he said I gota do something about where we’re headed
we thought we were creating a world for our children
we took the poison of material culture and spread it
preached it as gospels
killed to hold on tight
saying all the time we were living like soldiers
laying velvet dirt with a fight
screaming of freedom from crowded egos
damning our children to where we should go
standing still hollering to ears turned against us
wondering if when they get there will they remember us?
he said we must ask for amends
we thought creation meant destruction first
we controlled the very breath of humans and sold it
killing spirits of our own brothers to feel power
saying all the time they are hells creatures who feed on scum
screaming of freedom like savage Romans
trampling life of Gaia’s Earth
wondering if in her wake
when she quakes her wrath into our vanity
if she will remember us
he said we have to do something about what we’re doing
remember us

•August 17, 2009 • Leave a CommentHe stands amid the circle
Adoni folds him in her wings
brush the sting of death held at bay
wrap him warm still the storm
Awaken in a vivid dream
renewing arms of Divine love
He sat beneath the healing tree
Neptune’s drizzle washing clean
Prussian arms of healing mist
Sea’s aroma soaks and bliss
expressed in a deluge from above
He slept beneath the Lunar light
Midnight fingers boney and white
Stream of blue and his tears fall light
swept the dusty veils of mind
reveal the world hidden behind
While all of life is standing still
Images tiptoe into the real
The deep blue sings of truth
beyond where it can be seen
He stands outside his mind
picturing life in a vibrant change
outside the cocoon
another world, time,
the minds eye, whatever
gods live there
Castles
•August 17, 2009 • Leave a CommentI feel like I did before the magic wore thin.
Like a child at the waters edge
hanging onto a sand paradise
holding destiny in a pale.
If I close my eyes I sense there is more to life
beyond that line where water meets the sky
Warm pale yellow sun lighting on a fantasy,
Orange sunset illuminates the Ocean current filling, refreshing, changing
Toeing the waters edge, I stood at a crossroad.
A future shaped by watching waves, coercion in a blue ocean,
becoming the force of change in a glance back
when innocence still held a glimmer of what my tomorrow could be
The bliss showing no regard for awaiting peril.
Then it hits me as I stand here,
breathing in the fumes of what it was like to feel aliveness
when the dream still pulsed and I remember
I missed who I was when I stood at the waters edge
And promised Neptune I’d never leave that bliss.
His icy blue arms licked the walls of my dream castle with salty glue
And he said…”never let time take your castle”.
Now here, standing in the door of tomorrow looking back,
feeling stronger,
with that scrap of a childhood dream feeling real in my hand.
I can sense the child inside me laughing at walls
becoming sand beneath my feet.
My castle walls washed into the sea.
Swallowing a vanishing future or a crumbled past.
I don’t know who I am these changes alter me…unrecognizable.
I saw someone else in that reflection, before the magic thinned.
Before life ran riotous.
Before everything changed,
even the potency of the dream is stronger.
Wayward destinies lap yearning, covetous.
My vision follows the reasons down a path out to the sea.
Then it hits me as I stand here, at the waters edge.
Feeling the breeze
tasting the freedom in the wind
before the magic wore thin.
That scrap of paper holding the dream still pulsing
breathing in the fumes.
He said: ”never let time take your castle”.
Come Undone
•August 3, 2009 • Leave a CommentIf I could scream to Jupiter to come take me home
If I could cry out loud enough to make him hear
If I could stretch my arms and fly away
would it be to spend another breath in this world I don’t belong?
If it all comes undone in a new tomorrow why bother?
He asked me why I said its hopeless. Why? Why not give in now?
Why keep trying when it all comes undone before we start.
My energy spent keeping spirit alive,
supplication to the god’s for a breath of life falls deafened,
my idea of love suffocates under this.
The hope I see in tomorrows sky seems to fade,
promise in a message that someone from on high has heard me
maybe I succeeded in tasting my dying dream for a time
maybe life accomplished keeping me silent
maybe the way to let go is so much easier than my will to live imagines.
I can’t take another day of hoping that this road might lead to love
knowing deep inside that dying here leaves a negative answer.
Is this the death that’s required to enter enlightenment? I’m there completely.
If I could scream I’d say I can’t take another day.
If I could stretch my arms and fly this thing I’d crash into the full moon and hold on tight.
Because a crash seems a better way to die than in this.
Knee deep in my new tomorrow the one I dug in and fought for.
Maybe I will to leave my mark on the world.
Leave some words to Dharma who I know can make them come alive.
I’m standing in the door of tomorrow enlightened rays spray across my face
one step leaves this world behind
nirvana winds alluring fingers around my mind.
How tempting to step off the edge and depart.
He asked me if at some point would I hang it up for something new.
If he only knew. I said it all comes undone before we start.
HALF A WORLD AWAY
•July 30, 2009 • Leave a CommentINSPIRED BY OCEANLAB:
My love you are the movement from another realm
Your words fuse passion-awaken Spirit
Divine Mother & Deus Powers follow everywhere alter everything
You may be invisible but I hear your footsteps from half a world away
I follow your movement in the dream realm
Your Spirit pulls me behind the glass to a world that’s real
Infuse with light, transform thoughts inside out
before you sleep at night you pray for me your lucky star
May I inspire dreams that guide you from half a world away

Can you fly this thing? before I hit the down slope
before my head explodes before my strength crumbles
Blow evidence that love is for me
because tomorrows mayhem will crush me for sure & I can’t endure another day

GAIA’S HERO:
•July 10, 2009 • Leave a CommentI asked him why? He simply said: Gaia Gaia Gaia
Waning spirits suppress a curtained mist.
Torrents drawn back behind the canopy.
His eyes dampen and spill, no longer stilled.
Bromeliads, hold flooding rivers in green cupped veins Continue reading ‘GAIA’S HERO:’
MOONLIGHT MUSE
•June 21, 2009 • Leave a CommentNestled under the fairy like Rowan trees barren of their russet flowers, clothed instead in a lunar blue nightgown. Chilled breath of the twelfth night lapping through opened French doors of the makeshift concert hall, combing the naked stick trees, like boney white fingers.
One solitary light focuses on My Muse, his shadowed figure madly running fingers up and down the Ivory teeth of a white Grand Piano, casting off a saddened yet passionate Moonlight Sonata flooding the Indigo Serenade into the dark corners. Magnificent musical talent never displayed by a single written note or any shred of rehearsed sheets, highlighted by the tones and hues of La Luna’s iridescence. The concerto trickles flawlessly under fingers adorned like a Stellar God. Continue reading ‘MOONLIGHT MUSE’
SPEAK OF LOVE:
•June 21, 2009 • Leave a CommentChanging lanes on a strange road still alone in this chaos huffing loads in solitude
Straining Nights Inky tentacles for my voice funneled into fragmented passages
draining sentiments weakened in potency. Slathering silent pages til they crystalize with tears,
My broken mind congeals loosening the road behind, letting the curtain fall closed
and blacken the waisted years. Locked away in annuals of forms never to inhabit again. Continue reading ‘SPEAK OF LOVE:’
Ocean song
•April 26, 2009 • Leave a Commenttwo translations of a song I wrote for my first novel. If the translation is incorrect please be kind because I translated it on an online site.
JAKANAN’S song:
If you wish to think inward, think of anyone, or anything notice a depth of Ocean, the tide, the sea. Behold three beauties; one as the tide races la Luna’s call to wane and wax full her arms, two as Arial’s high skirts support the surf, the sand and three their refuge as they dance for me.
WELSH: Ai ddeisyfi at dybied ‘n dufewnol , dybied chan hunrhywun , ai ddim sylwa ddyfnder chan Aig , ‘r aches , ‘r aig. Canfod ‘n dri dillynion hun fel ‘r aches cenhedloedd la Luna’s alw at wane a chwyra llonaid ‘i arennau , ‘n ddau fel Arial’s ‘n dal chyrrau atega ‘r beiston a dywod a ‘n dri ‘n hwy achles fel dawnsian ata.
LATIN: Sis reor penitus , recordor quisquam , vel quisquam animadverto profundum of Ocean , estus , profundum. Aspicio three decorus ; unus ut estus natio nationis la Luna’s dico decresco quod increbresco plenus suus telum , duos ut Arial’s altus velitatio suscipio superficies quod sand quod three suum refugium ut they tripudio mihi.
