reflection of past year into the future...
Posted: 11/22/2009 10:41:13 AM
on the topic of seeing and being...


Vision and hope of the seers
Full of prayer, anguish, tears
The dust shaken from her dream
Awaken to a day supreme
Of the earth to be revealed
Days and secrets and hearts concealed
From beneath the dark and silent loam
In darkness dreaming of a way back home
Past death and life and poems too
As earthen as both dust and dew
To wake in me and to declare
Through moving lips a silent prayer
In my curved hands I try to cup
The settled dust I do lift up
She, the mother of all thought
Neath the shining heavens where life is wrought
Where lips laugh and free souls rove
With face and body and memory’s trove
Mere dust no more, its nothing less
Than the gift of consciousness
As sure as terror, death and pain
Love and passion shall come again
As all that’s borne must die, so all
Dust shall live, its natural
And yet I barely understand
What I am holding in my hand
This fragile dust of hope I keep
In my heart as I fall asleep

she already knows where your mind has been
for she knows all men are men
with wisdom, she knows where your thoughts move
and of the rythm you wish to groove
for she expects that your like the rest
transfixed upon her heaving breasts

being amused by live cartoons
that surround my life each day
for what appears as tattered ruins
is a chance to dance the fray

for time spent lost to worry
is time not spent in laughter
step back and see the irony
while here and not here-after

the moon howls as the wolves slide by
as my caution fades into the nocturn
not stupid enough to sit and ask what, why
as the world around me burned

effifgies dead, crisp on the stake
blood drinking chalice seekers willing to take
the life of a communist who didnt wake
dead as the sky, who learned?

sorry 60to70, good verse.

a damp shady place is no place to play
but i aint a player and i aint gonna say
why i do what i do and dont just obey
is the nature of that whats me

worlds crashing down i will walk away
the roads now a movie to my dismay
at the end of the day i will be
no need for no special decree

sorry J. its all happening too fast.

sorryy axe. sorry. it wasnt sitting right so i changed it.

anyway.....

baked clay is the pigment of a Navajo July
as i stand in the desert waving goodbye'
it will never pay to go and ask why
i am best off just heading the other direction

(where i wanna go will get me banned)

thoughts undigested all out of tune
ideals diisected at some point round noon
pray that relief may find us quite soon
just a sundial from a long lost erection

in the high mountain desert
where there aint nuthin but sand
i question my ethics
and the things i demand
but i am just walkin'
this earth alone
whats done is dead
despite the groan
a good worlds inside us
that dont leave us alone
looked up and i did cuss
as i pick up the phone

like the white spots showing on a throw of black dice
like surviving the shit that ran out and did twice
like a cat stuck in thought in a world of blind mice
the cow, he aint jumping the moon.

the bills have been paid as darkness falls
as masses lose themselves in that which enthralls
im good with myself and can mute the calls
I know that we'll meet quite soon

finally to set oneself free of self
so that one can stop being an elf
if you feel you cant, then sit on a shelf
take one to the temple for the team
creeks unto rivers and river to the sea
heading on downstream till i know i;ll be free
in need of a nap im sure you agree
before i burn out swimming up stream

hope to see you at the dooor,
once you realize the score.
begging for forgiveness is a big bore
i tell ya, it is over-rated

sin, i got no idea where your first lines from
yet it bleeds with resonance like a drum
at times Im quiet, that dont make me dumb
i respect things that were desecrated

a canoe without a paddle floating down the river
without a liver, righteousless
carefully dodging self enlightenment
from a desire to avoid re-runs
taking care yet avoiding
the addiction of self help
in a narcissistic world of just being

(if i helped myself, it was, by definition, not help)

heat of the heartlands. oops! another rock, turn again
to page one and raise your hand if you own not
having a clue about the contents of others'
minds appearing to have plans but no cajones
are large enough to have claimed they could
do whats been done, hindsight being
20/20 vision in the rear view helps but
a little moving forward blindly borders on epiphany

my name is Jam, Jam I am

I do not like that Jam I am
I think that he is on the lam
and what he sells is a scam
turns an ounce to a kilogram
Pushing meth and percadan (cant spell prescribed drugs, i guess)

would you like it in the arm
would you like it without harm
would you like it with a gram
want to see my cardiogram?

I dont wanna see your cardiogram
I do not want it with a gram
i will not do it even with no harm
and sure dont want one in the arm
give me peace please, Jam I Am
i do not want meth and percadan

(couldnt resist either. And if i keep going, its going to start to get real redundant, so i will quit while i am ahead)

taking the world by storm
keeping our children from harm
theres nuthin that i wouldnt give
for another chance just to live
but you get what you get and go on
if your lucky you can make it a song
if you cant and you fall on hard luck
and decide that you dont give a f-ck
just remember to not give up hope
for theres always a path you can cope
my style is old that i know
and have heard what is so is just so
but i know that down deep in my heart
theres a path where im not so apart
the breathing i hear slows me down
which dont mean you are do a crown
for I pick myself up by the straps
there are people who care. least perhaps
if theres one thing I do while I be
is teach my child just to be
so that she can grip on the rope
while the rest hang their and just cope
for theres nuthing that will keep us down
so i dare you to buy a round
or i could take my thoughts straight to bed
where theyll ramble round in my head
where i wonder what did go wrong
I can sit and wait, but for how long
I know what I blead has been said
and know that my heros are dead
and i know that i am quite alright
having survived the crime and the blight
someday theres a place we belong
we can sit down and write us a song

to feel needed again

peace 'n love were promoted not bad weather
nor could i predict i'd be hell bent for leather
i'm old and i'm cold now and in need of a sweater
and the way the clock's moving, it aint getting better

i never expected to get quite this old
but the mind is still sharp and heart is still gold
now i can sit back and wait for whats unfurled
(and) do my little part for our great, screwed up world

her goods were not the tariff
my soul was not the prize
but that was before the first sniff
when we bade our last goodbyes

she had a sexy midriff
her navel turned me on
tatooed with a hieroglyph
drawn with a black crayon...

for every subject
a matter of opinion
for every object
another lost minion
the jar full of olives
sits waiting for gin
the vermouth
ran away with the spoon

for every goal
a hidden objective
each class in statistics
a ceramic elective
my red shoes Im hiding
from the watching detective
with no coothe
the shoot out's at noon

forgot to capture greyscale hues
that flicker and fade at the moment
anticipation required to interpret the clues
the extended silent lost lament

exactly the time i head for the amp
slide the keys right in the ignition
equipped with hippy helmet and my lava lamp
i dont quite get the position

stay very still....life refuses to ignore stillness.
no matter how far off the grid i get
but i cant be still , probably never will
im born to bring hope to the illness (not really, probably)

i believe theres a path if we stare into space
i believe that my sins are strength not digrace
i know what im saying, u can spray me with mace
i can handle whats coming, can you handle the chillness?

sorry. hard rhyme.

you will never know if his thoughts are clear
for no one found mine till i called for bail
the next they knew i was off to jail

why freak out mom she is close to god
though i did kill my father with a passing nod
to be viscious on the streets of new york
still aint no reason to pop the cork

my head is aching and ive had no fun
the day it over, the race is run
ive long lost track who is the one

i possess no faith and do what i may
but the lack of feeling we must disway

the gods are dead and thats ok.....

the stories i deduce make me laugh in the cold
for who gives a crap about alternate worlds
its all i can do to live in this one


the night is rythym, your soul is your own
what i lived through makes me laugh at the cold
so lets kick on back and smoke that last bone

To the brushstrokes of heavenly tumbles
to the beauty marks of long lost rumbles
for things re-emerge from that which crumbles
there is time to strengthen the foundation

from lost days, dark and demeaning
to years uncontrollable, speeding, careening
in moments of grace, it takes will for meaning
to realize a new day's sensation

i miss her so much, she was my childhood friend
Some one to love & cherish right to the end
A name etched on a stone in silence
As I pass wondering the shortness of life
at our brief visit here
rubbing my fingers
on the cool creviced letters
reading the braille
discovering the seeming destruction
a narrative of love
as i go on climbing mountains drained
grayer, older, weaker
Reading, smelling, hearing
the darkness of black depths
lightening slowly into sunrise
above the stone
with a different view
becoming an old man that lives

as i froze in the face of the letch mosin'
i got a grip on my wax and know where i dip my bows in
i aint gonna fade out before sunrise

we can debate and exchange rhymes

of burning houses and squeezing limes

but when we plug in, the souls will rock

too often stabbing joy as a party pooping ploy
pull down your pants to prove your a boy
for words coming down we're about to deploy
to spread freedom in the streets of afganistan

spreading the freedom that the bird is the word

while the cows sit a-gazing, chewing their curd

hypocracy is our favorite sensation
catholisism. favorite creation
burned what i lost this zoo station
Maggies farms but a lost transfer station


recycling or call it the sell it twice blues
my recall is shortened and so is mu fuse
next thing i am selling is pay what you throw
what could be more capitalist then to pay as you go

she does nothing but swallow her pride
i was but nothing when i thought that i died
i can dance with the best when i know that i lied
i can get quite pig headed when i got the feeling

to give up in my sleep and just call up
aint gonna happen nor will i take the cup
point fingers at will at what will corrupt
there is life that i hope for beyond the ceiling

Whether random, alien or a God send
Whatever will be will be

To swoop down and set me free
Though I suppose its up to interpretation
whats your epistemology
I am blinded by darkness and bright light
its the subtle hues I see
