DIVE

Roller coaster ride once you take the dive
go with the flow, with the grain you’ll slide
you might as well have an incredible ride 
you could vanish yet don’t aspire to hide
unless you transpire over the other side.

SILENT RUN

SILENT RUN IN TOTAL SOLITUDE 
At the negation of inherent existence 
the mind is emptied in dire container
a head so clear when turned around
washed out of any evidence of doubt.
Nothingness is where all this sprouts
embrace emptiness, cherish solitude
stillness of mind can disperse clouds
open the heart wide, bear no attitude.

KISMET

Ardor is subtle when taken in alertly

with integrity, virtuously, full heartedly

alongside passion comes vulnerability

should it crumble there could be no pity.

Romance in bloom, such is pure delight

cherish the beloved, hold on to love tight

faith is fragile, may be determined by fate

so intense but delicate, should treat it right.

THICK & THIN

I ask the winds 
to take my words 
to places yet unknown 
through tracks of dust 
memories of passage, 
in between past & future
from the ink stains & annals
of innovative creation
to micro chips & galaxies
of multilateral regeneration.
I have arrived here
with cautious discretion
riding those railways
with a sense of flux
within the strife of life
I’ll be meeting a dark stranger
quite soon, a mysterious hero,
death as we call it...the Quietus.
I must once again, without strain
abstain from pain, then again
there's no temptation of going insane
given half the chance to dance
to the rhyhm of my tune
I heard the deejay pull the plug
and play a song for me.
I shall submerge into this chord,
emerge from a deep sleep
beyond which the eyes can't see
despite the prevailing mist,
the long stretch across the frets
where the going is rough
will soon be smoothened over
by the solidity of my resolve.
I assure the World of this
and implore the winds to grant me
this historically unprecedentad opportunity
to transpose wholeness
where it can instantly make a dent
way within, through the thick and thin
of my inexhaustible lucid dreams.

TIME

Time is a mighty river flowing towards eternity
as we journey in it towards some destination 
a point of total change, which we call death 
where we stop, while time goes on and on
or.., do we go on and on while time stops 
shall we ever know the genuine answer
ultimately, indisputably, permanently?.
----------------------------------------------
If we were totally immersed in time
we would not merely be passengers
we would be a journey in progression
are there not then those moments when
we catch a glimpse of eternity in glimmer
as our time in all clarity comes to standstill.

UFO

An answer to our prayers
emerging from eternal zest 
the ember of the heavens
tiny particles of stars
floating in space
gathering speed
as meteorite showers
falling down onto Earth
sprinkling samplings of debris
all over this breathtaking planet.
The friction of entry peeling the crust
atmospheric impact inciting the seed
igniting the flame of a dormant entity.

DADA BOOM DOOM

An anticipated shift
polar going bipolar
with a tilt of the axis
over a twisting Earth
spilling out mayhem
the gate of departure
a wide open rapture
feeding human nature
a feeling of adventure
in hidden darker side
at the end of the ride
the coming of the tide
covering over the past
sorting out as it must
all the acquired lust
of the inbred disgust
from the diviner's trust
in lieu of going bust.

SURF

Sliding from the top with a razor sharp shave
Catching a drift from the dawning of the shift
Surfing a mighty wave, the task of the brave
Balanced and daring, bearing with the curve
The basis of this journey is having the nerve.

PROVOCATEUR

Take it or leave it 
I just want to give it
it isn't a one way street
take a seat, stretch your feet
this is going to be quite a treat
flash your flesh and flax my meat
you are at a safe place to save face
once you are done, there'll be no trace.

SOLITARY AFFAIR

Voluntary abstinence is a reclusive quest
Outside of a conventional pecking digest
A space where a person can achieve best
In such an absence presides a holy guest
Lacking in presence, as anyone might be
Empty, though there can be myriad to see.
Existing in exile from the established way
It is a blessing in disguise in an ironic way
Freedom could always be a choice to take
Not just compromising for someone's sake
But humility, reverence with an open heart
Might embrace solitude with such attitude.

VESTIGES

Alarming wake up call 

promptly intercepted

exceptional methods 

used by spying oglers

in removing messages

like thread from butter.

Blinders briskly fluttered

blinkers rapidly adjusted

orders promptly released 

to locate loose roosters

with distinguished beaks

inside draconian quarters.

Fractured remain relations 

amongst bickering nations

what is being demanded

is unreasonable patience

while oligarchic vestiges 

are facing dire extinction.

Gingerly inflicted pain

will be applied again 

sabers rattling in vain

as war is in the cards

despots stands to gain

in conflict gone insane.

OUTSPOKEN

I have been blustering my point of view
in an explicit manner saying what is due
freedom of expression is coming through
my butt is exposed, my neck is on the line 
I'll take my chances, hoping that will be fine.
I have no intention of engendering this crime
I have my reason for beating around the bush
how could I feed you painstaking verse in a rush
soon after I spill the beans, I am bound to go hush
biting time for a soft landing, it'll be over once I crush.

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.
Should you wish to turn the blind
simply play along yet never mind
should they turn out to be unkind
you will be betrayed from behind.

A POINT OF VIEW

BEYOND A QUANTUM COHERENCY
A point of view might be a serious liability 
when the native is approaching the future
an objective view, should have to consider 
alleged potentiality concurrently corporeal.
When a first hand experience is occurring
whatever imagination may render possible
will manifest within eternal time and space
the conceptual phase is fated to take place.

HARDENED CAUSE

A bunch of memories 
tiny bits, mega stories
spread all over the mind
tasty bites, delicious eats
thoughts of the spicy kind
the first hand historic treats.
Some memos are rather tough
just because they've had it rough
skinny dip your fingers in the sauce
as you get deeper you will find a cause
which has since been hardened, I suppose
choose a happy one, is what I would propose.

NATURE'S NATURE

Spreading message through cyber passage
I'm just a conduit, the poet is mother nature
We aught to be paying heed at this juncture
Should we have the wish for a better future.
Inarticulate words are wasted on this matter
It could be for the worse if not for the better
Slaughtered mighty trees to build us shelter
Depleted the forests while we became fatter.
What we have here is just a stark reminder
That we are slowly going under, no wonder
We have taken it all, this is time to flounder
As is the consequence of historical plunder.

DRIFTING

ONWARD THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE 
I was drifting in my dream, the current carrying me
I did not resist the flow, I was willing to wait and see
no need to push the envelope, my intent is to let it be
why strive to set a course as long as the going is easy
I’ll sooner take a dive and glide, rather than climb a tree
what's the point of struggling when the intent is to just be
as long as the going is smooth there is no cause for worry
when I go with the grain, there is no resistance and no pain
yet there can be no saying if I should end up down the drain.

SLANDER

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
You have to live with it, end of story.

RECLUSIVE

Voluntary confinement is a valiant quest
Besides this established pecking digest
A space where nothing can entirely rest
In total absence presides the holy guest
Lacking in presence, but real at its best
Vacuous as it provides the ultimate test.
Voluntary exile from an established way
Is a blessing in disguise, in a funny way
Freedom is having choice one can take
Not barely imposition for another's sake
But humility, reverence in deep solitude
Can embrace absence with this attitude.

SUPERFICIAL

Mortals have been locked up in phoney personality
They’re in denial of the dark aspects of their nature
They choose to hide behind a disguised disposition
Etiquettes are seemly faces in adept understanding
Odd as this may sound, they're imminently impaired.

SETTLEMENT

Politically correct jargon, scheme oriented
with spiritual coating, intelligent marketing
rehearsed, candy coated, tongue delivered
a self serving savvy accordingly positioned
with tight handshake and a pat on the back
smart choice of words, disposed to pamper
signed, sealed and endorsed in jolly temper.

COSMIC

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.

STRANDED

The grotesque visions of a life's discarded reverie
Alienated from the cultural roots, wanting to be free
Holding on to the body, eyes wide open but can't see
The soul has taken to ether, yet the mind won't let it be
Paradox in action, clinging to genetic memory grudgingly
Psyche striving for change but the ghost persists stubbornly
Accursed spirit, yearning for eternity, unable to migrate swiftly
An entity must shed density to be able to rise beyond periphery.

TRUTH & CONSEQUENCES

It does not have to be a secret to spread
besides with whom do you care to share
who can cope with it, the courage to dare
sincerely give a darn, most certainly care
about the truth regarding why and where
we're sharing the moment, now and here.
Consider for an instant, everything in the clear
total transparency as far as the eyes could see
fibs have nowhere to hide, nothing can escape
the herds have been in total darkness for ages
suddenly exposed to fiery blinding illumination
should they not handle, there'll be devastation.

LORD'S PLAYER

The poet is a Word Priest
To play is this poets Prayer
This voice made is a choice
Let us Pray, Play & Rejoice.
Let us play a prayer
In private or in public
May it be brief,
To its point
Instant relief.
Let us play it
In such a manner
As not to heed
Demons that feed
Upon dreaded fear.
Oh Lord all might be!
The source of our creation
The means of our destruction
The breath of life and death
Oh Lord, Oh lord all might be!
If you be attached or detached
If you give us a hand or a push
Could you grant us peace?.
Hold your breath
Serve your mercy
Deliver us from here
Let us arise once again
Not so much in fear
Not so much in pain
Not eager to complain.
Taper our worry
Rid us of Defeat
Rid us of Victory
End of Story.

DOWN TO EARTH

Our life is a fermented journey where 
the landscape fosters a different view 
than that which was presented at first 
changing again and again till the end
as we seek something new to amend
which we might find wherever we land
whether we dismiss or make it a trend
rather than finding the expected result
in satisfaction derived solace we trust.
Direct experience is a genuine award
consciousness is the ultimate reward.

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.
