ALERT

Intelligence is an open wound, treat it with wisdom,
cunning is the by-product, may be schemed at random.
What is truly from the heart, the capacity for empathy
can be brutally squandered by condescending apathy.

CHERISHED

Should a person have merit
trophies won’t change it a bit
there are many that strive for it
decorations make them distinct
should you have a good instinct
you can feel, need not even think
gross glamour might need a shrink
bona fide distinctions must not blink.

IDENTITY

Infused into the future stretched beyond eternity
from the here and now, an illusion with a destiny
a beginning with end, meanwhile given a choice
to be a number, name, to have a proven identity
or not to be anything like you’re supposed to be.

HINDSIGHT

The answer came initially out of the blue
did not ask the question, not even to you.
It surfaced from the void totally by chance
I had to trace it back to envisioned stance.
A dream in which we are dancing in trance
euphoric in a sense, as delusions enhance.
The crop circle manifest, a sign clearly seen
has been from the beginning the force within.
The guiding light that discerns red from green
which is beyond the place where I have been.
To be in this World, yet of the mysteries within
I could hardly believe in what I have just seen.

ANTAGONIST

Our adversaries strengthen our nerves and sharpen our skill.
Inadvertently, the antagonist is our helper, we gain experience.
This gives us knowledge, the wisdom of handling the conflicts.
What was once an assumption is a full fledged first hand affair.
Acknowledgment & disappointment, celebration & condemnation.
Betrayal of loyalty, unconditional love tested, provoked temptation.
Honour takes issue with pride, implication of shame brings humility.
Ultimately it's the anger, quietly yet grudgingly stirring up perplexity.
Tempted to seek satisfaction in vindication, despite the humiliation.
Detachment is a necessity to safeguard against threatened sanity.
There's more ingenuity which will kick in once the going gets rough.
In keeping vigil we sharpen our skill,our adversary makes us tough.

MASKS

Masks and masks and masks

everyone solicitously wearing 

walking around in fake smiles

inner feelings kept in disguise

expedient posture of pretence

is the state of natural defence. 

Masks are given as we arrive

superficial allusions of identify

names, numbers, tags, brands

idiopathic means secure points

skirts for ladies, pants for gents

a fancy crown his majesty gets.

A mask is an indication of fear 

looks like a safe way to appear

remove once the coast is clear

can't hide the truth from a seer

outwardly proud, in reality shy 

takes a careful look in the eye.

LUCID ALERT

Totally awake > daydream > lucid dream > deep dream

(interval) 

lucid dream >  daydream > alert. 

the (interval) is where continuity is maintained 

like a soft landing on automatic pilot. 

Remembering is where the connection is, 

this is where the lucid dream is necessary 

to find continuity to the alert state.

INTERFUSION

Lucid dreaming during daydreaming 
one facing down, the other facing up
like lying on the surface of the water
turning from upside to the down side
subconscious alert of the conscious
coalescing of the inner and the outer.

FACES UPON FACES

In my dreams I see many characters from the past
Some departed in real life but in dreams, still alive
Also some personalities I know in the here and now
There are many whom I have only known via 'www'
They have no face but just a Facebook like presence
I am also visited quite often by entities I’ve never met
I have known more people through my lucid dreams
Which are crowded with faces, coming out in stages
It's rather harmless but sometimes too much stress
I ease them on paper as I am dreaming wide awake
& launch them into the world wide web, just like that.

QUEST

Incite if you dare the inner ride
dive into it, take a deepening slide
probe into your soul, but do not hide 
until you surface from the brighter side.
What we make of this will mostly depend
on weather we shall rise above or descend
let us write in sand, avouch we should make
what we intend should contend to the very end.

INNUENDO

The depth of your being

encompasses hidden forces

with the potential of expanding

the traits which are on the surface.

What was suppressed can be provoked

latent powers emerge as they are evoked

the dormant energies can easily be tapped

once they are detected & carefully snapped.

On one hand there are many benefits to contend

such an intricate process should inevitably depend

on attitude, purpose of what a person might intend

handling those assets could come handy in the end.

TIME DELAYED FATE

Safe module cyber placed
only passwords can locate
a probe which will contain
crucial information in hand
delivered at exact moment
in clock strike, time expire
activate automatic device
target ticks capsule ignite
instructing prompt delivery
informing destined agents
which have the resources
to activate powerful forces
implement planned action
causing huge devastation
via satellite in cyberspace
should be an instant affair
in case the motive is there
time delayed day after day
riddle revealed at the gate
the avenger is not too late
should intensely vindicate
securing a deserving fate.

BILL OF WRONGS

Dressed in black, twenty strong they came
All legal and proper, with credentials and all
Once inside the private residence of a doctor
They turned into terrorists, spewing out horror
Intimidating a family with a brute show of force
In the name of government ‘The Bill of Wrongs'
I trust this story to be true and revealing as such
It is shamefully wrong, a wicked abuse of the law
Considering it comes from the hierarchy of decree
The implication of a set up is apparently within line
When intrigue is applied, justice will tend to decline
The proxy can set the scheme and reap the rewards.

TOO MUCH LAUNDRY

She came with luggage 
he gave a helping hand
it was all neat and proper
he was a true gentleman.
Winsomely she was spread
over her queen sized bed
extended an inviting hand
in high esteem he had held
yet laundry was to contend
belonging to the late friend
he declined despite inclined
the load was too big to handle
yet, a goodbye kiss was amiss
reaching out at the door handle
without even a hug or a fondle
leaving her puzzled in yonder
this should make you wonder.

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

Predicting the shape of things to come:
Languages are now instantly translated
Incredible strides in science of telepathy
Breakthrough in conversing with animals
The language of ancient trees deciphered
Source of unlimited free energy disclosed
Nanotechnology integrated with 3D printing
Silver’s therapeutic potentials implemented
Volcanic eruption, Earthquake causes havoc
Nuclear exchange averted, issue unresolved
Greek democracy is duly replaced by anarchy
Meteorite showers directed to specific targets
Chemical clouds inexplicably appear in the sky
Water level in the oceans swallowing the shores
Tsunamis are now becoming regular occurrences
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.
