Life as I know it

I experience reality from my own Perspective.
If I had not existed to experience reality from my perspective I would not have experienced it at all.
Who can see if not me?
Who am I if not me?
can we be who we chose to be
Or are we known as who we thought we have been?
who am I if not me?
can I be who I want to be?
am I free or am I me?
Who am I if not I am me?
I am who I experience myself to be?
my experience is dependent on my own perception of reality from my own Perspective.

(Dreamsleep: October, 2026)

Hey Listen!

Hey listen! Tell me something!
I heard you love your name.
OK, it's your choice, but one thing!
Did you choose it in your game? 

Hey Listen! Tell me something!
I heard you proud of your gender.
OK, it's your choice, but one thing!
Is it really your choice or nature? 

Hey listen! Tell me something!
I heard you love your nation.
OK, it's your choice, but one thing!
Which form did you fill for admission?
 
Hey listen! Tell me something!
I heard you proud of your religion.
OK, it's your choice, but one thing!
Do you know it's real vision? 

Hey listen! Tell me something!
I heard you are lucky to be human.
OK, it's your choice, but one thing!
Does your heart have compassion?


Under the Sky

We dance singing songs of Love.
sinister dreams of wild death.
I saw him preaching the Gospel after the Rapture.
Harvey Levin preached the good news in my dreams.
very strange that I woke up made a video talking about it.
Harvey Levin a tribulation Saint wild dream.
Praise Jesus forever.
Thank you Jesus forever.

Premium Member The Quiet Sovereign

The Quiet Sovereign
by Christopher Haywood
2 October 2026

A thunderous speech can fill the space,
And shake the rafters, loud and proud,
Directing every turned-up face,
To sway the court and move the crowd.
It claims the air, it claims the hall,
With ringing words that heavily fall—
A passing wave that fills it all,
Then fades into a hollow sigh.

Yet when the bluster breaks away,
And heavy stillness settles in,
A deeper presence comes to stay,
Beneath the quiet, past the din.
For noise can rule the physical space,
And capture every wandering eye,
But silence meets you face to face,
Where no conviction fits a lie.

The loud voice commands the room;
The clear silence commands the mind.

Premium Member Express(ed) to the Devil

    A ship sails away 
       Will a storm it delay

    A plane's wheels leave the ground
       Will it land safe and sound

    Nations quarrel and fight 
       Neither is right

    Lies rapidly spread
       Will they kill the truth dead


Premium Member Eternity

Out of body, all Divine -- 
the mystic does not die to get there,
a life long relationship. Claimed. 
Who do we believe?~ (one who loves life 
deeply death will never deceive....) Poet.
------------------------------------------------------
Hmm...indeed sometimes lies -- and the heart can lie even when thinking truth...even the marriage vow, till death do us part (the priest his own Christian contradiction). No one really knows the deeper nature of the heart. Does it start with a beat of flesh? Or its own spiritual continuance possessing form whatever? Time will less tell than Heaven and Hell.

Premium Member Proving a Negative

The way to the heart of Truth
Is not through establishing what it is
But only by establishing what it is not;
Not this, not this, not this 
And so on to infinity.

Proving a negative is possible.
It is what’s left when all the positive
Assertions have been peeled away;
Not that, not that, not that
Until all that’s left is simply what is.

(9/30/26)

Premium Member Negative Echoes

Too much negativity can lead astray -- 
what you see is more of what you
will get; what you hear are the echoes
that your heart will send back – what you pray are
the angels you will attract...the God
type who will lead them.  Entertain in your mind 
deceit, greed, war and violence, greater fire and smoke
will suck the air from your experienced everyday environment.  
Speak vehemence, vengeance, and the Lord of retribution
will contrive your footsteps and flying – the deity
of heavens and hells will imprint new
such drama landscapes, battles of your dawns and nights. 
One manifests, forms and reforms fears and desires his
deluded heart and soul mistakenly empower.  Clean
one’s self, and both heaven and hell
will be at last an immaculate harmony of peace and shared
love.  Heaven on earth.  No Second Coming till then.

Premium Member Super Vanilla Extract

Wow!!!  What a difference a name change can make
Who needs to grow vanilla beans?
No gaseous undertone at all now 
Fake news to think otherwise

Gives profound, renewed meaning to this famous line:
"A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet"

Comfort, Who Art Thou?

Heart racing, mind searching for answers.
So stuck. On the brink of tears.
Yet He remains good.

The need to control, the need to know.
Holding my breath for certainty that won't come.
Yet He remains good.

He holds my future in His hands.
With hope and purpose in His plans.
And for that, He is good.

Premium Member Homesick Stardust

confess to me , O cupid prince , lost cause ~
bowing before eve's bare butterflies,
as tonight i confront your kiss,
heartbeat of harvested heat,
pulsing moon magnifique ~
where we wake within
the wrinkled wish of
burgundy
blushed bliss ~
drenched
with
drizzling
damask dreams
of sea-swept hours;
let the lace of want
weep wilderness in the
rise of lonely nadir where,
I beseech the sun to undress
the stars and twirl with satanic sighs…

if I am your refrain, let my name burn
dear, aphrodisiac tears of sunset ~
see how I break, 'neath neon nimbus,
hold me close in sultry sirens ,
 tempt me… tame these twilight tints 
tantalise me… once more

until the honest
halcyon of life
weeps wayward
with the
hush
of
unhealed
hoax , amidst
hurt homesickness…

tortured by the taste
of your touch, locked in love ~
I ache with parched lips of pink…
the soul of barbie stardust ~
as this petal,  a l o n e  , mourns those musks
drenched in 
     au revoir rain of last rose dusks…

People In And Out UN; And Also Demonstrations!

left the UN hall, all
seventy seven teams, coz,
Netanyahu's word

White Lies

Racists will live in fright
what a beautiful sight
They cannot even fight
cursed by Aries' moonlight
with tortured days and nights
I'll keep shining so bright
they'll still want a bite
but they're all too uptight
My curse officially takes flight!

Premium Member Center of all Truth

I can With honey words and flower kisses
And the dew of sweet half-truths
of old quaint love-tales foredone.

in the twilight I sit in whispers
as far-heard bells.

have I known that gay youth that is gone
As the shadow of wind.

Nay, I am ever swept upward
To the centre of all truth

So must I Rapt into this flame

"Follow! Follow!"

And in the power be reborn.
together this power must we,

Cry eternally:

"I come, And again,

"Follow,"

we may not tarry.

(Blackout of The Summons by Ezra Pound)
