FAR OUT

THE OTHER SIDE

It's time to face the other half

AUTUM LEAF

I have seen colours changing before my eyes

Saffron shades covering a leaf before it dies

Letting go of the attachment, time to be free

In the air for a while, before landing it may fly

The wind determines for how long and how far.

INTERFACE

The established order has been about survival

The prey would resist and the shark will insist

This has been recurring over and over again

We are at the threshold of a major change

An entire World could casually interface

What was obscured has risen to surface

Anyone can have presence in cyberspace

Beyond divisions of gender, religion, race

Beyond selling products or winning a game

The World Wide Web is an alternative space

Contriving possibility for an innovative change

Unconditional sharing is well worth considering

Freedom of expression is the outcome of caring

This would take some daring should we be willing 

Whatever might transpire, there could be no telling.

PRIMITIVE - MODERN

RAW NATURE

REFINED CIVILIZATION

Casual Primitive Means > Subtle Modern Ends

‘Automatism' is a prerequisite for the initial phase 

As the hands scribble without conscious direction

An ensuing phase naturally takes place in abacus

Subtly scrutinizing and refining the original images.

.

DREAMSCAPE

SUBORIGINAL DREAMSCAPES

I've been painting while dreaming

Once I am awake I'll start copying

To conceptualize what I have seen

Revisit the places where I've been.

INTUITION

The thing I trust beyond everything else is intuition

Although at times I’ve been led astray even by that

When I failed to make a distinction between feeling

What is intuition can be easily mislead with emotion

I persist to deduce truth by looking at every aspect

Adopting to a meaning that I could intuitively relate

Ultimately I am compelled by the vision that I create.

ATONEMENT

TIME DELAY REDEMPTION

Safe module in cyberspace

only a password can locate

a device which will contain

crucial information at hand

released gradually in hiatus

through time delay process

focused on selected target

deliver deplored restitution

secure grudging vindication.

YOUR CALL

SUBORIGINAL CHALLANGE  

ONE MORE CHANCE

Hands draw with no conscious direction

Eyes automatically scrutinize this action

As the image is conjured out of the blue

I’ll have zilch say of what comes through 

Digging out some meaning is up to you.

INSIDE OUT

SUBORIGINAL

Way inside I’ve found out I am far out

No doubt I couldn’t be unique without

Just a matter of turning life inside out

As the quickest way of getting around.

When I dive deep, I run out of breath

Suppose I don't intend to return back

I might go all the way to the very end

If I should surface from the other side

You'll know my intention is not to hide.

AT THE EDGE

Beneath still waters

There’s an undertow

The surface won't show

What deep waters know.

Dive into the abstruse

Approach it with muse

May the world below

Lead to worlds beyond.

COMPROMISE

We arrive to this life in a human body

straightaway we are given an identity

inbred in our mind is genetic memory

as we strive toward a need to be free

from the influences that cause duality.

Stretch like acrobats on the line of polarity

balance opposite forces to maintain sanity

swaying influences, provoking tendencies

a source of temptation, sensational vanity

the beginning set up for a planned finality.

Together we have to find the basis of trust

the core essence of this stems from a past

In the journey of survival it helps to be wise

this don't mean one shouldn’t compromise

for an undetermined future full of surprise.

.

HURRICANE

A mighty hurricane force out of the ordinary ordained

As populations are being grazed with peril from the sky

'But why?' is the question with the answer buried inside

It's getting apparent but not so transparent as we qualify

As deserving recipients of swirling vanguard from up high.

MACABRE SATIRE

The taxi driver stopped the taxi

jumped out, slammed the door

raving and yelling at the empty streets

complaining to the Goddess of the road

how he suspected this rat of a rider

of scattering unspoken tyranny.

The morning of the same night

all the creatures that shared 

freshly acquired deformities

gathered in the market place

they were honourable, dignified

determined to make a living

as they offered all sorts of flesh

freshly plucked from their bodies.

This was during the depression years

meat was scarce and flesh was hot

certain customers were panic stricken

at the sight of such generous offerings

some attempted to dip their bread 

into the sauce of the exposed scab

the feast was brief, the casualties low

no children were present 

apart from me and my sixteen brothers.

The taxi driver stopped the taxi

jumped out begging and whining

appealing to the Goddess of the road

to bestow some goodness to his load.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

When hands move without conscious direction

fingers holding a pen, scribbling on a paper surface

while the mind is occupied listening to the mass news

such is automatism at best, the source of this verse.
