Waiting on a Dream

The universe as a mirror
Thoughts displayed
In time are delivered
And not betrayed

Glassy stare, blinking eye
Laws of eternity
Come to pass
And cannot lie

Kept promises near
On a fake horizon
Shrouded by the will
Of impatient striving

This look
Cannot be returned
A loving glance
Shunned and burned

In the every day
Exists this wink
A ray of sun
The heaven's blink

Looking deep within
Hypnotic ruse
Tary again 'til it comes
This mystic muse

Mending

Sorry does not
Make it manageable
Dancing light
On dark matter's candle

Flying away ceases to
Lessen the bitter
Rainbow body's glow
Lightning's fatal flicker

Water and air
And all that is pure
Flows in and through
The sweet burning cure

Unsaid

What you didn't say
Meant a lot to me
Bringin' me back
To being ok

Lest I fall asleep
Dream the dreamer's dream
Playing make beleive
Nothin's as it seems

I want what you have
Suits you so well
The journey's the part
to be and dwell

Meet you there soon
If you should be first
So our spirits can again
Sway, dance and swoon

Clean Conscience

Vacuming rugs
Snap attachments
Vacume the ceilings
And dead bugs

Patterns in the floor
Like fresh mowed lawn
Powders and foam
With nature's odor

The stairs laid to rest
With a swipe of the wand
Fibers dancing like coral
To the roar of the beast

All matter falls into sync
Cornish hen in the oven
Blue Moon on the 8-track
Watch TV not to think

Wayward Skiff

Poetry patterns and prayers
Patter of pen in spirit and stares
Grateful habits blessings divine
Matters of passion absorbed and opine

Let it be, words and wisdom
A gap, a sea tranquil and deep
But pages stay dry
Under guls drifting high

Can't succumb to the pressure of peers
Reality deaf to their naked ears
As they move and bob in sleep
Jolt awake, devoted to seek

In time the waves make shore
Washing over sand and sores
The message enfogged in rhythm
Revealed in chimes unwritten

The Sun Obscured

They love Jesus
But despise the others
Ego vomit
Spewed out on our brothers

The sun obscured
It's always there
Despite smog and smug
Man-made affairs

We are complete and un-wrong
Get high, fill the void
It's a popular song
That yields a life devoid

Perception is real
But a piece of work still
For the eyes of energy
To rejoice and be in

As well as I
Creature miracle
To dance and employ
All faculties enjoy

For spectators rush
Get a boost from the true
Bare witness to touch
My lips on you

Like waves on the coast
Birth breeze and mist
My heart's misty rainbow
Came alive when we kissed

The Golden Frogs

What's wrong
That hasn't been done
By busy
Business boys?

What's the consequence
That is witnessed
Or lived
In a quick lifetime

A puma's step
On a leaf or twig
Like a solo chinaman
Performing tai chi

Searching for solace
In a partner that hides
Secretly quit
Or not living the script

Narrating a life
Standing firm in a storm
Lightness of being
Above the norm

Perish the thoughts
Perplex thing
Open wide
Dare to sing

I Don't Want What You're Having

I don't want your peace
Cops in the streets
Tazers and rotors
Profiling gun toters

I don't want your city
Towering sky shredders
Sound proof cubes
Glowing monitor's pity

I don't want your eden
Bloodied dove
Drenching the desert
No power of love

I don't want your care
Animal trials, toxic viles
Tumors manufactured
Pills and hopes fractured

I don't want your town
Square feet bleeding
Bulldozed trees
Smug, spoiled frown

Landscaped life
Carved out of nature
What's yours I don't want
Not God's nomenclature

City Shaman

My spirit animal
Ate the tarot cards
Manifested by abundance
Channeled out of existence

Angels flapped their wings
As only a breeze
Funneled through high
City streets

To my people
That I ignored
Averting my eyes
Faked being bored

I took advantage
Hit your clubs
Drank your booze
Lost some loves

These are some words
We've never spoken
A sixth sensory being
alight and awoken

Droning Drivel

The rich are boring
One thing in mind
Their welfare
Not those behind

Such strong convictions
Their money's lobby
Grounded constrictions
Wreckless folly

High rate loathing
Clear cut zoning
Visiting their slums
To stir some excitement

Inject their death
With numbing entitlement
Box seats bereft
Sendentary bereavement

Sweating beds watered
Slow and sure
Servants quartered
The revolt is pure

Out to ski
Clique destinations
Vacuous ennui
Tongues of all nations

Unconscious all times
Wherever they jet
Running from pain
Addict regret

Fighter Ship

Shooting scud
Bloody tide
Murky ripples
Patriot pride

Anthrax rations
Corporate passions
Red shot eyes
Targets clashes

Sickly grey
West point china
Periscope view
Off-shore messiah

Sin of Spirit

Trapped in a space station
Dizzy defenestration
Weightless unbound
Sterile compound

Type-A cosmonaut
Bags of flesh
Mutant soldiers
Floating Ganesh

From the depths of ocean
Life lives well
A chain interrupted
Pioneers expelled

Into thin air
Hubris encased
Human kind desert
Their own embrace

Well Lit Space

I write in faith
Expecting a flash
Of some kind to enter
Through space with a crash

An inkling, a vibe
The drama unbolted
Jotted down dreams
Reality revolted

In hope of the gift
A jolt or ah ha!
Channelled from light
A touch from afar

Boy

U2 seemed old
Even back when
I listened to albums
In a Danish stranger's room

Are we simply observers
Here to spectate
Gesticulate on a tune
From start to end?

Like the boy and his red balloon
Chased by ego and form
While trying to live
Above and beyond the norm

Apathetic

My thoughts don't matter
Let 'em scatter - shattered
Drivel and droll
Crass and old

Heard it before
Same script
Different bore
But still wanting - wanting more

I hear of values, principles and ethics
Recoil from these concepts
Growled out by rejects
Thou shalt not, right to life

Bearing arms
Vote and tote
A little learning
Amends for harms

It's all beginning
A start at change
To feel the feelings
Pain receding

A bird's darting
In time with time
Float and sing
Ruler of no thing

The Song of Dude

Dude, what up with that?
Huh? What's your damage?
'Cause I'm not into
Whatever it is you're on about

Dude, fuhgeddaboudit!
Fuck off man
Who axed you anyway?
You're totally harshin' my mellow

Dude, who's bettah than you?
You dude!
Duuude, no way dude
Way

Word
'Sup yo?
Donno dude, you?
Nada mucho - peace out dude

Soul Shine

I can see your soul
Through you
Pain thoughts
And strains

Make out your shape
Spirit agape
Heart strings taught
I feel your not

Music on hold
Dying sublime
Dancing with ego
One day at a time

Healing compulsion
Exit from celibate
Old act addict
Sex & love magic

American Toy

Dirty cousin
Don't wanna be that boy
American trash
Grow up beau toy

You wastin' away
While the world lives
Fuckin' around
No time to play

In the red zone
Clubin' like a reptile
Crushin' the world
Like you dumb and vile

Endearing though yo tricks
Got so many hang ups
You twitch with ticks
You sad American boy

Bliss Bliss

The fear and desire resolve
Being and bliss evolve
Sitting, walking one hundred percent
A quality, a love, quickly spent

Breath brings with it a peace
A smile to share and bequeath.
Unhinged the flow
Playing the show

My Man

I don't wanna be
A good man
Tarry 'til you come
Patient and hum drum

After shave mornings
Off my mooring
Ignored out loud
My music kowtow

Churning out dimes
For those I love
Having a ball
Fake have-it-all

No suit and tie
Lost lived mistake
Purpose negated
An ending belated

Missed Demeanor

Sexual misconduct
The product prophylaxis
Battle star galactic
My tactic

Product of positions
Preignition method
Grapple, snap and sample
The space is ample

Single, sensual, free
What's to you is to me
Festival fantasies
Bondage chained antipathy

Reins whipped
Cowed, buckled, bowed
Shit-clown lurking
Bundled furrowed brow

Nothing Mind

There's nothing wrong
With my mind
Unwinding in time
Its chatter unending

Make it stop
Who's voice is that?
If I freeze to listen
The tone is flat

Put me in now
It's not up to me
Between each breath
The presence can't flee

A practice too true
A second so fine
The clock's toll Aching
Etched in time

Aches & Pains

I experience pain
My intestines move and yearn
What happens within?
It's not my turn

I wait in line
Eager and spent
Crane my neck
Try to repent

My feet shuffle forward
Why must I wait?
If I were a bird
I'd release this state

I give it a try
I drop my head
The rags slide down
As if I were dead

But there's no where to go
I suddenly see
What I waited for
Is only to be

I turn and walk
One step at a time
The voices they sing
Like wind in a chime

Manifesting Abundance

Abundance has left
Gone astray and drifting
Then look again
At the gifted riches

Grace delivered
From a plane or dimension
Arriving energy
Akin to ascension

Where does it lead?
And why does it happen?
Unfit feelings trapped
Flesh and skin wrapped

If this is the secret
Teaching of eons
Then what do I build
To sail these seas on?

My will or yours?
Perhaps the sixth sense
Intuitive candor
Divine recompense

Dreaming the Dreamer

Alcohol, king of dreams
And nighttime nightmares
Pretender magic
Foggy tragic

Fake bravado
Slurring girls
In the grotto
Venom whirls

Pumpkin flesh
Make up mesh
Drinks go down
Emotions drown

Smokes lit
And lit again
Moths quiver
Burning brave

A hellish death
But for the fall
Alcohol beat down
Free will and all

To your knees
The command obeyed
From cab to curb
Nothing staid

Knocked out flat
Real world view
Appearances deceive
Liberate on cue

Steady Stream

The sun shines constant
At nights down under
A star's flicker unsettling
Splits my thoughts asunder

A quiet breath
Rippling space
Matter shudders
Trembling the surface

Sexual spasm
One couldn't fathom
Phantom feelings
Open and seething

A long shot love
Lurching to exist
In flight like a dove
A moment missed

Experience sold
Liberated sigh
For a sharp lie told
Vicarious good bye

Infused with Love

If all is infused my love
Then a love is conveyed
If all is love
Then the love is staid

A word is just a pointer
Love, God and all the rest
It's a poor translation
That fails the test

Listen to your aura hum
Tune in and be still
High energy on the run
Free of free will

Surrender and one shall see
The definition of freedom
Allowing the light
Willing to be

Still empty advice
Until it's done
Will it then suffice
Few thoughts and more fun

Rise & Shine

Sun scars if it should
Rays are delt
And heat the wood
Warm fuzzy hot felt

Sudden tremors thud
And ground implosion
Thousand year flood
Vast oceans frozen

It's what they say
But got a while yet
No need to pray
Or shiver and fret

Nothing's certain
Though it sounds trite
Got faith
In some invisible might

Right now, this moment
All is firm
This power sits and waits
Every second deliberates

How much?

How much is more?
Compulsive revulsion
Sticker shock
Flat broke bore

Papers and news
Sacrificial wine
Filling the hole
Eaten by time

Panes of glass
Block what matters
Significant others
All that's vast

When the goods are dropped
Surrendered in fright
Left with no thing
Rendered pure flight

Loving You, Loving Me

It's bizarre, surreal
My ego, my mind
Reeling me in
To ideas it finds

The story it pedals
I buy hook n'line
Too willing each time
Unconscious, unsettled

Until I fall out drunk
Future-tripped up
In my head, in the zone
Like a bad hood I shouldn't visit alone.

Am I a drone like so many I see?
Their 9-to-5 won't let them be
I couldn't be that, though it's true
I'm human and act on cue

But for rigorous work
Breaths that intrude
I glimpse reality
Like a sexy muse

It strips my thoughts
The past and the plans
Like a godess touch
Light it lands

Planted firmly
It seems to say:
Just be here now
Be present and play

All is well in this
Finite space
Narrow and infinite
Nothing to chase

I love you
Loving me
Here for you always
Being what you see.

Relations

Relations get closer
To seek and enjoy
The warmth of the journey
To bask and employ

The power in all
Expressed in a call
To praise
And of pain

The strength that is
True and tame
Bring it further
Absent a name

Its space to bathe
For love and peace
That wants you too
To work and appease

A love devine

The sweet
My open handed love
Works miracles without me
Divinity

Talk and feel
Silence cut through
Beyond a smile
Servile

Although appearing separate
We're very much whole
Pieces of the magic
That zooms through the soul

Entwined and separate
Very much alive
My love is complete
For nothing more I strive

The Details

The details
The breath
The sounds
Bequeth

Alkaline thought
Form filled
Energy caught
In song

A harp
Picked sharp
Essence of grace
Present to face

Let it be
Let it be
Surrender
And be free

Leap of Faith

I gave you my card
Before you leapt
Not wanting more!
From high up on the
Fifth floor.

We spoke few words
Every now and then
I called you "min ven"
But it went unheard.

You sat and wrote
Early Tuesday
Your fourth step brooding
Your last note.

You're not the first
But it still matters
The time you put in
With us on earth.

Now

"The future never comes
Except as the present moment"

If I was to puke on the page
Be a pretender sage
Poseur supreme, reigning queen -
What then? Would you think?
Thoughts in your plastic mind.

I don't care for your world at play
I'll detach from impulse
Emotion, feeling, whatever you say...
Leave it be, leave nothing left,
But these ego shells
Feelings bereft.

Big Ocean

Playing in the kiddie pool
Warm and wet
Bet I can still drown

You better, you better, you bet
Can't do laps or a flip turn
Buying time, my eyes burn

Take a deep breath, give it space
These surface ripples
Tickle my face

It's power almighty
Deep, dark ocean
A fragment of spiritual motion

Waves crash out into the universe
And recede, breathing in
The eternal, divine verse

Isolation

I don't wanna be alone,
But want to be left alone
He heard it said to himself

Separate from the world
Its energy and divine power
A fading ember shot from a fire

Casting light descending
Through a life wraped
In an atmosphere of isolation

Bull Market

Buy, sell, hedge, dwell
Capitalist cowboys
Balls heave and swell

Blood doped arteries
Pump Manhattan's pleasantries
Crisis, depression, mild recession

We'll get out, but not for them
Spin doctors' narcosis
Foul weather socialists

Some Good Smokes

There are some good smokes
Once in a while
In the chain of smoking
Through a cloudy smile

Everything I've hated
I became
But the things I hate
Don't stay the same

Is it rich in spirit
To want some more -
To try someone
And not acquit?

If the choice is to masturbate
To a higher power
Better yet to meditate
On an enlightened flower

Nice is Nice

Nice is the sunniest place
For the shadiest people he said
As the clouds rolled past the bus
Cliffs to Bono and Brad

Sometimes the screwin' you get
Ain't worth the screwin' you get
Spoken through a sigh
In a moment he wasn't high

To be calm is the highest
Achievement of the self
A fortune on Yogi Tea
A spiritual plea

Abundance is present
In every second
Space between the gap
Serendipidous mishap

In Shanna's Shoes

Shanna's shoes
Racked like a rainbow
Rockin' dogs
Her smile a show.

Grey sparkle -
Ox blood
Creciendo laugh
Musical flood.

Hidden beauty
Complex sole
Absorbed inner chi
Dispells woe.

Shanna and her shoes
Trudging the path
So few have taken
She's done the math.

Protect the child
That hits the floor
Love what is ahead
By loving what's come before!

Land Mass

Primordial ooze
Hot and gooey
Porous organic
Evolved from this non-eden
But more a miracle than
Human's feined love
Buddha a rock
And all humans too
Jesus and Tao
Elements all true
Great it is
This billions of years
A testament to power
Not psalms and saints
Catchy tales
Abridged poison taints

Divided

Now or later? Time will tell
It's a matter of love
Not anger, just chill
Your side of the street, not mine
Do your thing, good and fine
I'll grin and ignore
Good or sad
The ripple's abrupt end
The buck stops here
Not drama or dreams
Repel useless fear
A cough a flinch
A feud of energy unsettled
It's your shit, not mine
I choose to ignore - move on - be well
You choose otherwise
Can't judge, can't tell
Either way, I'm here, you're there
Two separate entitites
The same and apart
It's a practice, a process
Training and time
Keep up the breath
A circle a chime
It sounds in my root
Up through the spine
I'll share my wealth
But what's yours is yours
What's mine is mine
All is good - I won't sell
Your poker faced smashed
By your stressful tell
I don't mind
Let it be
The field itslef
Endless energy

Cool & cold

Hot and cold
Riding through mist and fog
Traffic pushin' back and front
Bikers fall back left and right
Red lights to yellow
Pigeon hole looks
Headlights bellow
Heated core
Coast and mellow
Catch the breeze
A shark on land
Fishin' for prey
Sharp look, quick turn
Thrusting through air
Over earth

Time Squares

Folks laid off
Tossed a bone and paid off
Fuck the shame and guilt
Electric quilt
In a tub of pity

Lonely city persons
Roaches, rats, feral cats
Buildings grow with mold
Stares and steel stabbed structures
Monolithic ruptures

Highway veins shot with strains
Of sweet sugar trips
Plunger needles
Enticing gothic drip


Morphiends

Double pain window's reflection
Glistening waves water's complexion
The smell of jasmine
Lithium breeze
Atop Mount Tam, Stinson Beach
Winding paths redwood peat
Energy flow - spirit gold
Mountain lion's pelt
Eucalyptus cover
The dark misty soul
Omniscient lover
