on:Come back to me old friend
That undefinable, undeniable essence
A wave of energy that carries through all you do, making everything better
That invisible jive only you can hear and dance to
Born in you, nurtured by you, taken by none
Yet, somehow hides in the shadow of stress and despair
No flashlight can find it, no begging, or pleading
Only when you step back into the sunlight, unafraid of what may be waiting there, will it reappear, rear up, and be free
Lingo
Posted March 20, 2023
on:Freedom of failure
It builds, silently grasping verbiage
Giving wings, falling short in mid flight
Words-shackle and key
Expressing and enslaving
Utilized, appreciated, while knowing the truth I seek to speak…ever on hold even when told
Until soul lingo we invent that illuminates emotions full intent
Thank You

on:Breath of life
Spirit fight
Wearing hassle like graduation day tassel
Unearthing energy from the lower echelons-a reserve reserved for such occasions
An isolated isotope needing to neutralize, to reconnect
Redistribution explosive union
Tranquil tremulous ignition
Steady as she goes, whichever way the wind blows, where she ends up nobody knows
Happenstance or God’s Great Dance-either way I’ll take the chance
Ideological Addiction
Posted March 6, 2023
on:Addicted to the idea of who we should be-an illusion
Juxtaposition of control and fate
Locked in time ever present
Second hand counting up or down depending on the joy or frown
Like a clown faced monkey we perform to its tock letting it derive at what makes us tick
One hand our creation the other our downfall and the thin line eternally rotating through both
Second by second ascertaining our worth
Put a cog in the wheel and erase your expectation
Find contentment in the absence of containment
Infernal
Posted March 2, 2023
on:Silver bullet locked and loaded
Ink bled magnetic cement
Current on a bed of fiber soaking each utterance before it can breathe
Choking on triumphant hope-invisible cloak of armor
Your touch a fuse-electric-ignites my being
Trail blazing across my cheek
The trigger your thumb
Target my guttural impulses
A silent moan knows no home
Vagrant eternal
This love’s inferno hero
Concrete Jungle
Posted February 12, 2023
on:Ghosts in my mind tell me of things long forgotten from a time a part of me can’t forget. A part a person can not hide, even in the fathoms of lifetimes past-a sacred knowledge that is passed from the collective unconscious to the cellular existence…a birthright of souls from light to life. I miss the moist ground beneath my feet, the wind between my toes, sunscreen free sunshine, and berries on the trees. All I see now are their invisible, infinite shadows in a concrete jungle maze. Who are we in this dance of moments when the bell rings, and we race to the schoolyard with untethered abandon. So many bright lights trying to dodge the lamp shades determined to dim them. Vulture, or mouse, choice, or fate-we are all on this dualistic human rite of passage that our souls undertake…hard to tell sometimes which part is bumping around in the carriage and which is driving it. Freedom the restricted wilderness of our state parks, where for a minute you can taste the breath of eternity before closing hours when you return to the breath itself.
Auditory Frequency
Posted February 3, 2023
on:Song plays
I close my eyes feel rain the absence of pain
A warmth builds a bridge between the melodic lyrics and my heart’s rhythmic beat
I hold still in the negative entropy
Imploding and exploding, a reordered collapse of the space time continuum
Like an astral projection watching a tantric dreamy dance
The song ends-light changes
Matrix returns to “normal”
I step on the gas somewhere between mechanical and automated transport
To get from here to there..while really aren’t we all already there?
Release
Posted February 2, 2023
on:True Self awakening
Freedom Five
Elixir for life
Cat perched
Paws on fire
Silent guffaws answered in soaked laughter
Pushing through tears to transmute fears into faith
Joy and hope its own reward on Kerouac’s road to a detour around suffering
Asphyxiated enough by the diesel in our own engines
Destination irrelevant
Just wanting a journey to smile at
Beatnik dreams
BEING
Posted January 27, 2023
on:Stillness exudes condensed confidence
A dichotomy of unsettled rest, or centered restlessness
To anchor the two allows a unification in the mirror between them
Revealing true peace
Balance
Harmony
Within their coexistence
*A simply profound realization encapsulated by Lao Tzu, “Search your heart and see the way to do is to be.” 🙂
DIFFERENCE
Posted January 19, 2023
on:What if?…
The door never opened, or closed
The call was never taken, diagnosis never given
I turned the other way, walked away, left the party, went to the class, sat in another chair
Or crossed the grass, not in the dirt
Who would I be today?
Less joyous, hopeful, anxious, worried, alone?
Would the darker corners finally see the fragment of light, or shadow eclipse the bright?
Peel back the band-aids to reveal skin never scarred?
Or would I somehow remain the same, just in a different refrain?
What if amidst fate, choice, luck-there is no difference?
To the profoundly limitless potential of Spirit
