painful
moments in time
so far from the sublime
not having a very good time
release

painful
those memories
powerless to control
altered sense of reality
release

painful
sadness sometimes
meeting a greater grief
feel as if the world is crying
release

Do you seriously believe that?
Some believe we're all important equally
Of course there'd be no he without she
Nor would there be any she's without he's
Together we form humanity
Joining forces is our destiny

and everyone is forced to pay

and we're drowning in mountains of litter

in the middle of autumn chill
darkness all around me still
trees sit tall in velvet black
beauty seen in light we lack
yet soon the sun will return
rising just to see the moon
rain has stopped its attack
hope wind will not come back
yesterday's leaves blew strong
filled the air before touching down
exquisite flight of earth and fire hue
reflects the beauty found inside of you

.................

where to begin to thank you again
for bringing your energy here often
writing your thoughts so eloquently
gracing these threads quite elegantly

wherever you go your love does show
caught in your words of inspiration
reflecting feelings of pure sensation
touching all with admiration

back when the foundations of earth were laid
all was one wherever life energy was given
before the romans brought judgement in
before the concept of satan would begin
for that was a purely man-made creation
to keep the masses from getting too strong
to begin the division that is oh so wrong
using fear as a tool to stop unity all along
but we are far more than the creation of war
we are far greater than just earthly beings
we are all that there which is so many things
reflections of not just the illusion of duality
but some say we truly are the image of divinity
connected to all that there is universally
for we are pure spirit in a human body

tis of thee we be ridden
or maybe be smitten
with love's warmest mitten
like the fur of a kitten
keeping us safe when it's cold
case by case it can take hold
and when it does it's like soap suds
popping and rainbow'ing all over you
cleansing and healing as they do

in the pink, violet violated shades -
or feeling blue -
the lucky ones escape the rape
others can't break the curfew
knowing their home is unsafe
but imprisoned for years
tied up especially at night
tightly bound by their fears....

so what does it take escape
when your own or your childrens'
lives are at stake?
for courage is not what's missing
but maybe a rising of
extraordinary energy
will finally help you run free
and eventually see
life can be a blessing

..............

holding no fear
this might be an incredible year
so which direction do you choose?
what energy will you most use?
be careful not to burn a fuse
or your life force you will lose

tomorrow is nuthin
but one more passing
bonus if your pass is lasting
course there's no guarantee
just pure will-power you carry
cuz addictions can be quite scary
losing control with nothing saying no
each day's a celebration when you finally let go

...............
Posted: 11/2/2009 728 AM

the courage to face and
embrace each new day
is an incredible blessing
taking you all the way
from your start to finish
and onto the next round
when you find your truth
then love of all can be found
course we each have our times
stress or strain brings you down
then is when you might wear a frown
just trying to figure out what's going on
and sometimes letting go can be real slow
but with each second there's also the chance
to remember the beauty of life's precious dance

.................

eyelids mingle
so do thighs
used to be single
but what a surprise
seems we're meant to be
strangely in our compatibility
found someone as crazy as me
who at the drop of our hats
doesn't mind siamese cats
and can love intuitively

.............
Posted: 11/4/2009 828 AM

I'll be me and you be you ....
then we're gonna do a switcharoo
and try life in each other's shoe
see life through each other's eyes
this would be a soul opening exercise
gracing us with true empathy
for each of us holds a skeleton key
going all the way back through our ancestry....

'infinity is a long time'
imagining in my mind
when I was very young
just before falling asleep
I'd try and imagine infinity
I'd try and imagine the deep....
imagining never ever ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
coming back or being ever again
once we're in a coffin....
at a very young age
trying to get a sense of the never after
trying to see just one life is what we be....
came to the belief we do not just live individually
came to believe we do not die and end
to never live or love again....
came to believe in reincarnation
maybe not always in human formation....
because
infinity is a long time

the end of your season
leads to a new one
all life is transition
as one cycle ends
another will begin
continuous motion

a ship sailing through time's clocks
getting caught in those illusive locks
lost in the journey dependent on time....
writing predictably when I'm so stuck in rhyme....

one day I'll do as my brother did say
try and release my mind from thinking this way
but perhaps it will not begin today
'cuz writing in rhyme can be fun
seeing how the words are spun.....

and now it's done!

roses are red..
Posted: 11/4/2009 415 AM


roses are red
or pink, yellow and gold
like the buds on each stem
our life does unfold

petal by petal
we open our soul
living here and now
is a challenging goal

as the flower opens wide
our scent soars and glides
on the wings of dear cupid
that cherub in the sky

and when the rose wilts
its stem losing strength
we pull our energy in
knowing it's nearly the end

a life opened room by room
death on the horizon
we cherish every bloom
for each bud fed with love will blossom

"...in all of circling life."....

in awe of circling life
fire colours deepening
soon will need sweeping
weeping trees
losing leaves
releasing autumn finery

~ ~ ~ ~

recently quite often
deer have come near
tasting early morning morsels
while today a fox trotted past...

I called to my son
take a look out his window
just as the fox stopped
to stalk perhaps a rabbit...

like a cat, she waited
stepping very slowly
and silently....

time stopped

when the tension rose
with the infinite pause,
she pounced playfully
at nothing

then continued her journey
trotting into the woods.....

my son called out
how cool that was to watch....
smiling lovingly to myself
he enjoyed it as much as me


reflection of past year into the future...

LAST LINE REPEATED STANZAS using 8 lines
Posted: 10/29/2009 7:04:47 AM


I wonder if it ever feels regret
saying things for its own benefit
anger overflowing to its next victim
and everyone knew then she was a dragon
how could this be when she appeared so lovingly
when sweetness flowed like maple syrup
did someone send her round the bend?
did she just end another courtship?

................
Posted: 10/29/2009 922 PM

believe it or not, without you I found peace
no more confusion and sounds of a geese
no more ironing your shirts not to crease
no more of your cooking so full of grease
finally the stress in my life will really cease
while the calm that's here is on the increase
but with all that is gone that fills me with joy
there were some things I loved 'bout that boy

................

in each moment there is relief
relaxing all that's hidden beneath
allowing unfolding to begin again
for life is a circle...no beginning or end
despite our creation of what we call time
each moment walks a very fine line
stepping through the web of all
we hold each other as we fall

i know that you're guilty and don't care how you plead
so let's sit down here on the ground
and share a pipe of your very best weed
letting go of all that grew from that mysterious seed
following the path that got us here now...indeed
life is layered with a multi-coloured veil
one side will enhance the view while another will impale
but what comes through is love will always try and prevail

.............
Posted: 10/30/2009 815 AM

i quit that so you gotta keep sweeping
while my tea in hot water is still steeping
those times in my life are slowly seeping
into the past where memories are fleeting
'cept my dearest ex at parties down on all fours
crawling through rooms lost in his dark corridor
caught in a vision within his own drunken prison
my heart would bleed for the love he could not receive

history shows the hypocrits of pursed breed
sadly in power when many were thieves
too often coming from a place of greed
selling out...especially our trees.....

thirty years ago the news was lined
with dangers chopping down our forests of rain
so what happened in the meantime?
nothing changed and no one refrained....

.................
Posted: 10/31/2009 735 AM

I know together
we can see it through
if greed we surrender
and return to honour
our beautiful earth mother
for she is straining under our weight
freedom to change might be too late
please help me stop our destructive state

holding no unknown fear

am I just a blind man talking
perhaps a sighted man stalking
looking for bites upon the string
hoping a fish or two take my baiting
or at least find somebody real friendly
who'd like to take a walk this sunday
and talk of things truly extraordinary
or maybe think my jokes are funny

it's strange how you act when you're on cocaine
everything's altered, but really the same
course your body is speeding and so is your brain
addicted to pleasing is the name of the game

running around like mice in a cage
somedays you feel wired and strangely afraid
you know it's no good but you want one more line
finally it releases you...the best detachment of all time

together we could light up the darkest sky
like the full moon glowing so bright tonight
even behind clouds its light prevails
as if floating behind a thousand veils
imagine us flying on her lunar sails
or we could be equally swimming in sea
so free to be whatever we wish
imagine us underwater now we are fish

and fortunately, not really gestated,
but the hyena's appetite was not saturated....
eyeing the elephant, falcon and kangaroo

before she lost her grip with their friendship

of course seeing it is always by choice

or be determined never to love any other again

light piercing the shadows....rejoice!
can happen even with a silent voice
quietly sitting or walking or being
breathe and listen to your heart beating

heavy with energy ready to be unfurled
like a fern in a wood spiralled up tight
it's time to unwind and let in the light....

time to let go of the pain and sorrow
to start a new intention for tomorrow
time to take care with all that we be
and see we're aligned with a higher reality....

left in you there's a fight
so i'm not sticking around tonight
to once again feel that intense fright
to see that flash of anger in your eyes
no more will your wrath be my surprise
for you have dishonoured me completely
using me and my body abusively and repeatedly
for your sadistic pleasure beyond all measure....

was it real or was it memorex?
was it a dream you used me for sex?
have i woken to a new reality?
or is this just an unclaimed memory?

life has a way
of turning things grey
lost in thought and disarray
you knew i would leave one day
for you taught me to listen to my body
you taught me to know when i'd have to go
you taught me to stand up for what i believe
you taught me to try and help those not free
to try and help those still caught in slavery...

with their life energy receding
so many memories receiving
glimpses of joy within the suffering
flashes of light bringing insight

voicelessness of a soul void of compassion
will never be one that sparks my attraction
if getting together with one so lacking love
risks the day I'm left lying in my own blood
when the voiceless soul turns extreme cold
and there on the ground, dead I'd be found
at the hands of one who's mind's not sound
and so I stay alert to the energy around me
making sure I'm not in danger of a stranger
lulling me with their most charming ways
while all along so cold is their gaze.....

until then the kettle's on so don't be long!
got some thoughts for our collaborative song
bring your guitar while on flute i'll jam along
and the lines we can write together...

we both been through some stuff to share
knowing deep down our hearts do care
'bout things like saving our dear earth's air
so we all can breath a little easier....

our lives don't match in obvious ways
but we all live under the same sun's gaze
alright she burns even through the haze....
our song can tell the story of our days

Posted: 11/19/2009 656 AM

'let me in' they begin with good intention, you guess,
but two months later they don't impress
having torn your heart and most sexy dress...

sure there's still some physical attraction
but outside of that there's no interaction
when you'd really hoped for a love connection...

so next time you think you'll wait
you'll not let them in, but hesitate,
to see if they initiate love or irritate...

you now know to see if they care genuinely
before you let them in your panty
or heart or mind or soul or body....

but in the moment of passion
when you feel such a strong attraction
it's hard to stop the natural action...

so you let go wanting compassion
you let go knowing you're incompatible...
you give in and let them in....again...

in the narcissistic world of just being
the illusion of time is so fleeting
while the ego keeps getting a beating
as if it's the source of unhappiness
as if it's a really the devil's curse
as if it's from this our behavior is worse...

and yet could it really be so divided are we?
for if we're truly divine and in unity
then that means all parts of us are one, you see...
so even the parts that are full of subjectivity
must really be seen with sensitivity
for to discount any part of us as unreal
seems wrong to me just because conveniently
it's hard to be with what we feel....

soul floating, never see a sign of a frown

almost a ghost more colourful than most
could be a mirage floating magically

like a living veil she would swirl
whether very old or as a young girl
watching her spirit unfurl....

we have no bullets we can share
we have no joy in fighting there
it takes more than one to make a war
so what is all this fighting for??!!

we believe we are the owners of democracy
thinking we are helping another country
or trying to help the people become free
when we seem to be fighting just for the publicity

of course that can't really be
but no one supports this war publicly
so why are we doing this to such a degree
to continue this outrageous killing spree?

a generation
who doesn't go out to play
but stays in their rooms
on a constant computer game relay

sure they're talking with their friends
while bullets from virtual guns they send
all playing pretty continuously
learning to shoot quite skillfully

so when and if a draft comes to be
our young men and women now living free
will be able to join and know how to harm
as they're already trained, you see....

step up, risk, take a chance, the safety of life can be unlearned....
might mean you lose your balance you think you've earned
but sometimes falling can be freeing and not just alarming
for it's all how you land that can be the most harming.....

you say the safety of life can be unlearned....
perhaps safety is really an illusion
like a spider's web catching flies through confusion
or is it an invisible thread where security's fed....

you feel how very real is the feeling that flows
as our energy mingles from our fingers to toes
like the flight of an eagle on a high mountaintop
it swoops and it soars and sometimes might stop
to watch over all with vision of amazing precision
for the guardian of the sky is the soul of this land
her sight brings us light as we walk hand-in-hand
all together eyes rise when a hawk's in the skies

enjoying every minute I'm allowed to be me
feeling this moment perhaps I am free
not wanting anything, not feeling lonely
nothing really wrong, nor extraordinary....

and yet, here I am writing quite freely
managing to live in a very greedy country
it may not be easy but mostly I'm happy
taking this journey pretty gratefully....

I'm so tired of this climb which is forever uphill
feel my back is aching and it's taking lots of skill
to keep my body upright when it wants to just lie down
and let the sun and moonlight release my inner frown....

but in this moment it's this hill which seems to last forever
occasionally stopping in my tracks to watch a fawn and mother
or pass a fellow walker when we share this route together
seems to help me on my path when he feels like a true brother....

the cards dealt by life's ripple tides
rising and falling like ferris wheel rides
feel the wind in my sails on the rise
with panoramic views that mesmerize
then down again we fall as no surprise
when the earth gets closer I focus my eyes
and can see in the water those ripple tides
the cycle of life's hello's and goodbye's

with calms that follow fierce storms most drastic
when the electricity seems to make me act spastic
wind and rain begin blowing at strong gale force
when i'm just trying to stay on course

but the universe seems to have another plan
throwing me from the water into the frying pan
cooking me thoroughly with a burn now and then
just to teach me a lesson in moderation

it will be a home not just for show
to share a love beyond what we know
raising the roof to see the stars glow
we swim in our lagoon here below

walking together in bad weather
coming home to light a cozy fire
heating our hands with warm apple cider
heating our hearts as the flames soar higher

how was i to know where my crazy life would go?
how was i to see where it would take me?
going back to when i was three
hardly rocking on my daddy's knee
more like hiding from him belting me
taught me to be somebody who was angry
someone who spoke out too strongly until finally
many years later forgiveness set me free

................

will I smother into oblivion
becoming an angel among a million
like grains of sand upon the shore
being cleansed and rocked by the water....

millions of angels like grains of sand
sparkling in the sunlight when viewed just right
where people walk hand in hand or sit upon the land
pondering life's motion watching the ocean.....

caressing soul in a purple haze
holding us while we're lost in this maze
magical moments come many days
but then there's a sudden sad feeling
a deeper grief that starts revealing
extra sensitivity crossed with getting angry
over so much injustice found in society
feeling the depth of our inhumanity

I'll ask that woman on the stool to dance
'cuz for all I know, it may be my last chance
to get down and dirty letting the beat take me
besides my friends said they're gonna make me....

dancing free to let go my troubles
while one sorry soul's still ordering doubles
here we go when the music takes hold
another night as the rhythm unfolds....

no targets won
no will to be done
no shooting that fvcking gun!
why do you want it all to end
can you not try and truly refrain
from killing your soul again and again?
seems some of us who's laid to rest
feel we've somehow failed the test.....

don't expect me to buy coffee next time!!
now artful dodging could be a long lost crime
but revived tonight by that son of mine!
upon the stage he was right at home
that look in his eye showed an actor he was born
clearly i can't help but see him quite proudly
guess it's my right being his mommy....
really it's no mystery....for twenty seven years we've shared quite a history

day or night....i am literally yours
running through mirrored corridors
finding you there in a bed with a whore
so what do you need me for?

if it's love you're after
you're knocking at the wrong door
cuz this girl knows for sure
we can't all play that game of always wanting more

hidden from sleeping eyes without doubt
all was quiet until she just had to shout
"get off of me...you're f..king creepy!"

oh my...don't know what got into me
feel like I need to offer an apology
to be so angry when we're just writing poetry

sometimes censorship is not on my mind
when I'm carried away with the rhythm and rhyme...

drawn with a black crayon
i added a mustache to his face
then drew two enormous circles
round his eyes to his disgrace
i continued to his legs and arm
so skinny he filled with alarm
so i took pity and decided to erase

liberty carrying a torch for an ovation
sadly many died living in anticipation
hoping here they'd find true liberation
but came to see this country can be so greedy....

living only for the now is causing mass destruction
after all aren't we known for our excessive materialism?
yes, she stands beautifully offering light to those who've lost sight
but our statue of liberty is really symbolically hiding our poverty....

destruction and death without grace
most times can't see the face
of all those suffering in that place
being tortured beyond all reason...

for with all the love we try to share
sometimes hearts close when no one's there
then the mind's distortions might appear
in cruelty of such immense proportion...

offer them some sugar
then do take that bite
for we've got this super drug
not only takes away your appetite
but completely wipes out all your fright
so you can be free to live supernaturally
and totally embrace every fantasy
'cuz none of it's reality

for everyone to sit and listen
curled up by the fire asleep like a kitten
or a whole litter suckling their mother
pushing and shoving one another....

it's just my feet wouldn't last
if we choose to cross country ski
but in the snow peaked mountains
the views would captivate me....

fallen in memories like drops of dew
there in the moment when they're brand new
then as they melt into the past
the memory alters and does not last
affected by our joys and pain
never to return the same again
like autumn leaves' changing colour show
then nourish the earth beneath the snow

for that sin committed on that day
seems to be viewed in a miraculous way
now i don't know too much purely religiously
but with all i've come to study through my life story
it seems to be made up of the ordinary and extraordinary
helping me to see we all need to forgive everybody
for right and wrong is relative in a troubled mind
or seen through the eyes and ears of the deaf and blind....

this last line was not to say the deaf and blind have a different view of right and wrong or have troubled minds...
moreso it was a twist with deaf eyes and blind ears....and how when one sense is reduced, the others increase in sensitivity...
and of course, as practically always, i was stuck in the rhyme :)

this stupid mouse
is teasing my cats
running silently through my house
it's really very fast
of course my cats are just pretending
not to catch him right away
to them he's a mere living toy
adding some fun to their day

let nature be
let it blend country with city
so there is not such a boundary

so maybe you can see a tree
in the middle of so much industry

let nature be
we really don't own what seems free
for nature is not enslaved to humanity
