LIFE’S PUZZLE

I chanced upon an exquisite puzzle one day
It was tiny in size and easy to touch
I did not want to figure it out
but just to hold…
I turned it this way, that way
— any way it would move!
And at times interlocking pieces
would come and go
Eventually I closed my eyes
and relied on touch and faith
and found it much easier to navigate
Life is such, that way.

CREATURES

WE all fall
as light
and rise
as creatures
of blood
and flesh

A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE

ON the ‘other-side’
they’re all asking:
“Is there death
after life?”

::<>::


SO THIS IS THE VOID CALLED LIFE?

AS a heartbeat

I heard a voice
and the voice had a sound ;     like
a song of something:       words?
And the words were entwined
in a sticky glue some     may say
are feelings and the   fire-tips
of those dancing flames had
a weight called         emotion
and the      emotion         was like
gravity next to a black hole
and the black hole was inside
a cave of bone called Mind!

OH ROYAL BLUE!

oh Royal Blue   above
all of us, loved
oh golden soil  below
that souls kiss
and all of all of you
so preciously a gift
that souls should know!
I sing with silent voice
and feel with shout!
And dance the birth
of life in every moment
this life should give
to me;  today tomorrow
yesterday and after
;thoughts of you
my Royal Blue  above
my golden soil below
the world is a meal!
the soul a hungry mouth!
the heart a dish to hold
this thing we call life!

A DEAD SEED IN THE SOIL

THE first heart to be loved by its most bitterest
friends has died broken and destitute;  a worn
flag flown across all this ruinous Nation
of an Anti-amorous planet and dirty children
throw their mud-crusted hands into the air
and weep for their heroes and whores and addicts
say, ‘Tis the last day of Earth’ \\ Let the shadows
swallow the deepest throats of Hollywood
Let the tendrils of Unforgiven
snake through Wall Street
and Squeeze the puss from
the Wallets of Hungry Warlords
but save the Unicorns and
the Tender Butterfly-Lips
of all the World’s children!

SYMPHONY NO 7, 2ND MOVEMENT (Herr Beethoven)

BE still bea-
ting aching
d
y
i
ngLY
wishing dream(ing)
h e A R T
when nowhere lines
the treeline of
life and com-
passion!  Be well
beating fists
upon my mind!
over Ocean’s voice
through seagull’s throat
that mortal path
beneath restless
d r e a m  s
TO WISH is butterfly
wings!  To awaken:
rebirth of Life!

TWO FINGERS ARE GOOD (but three stretches it)

Today I threw up breakfast and my platypus licked it
a regurgitation of  heartfelt platitudes on the floor!
Today I kissed the toe of a gnarly God who likes
to burn ants with stolen lens
somewhere within my     swamp-born brain
I have almost a clear thought;  like the chimps behind the
clear-glassed walls that angels see through
and I’m ashamed — a diaper upon my head
a shit stain on my heart like all the horrors
on two legs begging more

I, THE MIGHTY CLOUD

Lithely wandered my Soul
a flight untethered by
flesh and fear
wandered I!  Not lonely
but within a cloud
whose grand shadow
covered Mountains!
When Bespectacled —
my eyes!  By hosts
, those golden fields;
daffodils between my
locked beating heart!
All thoughts be
fluttering-twisting
in the breeze!

LOVE: A TENDER TEAR

Simply __ and my HeArt bleeds:
Dearest lost love the purple color
is now my Soul.
A heavy weight I gladly own
all to have known what I should
never have had.
I stuff clovers of four leafs
within my Heart for the Luck to
again meet you — maybe another
life!
