| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/13/2007 11:03:44 PM | And here, I get to play with the light and shadows, which are nothing short of inspirational.

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/13/2007 11:15:19 PM | Thy quintessence
To breathe n thy light Is a soothing calm To this storm n my mental Gethsemane The place of my spirit skull
For herein I Have read too deep into An allusion that Has incarnated my ancient bruise
But I shall flee From his moonish whims Thinking of thee Sinking into those illumined eyes Which rescue me from this Dropping sea | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/14/2007 11:26:57 AM | | Carl Spackler: License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote. | |

The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff. | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/14/2007 11:28:50 AM | | So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice. | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/15/2007 9:37:15 PM | The light shines into this empty room Glistening the air of this gentle tomb Sparkles of dust suspended in time The quiet of this room superbly sublime
The light dances in your graceful eyes Covering the moment creating disguise Bringing your fears into the darkened night Traveling faster than the speed of light
You’re left paralyzed, eyes heavy as rock Left in your mind for you to unlock Your future spinning out of control Burning in time deep into your soul
Longing to end the animation’s suspend You wish for the wind to come and defend The sparkles of dust suspended in space Locked in this tomb holding their grace
But the light shines into this empty room Glistening the air of this quiet tomb The sparkles of dust still suspended in time The quiet of this room superbly sublime

Triplebp: that’s a unique poem! Truly it is! I enjoyed the read! | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/15/2007 10:26:02 PM | Waiting on Jesus
Poverty was normal to us Youngsters, Having too much fun to suffer hunger, The meals forever came just n time.
Us young color’d kids believ’d n Jesus, Told that he was soon to come get us, He was to rescue us from the slums.
During intermission we ran The fields, Dirty little color’d kids pick’n plums From the wild growth, We never new that them seeds were Plant’d deliberately, Never new that some seeds blossom Only to cause grief.
But our Jesus knew grief, and also know’n grief, We were sure to meet Jesus, But the years chang’d And we soon begin to plant seeds too.
We knew hell! Now we needed to know heaven! Then we learn’d that heaven was Only for the contrite n heart, So ever since that chapel tale, We been real miserable, Purposefully miserable, Waiting on Jesus. | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/16/2007 1:41:44 PM | N.W. that poem was surely very deepfelt in the heart! You show great hope within!
Extraction from the morals of stories living as one with little glory Indecisive in my explanation finding much stress , to find definition Glad that I only know what I know in my heart Keep that inside.....me.....never to part! Lastly always hope undivided finding atlast........where my heart has been guided! | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/17/2007 8:02:22 PM | Jules, very touching words, I thank you, for both the inspiration, and the poem.
Shadowriter, you are the energy. It can only get better. "Everything is good." | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/17/2007 8:17:59 PM | I grab the wind by its neck Heartless to its pain. I ingest the entire sky, Wide-eyed and vengeful Trying desperately to digest The empty space. Then I feel the sun Reminding me that the Moon wants out of my soul…
Is this the spirit’s wish! For I’m a length Without the width of Capacity, An open book Full of blank pages, A God that has done Wrong, A flicker in a flame That has long ago Burned dry, I’m the return of the enigmatic word;
Now remind me that Words don’t cry, As I ponder in what’s left of My mind! | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/18/2007 8:12:57 AM | Death’s Night-Light
Suddenly deep within the meadows of a cave-lit night Provoked by psychic-energy the soul awakens waftured to see Beyond the depths of the catacombs glistens a flicker of death’s light
Forced to approach was me to see this unearthly sight Right there in the grips of tares and weeds I asleep there Suddenly deep within the meadows of a cave-lit night
Awakened a second time in supernal flight Only to grapple with the fraught of revelation that permanently I see Beyond the depths of the catacombs glistens a flicker of death’s light
Haunted, sorely plagued by this manifested black-lit plight Lazarus appears in shudders and fears with a mirror that we wend through Suddenly deep within the meadows of a cave-lit night
We find fugacious is flesh prior to the engulf of esoteric dight Now otherworld adorned Lazarus vanishes as I mourn that Beyond the depths of the catacombs glistens a flicker of death’s light
That we all must embrace, for never shall we escape this most dreadful fright Which lurks in destiny’s path notwithstanding the contrite heart, we shall see Suddenly deep within the meadows of a cave-lit night Beyond the depths of the catacombs glistens a flicker of death’s light | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/18/2007 10:59:47 AM | Tragic lifes with out a care Finding no soul lives within What and when do we find when lost? Life is harder.......we pay the cost Doubt is something many live I try to keep above it...and love I give! Many stay the same.... and wander....hurt is plenty..... life is a sore that grows bigger every day they live Finally perish within the infection........ doubt is the partner.....hurt the intention.... If the sun and moon should doubt...... They'd immediatly go out!

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/18/2007 2:19:39 PM | Broken Seal!
Yes, how absurd it is, I, subpoenaed to this crucible, this otiose hell Forced to witness the knavish nature of a breathing and “Gadarene swine” curse Thus feinting gnathonic I dance amongst gorillas suffocating in broken shells
Yes, I, muricated, pierced by the broken glass, wailing in tacit moans the “tall tale” That mirrors I beneath the broken matrix, stillborn, but mother’s too poor to afford a hearse Yes, how absurd it is, I, subpoenaed to this crucible, this otiose hell
How easy it would have been to remain hostage in the depths of purgatory, heavenly celled Stone flaming cold, chapfallen blain, eternally garroted patiently waiting to avail the dearth Thus feinting gnathonic I dance amongst gorillas suffocating in broken shells
Reincarnated, drifting through this aqueduct of disdain, lofty lies and promises failed And the many high tones and looks where therein lurks a tenebrous fear of dwindling worth Yes, how absurd it is, I, subpoenaed to this crucible, this otiose hell
Flogged and soulfelt desensitized, laughing aside the gnomes trekking towards travail Quixotic to a fault, believing that the hopes of Logos will break the maze and bleed birth Thus feinting gnathonic I dance amongst gorillas suffocating in broken shells
Reminded of the “tall tale” daily, resisting the mercurial tide, argus-eyed without bail Walking “the underwater hills” barely reaching the “euphotic zones” only to see lightless dirt Yes, how absurd it is, I, subpoenaed to this crucible, this otiose hell Thus feinting gnathonic I dance amongst gorillas suffocating in broken shells | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/18/2007 5:47:17 PM | Time unfolds back onto itself With every crease a new simple complexity Back into the comfort of memories lovers I hover, in some sort of space between The flash of eternity Images keep flashing like fireflies in july But the desert stands out static and bold The nopales, magueille and the low lying moon Pulsating with the rise of the earth inching closer towards the sky Did I take a wrong turn? | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/18/2007 6:05:03 PM | Mind is cappuccino cocoa thick swirly like water but unable to see through sweet slick smooth made of beans huh? no, strike that
Mind is Mountain Dew bristling with energy rising bubbles that pops to nothingness on the surface but only worth the effort if caffeinated
Mind is matter mind does matter sometimes and other times we mind matter but not the mind that matters I mutter and banter as my syllables scatter this mind

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/18/2007 8:17:49 PM | ring hard the silent bell of of aborition found as walks the night in twisted silver garm the watchers of of lifes trials give praise and adoration in sinful glee to the keeper of dreams in minds fragility hold dear the moments on laughter fall as dies the flower on the vine strangled life in vexed creation entropy as butterflies die in the flames of passing time and doves drown in a blackened see pass harsh this night of dismal edge cut sharp into the flesh of daytime peace now bleeding with the sun as setting skies are ablaze with bloodwashed hues fall fast now and feel thy damnation

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/18/2007 8:37:15 PM | My intelligence suffers drought Parched, parchment Dry with the dust of age And forgetfulness.
Plato’s papers were like that With bits of olive and red wine stuck to the scribbled words. Took four of us days to re-write and make it legible. He didn’t have time for that. Streamed faster than the speed of starlight. I miss that. Where you struggle to catch up Long enough to seek it.
Why have so many of them gone bad Chose the rage against the passion. Compassion A lost art. Where is the love?
They never meant well when they set out against new lands. Not for new lands, against them. They always came to take. First rape, then take. And boys, you got it up the ass too. Don’t pretend that’s not part of your legacy. Probably every one of those brutes had been ripped from their Mammas and raped. How else do you destroy the soul enough to command it to kill? Columbus? He was fucking insane. Syphilis we thought, and stayed clear of him.
Some poets mind speak And some through body Nipple to nipple Ripples of awareness reminding each other.
Did you know that there was a really neat group of forward thinkers who used to meet back in the last century. Yeats was one of them. He writes about what they were working with. Had a great medium named Mina who was so connected to the stars. Her brother was a top scientist at the time. Brilliant family. Then Alistair Crawley got in there, just like Lucifer among the Arch Angels. And here we are. Golden Dawn ya right.
I saw the news today oh boy……. | |

| Abstract Rhythms Posted: 5/18/2007 9:01:30 PM | It’s like a mass explosion set off in here. These words are moving, grooving me into that zone, that meditative zone.
Jules, you are a moving star. I thank you for posting here. You always calm me down. I hope that you know this!
Jesyka…Saltytowers said it best, it’s truly a great poem. It’s always a pleasure to read your poems.
Shadowriter, I’m always forced to think, and cipher my way through. You have tremendous talent.
Ravincause, I truly believe that I understood this poem. It’s amazing how we continue to get raped on so many different levels. I write political poems from time to time; those are the one’s that truly mess with me inside. I often want to share them here, but I always decide against it. I’m already labeled that sad one, wouldn’t want to take it too much further than that. | |
