It’s caught up, always, in those little things:
street corners, half-familiar: shop facades:
it’s not so much expansive boulevards
as rain-worn roofs which pluck the silvery strings
of sorrow. Part of my subconscious clings
to remnants – ruined fragments, broken sherds.
They say the brain’s an organ which discards,
not hoards. Why, then, these cruel rememberings?
A tranquil helmsman, plotting perfect vectors,
is how I see myself. Wretched delusion!
We’re buffeted by failure and exclusion,
divided into Hectors or defectors.
The only shred of dignity it brings
is when we learn to love our sunderings.

A setted carving,
Written by privation
Words that leak through unfilled ink
Gawping empty between ridges.
Then those canyon cliffs retreat again
Back down to their weary plains
Brothers undo brothers, as
All plains worn away.
And those letters of privation
Are gone, as empty were their valley hollows
Their hollow fame ungained.
Vectors collide head into head, their
Perpendicular paths to ruin
Skidding, crashing, melting, bubbling,
Paths fuse and fissure, which spitter into nothing.
In death’s head shell, a poltergeist cackle
A ghoul of concave echo walls
It throws flaming cocktails to profuse undo
And set alight the beams of memory.
And knowledge stolid, solid meals,
Waste to famine, thoughts
To hollow dreams, not recollections,
What deceit
Are believed imaginations.
Set alight those beams
And worn down hollows of privation
I am left with hollow dreams,
Not recollections. What deceit
Are believed imaginations.

humble feet and serving hands
entwine as energy bands
bliss pierces body vectors
all nodes willing receptors
there is no doing we do
as rapture does so renew
tip of nose joins the dance
towards whom we shyly glance
such then is our ordained fate
feeling how chakras gyrate
each breath ushering bliss rise
beheld in childlike surprise

When I was a kid, Watson and Crick’s discovery of DNA
Was still a bit like science fiction and not completely understood
Dreams of curing cancer, never growing old, viral vaccinations
Mapping out the human genome would make them proud of us
Splicing genes with CRISPR Cas9 Vectors
Is still only just the beginning,
We’ve barely touched the tip of the iceberg
Still, one day, like in the Star Trek universe
With a simple shot from hypo spray
No more COVID and Dr. Flox would send us on our way
But life is not TV land
I suppose God must have other plans
Perhaps He’s not so pleased that
Science is the new religion of this Day N Age
He’s really going to be surprised when we scrape the shroud of Turin
For some Jesus DNA
And clone the Son of God so we can look him in the eyes
And pray tell we may say,
“What the hell have we done, oh Spliceosome?”

In the dusting of springtime squeeze
Sweet-scented of yesterday glees.
Recall of rose bloom and clear days,
Of mirth and warmth in many ways.
Meek breeze bears the whiff of ripe life,
Fresh beginnings and cease of strife.
The world rouse from its frost slumber,
Nature's grace is once more wonder.
The birds sing their sweet melodies,
As they build their nests in the trees.
Bees buzz around, grasping nectar,
Butterflies dance in quaint vectors.
Let's bask in the charm of the sun,
And hype blooms that ne'er strove nor spun.

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

I’m still standing, and all credit goes to God.
Many from all walks of life and places treated me odd.
God, I’m better than I’ve ever been.
I’m not in the hood anymore.
I’m not knocking on Hell’s doors.
Lord, I thank You for keeping me alive.
Many vectors pointed toward me from,
Huge directions and magnitudes.
It was only you that cancelled them out.
I give You true praise and credit without a doubt.
God, You, sent me to a place where I received more love,
Than, I ever obtained from people in my life.
I know that it came from You.
I know that I live the life that’s true.
I’m still standing because my purpose is enormous,
And for long it won’t be dormant.
I’m still standing although many don’t want me to.
I thank God that after all this time,
I’m still standing in my life that’s true.

I have a secret it's buried deep
Almost afraid to fall asleep
My shape will shift when unaware
It really is a frightful scare.
This morning found black feather on bed
Midnight is trigger I truly dread
No idea where I flew last night
Except was home with morning light.
Exhausted, confused what a curse
The raven is waiting to reassert
A Shapeshifter, no doubt, is what I am
Alone, on my own, having no clan.

Overnight shall sleep The Delayed Inspector
In a swarming-with-mosquitoes Sector:
The exact wish of his host and Rector
Wishing him the company of Malaria’s Vectors
And the keenest battles with Their Directors,
Since he mustn’t The School Inspector hector
But can’t him leave The Victor
Of a supervisory Role, Very Rude
And intent display of The Shrewd.
A Thirty-fiver impressing he could deprive
A Fifty-fiver of his sole drive,
Teacher watchers shocking as he strives
To mar that on which he thrives;
Wherefore it has to now be
And ever by payback be
A Purposely Torn Mosquito Net
That Malaria makes A sure bet
And Eyelids with begging tears wet.

Beware of the Brain-eaters, the Logic-disbelievers, the Beat-clippers.
They come on Halloween to thumb their noses at the sky dippers.
Big Dipper sends eighteen master witches to give them a star.
Little Dipper distances himself, hiding his end rays in Zeniths black jar.
Brain-eaters will go after your dendrite fields and steal the connectors.
Logic-disbelievers will annihilate red cells and change them to vectors.
Beat-clippers will hunt you, jump on your head and take you down.
You will laugh yourself into oblivion and maybe even soil your gown.
So, beware children, beware I tell you now.
The weird ones are out there, and I tell you good and how.
They will catch you and stomp you and take bites out of your skin.
So, run while you can; to stand still would be a real sin.

Highways stretch into the aftermath.
Lunar ascends...
Grins sinisterly
A cry rises with the currents
Carried on shadowed wings
into vacant, violent, violet skies.
Night runs from golden rays
Like streaks from shooting stars
Falling. Air raid!
Thermals detonate resonates obliterates
Splash stone, sands, lands crimson,
a thousand years.
Flesh transparent as a specters.
Of ancient rites, incendiary nights
As winds cut like a raven cry. Lock vectors.
Razored spines.
Holocaustic...rights.
Host.
A falcon soars. Blind!
Soars on thermals
Forgotten spirits scatter, shatter
flutter into the icy hurricanes void.
Back into the Blackend Earth
ashen embers, with scarlet hearts
Spin, spiral on windswept promenades...
A Highway stretching into twilight.
And to the future, I dream, damnation!
I pray may never ever come, thoughts cascades…
I dance with the ghost of ancient man.
I dwell in the forgotten, forbidden, forsaken lands
As the tyrannical dawn comes...

We know that water finds its own level
Likewise for soma-nectar miracle
Elixir brightening in-form vectors
Teleporting us through unknown sectors
Within our this here, mind-body vessel
Our heart shapes, vibrations energy takes
Serpent asleep, to scent of love awakes
Rising at its will, through the central vein
If our souls intent be pure and unstained
Silent thunder within, tranquil calm lake
The nectar takes shape, as our soul prefers
At root in stupor, in heart bliss vapour
Simply present, to each pulse sentient
Reclaim God essence, self-luminescent
The path easier, in playful caper
Oh hermit! Know no doing need be done
Save past conditioning, to be undone
Feral thoughts slow, acquiring inner glow
Throb of love leads, whilst in trust we follow
Swathed in light of the spiritual sun

Seamless is the gentle assimilation of the divine sublime elixir
Osmotically percolating in-form lifetrons via hidden vectors
In-pouring and outpouring bliss from a centreless fulcrum
Each pore a door, all nodes within, our revered sanctum
Omnipresent enigmatic space conspires with our hearts intent
Boundaries blur, our essence shines as presence self-luminescent
Imperceptible shift from aligning and melding to being and becoming
Heightened rapture within renewing in an intimate caress teasing
Moment to moment thus suffused with ineffable bliss replete
We are vaporised self, in the continuum, feeling complete

How long does the tingle within heart last
Suffusing us in rapture of delight
Do we embrace surprise or pause in past
As bliss currents cascade through day and night
Spherical cognition, like our heartbeat
Celebrates the life current renewal
Each pulse we thus greet, sitting at Gods feet
Heightened joy, centred in throb toroidal
Thoughts rested, no room for speculation
Pristine presence savours soma nectar
Purring thunder, Gods reverberation
Spears within, through dormant in-form vectors
As we vaporise, ceasing to resist
We be to become, a divine bliss mist

Soma nectar dripping, one hand clapping
Questions cease when we become the answer
Suffused by waves bliss throb scintillating
Resounding within, the silent thunder
No koan this hermit, stoop to conquer
Silence ushers currents vivifying
Divine bestowing benign bliss shower
Soma nectar dripping, one hand clapping
Our discerning mind, eager for learning
Better off are we in fervent prayer
Purity of heart, blessings imbibing
Questions cease when we become the answer
Veils of delusion slowly disappear
In tranquil stillness whilst meditating
Magnetic rapture, each pore of form spears
Suffused by waves bliss throb scintillating
Elixir divine electrifying
Renews ignition in our heart chamber
We sense sound of Ohm reverberating
Resounding within, the silent thunder
As vibrant bliss seeps through in-form vectors
With essence of presence celebrating
Dancing joyfully in playful caper
Divine benedictions keep inpouring
Soma nectar
