I Die Often In My Dreams

Since the day I died for real, I die often in my dreams
And each time I find myself standing in a chaotic crowd
Like an army just disbanded
Screaming, pushing, left and right to go through an open gate
Guarded by some other beings.
 
Mud and slide
In this side
On the other side is green
Neat and clean and organized.
 
That's the heaven I assume
And all beings will go there
When Signaled to do so
By the guards.
 
Dogs and cats, and flies and germs
All are here, and all the same
The same height, the same weight
The same color, the same face
And none caring for each other.
We all try to reach the gate
In this barren,muddy land
Even though we all are headed
And we all will be admitted
Any moment, now, there.
 
And I see all kinds of being
Here from every galaxy
All and every type of life
Displayed, cheaply, before me
For they push and fell, and slide
Greedy even this last time
All are greedy except me.
 
Then they look at me an sniff me
At my cold and wet feet
And they look me in the eye
Asking what solar system I com from
And I see that I still am the same fool I used to be
For I do not answer straight, but drag on
I tell them “In my planet all my species have been kings
We ruled and abused them”, I meant all the other species
“We ate their flesh,
We drunk their milk
We used their feathers,
We used their skin.
In my planet if you dare to approach and tell my kin
That he is not right to say this or that for any thing
He would be your enemy, he will hate you all his life
But if you will learn to praise
To praise him foolishly
Just praise him!
In my planet people do cherish all the stupid lies
They feed on insincere lies
And whole heartily belive them”.
 
I expect them to despise me and all my planet's creature
But to my surprise they open in my honer in both sides
And I think perhaps they heard, from their stars, about Jesus
Heard of our earthly sinners, sinners who had been forgiven
In advance by Jesus Christ.
 
I move humbled and enlighten, over dirt, toward the gate
I see angels, they are opening the gate and I fill the light
Poured from rays of morning sun over my wakened face
And I jump from the  warmth
Of my bed not to be late 
To catch bits of running life.

Tempting Voices of the Dark

You must not resist your own destiny
leave behind the light if you want to see
where you come from, what you will be
Darkness of your heart protects from the light
the essence of you--
your identity.
 
Don’t you fear the night blinded by the light
Lie and close your eyes and open your heart
Your are dark inside, come inside the dark
Let the healing snakes come protect the gates
Of your tarnished soul of the earthly lives
Get ready to die and be born no more
For eternity!

To Love a Whore

She is a bitch, she is a whore
She is a devil and much more
But you must go and kneel to her
With all the shame you have to bear
If there's a girl, if there's a boy
Forget the things you'll not enjoy
Go take upon yourself the blame
All humiliation and all the shame;
To dry tears from the children's eyes
It takes a strong man to defy
The selfish ego's holding claws
Tormented by the painful throes
You'll ride the storm, you'll cross the sea
Escaping the calamity
Because the darkness will never die
Unless sun rays, too, fill the sky
Sometimes to surf a sea of shame
Means cleansing from the gilt and pain
To hold a bitch, to love a whore
Might mean to reach a sunlit shore
Where kids live happier even more
Then any, any day before
When Mom and Dad were not both there.

Kissed From Head To Toe

Miracle of grace
That I love and chase
For a hug, a touch
To reach and to clutch
In a deep embrace!
 
O’ you parched eye
Thirsty, never shy,
O’ sea of waves
That keep coming by!
 
I love you so much!
 
Of rays of the sun,
Of the drops of rain,
A rainbow made
For pleasure and pain
That glisters below
To the narrow lane,
I myself bestow
Down to your feet!
For my human soul
For my noble feat.
 
Yearning for your hand
Can you lift my chin?
Can you set ablaze?
Fires on my skin?
Flowers of my vase
Not to die within.
 
Lift me from this pond
Hold me close and tight
My magic wand
Of sinew and might
 
I am so weak.
 
Lift me up again!
Let me feel your face
To my burning cheek
Oh, my eyes are burned
Burned up to my heart.
 
Teach me to inhale!
I am short of breath
Come my captain, sail
Deeper in my depth.
 
Tear my clothes apart
 
Careful at my bosom
Mumble, do not bite
O’ bite it all over
Pinch me long and hard!
 
What kind of breezes tickle in your lips?
Teach me, can you please,
Teach me how to kiss?
But your tender lips seem to not have been
Never to this scene
Of the joyful bliss.
 
Tatter, if not tattered
Yet are all my clothes
Broken am I, shattered
Spread opened of course
Spread am I and scattered
Like a bubbled froth.
 
Baby, hold me close!
 
I’m a tender shoot,
O’ my furious storm
O’ my grandiose ocean
Hold me like a foam.
 
Pull, and push me farther,
Push and pull me more,
Pop me like a bubble
Pierce me to my core!
 
Kissed I’ve been and bitten
Bitten to and fro
From nipple to nipple
And from head to toe
Yet not chewed or eaten
By teeth or by jaw.

We Came Again To Cry Together From Many, Many Previous Lives

But you and only you alone, just you and not another soul, my darling, knows 
me
Behind the pyramid walls, you kissed me many times before, before you let me go
In chains I had to go inside my cell and to cry for all the times for you and for my 
fate
We lost each other through the storms to dust but I have followed you through 
deserts day and night;
You see me now, you know me now - I still remain your slave
You came here to forgive my sins - To heal me from my pain
But kisses never seem to heal - if kisses dry again
The dolor is the field we come from to dolor we return
Allow me to bow and kneel, lets dally and shed tears
Above your knees I'll melt until consumed by thunderstorms
And through the clouds a bogey and an angel I will stroll
I'll never stop or rest until I'll find you once more
To see you go and disappear and come and go again
But now at this present time
Lets hug and sob in rain
For nothing else is left behind
Nothing but love and pain.

I Cant Change the Universe

I can't change it, - I cant change it, - I can't change the universe
I cant bear this grandiose torture, I am just a dying man
Please deliver me from being - let me die and be nothing
Through this vastness- dust and clouds I wish I was a glint
Please my Love, My God be mercy, free me please from all this weight
Cast me to the hottest fire, Inside grates I can't escape
I am just a man that's dying, I can't change the universe
Please God I am scared of ruining with skills I don’t possess
All that is, My god be mercy, I can't change the universe!

Why Does Thy Beauty Scare Me So

Why does thy beauty scare me so 
That sliding yonder makes me feel as though
Above a hill I see last summer's sun
Fall to the sea and sink then deep below?

Dying But Not Dead

From death you came to be alive and here you turn to death
No sight to please your earthly eyes or give your mundane breath
Don’t keep your heart so closed, so tight -- get ready to accept
The healing snakes that are hereby, to touch, to crawl, to peck
To peck your knees, to peck your thighs, your chest, your lips, your neck
You have to change, you ought to change
Accept it and relax
Relax and die and close your eyes
To run from all this dread

Dying At the Shaman's Hands

"This is a game
Life is a game
A game is all that is
You came here to play
You came here to stay
To play and to stay inside this abyss
But here you will see
But here you will learn
That man is forever to hurt and to yearn
And pain lives for all the eternity"
 
You  never have lived
You never will die--
A body of earth--
A soul of the sky
You came here to play
You came here to stay
Tormented by death
Yet ready to die
 
This is a game
Life is a game
A game is all that is
From layers and layers of dreams and of pain
Go deeper and deeper inside this abyss.

Meeting the Darkness of the Past

Accept it, accept it, accept it!
Open your heart, open your heart
Open your heart of flesh and of blood
And let in the darkness that comes from your past
There is no light; we turned off the light
Open the heart to darkness tonight
This is a game
This is the life
Open your heart, and just accept it!
