oh my
desperation
feeling
praying
kneeling
God so
help me
breathe to dare
having faith
keep what
may come
beyond contemplation
if only
could life
should be
some simple thing
but scarcely then
where would
inspiration live
my exasperation
I stay desperate
mindfully primate
God so
help me
I want to care
prayers of faith
needs enough
dreaming to dare
as to destination
seeing
praying
reeling
God so
help me
so being
cradling divine soul
creatively instilled
distilled as primal man
extensions of
lasting rifts
cast as shifting
space and time
between those
spiritually gifted
guru hands

here we go
two of me
locked in
one body
blocked by occupation
often not knowing
whether we
should eat
or should we sleep
what about blood
constricted on the inside
restricting us
paint sweet life
mixing our blood
as factual depiction
truth tainted
both in and outside
forever one eternity
all our paintings
praised yet crazed
eternally trapped
finding treasure
in places
mindfully though
oddly mapped and managed
tangents of fraternity
like a thunder storm
segments of modernity
like a tidal surge
there are oddly
even cyclones
birthing tornadoes
painted rightly
with timely insight
being one
seeing another seven
daily and nightly
seven out of seven
cheese on toast
cheesy tostadas
mostly free selection
one of one
avenues to another coast
heavenly marks
even rebellious hell
hands from another host
so we're tied up
together yet alone
two of me
caught up
being one
morning and evening
revealing life's vortex
breath as one body
daydreams and nightmares
mindfully streaming
mind and body aches
all those related moans
this is what true life takes
those manifest things
collating high stakes
together we make
breakfasts of sighs
one of me
stands to sing
one of me
demands recitation
exciting inviting poems
something that isn't fake
there are those things
that make us
want to turn away
when we should
be looking inward
there are times
when alarm
even church bells
echo and ring
making us sway
to and fro
seeking new rhythm
out of bleak rhyme
love may feel slow
what we need
may always be true
what we want
maybe forever no
still we
as one
drink life
bound together
all this
personal evolution
each of us
revolving
solar system
evolution
revolving revolution
solvent
galactic evolution
universal
constitution
one of me
fire
incinerating life
as I go
one of me
water
tragic floods
at times
divine
at others
magic even baptism
each one of us
creating something
wholistic solutions
one of me
holy contribution
one of me
in and outward
soul revolution
