when I
open this
my big
salacious mouth
I am
spiritually afraid
some terrible
demon words
will appear
desperately out 
of nowhere
rival curses
like venom
archival poison
from within
my viper's
secret lair
cursed execution
so I
tell myself
my insistent
big mouth
torrid elocution
no restitution
this one
as sordid
never rules
every other
so keep
my fool
invasive mouth
sewn shut
I find 
I can't
help me
help repel
always self
maliciously slithering
some demon
escaping deliciously
between my
two lips
obscenely shouting
right out
of my
unholy mouth
some truth
should always
forever speak
blessed things
love should
somehow always
be that
relative something
reflectively perfect
what we
truly seek
beyond virtual
perfect mystique
what we
truly speak
reaching ritual
spiritual something
we should
actually always
exactly preach

        * * * 

 

my hot head
full of smoke
much other blur
something crazy rings
between two ears
such amazing scenes
eras of years
rime built up
piled up snow
beyond shattered ice
frozen over centuries
melted in seconds
by erupting flames
ejected from open
demented horrid vents
red hot lava
my molten memories
so long forgotten
but newly found
so much poison
this earthly excrement
before never came
life is renewed
rimmed with clever
inflective black holes
reject grim politics
that similar nature
simmering fiery goals
reflecting dim conflicts
my hot head 
contesting token roles
my hot head
ingesting broken soul

            * * * 

 

how often
this inner
creative vision
insists dreams
rebuild conviction
connectivity cementing
broken shards
shattered glass
reflection commenting
ceramic words
human mosaics
flint limbs
quartz eyes
refined copper
into molten
defining words
directing lava
into vast
deep crevasses
a forceful
lasting age
everyone tinted
corroded green
resentment pages
explosive mouths
every one
imploding north
exploding south
recourse dreams
those temptations
minted original
co-existent love
out pouring
resistant co-dependence
realistic turnabout
augmenting archaic
molten steel
magic occurring
profound zeal
every compromise
coping inspiration
scoping both
true south
unruly north
speaking sage
fueling means
refusing hate
tempered resistance
resisting fate
what good
is love
when rage
consumes us
what good
is love
when storms
surround us
when assumption
confounds us
how often
could vision
restore sight
how often
can love
repair things
what was
always wrong
can love
create things
make them
instrumentally strong
smelting love
that inner
inventive vision
pressing love
into heartfelt
soulful intrusion
convincing love
infusing dreams
both me
as well
as you
confessing guilt
what we
truly felt
what we
exactly knew
can come
divinely true

      * * * 

 

I try
not too
easily hate
difficult goodbyes
my mother
says that
I say
that too
no matter 
how hard
we try
it seems
difficult goodbyes
leaving everything
things unsaid
nothing simple
those things
difficult words
we dread
my tongue
dried meat
my mouth
parched desert
my mind
jumbled emotion
my eyes
running tears
my heart
bleeding dear
my ears
hearing words
I hate
to hear
goodbye son
more tears
goodbye mum
words hurt
goodbye love
touching fear
all those
hidden tigers
tearing us
to pieces
all those
sharpened swords
carving us
to bits
if only
we didn't
have to
ever say
those goodbyes
wouldn't it
always be
a perfect
joyous day
blue sky
that wouldn't
could not 
never ever
sadly die
making us
fall down
my love
to cry
and cry

   * * * 

 

someone asked
are you
really happy
my blistered
abstract feelings
what is
true happiness
I'm wandering
seeking truth
I'm wondering
abruptly floundering
even drowning
what becomes
of us
lost souls
wrapped here
in life's
troubled gap
what happiness
can there
ever be
what about
token lying
should we
continue crying
all this
broken trying
not so
very subtle
finally dying
I have
somehow done
maybe somewhere
love will
maybe sometime
true love
will somehow
find me
wretched time
will reveal
some honest
better truth
make me
clearly see
happiness is
something real
maybe time
will stop
getting real
let me
find something
my wretched
broken self
buried deep
beneath love
embrace me
before hell
suddenly turns
burning day
to that 
yearning night
where sadness
truly lives
absolving gladness
wretched me
abject hell
where happiness
can never
ever be
something good
because tragically
something true
this deep
drowning sadness
has somehow
taken us
to that
tragic place
where honestly
I've fallen
out of grace
such hopelessness
depressing space
watching you
little sister
suddenly snatched
completely away
gripping death
so happiness
just wouldn't
could never
ever stay

      * * * 

 

I surfaced
after diving
religiously deep
my prayers
unanswered tomes
some thing
we need
those indigenous
relative poems
choose salmon
schooling towards
troubled streams
currents bruised
ocean Orcas
their untold
magnificent brilliance
two tones
pure white
exotic dreams
midnight black
motion resilience
outstanding tack
emotional zones
commanding truly
cetaceous singing
reminding us
life is
bindingly important
natural things
spawning salmon
nature is
mindful religion
preaching Orcas
sacred nature
practical pillars
oceans feeding
critical forest
breaching unnatural
boastful human
egotistical dreams
nature pleading
ocean choruses
beseeching God
entreating conditional
religious prayers
supernaturally praising
sensational magic
creative layers
environmentally tragic
we are
radioactive players
reactive surfacing
actively drowning
beneath us
torn fabric
above us
mental sounding
elemental salmon
suffering Orcas
human fracas
crude grounding
detrimental daze
lewd mammon
religious craze
true famine
modern world
extinction phase

        * * * 

 

some people
push buttons
until there's
fiery explosion
dire eruption
of emotion
something horrid
slick puke
beyond nuclear
telling comprehension
we stumble
something putrid
fumble falling
into heaps
something stupid
self destruction
where sorrow
hatred lives
some fate
of humankind
ringing bells
tricked mind
storied destiny
red flags
where everything
eventually crumbles
who can
ever tell
but nothing
consecrated humble
after that
living storms
who knows
we tumble
seeking truth
beseeching love
yet then
we wake
discover below
even above
our lifelong
torrential trouble
no love
broken bubbles
so uncouth
white flags
old age
unblinking rage
perhaps surviving
being caged
after youth

that demon
inside you
chase it out
all that fear
toss it out
those demons
hiding deep
inside you
excommunicate them
evil hiding
inside you
chase it out
crucify wickedness
nail that
to your cross
designate vindictiveness
as something
you refuse
to see
immolate everything
you never
want to be
so dream
about hope
things might
absolutely seem
completely hopeless
resolutely molten
when everything
seems dire
living demons
humanity desires
all existence
trembles uncontrollably
all semblance
of real hope
resembling sanity
such pure water
human evolution
assembling dreams
inner revolution
far beyond
our human vanity
those demons
your thought
controlling you
what meaning
are those
hopeful dreams
extolling love
when desire
devils rule
your human
deepest fire
those dreams
we have
everything love
truly desires

such great
imperfect change
over centuries
miracle time
all this
resilient adventure
all this
intrepid humanity
nothing necessarily
seemingly conventional
everything eerily
perhaps intentional
personal dietetics
such greatness
exploring recipes
cultural goals
constructing those
cultural gods
irreversible alphabets
something like
instructing A
capitol rhymes
so everything
becoming Zee
such capital
maybe then
in insistent
voracious time
we'll somehow
truly find
perfect change
mending hurt
while tears
describing pain
even poetically
vibrate down
our genetically
human cheeks
all those
perfect fears
those impending
not so
very subtle
irreversible changes
perhaps then
over centuries
we'll discover
controversial time
indicates nomenclature
dictating recovery
such resilience
within such
orbital nature
within that
amazing stature
with that
graphic miracle 
covalent change
where alphabets
A tonal
to that
artistic Zee
becoming one
resolving bets
somehow then
irreversibly insane
such great
even inane 
furtive change
over centuries
recovers that
didactic human
absolutely soulful
holy range

       * * * 

 

I tried
to fit
my geometric
eccentric self
into something
onto some
less eclectic
yet random 
recourse shelf
my tangled
unusual angles
my testy
messed up
controversial bits
inside this
social box
confessing this
I sometimes
feel strangled
it's all
mingling bursts
rebel fits
maybe if
I somehow
familially orbit
resolve now
to angle
something more
or less
so I
might find
some how
I do
somehow fit
but only
if geometry
is somehow
finally rearranged
at least
a bit
I was
on that
very verge
coming apart
emergently curving
my self
into some
random refuge
then subversive
amorphous me
turning up 
as smoke
sulphur flares
because words
I spoke
utterly dimensional
revealing this
my sensational
utterly unconventional
madhouse dare

        * * * 

 

then one day
you wake up
realize you have
lost everything
breathe in
feeling lost 
breathe out
you've lost
life's human game
you wake up
rub your eyes
at this point
realizing this
that you have
somehow lost
your sacred way

      * * *

our basic thirst
seems manic petroleum
remains ridiculously clever
firstly just panic
how much
should plastic
even try
dreaming colder
reality ever hotter
could we ever
dream resolve
a perfect touch
clear clean water
clean clear air
should we
ever truly
resolve to care
distilling things
what daring
truly matters
climate change
corruption splitting hairs
economic distillation
corrupt institution brings
spitting mad hatters
dystopian things

I remember
your touch
holding you
oh that
delicious rush
I remember
just how
I felt
how we
could suddenly
melt together
I would
truly feel
yearning passion
your love 
your burning
downunder fashion
I thought
we should
would last
die together
not fall
so far
tragically apart
badly hurting
I'm still
sadly crashing
I thought
our love
was real
we weren't
just flirting
all that
magic time
dreams about
enigmatic rhymes
how things
could have
should have
lovingly been
but this
inverted ocean
overtly vast
keeping us
covertly far
impossibly apart
I thought
we'd launch
compassionately together
stand by
on Mars
staring out
staunch there
love reflecting
far off
distant earth
resist shouting
calling out
love's game
insistent doubt
blaming me
you can
name me
for failing
true love
for sailing
across oceans
far away
wondering how
I'd ever
really find
my way
somehow back
to you
pondering now
rendered notions
stretched across
tragically sketched
wretched time
lasting oceans
painfully etched
as endings
often go
rendered sketchy
that need
we have
to remember
so truly
do we
surely know
if we
newly remember
love's touch
how much
we resembled
perfect love
just how
we trembled
so much
remember everything
hurtful love
our dismembered
disabled love
dying embers
cold ash
sadly remember
our love burning
our mad fire
our living love
our mad desire

        * * * 

 

I keep
telling myself
don't panic
I'm not
on fire
though life
I know
real flames
some things
needily incinerated
void things
not very
far away
I keep
poking myself
demanding things
provoking those
other games
giving in
that shack
I am
living in
deriving moments
also ran
I keep
reminding myself
equating manic
with every
dire fire
leaving nothing
except ash
giving nothing
except crashing
beyond loathing
brash dreams
igniting flames
beneath boasting
trash games
panic mostly
with each
flaming train

when heaven arrives

God's brazen light
something extra blessed

just yesterday
I suppose
that iconic moment
when bliss came
such pacific glory
when heaven arrived
applauding drums

lauding tribal stories
living nomadic life

hunting food
building hearth
gathering fuel
stardust falls
guilding home
nurturing fire

what we continue

continuing enthronement

I found myself
still unconscious
when I woke
still unaware
I couldn't
help myself
but wonder
just where
I was
if this wasn't
chastened hell
I simply thought
for a moment
this was factually
some actual void
I actually tried
to simply stand
but all those
simple words
just trying
to amply lift me
somehow up
those simple words
falling beside myself
failing my soul
that holy ghost
just laying outside
of simple me
holy water dripped
from my soul
into every wound
passionately baptising
every suffering scar
compassionately chastising
gruff angry me
I'm anchored there
no heavy chains
around my enlightened
contrite self
no steely locks
no jail cell
simply my own
relative pain
no incarceration hell
yet laying there
relational despair
still playing fateful
flailing faithful me
I tried to think
this wasn't manic
I tried
staying calm
not hearing
no graven music
I was trying
not to panic
reverend Raven
descended crying
talking to myself
reverential haven
converting my soul
listening on
still bristling
yet unattached
I promised myself
I'd finally let
all living sins
to somehow be
washed away
no more remorse
no panicked fray
something prickly
evidently begins
as holy water
washes away 
all my sins
lifts me up
conjoins my soul
rejoins to this
simply blessed way

small birds
flitting around
branch to branch
that big old birch
branch to ground
how would it be
what would we
forever see
no birds
barren branches
no trees
small words
no leaves
truly befitting
less trunk
fewer roots
no bird nests
less treasure
more autumn
fewer colours
what about those
flitting birds
what about that
towering tree
if I could
change this world
pull up roots
I'd grow feathers
flit from branch
to leafy branch
I'd save this world
make it something
a better place
a singing garden
with birds and trees
bringing joyful solace
to this earthly space

          * * * 

 

my broken life
or so it seems
with all this pain
all this strife
that razor's edge
my bloody knife
cutting out my heart
carving at my life
what if
I just gave up
relinquish my soul
fully extinguish
my earthly role
finally bury those
most difficult parts
deep beneath
this broken ground
find some solace 
deep within
my aching heart
so what have I
ever truly found
each time
I find myself
half awake
confessing crimes
those terrible things
consciousness did
not ever make
so all in all
my broken life
lies quietly
beside me
defiantly alongside 
my open grave
making me think
I should rise
open my eyes
take a second look
maybe what I see
will make me
cautiously blink
maybe what
I know now
will take me 
somewhere down
another rocky road
a road that leads
sends me
something free
amending please
mend my broken life
needfully gift me
a more repentant
less shattered end

encompassed my soul
marching columns
hidden vipers
flaming fire ants
creeping into crawly
destructive armies
nothing timid
sweltering humid
a jungle dance
what if
endless desert
is all we know
extreme dry
freezing cold
sometimes both
befitting sighs
desert mold
trying existence
nomad fold
still that
bold volcanic life
fissured moments
dreamy at times
pleasurable eruptions
treasured cream
yet still
so we are told
gruesome politico
fiery thrills 
volcanic life
fearsome it seems
measuring plastic pills
pyroclastic cure
radioactive gamma
entombed by lava
life consumed
breathing toxic steam
this volcanic life
corrupting our dreams

          * * * 

 

deep chill
having left desert
finally released
all my camels
freed my horses
sold all my goats
all that dry
drifting singing sand
those desert dunes
shifting through
my weathered hands
I left leather John there
baptizing himself
needled in his dugout
somehow still headless
imbibing Jordan River
from that bug out
I've been revising
that moody tone
into hungry jungle
Jaguars are there
black stealth panthers
stinging army ants
so many years
I was clambering
climbing thorny vines
ascending camphored trees
conversing with top monkeys
converting squawking parrots
somehow I survived
even when those
slithering giant anaconda
wrapped me up 
squeezed withered me
so I was trapped
my screams delighting
inviting gnarly
Baba Yaga
she took me
my gnarled hand
leading subversive me
traversing down another
irreversible jungle river
welcome to another
viral chopping block
now I lay me
down for keeps
pray that God
will help me
finally welcome sleep
should I die
before I wake
should clever John
baptize me again
submerge me forever
within that
river of swords
John would speak
giver of words
vocalizing jungle springs
release sacred churning
navigate inoculizing rapids
beyond that acrid
mocking desert
formidable burning fear
damnably certain
desiccation takes over
even that Jordan River
suffering abdication
ever more and more
while every yearning
dedication spake forever
somehow schooled piranhas
truly missing me
unplanned as ever
blissful foolish me
inoculated me
floating free
towards another 
inoculating ocean
John waved
floating free
out in space
John's newest realm
unlike mindless
tangled jungle
or endless desert
Mother's space
a sacred helm
that other place
we should be in
now that is deep
some sacred chill
so now we
this human race
should finally keep
where forever John is
clearly in our hearts
fearless in this space
this virally steep
deep sacred chill

         * * * 

 

I don't want to
turn back time
why would I
go back years
when all that
hardship delivered strife
all those times
time left us
with a broken back
trials versus fears
promises and pledges
those nightmare razors
juggling knives
try balancing
time's arduous edge
commute my sentence
let me live
even struggling
here as now
my acceptance
is a crime
my repentance
against hurried time
so don't turn back
your raging clock
don't fall through
time's crazy crack
don't leave me
visualize this moment
frack me open
sorry time intact
timing seconds
minutes into hours
past into future
fantasy's futuristic dreams
time endlessly devours
no matter where
we are at
no matter 
how we are
just don't try
turning back time
don't despair
as you cry
studying each hour's
daring hand
there be something
quite poetic
about sublime time
all those
songs and poems
past and present
time demands
understand this
time alone
is not a key
to who we are
to how we'll be
it's funny though
how we need to dance
music's special time
it's funny too
how we sleep
dream making love
forgetting time
perhaps sleeps a case
not begetting
timely chance
not regretting
time's fretful
momentary romance
imagine getting
dutiful time
turning itself back
some past rhyme
that last battlefield
some other past crime
somehow counting seconds
landing there
just another
awkward stance
just another
timely chance

         * * * 

nothing stays
remains the same
not air
not water
even light
nothing stays
existing the same
not love
not joy
even compassion
nothing stays
the very same
even bloody greed
even storied hate
coldly not war
nothing stays
exactly the same
not poetry
not song
even dance
those romance games
nothing is static
everything is erratic
even boldly fanatic
exceeding odd
even universe
even creation
even freedom
even God

not one
or two
but all
of us
every thing
entirety's zone
plot one
entirely that
revealing tone
basic life
we all 
contrive right
composing this tome
we once were
chemistry inclusive
quantitative light
measuring that
procreation thing
equating life
toffee addiction
drinking something
morning coffee
sticky things
too much
sugar predilection
eggs to ashes
solar years
contractual fears
life solving
evolving tears
tide inbound
unfolding years
creation's game
fully conceived
as inland sea
schools of being
tribal notions
fabled names
mythic potions
somehow there
we swim
cradling emotion
threading ritual
we crawl
contend growing
brawl as rivals
virtually knowing
we somehow
still walk
continue aging
forever learning
amending margins
some elevate
even run
learn flight
interspatial charge
some of us
those alive
virtually dream
creamy jive
actual yearning
honeyed life
desire right

healing space
some of us
be it fleeting
see God
acknowledge that
healing place
an appealing thrust
all this
human fate
chasing sacred
be nature
heal ourselves
medicine's grace
a healer's trust
be it Asclepius
discovering mortal
fervent healing
or believing
raving madmen
sage healers
brave madwomen
recovering fertile

not one

so bearing
essential vibration
freely immersed

freely share

then eventually
I dozed
fell asleep
dreaming seasons
flash lightning
rash decomposing
crash thunder
still composing
summer beat
love asunder
blistering heat
then eventually
autumn came
everything falling
so many 
autumnal reasons
colouring dreams
how frosty
can love
must be
falling chill
longer nights
summer thrills
calling still
then eventually 
winter arrives
drifting snow
seasonal knives
cutting me
continuance apart
love's heart
pieces really
uneasy love
nothing art
distrust arrives
frozen feeling
drilling ice
winter dreaming
distilling vice
fine snow
blizzard colder
splintering everything
don't believe
love advice
winter brings
shattering everything
drifting grows
we are
intuitively told
then eventually
cleverly bold
spring knocks
speaking sun
winter growls
knowing spring
demands dreams
truly stalling
spring comes
barely crawling
it seems
summer understands
crying love
those ailing
break up
harsh demands
love's trying
treasonal themes
love crying
failing love
those seasonal
falling dreams

        * * * 

 

how wild
can I be
if ever
I grew feathers
I should
fly away
would circle
high mountains
icy places
mountain peaks
drinking wild
sacred water
seek fountains
always wild
dream crying
weeping stone
though truly
one side
whose trying
must always
I who am
somehow atone
we be our
polished contract
staring reflection
daring back
maybe just
that reflective one
is truly
really free
seeing myself
some introspection
my destination
mileage selection
just wild
my indignation
such instigation
wild style
my predilection
I'm fluid
marvelous water
carving thoughts
shooting rapids
flooding canyons
fragility deep
ruddy baggage
I'm druid
worship trees
stand stones
how wild
could possibly
I become
caress lightning
free diving
burning hotter
die competing
God's furious
wild entreating
churning sun
so is living
bountiful learning
so is wild
living this
forever yearning
seeking bliss

      * * * 

 

this issue
so hugely
very big
we just
ever fully
can't imagine
this brush
every stroke
paint bigger
more horrific
boundless picture
haunt larger
this is
profound God
but then
God is
not talk
to us
no words
only clouds
is God
I wonder 
what God
divinely thinks
does God
choose sides
what God
if us
set God
on fire
who would
blame God
or something
nature neighbour
other imaginings
blaming someone
dream people
over there
well blame
all those
brain washed
Gozer demons 
other people
living in
your stormy
upset midst
those ones
you choose 
to hate
those folk
merely trying
just survive
when you
find flames
wearing yourself
exotic fire
just wonder
how you 
will feel
shall God
just applaud
maybe hell
you're flawed
tell God
holy damn
don't give
maybe God
laughing inside
preservation hell
laughing mouth
volcanic consecration
fiery laughing
see me
this laughing
human tissue 
seeing you
rotten laughing
stinking issue
God coughing
rancid stew

      * * * 

 

I watched
yet another
youtube video
more Vancouver
something Hastings
gentler brother
yore somewhere
before this
brutal other
litter strewn
core city
cruel time
more ruins
sorry story
blinding sidewalks
right here
bitter sirens
right there
jittered environs
minding people
living sirens
lying prostrate
splayed out
try cement
pavement mattress
lost everywhere
occupying drugland
half bent
nuclear thugland
waist down
some stand
living nowhere
rude found
powerful descent
hopeless frowns
what crown
what dreams
right here
ever dreamt
oddly even
some where
over there
I thought
I saw
Jesus staring
or maybe
cross bearing
Elijah being
some how
even there
each alleyway
who cares
teaching hunger
lost bearings
reaching wonder
took me
pointing yonder
maybe Moses
will appear
surely plant
willing seeds
watering desert
dissolving fear
filling needs
walk streets
resolving greed
share fashion
caring compassion
poke us
stoned right
many storied
curb life
tempting Pilate
show up
tempest stick
stormy sea
temptation appears
tragic life
no redemption
that drowning
being here
no exemption
actual fear
just surviving
rapture this
being clear
enraptured bliss
created here

       * * * 

 

when you get up
start your morning
I hope you can run
bad men are coming
did you remember
take your morning pill
prescribed by law
not what you will
bad people are coming
all those things they kill
isn't it stunning
but still get up
start your morning
I hope you can run
bad things are coming
by this afternoon
if you've run far enough
something to think about
how durable and tough
how far can you run
outlaws are coming
lock your doors
shutter your windows
hide in your cellar
grasp personal items
food you can share
those few things
that are dear
grab what you can
cuz relentless
bad is already
senselessly here

 

 

         * * * 

 

so that
we end
your thoughts
about it
you know
which ones
what about
in time
it's something
about it
breaking open
my heart
bleeding emotion
charged particles
juggling thought
emitting intention
something lost
all those
other dreams
inner actually
nothing gained
can love
things factual
truly be
somehow sustained
what about
blue emotion
something felt
nothing tamed
maybe lightning
will strike
burn holes
into me
what about
tough love
that end
conflagration game
you know
which one
flaming hearts
you know
bleeding tones
that incinerating
burning end
where everything
just ash
lies cold
seems dark
dreams can't
it seems 
ever mend
love's magic
forever lost
so this
our plastic
drastic love
somehow left
you cursed
spatial trends
never truly
special love
this tragic
interspatial end
my lost
artificial friend
you marshal
beautiful cold
your heart
ruefully told
your soul
tarnished gold
frittered love
into this
our fractured
sunrise sunset
sorrowful end

       * * * 

 

we are
walking dead
growing warts
dander dreads
missing teeth
zombie heads
we are
so stoned
one disaster
irreversibly prone
all together
mostly deaf
whether indivisible
sunrise surprise
nearly blind
instrumental weather
sunset cries
boastfully dithered
raging ageless
phenom clown
critique disguise
old town
oblique stages
pitiful guise
new city
incidental lines
but once
when we
somehow lived
far beyond
this novel
impossible rave
before this
improbable grave
impassible AI
somehow stole
what was
universal role
creative living
universally driven
somehow this
audiotronic moaning
everything given
droning heads'
unabbreviated AI
everything invasive
irretrievable time

         * * * 

 

did you ask
to be born
or was it 
simply chance
some luck
or divine 
novel intention
what about
those stars
aligned with heaven
maybe then
we'll find 
an answer
to what
we are
where we
have been
how now
existence intact
birth contracts
signed sealed
then delivered
not luck
or chance
but relevance
with nature
answering God
as every
divine creature
rephrases glory
storied reprise
something intervention
so conception
more over
natural connection
ovulated egg
resolvent sperm
divinity's natural
living invitation
be that
sacred interpretation
crowded jungle
or desert thirst
this newborn
universal inclination
soulful spirit
seeking something
further education
being something
so lastly asking
while we
are born
is this
sacred soul
revelated first
or is 
birth alone
spirit's consolation

          * * * 

 

what's left 
besides waves
relevant moments
demanding fear
what remains
besides tides
incredible moments
seeing clear
forever went
slamming doors
eternal came
wanting more
closed eyes
being here
clasped hands 
devotee cries
what's left
besides grains
troubled sand
washed up
bloodied gore
what's next
mixing mortar
thick slurry
cement dreams
into bloody
unfurled torture
remorseful scenes
ingesting mercury
beyond that
medicinal themes
what's next
God's will
dreaming creation
something beautiful
divine invitation
beyond human
universal stasis
relevated terrestrial
savoury illumination
what's left
beyond that
celestial communication
what's left
tsunami waves
surging tides
beyond that
human madness
what's left
past this
human sadness
 

      * * * 

 

time again
flailing motion
sailing then
crazed emotion
flying zen
trinket notions
crossing time
dismissive caution
walking reckless
perilous lines
permissive motivation
juggling invitation
what about yours
these moments
what about mine
rolling donuts
peering through
life's missing
elusive hole
search seconds
innocent days
count minutes
all these
kissing nights
reveling hours
timely commotion
all of yours
phased communication
all of mine
gauged promotion
this millennial
significant age
beyond menial
hands on
time's eternal
universal clock
ticking down
profound space
sensing here
resounding time
sublimely clear
immensely grounding
time's precious
insistent place
poetic somehow
your smiling face
embracing now

         * * * 

 

what about 
that sometimes
romantic dream
where you
are real
when I'm
not alone
but then
I wake
to find
you are
truly gone
foolishly something
about dreams
they don't
last long
truthfully something
about you
all about
passionate love
or so
it seems

      * * *  

 

does God
ever speak
without thinking
would God
create things
without blinking
could God
break things
after drinking
should God
float things
save sinking
what if
God would
make things
much better
what could
God do
writing things
prophetic letters
maybe thinking
God should
speak words
reform swords
some thing
forever better
maybe dreaming
we should
reform words
creating poems
thinking God
speaks poetry
not simply
enlightened words
creation thinking
divine letters
does God
ever digress
think God
sacred ingress
thank God
divine progress

        * * * 

 

what if
love died
what would
could we
ever do
what if
we all
went blind
maybe sunlight
would be
less important
maybe we
would adapt
become absolute
dense underground
cave blind
but senseless
tinned fish
inside inner
never see
rich gorgeous
dynamic light
what if
utter madness
manic us
took all
panic everyone
never talking
no anyone
longer walking
only crawling
what then
my human
fellow beings
that where
nothing scene
means all
since anything
we are
our father's
mother's dreams
eroding rock
demanding divine
insane erosion
blame sand
grinding things
sad incline
madly blind
want unraveling
travail brings
traveled grief
perhaps something
refines adept
again dreams
righteous love
vying light
trying left
bereft space
sad empty
difficult place
truth finds
love dies
evolving heart
lost grace
confusing sound
displacing parts
that sightless
disgraced place
crazed mind
romance drowns
stasis profound
emotion love
goes blind
never seeing
ever being
something sensational
crying love's
blind impassioned
dying face
