Is it an angel that I hear singing?
Or is it tinnitus in my ears ringing?
The voice is so high
Its making me cry
It’s my underwear, it's tight and wringing...

attuned to the inner sound current
not to be confused with tinnitus 
meditating therein, diving deep
flowing in tranquil restfulness 
soul takes a quantum leap...

tuning ears tinnitus 
trying lobes sharpened 
senses end in brown soil
membranous settlement ru-
ptures total silence turbulent wi-
nd wandering eyes ,closed wi-
ndows of soul

Inner sound current
Pervading our form
Reverberating
If we but listen
In thought free silence

The humming clear 
Not tinnitus
A standing wave
Ever present 

Our focus
In within
Effortless 

The void
Our home

Lurking in the shadows
In the gaps beyond the stars
Voices shouting louder
Silenced only by my heart

Screaming in the silence 
To engulf my senses full
I long for silent silence
To enact a final cull

Breaking down the volume
Taking down the noise
Breaking down the constant
To a point I hear my voice...

My nagging headache has resurfaced again,
a grumbling stomach as well,
the cold night has given me chattering teeth
and a murmuring heart gives me hell.
My breathing's developed a whistle-like wheeze
and tinnitus with matching tone,
I can't get to sleep with these noises I make-
why can't I just leave me alone?...

Laying quietly in the dark
Alone in bed on my right side
Listening to the tinnitus
In my ear, praying sleep will come;
Not that I have obligations
To meet in the early morning;
I am an old retired dude
With a lot of time on my hands
But damn it to hell, I need sleep.
I try composing poetry
But my wandering tired mind
Can not remain focused for long
So I turnover my left side
And begin all over again....

It takes strength, day and night
to tolerate pain, the Fibro fight
the muscle aches, damn brain fog
total exhaustion, stiff as a log
headaches, sciatica, insomnia and more
tinnitus, vertigo, and stress galore
nerve pain and spasms, when does it end
this Fibromyalgia needs to mend
I don’t look sick, but my struggle is real
I’m quite often hot, when cold you feel
The ride never ends, but I am strong
Chronic pains no joke, but I will go on....

Oh Tinnitus you are a pain
Your high-pitched white noise invades my brain

Because you are not very kind 
You cause my head to hurt sometimes

I never know when you will appear 
Or will turn up the volume in my ear

But I will not let you rule my life 
So we will continue with our strife

Until the day the doctors find
A way to ban you from my mind

Oh Tinnitus you are such a pain
Why can’t you just go away

leaving me with the sound of silence

DAMO...

Inner polarity of our hearing
Cognised within, as subtle sound current
Electro-magnetic hum resounding
In and around, always ever present

Doctors may dismiss this as tinnitus
Yet things are not always as they may seem
Current is steady and continuous 
Reverberation through space, thus does stream

Whilst in quietude of meditation 
The pure of heart hear, music of the spheres
With Gods grace, imbibed by resonation 
Such is the wisdom, we did get from seers
