 
A pearl
Without the modesty

If only he had a 
Coherent theme
A well turned phrase 
Or a poignant scene

But he just doesn’t have 
What he ought’a
And drivels away 
Like water.

Odyssey emerging
Like an awakening dream,
Capitulation to its beauty…
To what realistically seems,
A grasping route of anticipation,
Fervor, and all that’s supreme,
A grasping route of blindness,
Where desires stream...

Surmising, guising, a life
Visualized… 
Life is a chain of yearnings,
Where we all fantasize…...
