Peak Brilliance (summa cum laude)

They celebrate the intellect
with cold-hearted affections
for the flesh is too far to touch
and uncertain in its love

They fear the face plain for all to see
and in advertisments fall short
of their own living being

The determined pressure from heights above
establishes the whips of the chained hordes

And a voice stretches across the sea
calling from ash the army
and from the intermitent place of absence
light is shed upon the carcass
just as it must be

They celebrate the life to come
while wallowing drunk
inebriate to Jupiter's light
Vesper's death in new morning is bright
He returns with a new name
in full strength to shoulder the blame.

Second Sight

The projection through the trees

the mask that begs please

Bright pre-dawn jitters

few critters

nick knockin' click clockin'

tweet tweetin' reposing responding

phoney correct pronunciation

dunce on the hill dirty mouthing

the local spiritual leader in spirit

for a deep rooted misunderstanding of respect

what is My name?

What is the accent of my heart

the wild misgivings

about the treatment of women

pasts and futures planned

already written in possibilities

scratching bare surfaces

breaking splinters in prized staff

for a cane in old age

and wisdom of past histories

and modern mythical stories are not as holy

downright.

So the song was already sung

and the beat I think I heard in the stars

and the voices were deadly harsh

and the Earth did hear at moments loud

proclamations of simple choices

both quick and sudden

written ether coinciding

with levels of truth that we are hiding

behind mirrors of behavior

primal.

And there it was giving strength

by its name

and the leader that this colony claims

through the knowledge of its history it blames

called by name and expounded throughout the galaxy

and echo un herd

solitary

separate

I am not one of you

you are one with me

I think there is a tribe that bares my name

I've dwelt there since the beginning

and in the wrong I've been blamed

the brand of the spoon and shame

do you know My name?

So bright and clouds came

the last thing seen

and into eddy son

back

root

sleep

time all

not come

rest I am here

and I know your name

the hour is set.

Humanity Is Love

Love is base and epiphenomenal to all else:
being behind and above every action,
below and beyond everything,
and in the wonders of humanity
forsaking all objectivity
it is the truth of this matter ephemerally
we carry forever in that moment we be.

Fear of Being Perceived

Taught manners
Bonzai!!!!
taught response
taught to swim
in a group in sin
taught to bow
unliving
makin' money
crowded
bound
fear of being perceived.

Rails the Sign of Chaos

It shines like shattered glass
on the side of a mountain unseen
just beyond the rail
that guards us from chaos.

It is posted pure
like a profitical magazine
that adheres to the stream
of the consciousness keeping
the ikon clean
with products smelling nice
and soap white knuckled
to sheol shroud
hope forgotten scene.

There used to be cobblestone-now
we are horseless breathe-in
the tire dust it will get you home-quickly.

Inbrandishingmeant

And in her eyes I she what I meant
those moments young again
and a curl of the lip
bidden

And in her hands I feel what I meant
no bounds no whip no torment
no promise or butter product
my brand

My heart holds a brand
and beats whole hallowed in between
those moments I see
time spending moving
stories and scenes
hang-ups dramatic from pasts digested

what is unclean
in habits given
we nail down the flesh
and our spirits mesh
and dread flapping in the wind
moving love again

no sugar no honey
no bees
humor captivating intellectual wondering
scolding brat fits
perfectly
complementary
unowned
hugging me

unspoken knowing moments meant
youth claims my future
inbrandishingmeant

Freedom

Lift up you knees
on this march towards winter's eve
yes it is quite dark
and any glimmer or semblance of light
has been shown to be
nothing but sin
individually you lose
and they win
you've been broken
hear the crack of the whip
cream of the crop product
it's all you got left.

Sugar Bars

Eight bars of 5/8 song
sweet talking going on
mystic delerium strong
humility

whistle and hum
crescendo chant
some mysterious star
moving among the trees
the dead bodies

sun has over shined
this one done
new bars
sweeter than before
eddies on and on
dancing in some
relativistic wilderness of numbers
mist looking on
back one summer one circle of a day
and one winter same as the night
forty and one-hundred-twenty-five
three-point-one-four-one-five-nine
into infinity...

crows carring disater on the call
if hawks could they would caw

Broken Prophecy Publicly Speaking

Public forum
foreign tongue
melody blasphemy
bring before me
any one condeming
and out from their feet
universal grace
show them the furnace
the desolate place
that contains therein no one
and out comes after dusts to dusts
purer than pure gold
more funtional more useful
like glorious kings of old
enter that place one by one
in glory of kingdoms
of childrens imaginations
that could not kill soul
nor empty mountains of gold
nor be sold
for in the shadow
the heart of language
no trust of men could courage
no rust or moth consume
dusty attics
old toys
bats set free
from bell towers
at those hours the flesh does sleep
no more cosmetics cheap
at expense of sufferings
of uncounted sheep
dead in the blast killing millions
but only one species reported
to ash in that matter
black moth rising
oil spilling surprising
years upon years knowing
just rewards coming
public joyous kingdom
put a damper by death
the faithless
self existence
that world is ending
here is the border
shiver in chaos
dread the voice
and the temper
the timbre
temple
the spirit is awaken
spongyform colony
choosing discrepancies
love mending misphilosophies
hear the children singing
the sight a misfortune
rolling pumpkin heads hand shakes
dissappointment
a vote for them
against the true king
mirror image shadow hording
calling breath rambling heart chanting
terrible things but beauty therein
releasing armies from hades
the battle begins
power of the engine
dye again
paint the lightning
thunder and harm again
polling down roots
of old trees breaking
sidewalk solutions
baby land pillar of economy falling
dread
lost income
dead
fight once again as refined majesty
glory is coming
condemnation and curse waving
listen vengeance begins
don't lay the line of concern for him
it is simply his hairy tick's he may be carring
unorthodox steps
public forum
chanting tongue
respect the living
listen to your Holy King
Let the dead be burying thier dead:
walk with me now or get out of my way
tree being falling calling my name
Dawn Star rising again
welcome to the eddy
pentagonal kick to the shin
dig?
feast on the flesh of kings
this day knowing what it means.

Torn Flesh and Emotions Fight, Flight, and Run

Early for a choice such as this
caught in the rays beginning in the East
a sight on horizons in tangents do come
torn flesh and emotions fight, flight, and run.

To take to the sky complications rife
strife and strive for endings plain
again the sound come over the seas
please return to home and be

ever again
calling words
hearing rants
having truth

Are scribbling to feel a certain way
day after day it comes this way
making warnings like on iron road
or twinkling signs banging the road

beating the chest
laying the law
scribing the line
maklawfaw

and here comes the dreaded time
wineless inebriation feeling fine
just
a little vengeance
unworthy of holiness
yet coming that time

Forgetting some silly wish
sun setting in the west
Earth plays rhythms like my drum
torn flesh and emotions fight, flight, and run.

Destiny Choice

Life is alive,
breathing fire...
on the edge of choice we wander:
and there is love and there is death
enjoy every breath.

We strive to conquer calamity
in our small lives
and in our minds
we play out the worst consequence.

Let the fire consume the heart
and to ash move on to justice
not after death
but destroying life
living in joy
contrary to all negativity
that may infringe upon our destiny.

Plum Walls

The four plum walls
they do abhore
anything unsavory
unclean

The chicken scratch
on the walls
the scribble the scrat
an ancient consciousness

And here we are floating in space
running for office like as a race
forging freshly shaven productive faces
leaving only carbon traces

Sure these six squares
raked clean of all disease
painted and pure
adhere
ad here

Clinched fists
around the change
down to death she screams
and her beast only appears
in that ancient consciousness
the amalgam of minds
with supreme intent
for profit

But there is anger fester
in roots of trees
and fish-like eggs
in water colours
rainbow tellers
undone is the banter
that misinforms
pressure stress dorms
membrane memory short sickness
forget

The return does call
civilized men fall
no plum walls
hoops and dragons war
consumption of imagination is all.

How'd it End up Here?

What is this tenderness that strengthens the heart
while in pain grows
and fire consumes
leaving ash
spiraling
winds?

What is this strength that softens the face
when laughter blooms
and moistens toes
like due
penetrating
skin?

What is this speechlessness that quiets a kiss
when sight left blind
and nothing knows
but truth
waiting
again?

The actor reminisces of loves lost
and falls to a seat in tears flow
this present
this gift
begging some power
not to be taken
begging some
words to be written
spoken
but action.

May pains be swift
of sicknessess and
mistakes yet made
to return again
to the answer
this poem bade
its just love
but not again
like the dirty roots the tree
the hidden place fallen waste
seen in shadow a joke and smile
laughter and friendship
companionship forever.

Going Outside

As the days grow
upon me
once like a wart

Twice in some rest
left me
amusment like a cart

Pushing on in silence
singing to the god
deep within Isolation

Leave a big one
saw dust to dust
beyond the border

feeling the song overheard
seeing the dance clouds onward
just a day for just reward
and the circle complete
now I'm new never knew
this spirals up in what is negative
holding them souls down
while uplifting is all they thought bad
take my hand again
till beyond the end
hell is tame where we go
day to day
again and again
dusts to dusts
produce and release souls
impossible
love.

100 = 1

Inferential circumference
navigating discovering
wild waves of ecstacy
slide ruling riding seas
plead and please question
posted borders give orders
held down under higher
powers her eyes stare at me.

Work Ethic

Can see it the darkness between the neon waves,
while sun shines bright and sets upon the horizon
hopes and dreams for other days.

Come to Me Again

Wonder followed by loss
gold leftover dross
this physical touch
is much more
than lost

adore
these eyes do see
no kidding
is it proper to boast
to reveal everything at once?

Yonder this time
the benefit the cost
just a little pain
it's not all the same
love of every soul
but empty is a hole
where no blood pumps

filling in calm
put up the umbrella
riddle me forever
just sing
story telling
quiet the emptiness
fill in the noise
shhhhhhhhhh.

Vibrations making wind
muscles pushing grins
grim and forbidden
intention
loss
dross
gold.

Chosen
Walking
Talking

these skins rubbing
palms of fingers friction
down the sensitive outer shell
breath and salty sweat
non toxic

are you awake?

Come to me again.

Global Warming

Called into the shadows
overpowering sun
for a fantasy unreal just for fun
a break escape not fake
necessity

Walked into darkness
alone in some certain pain
caring less and less
hardened heart
necessity

Offering cooler areas
a break from the sun
overpowering
harshness always
warning

Promises plain and false
oaths taken for eyes of flesh
legitimatize ceremony hope
dying tree
winter
storms as seen
cut

The tent of tender effects
the daily healing
the dumbfounded calmness
panic
a solid bridge
sunscreen

To hold out a hand
in the dark land
seeing no sun nor moon
enlightened as to ease
of torment
and jealousy
November moves
the star falls
say good night
as sure as gravity
see you in the morning.

Untaxable Laundry

Bartering in the system
living free of change
and lost coins ringing pale noise:
cycling, drying, and dying history.

An Answered Request

In this there is no pact
no promise no oath
just a request
fulfilled with love
comforted
with power beyond rationality
with sight seeing far away
majesty
in everything
the comfort of eyes seeing good
divinity
parental gift
no pact
no oath
no promise
just love.

Calling

Feeling the call
where new knowledge makes ignorance
where the expansion of the base
and the fire in the tent at center stalls
stars are for seeing bright
the closed home to all before
the fake dream
the accusation
a tiny current making egoes strong
jealousy consumes the human conception
the righteousness.

Feeling the call
escape this world
teather
weather inclement
moon and sun
not need
but circling.

Is it all that is seen
as separate in this season
the walls and fences
the glitter
stories told
that out last profits cold.

Feeling the call
choosing to satiate
in weeks deliberate
necessity saving
to the ceiling
healing hold
stealing in nights
calling.

This is the way it is
hearing
feeling the calling
and a chrysalis
a darkness
a falling out of control
clasp these hands
dreaming
the fantasy
calling
to achieve in death
work beyond any man
wind pushing
heart wrong
called.

Few ever have seen
experience
this
sung burning
hidden in bushes
shoeless
alone
with one other
the ancient line
feeling the calling
forever
changing before
eyes.

There it is the false hope
the dream told wrong
the way of selfishness
the way of egoless hidden parent
the power taking
the evil gone
the choice
feeling the calling
home.

Unalterable Fire

As crossing the cold sea:
the depth unfathomable;
the waves relentless;
lips turning purple;
fingers shriveling;
imagination:
cities on shore;
fires and warm breezes;
food and drink;
reality:
cross the sea.

Spirit Unknown

Who is it now that was Seeing?
Who is it now that was Watching?
Who is it now that was Singing?
Who is it now that was Joying?
Who is it now that was Raging?
Who is is now that was Judging?
Who is it now that was Weeping?
Who is it now that was Fearing?
Who is it now that was Acting?
Who is it now that was Laughing?
Who is it now that was Thinking?
Who is it now that was Dreaming?
Who is it now that was Wondering?
Who is it now that was Silencing?

Man Living God?
Or
God Living Man?

Who was it that nothing could harm
and all the universe was a playing
and all the consequence divine
and all the evil a shadow
and all the love mechanical spiraling
in patterns echoing
and tones of rage ending
and tunes of melodies uncontrolled
seeking a King
and finding nothing but action
what is what you're believeing
all on your own
what is it you be wanting
no need asking when you are one
seeing trees and leaves crunching
stomach growling
and fearing a border of wilderness
a melody taken away by children unjudging
hacking chopping profits dead
smiles on angels in dread
the unknown sound graffiti
remembred by none but
the one hearing
a mere roar
un herd
and among all this
when exit more than justified
but trodden divine
saying:

"I will never understand you
but forever would I walk with you
now here
I have seen Man
and thought of God
or
thought of Man
and see God."

Omega Position Burning Reflection

The practiced art
not good enough
for a shiny world
found life all it's own
and then some.

The sound like rhythmic patterns
unpleasant to the crowd
but continued to blast
found an audience
unknown to them.

Something beyond mistake
beyond efficiency's habit
beyond general and ordinary conception.

Heart music
Heart poetry
rejected in ways of life
embarrassing
heeding some fallen country
skin on a rock
rot.

And there that emotion burning all existence
for the self that called all else
being written and remembered
for that very reason
this glory shared
with the worthy.

Seeing self as the will
as the flesh sublimity
as each soul sole journey
meeting in that place
beyond forgiveness
the temple of eternity
being whole in rejection
present to the self
a warriors breath
in spite of false journey
and eddy-like sojourn
evolutionistic endings
death into unity
conquered unto living being
happily
enduring periodic negativity.

Approximation

 Been wandering down involuntary paths;
not unknown;
not less traveled;
just different angles.


Conscious blood in a circulatory system
wanting expression and not being hidden
even in this season.


Weighted words meted out
egnored in jealousy causing lonely.


Isolation profession;
poetry posted;
fallng on floors in patterns distractedly unnoticed in vain haste.

Road Kill

She did not see it coming
her children behind playing
they frolic in her path
she did not know they move that fast
they lag behind in innocence
believing they know the key
she did not see it coming
now they wail and are starving.


I did not see it coming
then I saw her end trails
and the fresh blood spattered
the tire pressure just right
to serve efficiency
what just vanity
cage this emotion
usless
pointless
nothing will listen
nothing is this feeling
I did not see it coming.


Staff-like coptic anger
released upon infinity
this vanity could use some balancing
abandoned shopping cart
a cliche' so handy
on this highway human fear was in carriages
for my heart was acting
from power beyond me
this I caged and loosed retaliation
within the confines of time
punishment for a clean justice
for law is in place
and those who do not obey
are road kill.


We did not see it coming
struck by lightning
now we're starving.

Bench

A time out on plastic yellow feathers that once held rain a few times ten.
A benching on childhood memories past on through generation after generation.
A misnomer of a misnaming of a mood complaining.
A short season in darkness and tears (sirens blaring)
but losing track of scores do adore time's company
companioning untainted by facsimilies and facades
and chlorine breakin weather coming once again...

Proof of Purchase

Flesh born in the season
of the evening Venus rising
Spirit born in the season
of the morning Venus rising
they mingle in this mesh
they conflict giving falsity
sin, error and superiority

What is that I hear you muttering
something about a recovering economy?
something about peace and safety?
something about job security?

It is I on the hill
making the unforgettable proclamation
unforgivable
unthinkable to mankind and his kin
It is Zion that heals
don't go getting the servant angry
for he flares up easily
sooth his feet on this here footstool
take refuge in the One that rules.

What is it that this consciousness has written?
What is it that from this ocean has arisen?
What is it that this pinnacle is boasting?
soundin' up and alike
lightnin'
ask
and all before
and after you I shall a be givin'

Oh mighty ruler measure out
lift on up the phonetical completion
raise up from the flesh that be rottin'
bring about the long awaited
impossible kingdom
breakin' the nations with that rod of Iron
tune it to infinity
mastering the song that is redeeming.

So in all of this land mighty man
are you listening?
quit reving your foolish engine
and start tuning your ear
to the one singing
to better a changing
for he fears not the course your takin'
because he can go anywhere
and there always singing
his almighty power and raining
a simple judgement to be aware
take refuge in the One coming.

It may be a vulgar translation
but hey look behold in the dark
a light been given
to the darkest one prayin'
the spirit here may seen too stumblin'
and the star seems forsaken and fallen
because stricken with the seven unwritten
sacred serpents spiraling
in every direction
the wilderness of eternity designing
as each pang occuring
beyond the birth and the home
of the begining and the ending.
