Prophet


Prophet

within the cataclysmic void
the abyss where the ”pressions” dwell
the Prophets of expression
speak to the known entities
we ignore

impressions

the time approaches
where the gate of reconciliation
must be passed through
“what’s in your wallet”

no One Capital
will allow you to pierce
that Needle’s Eye
that Aye
guarded by Camels

will your soul be able
to thread it
when the bugle sounds ?

tread lightly they say
for all will be dark again
to those who have not realigned

we cosign to things
they say are inalienable.
my “i” smiles speaking silence
behind the mask of presence
lest we be discovered
that we are akin

Wikepedia declared the story to be fictional
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataclysm
either Batman or his Creator lied
or deliberately cast us upon
the wilderness
that we may find our way

yet, batman
or that man
or you man
Hued Man
have, has, had
a specified journey
did we even connect

i detect something in the air
it has been looming
for the entire Piscean age
and a part of the Arian
as well
and there is no time
to be shaking and fearing in
these rundown domiciles and huts
we at times can see
as Castles and Temples

the chattel is but that

the names spoken
the words evoked
in “Speak Of” . . .
Sapiential
or the lyrics of Sirach
do they even begin to equate
the wait of our Soul’s longings
can we conjure this ?

can our vessel hold
the New Wine made from Old Grapes ?
would another intangibility
such as a parable
hold you in a stillness
for but a while ?

or shall we be as Jacob
and continue the prevailing
wrestling match
facing the image
found in reflections
of our being-ness
that of God

a Blasphemous thing
in the finite mind’s eye of men
but in the Soul, it is reconciliation
a finding of One-Self
claimed to be Egoic
in Nature . . . that of men’s
definitions

in the tiring
of the calloused soles
that have endured and trod
from Eden
to the Babbling whispering tales
of Lore and Dreams
of Scheherazade
we still meander
through the mist
aimlessly amiss
that we may label the way
a quest
or a test
yet detesting that we have
voluntary
acquiesced

a mild soul shaking
spirit waking
is coming
as the Oceans
that house all consciousness
begins to consume it’s self

it does this
with the aid of the Sun’s light
leaving the Algae,
our breath
to but dry up
fly up
and grasp the winds of transformation
it has been said

and all this was Prophesied
and it will inevitably come to pass
for all things
spoken
uttered
doth so
as do all seeds sown
yield some type of fruit
bitter or sweet
but never replete

and i point my finger
to the north of Heaven
hoping to see a vision
of the chamber of Souls
where they house
their dreams of peace
that i too may dream again
of such a thing

i hear the rushing waters
sssssshhhhhhhhhhh
they are being poured
from the “Bearers” Earthen Chalice
that the abundance of spiritual things
and movement
drown our aguish
in that Sea
of Forgetfullness

and you Prophet
i request your voice of reason
and presence

let me, we cross
pass through the gate
with unlatched empirical deductions
and seductions
but to become one

let us shine as the Sun
and the glow manifest
upon us
that we be transformed
into our illusion-less self
as are we
one

Prophet

and i Pray

and i pray

a brisk breeze comes
a cold front embraces life
accompanied by an unusual rain

the sky is half clear
and the other half
seriously overcast
even nature appears
to be confused

is this a sign
of a coming
age
where ice may recapture
the balance of mother

what are we to do ?
gather matches
and pray
that a wind not come
and extinguish our flame
the one we have left
unattended

yesterday
was balmy
i conjured visions
of sandy beaches
and pleasant escapes
from a looming reality
i smiled profusely
within that room
filled with funny shaped
and curved mirrors
serving my reflective delusions

i am now haunted
within a consciousness
that i would rather put aside
hide from
and to sum it all up
i write an open ended poem
and i pray

and limes in my drinks



and limes in my drinks



it was a hot balmy summer day

in July

we were at the beach

chasing a cool breeze

running in the sands of life

retarded

hoping for liberation

but only creating more friction

in the flow



damn it was hot



the children neverminded

our discomfort

and i wish we were able to as well



Lime Marguerites

and Lime in our Coronas

only served to exploit our weakness’

but no worry

a few more

and they would seemingly

disappear

until tomorrow



Sand was everywhere

a noble quest

was to count the grains

that we could somehow

possibly understand

the exponentialness

of creation

and God



let me see

where should i start



in the mean time

sweat was dripping everywhere

adding an ambience to the day

something to remember

or forget



this is the stuff memories are made of

the frolicking of peoples aspirations

to escape life and live

for a brief moment or two



quite a profound dichotomy and comment



and here i sit several years later

gathering

conjuring

visions of faded pictures

hung on the walls of dreams

where i am still that young man

and life and Monday is before me

for ever

as i am frozen here

dwelling

on a Hot July day

making mud cakes

with the Sand

sweat and perspiration

and limes in my drinks

Utopic Dreams
a Memorial Day Salute

when it comes to Memorial Day
you may say
that i am not appreciative
and i am not
and i have not forgot
those who have sacrificed
their lives
that we may
hold on
to the standards of out living
civility
humanity
insanity

i am one
who can never condone a war
of any type
when it comes
to the taking of life


you see
they are my Brothers
my Sisters
who died
on both sides

Mothers lamenting
the loss of their sons
the lands of the people
raped
because of greed
take heed my friend
for we need to amend
our ways
our thoughts

and i know
there is always that one
that shining Asshole
somewhere
who convinces the people
of their sovergnty
that this is a thing
we must do
i beg to differ

yes,
The Hitlers must be stopped
popped
cropped
as well as the Noriegas
the Idi, the Amins
the Bushes
who go unseen
because we are blinded
by a term
we have come to endear
called “Patriotism”

and what about all those would be Khans
who wave that magic wand
through the news
to alter the views
persuading the people
to forget their humanity
yes . . . dammit
insanity
that we would listen
don’t we know better by now ?

and you Sacred Text
is full of such accounts
of people
who kill in the name of . . .
defaming my spirituality
and i can only SMDH

and what about those
who toes
never touch the field of battle
they but dictate
how you should lose your life
and why
and i ask “Why”
as my soul cries these tears
with no resolution

and get a 3 legged pony
for that crippled spirit
Joseph Kony
tie him to it
and shit
along with his dark cross
of despair
for all the souls
who are deprived
the air of life

they do this
because they have an agenda
that is not to your best interest
did you hear what i said

THEY DON’T DO IT FOR YOU !!!!!
but you have been elected
selected
to die for them
AHEM

and History continually recycles it’s self
changing Uniforms and Names
and geographics
that we not clearly see
we do not have to die for them
for you
for me
we can choose to live
if we but stop the hate
and learn to love
self and others
for in the end scheme
just like Martin’s dream
we are all
Sisters and Brothers

and the Lenins
who be beginning
these surges
of frivolous mouth frothing madness
of people against people
perhaps i shall pray for them
perhaps not
but right now
all i can do is “Imagine”
isn’t that what Lennon said
but he is dead now
or is he ?

the Caesars
the pleasers
the Republicans
persuading the Publicans
from Christ to Rome
from Doctrine
to Dome
the Rote
the Rites
that usher forth Night
steal our Children’s Suns
and if you blink your eye
another War has begun
somewhere

so memorial day is here
and i pray i remember
the value of life
the smile of a Son
and it’s meaning to his Mother
that shall never see it again

may these words be my memorial
and thus become a reality
where our frailties
our propensity
to kill each other
my Sister my Brother
show up no more

Memorial Day . . . Remembering Eden

Utopic Dreams

Dedicated for my Children’s unknowing smiles
