your STORY
buried,
under the debris
of the self righteous delusion of dharmic illusion.

 

 

your MAGIC
hidden,
away
behind the
cashmere curtains
of holy tricksters:
self-proclaimed sages.

 

your LIGHT,
dimmed,
by a fear to BE
greater.

 
your VOICE,
muted
by parroted aphorisms.

 

 

 

YOU,
wonderful YOU,
just a wisp
of the
Beauty  contained within.

you need not be limited.
and diminished
by their stolen jargon.

 

you CAN let go these borrowed
pretensions,

and

Love

you,

and the

dance and play within the flame;

Burn this mutha’ down,

and then,
let’s fly
as we wild things do.

I did before
i sought out the tears of manhood.

make me giggle
like it was my first time.

the choice
is mine,
whether or not mojo
is always on
the rise

up
with me
and we will fly,

 

for a time.

desire,
i run
faster than you can feel.

deeper than you can know.

love,
bigger than you can imagine.

so,
can you really

know where i am going?
if i don’t?

appreciate this lovin’
if it comes with a twist?

surrender everything
and enter the divine?

maybe I’ll get
you a pair
of go-fasters,
so you can do you,
and let me
be free.

or maybe,
I’ll just keep on running,
until i fly
again.

calling faintly
from the ether,
her enticingly familiar
figure
beckons
and
instills
fear.

the brink of consummation
is the precipice from which we
tumble,
together at first
and then,
rudely,
roughly,
rapidly,
we fall away from
ourselves
and the each other
into shells of distraction and,

her taming trinkets
twist-up and
tie me in knots.

 
memories
of misspent lust
peppered with moments of tenderness
blur my vision,
tighten my breath, and
prune my wings.

 

 

But

rising again,

is a reckoning and,

a return to power.

 

Indeed,

a return,

to

me.
