POSITION & DISPOSITION

We were made to think, we were selected to reign

As superior species, ruling over all other creatures

Shame was spotted on us, it came with a dressing

Leaves become garments, hiding a shameful thing

Covering the naked truth, which was so disgusting

When fire was discovered, the wheel fell into place

Swords sharpened for the kill were gladiator’s thrill

As conquests were made, winners got highly paid.

While insects grew wings we were building machines

We were able to fly beyond the clouds deep into space

The capacity to destroy Earth is now within our means

Yet, so it seams, should we entertain negative feelings 

What will follow next, may have a double edged upshot 

We shall either change our ways, embrace our sources

Or we might use up & deplete all our natural resources

We might even ruminate unleashing abominable forces

Whether we shall flourish or vanish is a matter of choice

Do you wonder if who we trust is listening to out voice?.

ANGEL FIRE

I have witnessed mood swings 
from heaven to hell and back
ecstasy turn into pitch black
within the blink of the eye.
Hot temper is hard to take
rage can erode the vessel
less you harness the feeling
with gloom you’ll be dealing.
Making use of intense passion
an abundance of pure emotion
a keenly applied potent potion
might impact the entire ocean.
Once heated, temper ignites
ruminating emotional bites
could turn a wild mood swing
into a touchy sentiment thing.
An arrow aimed by the seraph
right at the centre of the heart
once stricken by the love of art
what’s scorned may turn to love.

FRIEND & FOE

True friends would even risk their lives for you
The dubious friend might take your living away
Ironically the good time friends are the bad ones
Amazingly the bad time friends are the good ones
You shouldn't require a bad time to make a friend
Yet fun friends fall flat when the going gets rough
Real friends are right there when luck gets tough.

MICHAEL PASSED AWAY

Michael Zildjan, good friend passed away

Still recuperating, it just happened today

Hard to take, such news, I heavily reject

Michael was a dear friend who deserved

One hundred golden years & much more

You are here as far as I am concerned, 

Last I saw you was half a century ago

Then I found you again on the internet

I am being told you passed away suddenly

Shocked as I am, I can also live with that

Since you’re not gone as far as I’m concerned

This must be really hard on family, condolences

For what’s worth Michael, if you would consent

May even be arranged, if we could swap places

with you my friend, I mean it, the World be my witness

I’ll be delighted, should God permit, are you listening

Lord, yes God, I’m talking to you, let’s make a deal

In good faith, could we work out a way to trade

My life for Michael’s just like that, before it’s too late

( I hear there is a 7 day grace period in metaphor )

Metamorphosis is the process I am anticipating

Should miracles be negotiated way ahead of time.

.

SPONTINUDITY

I'm daring to be myself so you can see me 
Mistaken identity is simply a slip of words
Slander will follow and before you know
You become what's indicated in theory
A shrinking atlas, shedding past glory
Now is available, in full transparency
You have to live with it, end of story.

COFFEE GRAIN READING

Fortunetelling & divination is an ambiguous terrain
a precise practice of attempting to foretell the future 
unraveling hidden knowledge by psychical methods 
in studying the Tarot, astrology, I Ching and beyond 
I am guilty of meddling into an unprecedented future
reading coffee grains has been my favourite vehicle
discovering a story related to the person in question
unfortunately too many charlatans dwell in this area
why pretend, when this is not too hard to understand
witnessing sense in the unknown can also be a gain
those who consider this to be nonsense can not see
yet this comes clear to me, so why bother to explain
sceptical spectators should refrain from this domain
having a mystic look into the future isn’t just a game.

DREAM PREDICTER

Breakthrough in conversing with animals
The language of ancient trees deciphered
Source of unlimited free energy disclosed
Nanotechnology integrated with 3D printing

Nuclear exchange averted, issue unresolved
Greek democracy is duly replaced by anarchy
Meteorite showers directed to specific targets

US $ money replaced as standard World currency
Emergence of alternatives to a fiat based economy
A Western Intifada spreads, empowering Individuals
USA & Mexico, woman presidents emerge in horizon
Contact is established between here and the hereafter
Time travel viable only as a non participating spectator
Specific historic occurrences seen as actual happening
A parallel universe gradually amalgamated in cyberspace
World map rapidly changing, Middle East is duly annexed
Chinese navy make assertive schemes in the Pacific ocean
The benefits of euthanasia promoted, ‘obitoriums’ are popular
Populations controlled by encouraging doctor assisted suicides
Androids & mutants make up most of the police - military forces
Levitation is made possible by sentient detachment from gravity
Alien intelligence is revealed as the underlying reason of science
Politics, religion & ethics coalescing as united authoritarian stance
All prisons converted to mental institutions, putting doctors in charge
Akashic records revealed and referred to as a clear basis to judgement
An anarchistic hierarchy in the works, where top and bottom taking turns
Everyone can choose to be man or woman, rich and poor, black and white
The chemical balance of the individual has been put under constant scrutiny.

SLIPPERY SLOPE

Just a matter of time, we should soon be history
The land of no return, there’ll be no getting back
Time is rolling like a ball, rushing down the slope
The further it goes, the faster fosters the thruster
It should help to have a little faith and a little hope
When we’re on top of time, the ride inclines faster
Such entanglements of time, one needs to master.

DUE RESPECT

It is delusive to command total respect

unreasonable to expect such an aspect

except when accepting the unacceptable

this paradox could also offer a prospect.

Could you respect humility, vanity, cruelty

can you respect insanity, not without pity.

Absolution of respect starts with yourself

clear acceptance of the darkest regions.

What can be more deserving of respect

than being true to yourself in all aspects

candidly able to share yourself intimately

absolutely no expectations from anybody.

Uncover what the surface can not show

understanding is a prerequisite to know

as one could grow flowing with the grain

rhyme and reason take care of the pain.

IN QUANTUM MAGNITUDE

  
A repose amongst fleeting visions
at an interval, a moment, an instance
in a flash it goes, as though it never was
yet something was captured, an impression
which alters perception's transcending capture
infinite possibilities are instigated at this pasture.

INSANELY INTIMATE

I am a little bit in love with death, to tell the truth
The entire concept, the idea of mortality is brilliant
I'm a patient sort, I’ve done my time, not far to go
Life isn’t half bad, although it could’ve been better
I would've also fancied wings, be able to elevate
I had it all, until I grabbed the dice and took a roll
Couldn't take it all, I took a dive rather than a fall.
I would love to embrace death as beloved friend 
I feel a quietus in my heart when I close my eyes
This incredible solitude as I single pointedly focus
With nothing in my mind, just a wholesome womb
Of departure, I should need no luggage thank you
Naked as I arrived, into the lap of mother nature
As naked I shall jump into the bosom of my lover
Until that moment comes,I should sing and dance  
Enjoy every moment of life and let go all at once
Making the best of it as long as there's a chance
In reverence, humility and a deep solitary stance
Let me open my heart, surrender all that's in me
To be, is prerequisite to not to be, the end is clear
Absolute nothingness will sooner or later be here
Until that very moment, there is reason to rejoice
Positive attitude is nothing but a matter of choice.

OBSERVANCE

Based on intuitive appraisal of auspice
as we meticulously observe the universe
while scrutinizing the necromantic effects 
of a vast cosmos playing like a puppeteer 
on the collective psyche of the inhabitants.

READINESS

A moment of repose amongst fleeting visions
Quantum possibilities are under strict scrutiny
Smothering of passage as pressures are lifted
Mind cleared of clutters, crystal spotless vision
Lucid memories dreamt unfolding transparency
Focus single pointedly at path of least resistance
Revealing reverence, humility, a wide open heart
Flowing with the grain, readily following the incline
Once such conditions are met we'll greet the divine.

GIVE & TAKE

Much was given as a token
then again fun was taken
at once it was forsaken
as the dice was shaken
a decision was maken.
A kiss was what it took
the sucker took the hook
as was written in the book
whether by hook or by crook.

LUCID DREAMER

Dare I ask 
a sleeping self 
who and what 
to dream about?. 
Dare I dream
wondering
all along
why whoever
is in there
won't stop
touching me
rubbing
against me
to suit them
submit to them
to serve them.
Why whoever
is in there
won't let me
be!.
I have
sacrificed
my earthly
possessions
for the gift
of the sight
of their charred
aftermath.
Layers and layers
of memory traces
in my faces
my visions
squandered
washed against
remote corners
of the mind
where
the faintest ideas
gather and season
longing
to be set free
from the grasp
of reason.
Dare I ask
this lucid dreamer
If he can spare
the will to change?
With this poem
I move
into a space
where
I can not be
touched,
At this instance
I can slip
into a sleep
from which
I may not rise.

PARADOX

A riddle was put in place in the eternal cycle of change
Between feeling and form there may be an interchange
The bound yearning for freedom, which isn’t as strange 
As freedom seeking to be housed within fostered range
A paradox in motion where the inverse is making sense.

ITEM

Infused into a future, stretching across eternity
From the here and now, an illusion with destiny
A beginning, an end, meanwhile given a choice
To be a number, name, having a proven identity
Or not to be anything like you’re supposed to be.

UNFOLDING

A point of view has wavering credibility

when one is approaching the hereafter,

an open mind, while yearning to dance

is coerced to take this cautious stance. 

As the inner and the outer converge

at the verge of a highly ripened age,

the butterfly that were a worm once

will have to take a equivocal chance.

Speculators are cautioned to consider 

the quantum manifests ever changing,

there can be no point in contemplating

while a first hand episode is occurring.

MINDLESS HEART

When you feel a person's heart
you may find love from the start
yet as you probe into their mind
you never know what you'll find.
You might want to turn the blind
simply play along yet never mind
should they turn out to be unkind
you will be betrayed from behind.

SCRIBBLE

A scribble enables the germ of an idea to attain expression 
From this deluge of abstract shapes Suboriginal art emerges
Profoundest depths of memory tapped, instincts on high alert
Opening the mind and putting it upon the scent of new thoughts
The eyes will sooner be furnished with an abundance of subjects
Conjuring those images and gradually bringing them to the surface
There is much satisfaction here, in the intense indulgence of a habit
The act of creation is merely a reflection of a hidden self deep within.

FACES WITHIN FACES

Faces within faces appear, strangely familiar images
There is no telling if my genetic memory is engaging
I scrutinize them consciously now, once they appear
Scan them into digital format, dissecting meticulously
Suboriginal is the term I have bestowed upon my art
When I am finished I release them loose to the www
They are constantly changing while I am expounding
Even afterwards they will go on changing accordingly
The state of the mind of whoever may perceive them
I am not merely the executor of my art, I live my work!.

TURNAROUND

It was a picnic, a piece of cake
In this sharing there was offering
well meaning, it was a give and take
then the wind broke in smooth fashion
blew off the candles with a gentle breeze
when the going persisted, the storm arrived
the gale got hold, the flames caught the fumes
blowing them higher, the entire place burnt down.

MICROCOSM-MACROCOSM

What is inside should also be found outside, all is in the whole 
Opposite ends of polarity converge, microcosm to macrocosm
Horizons will ultimately curve into each other at eternal stretch 
Time does not go any further, since the beginning is at the end
Accordingly, the world below should open up to worlds beyond.

DERISION

I was just testing before I started flirting
She absorbed my ink without an inkling
An intriguing thing, she had me thinking
Should I not perform ducky to her liking
I might be the target of constant picking
I could be itching if she goes on teasing
She may drain me should I go bleeding
I am the epitome of perpetual bickering.

AT THE EDGE

Change is inevitable
one way or another
sooner than later
it will take place
right on your face
no need to resist
let go of the pain
don’t let it persist
there’s nada gain
flow with the grain
the aptitude to skim
may effect the dream
the attitude to please
can put you in charge
should you so please
make yourself at ease
in hard times like this
just go with the flow
how the wind may blow
will determine the show.

SATAN'S SITTER

The devil came with kid gloves
asperger symptoms they were
asperse as they would become
screening tools can easily detect
promptly diagnosed ensuing birth
there’s only room for a select few
who come highly praised as family
them chosen ones as choosers tell
Noah at the time was hardly aware.

SLEEPWALKER

Consciously alert whilst surfing along the anima
A link between day dreaming and lucid dreaming
Sleepwalking from circumstances to resolutions
Automatically scrutinized by an observing mind

Extra sensory perception consequently refined.

A PARALLEL UNIVERSE

Digging hard while diving deep
not quite the same as in a sleep
reaching out for a special dream
more like sinking as it may seem
the expressions of an impression
uttered right now at this instance
from the bowels of the inner self
into the abyss of this cyberspace
a parallel universe in the reverse
where we are the live participants
of our creation of a spreading web
World wide, from beginning to end
here there could be news to send
friend to friend, is the latest trend.

IN GOOD FAITH

I believe in nothing, this I consider vital in maintaining my sanity
Should I believe in something which has no colour and no form
Which existed long before all other forms and colours appeared
No matter what the belief is, attachment to it is a self-centred act
As it would manifest like it should, faith fuels an inherent energy.
