luring me back
safely
to a kingdom of childhood wonder,
these sparks,
of divine possibility,
lead me
recklessly
into a future
drowning in alchemy,
faith, and
dirty down home blues.

whispering bliss
tantalizingly
safe
in this faint
elusive wisp
of
Here &
Now,
like
the scent of
Jasmine,
dancing ecstatic,
'cross summer fields
full of fireflies
and
other forgotten dreams.
wild things, sons of apollo
all twisted up, and down in shadow and ash, we find you. so low, on your belly you roll, begging forgiveness of your soul, for the missed opportunities and self-deceit, for the fear that ruled you, and for so much more. but only silence. and shadow respond. silence, and shadow. . and you retreat into the empty corners within, exploring the void, mourning what never could never have been. rise up, Brother, you are not alone. do you hear the rumbling of the drums, beating deep inside your chest? mama calling. the drums pound, flowing lost rhythms straight through your bones. papa calling. the drums sound, rattling the fear out from your bones. destiny calling. and when the dark moon rises, Our soul fire lights the cold winter night, with a fury long lost, but ne'er forgotten. ne'er forgotten. so come, and let us scald sun and sky with wicked pursuits and love eternal.
Awakening
so called clarity
begets this
mindless wandering.
I yearn again for
the simple dreamtruth
and
fantastical wisdom
found in that wild place within,
where cruel innocence
and
devout desire
writhe together as one,
intertwined;
ecstatic.
sinking once more
into this fog of knowing,
i drown my soul
deep into primal memories
of a union more true
than purest oblivion.
finally,
I am free.
waves
gently scalded
by
a star’s loving mercy,
i slip again,
down
into the shadows
where (my) truth blossoms
furtive,
and safe
from expectations and love.
yearning for absolution,
yet fearing
dissolution into a greater part
of me.
so i scale these peaks of despair
and slide into the valleys, grounded in solitude,
all the while,
avoiding the stagnant tranquility of constancy.
Jupiter Descendant
soaring
on the wings of yesterday,
tomorrow sails dangerously close.
and here,
today…..
right very now,
I languor in the eternalness of this fleeting moment,
allowing myself to drown
in the pleasure of not knowing.
free to fall
deep
with nothing
to seek,
with nothing
to want,
with nothing
but me,
and the whirling cosmos within.
ready, to spin.
ready to weave.
ready to cleave to Destiny
But tell me,
are you ready,
for me?
nothing to jump
burnt bridges
&
busted brooms
swept under
to fill the void,
along with the broken dreams
we never lost.
flights of fancy
dashed
mercifully
upon the truths of the past.
presents earned;
presence lost, only the
illusion remains
untouched.
clearing the ashes
by hand.
and so once again
we begin.
Soul Made
moonwalking into spring
i slip
back into winter’s cruel grasp.
cold solitude leaves me rooted
in a rootlessness that knows no end, and
tethered to a yearning
that has no name.
LP No. 05_2021_One
without pause or
doubt,
or fear of what may,
i pull
inexorably
to you.
the threads
of my life,
between nimble fingers,
tangled and knotted-
but we,
so far from besotted.
no way but up,
to fall into open arms.
no way but down,
to where we belong.
no way,
but the way
we forgot.
one path
to
a Love
destined.
one fall
to an
Oblivion
guaranteed.
one soul,
afire with hope &
purpose &
love.
shush
whisper once
and hear
this soul echo
and ache.
whisper twice
and see
love cry.
whisper again
and feel
infinity slip
into a memory
