Buried Alive

The light wraps you up tight
in a fiery glow,
Lost in thought, standing there,
Against the backdrop of twilight’s glow,
Spinning around you a flair.

For days without sun

Can’t find the words, my friend,
Alone in this dead-of-night scene,
Filled with burning thoughts that never end,
Inheritor of a day that’s been.

Buried six feet deep

A branch drops fruit, kissed by sun’s ray,
On your dark clothes it softly lands,
From deep within, darkness finds its way,
Emerging from where your soul expands.

You weep for breath

And the hidden parts of you, they arise,
A new crowd born from within,
Feeding on the sorrow, under azure skies,
A world full of life, yet tinged with chagrin.

Remembering sunlight smiles

Oh, you’re grand and fertile, bound by fate’s decree,
To the circle that swings ‘twixt black and gold,
Rise up, take charge, create what’s to be,
A world so vibrant, but destined to grow old.

Fingers raw scratching the lid

In its vibrance, there’s a touch of sadness,
Yet it pulses with the beat of life,
To be enslaved by such a madness,
Is to dance on the edge of joy and strife.

Then we die.

Beautiful is Love’s Voice!

We waltz with despair, slumber with fear,
Our weary frames burdened, hearts encased
in shards of glass, struggling to prevent
their fracturing,

Failing to halt their crumbling,
As sorrow mounts into towering peaks,
Too steep for our souls to ascend.
Our minds, laden with fretful thoughts,
Bound to a sinking stone,
Entombed beneath the weight of snowy crests.

“As love blossoms into gardens of delight,
Inviting our souls to dance upon its petals.
Our minds, uplifted by the melody of passion,
Bound to the eternal flame,
Ignited beneath the canopy of starlit skies!”

History Within A Simple Poem

Black A, white E, red I, green U,
blue O – whoa, vowels divine,
I’ll unravel your silent screams,
oh cosmic sign.

A, inked in darkness, swarmed
by psychedelic flies,
Tripping and buzzing through
twisted truths’ lies;

Pits of abyss; E, truth in sandy swirls,
Towering ice shards, monarchs of pearl’s pearls,
I, spit crimson, laughter erupting in wild hues,
In delirious denial, or rage’s kaleidoscopic views;

U, celestial dance of emerald seas,
Peace in pastures, where neon creatures tease,
Inscribed on foreheads, by hallucinations grand;

O, the supreme Trumpet, blasting cosmic beats,
Silences in angelic echoes and astral feats:
O… Omega… the psychedelic light that greets!

THE VOICES OF LONG DEAD WISE MEN

WHEN in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary
for one people to dissolve the political bands which have
connected them with another, and to assume among the powers
of the earth, the separate and equal station to which
the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes which impel
them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all
men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable. Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive
of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments
long established should not be changed for light
and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind
are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than
to right themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they are accustomed. But when a long
train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce
them under absolute Despotism, it is their right,
it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of
these Colonies; and such is now the necessity
which constrains them to alter their former
Systems of Government. The history of the
present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute
Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let
Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most
wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of
immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should
be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless
those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature,
a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at
places unusual, uncomfortable, and distance

Mistral Blows Pain Away

Upon the stagnant sea, I stood sentinel,
My vessel inert, awaiting destiny’s nudge.

Atop that mirror of heaven, I reclined,
Restless, a sailor longing.

I shut my lids, invoking
Incantations for the gentle breath

That animates the briny deep,
To swell my sails.

Whispers in the waves obscure the glass,
Awakening me, like a lover’s murmur.

It enveloped me, whispering sweetly,
Roll over, roll over, roll over.

And in my ear, it murmured its name,
A strange melody, yet clear as day:

Mistral, mistral wind.

Though I’ve long gripped the helm, I surrender
To the wind’s pilfering of my dominion,

Spinning me, losing my bearing,
Nights fleeting like fleeting thoughts.

Yet it guides me,
To towering summits,

Too grand to be real.
Mistral, mistral wind.

Each hour spent in vigil,
I await that breeze to stir me,

And transport me back to that realm,
Magic coursing through my veins.

And I sigh your name,
Across the boundless expanse.

You’ve turned me into a mad dreamer,
Mistral, mistral, mistral, mistral,
Mistral, mistral.

The Eternal Embrace — Reflections on Love and Devotion

In the realm of affection and the present instant lies his essence,
for he has flung wide the doors to the wintry froth and the summertime
clamor—he who distilled purity into water and sustenance—who embodies
the elusive charm of departing places and the transcendent ecstasy
of abiding locales. He is the embodiment of affection and futurity,
the vigor and devotion that we, standing tall amidst fury and ennui,
perceive traversing the heavens of tempests and the banners of rapture.

He is love! A flawless and redefined standard, a miraculous, unforeseen
rationale, and eternity: a mechanism cherished for its fateful attributes.
We have all tasted the terror of his concession and ours: reveling in our
well-being, empowered by our faculties, selfishly affectionate and passionate
for him,—he who adores us because his existence is boundless…

And we reminisce of him as he embarks anew…And if Adoration stirs, resonates,
his Vow resonates: “Down with these superstitions, these other entities,
these unions and epochs. This is the era that has passed into oblivion!”

He shall not depart, nor descend again from some celestial realm, nor assuage
the wrath of women, the mirth of men, or absolve all transgressions: for it
is concluded now, since he exists and since he is adored.

His breath, his countenance, his swift movements; the awe-inspiring rapidity of
form and action when they attain perfection.

The fecundity of thought and the expanse of the world!

His corporeal form! the longed-for liberation, the fusion of grace with newfound intensity!

All that he beholds! all the ancient supplications and penalties annulled as he passes by.

His era! the annulment of all clamorous and restless suffering within a more profound harmony.

His stride! migrations more profound than ancient invasions.

O He and I! a pride more magnanimous than forsaken benevolence.

O world!—and the crystalline song of fresh sorrows!

He comprehended us all and loved us, may we, on this wintry eve, from coast to coast,
from the raucous pole to the citadel, from the multitude to the shore, from one vision to another,
our strength and sentiments weary, salute him and witness him and bid him farewell,
and beneath the waves and atop snow-laden deserts, follow his gaze,—his breath—his form,—his era.

L’étreinte éternelle – Réflexions sur l’amour et la dévotion

Dans le domaine de l’affection et de l’instant présent réside son essence,
car il a ouvert grandes les portes à l’écume hivernale et à l’été
clameur – celui qui a distillé la pureté en eau et en nourriture – qui incarne
le charme insaisissable des lieux de départ et l’extase transcendante
de lieux fidèles. Il est l’incarnation de l’affection et de l’avenir,
la vigueur et le dévouement que nous, debout au milieu de la fureur et de l’ennui,
apercevez traverser les cieux des tempêtes et les bannières du ravissement.

Il est amour ! Un standard sans faille et redéfini, un miracle, un imprévu
rationalité et éternité : un mécanisme apprécié pour ses attributs fatidiques.
Nous avons tous goûté à la terreur de sa concession et de la nôtre : nous délecter de notre
bien-être, renforcé par nos facultés, égoïstement affectueux et passionné
pour lui, lui qui nous adore parce que son existence est sans limites…

Et nous nous souvenons de lui alors qu’il embarque à nouveau… Et si l’Adoration remue, résonne,
son Vœu résonne : « A bas ces superstitions, ces autres entités,
ces unions et ces époques. C’est l’époque qui est tombée dans l’oubli ! »

Il ne partira pas, ni ne redescendra d’un royaume céleste, ni n’apaisera
la colère des femmes, la gaieté des hommes, ou absoudre toutes les transgressions : car cela
est conclu maintenant, puisqu’il existe et qu’il est adoré.

Son souffle, son visage, ses mouvements rapides ; la rapidité impressionnante de
forme et action lorsqu’ils atteignent la perfection.

La fécondité de la pensée et l’étendue du monde !

Sa forme corporelle ! la libération tant désirée, la fusion de la grâce avec une intensité retrouvée !

Tout ce qu’il voit ! toutes les anciennes supplications et pénalités annulées à son passage.

Son époque ! l’annulation de toute souffrance bruyante et agitée dans une harmonie plus profonde.

Sa foulée ! des migrations plus profondes que les invasions anciennes.

Ô lui et moi ! un orgueil plus magnanime qu’une bienveillance abandonnée.

Ô monde ! — et le chant cristallin des nouvelles douleurs !

Il nous a tous compris et nous a aimés, puissions-nous, en cette veille d’hiver, d’un océan à l’autre,
du poteau bruyant à la citadelle, de la multitude au rivage, d’une vision à l’autre,
nos forces et nos sentiments sont fatigués, saluez-le, soyez témoin de lui et dites-lui adieu,
et sous les vagues et au sommet des déserts enneigés, suivez son regard, son souffle, sa forme, son époque.


Undying Souls

WHEN we are dying
we live each day
not knowing seconds
are eating us

WHEN we are laughing
our heart is rejoicing
forgetting horror

Believing youth
is a forever thing
only for fire to burn

We rejoice knowing
We remember time
and many forget

Some as me never
for i am not the dying
but the one recalling

Gathering the souls
of those who never knew
and have forgotten

We are undying Souls.


Lovely Animals

Whiskers twitching
soft paws padding
through moonlit night,
the cat prowls,
silent sentinel
of the shadowed garden.

Beneath the canopy
of emerald leaves,
a symphony of chirps
and rustling whispers
fills the air,
as creatures big and small
find solace
in the tranquil embrace
of the forest’s heart.

Butterflies dance
in a kaleidoscope of hues,
their delicate wings
brushing against
the fragrant blossoms
of wildflowers.

And high above,
against a canvas of sky,
majestic wings
spanning wide,
the eagle soars,
a regal master
of the boundless expanse
of heaven’s domain.

Oh, to be
amongst creatures
of this wondrous earth,
to share in their secrets
and stories untold,
to revel
in the beauty
of their untamed souls!

Only For Once

Once you see the ocean, there’s no other body of water that can compare
Once you see the clouds of mount Wu, no other clouds can compare
Once you feel the soft caress of a gentle breeze,
No other wind can bring such ease.
Once you taste the sweetness of ripe sun-kissed fruit,
No other flavors can ever measure.

Once you hear the symphony of nature’s song,
No other melody can right the wrong.

Once you touch the petals of a blooming flower,
No other texture can hold such power.

Once you witness the dance of fireflies at night,
No other sight can capture such delight.

Once you embrace the warmth of a loved one’s embrace,
No other love can fill that space.

For in the beauty of each unique affair,
We find the essence of what makes life rare.
