Cancer

4/14/2012

1 Comment

 
Death is always on my mind
Slowly eats away my soul
Cancer of appointed time
Surrendered void - lose control

My soul's torn out
Sold to addict-tions
Self-serving black hole
Painful self-afflictions

Melted minds of misery
Makes music through my muscles
Artificial movements of an
Internal symphonic hustle

Friends and foes
All look alike
Their intentions I cannot see

Manifestations of
Perceptions
Becoming reality

For today I'm dead
No, I haven't risen from the ashes
An eternal sleep
I'd rather snooze than be factitious

Or be factious
Causing dissonance
Rest - cease to sound.

Melodic murders of
This child
Who was never found

A single note extracted
From a chord
Sticking out sorely
Judged by the bored

Just give me my penance
I'm done balancing your scales
I'm stuck in Hades while
Heaven's behind a veil

Yet still I wait for dissipation
I cannot shake off the anticipation
(And that, my friends, is an understatement)

But, my lesson here is: Patience.
Avoiding- at all costs- being latent...

So, I'll feed my mind
Create a tide
Until I create a rumble

Cause I'd hate to see
The ones I love
Take a similar stumble

Now, while I wait
At Heaven's gate
I'll contemplate my sins

And change my ways
So when I reincarnate
I won't commit them again.

Consciousness of the Earth

12/6/2011

We are the consciousness of the earth
We are her eyes and ears
We embody all her emotions
We help her run through the years

The time we keep is steady
The time we share exists
Rolling through the good times
Through the bad... we simply persist

For if we insist it's awful
Then awful it shall be
Then our dreams become our nightmares
Our manifestations of reality

Why dream of war?
Why dream of hate?
When magical love calls you
Up to Heaven's gate?

For if Heaven on Earth exists
Then, so does Hell
It's you and I who chooses to be
Under the respective spell

So, don't violate our Mother
Don't scratch her skin to shreds
For itching causes infection
It causes tears you'll dread

We are the consciousness of the earth
We are her arms and legs
We encompass her spirituality
We are the ambassadors of her trends

Honor her and all women
For it is they who bring us life
Honor men and the seed they spread
For it is they who fosters the lives

Honor children and their spirits
For they remind us to just Be
Honor the elderly and deceased
For they show us how to be set free

Stop being materialistic
You're just trashing our land
Even the waters are poisoned
By the one you serve: The Man

You're enslaved by the dollar
Change weighs you down
All you are is a dragon
A blundering pirate about to drown

What of education?
You're just being told what to do
But, behold The Library!
She will never lie to you

We are the consciousness of the earth
We are her heart and soul
We create her vibrations
We are her symphonic mold

Please keep your mind open
To the challenges coming your way
For our encounters are just lessons
Waiting for us to wake up one day

The day marked for you to awaken
Has been painted in the sky
I hope you've been paying attention
Or else you'll lose your chance to fly

Let us rejoice in our creations
Let us dance the nights away
Let us awaken up the mornings
Let us be free to laugh and play

The stars in the sky scream celebrations
They align and dance for us every night
The show costs nothing but attention
Your applause of wonderment would be advised

Then you'll feel the rapture
The essence of being alive
You'll become addicted
You'll get high on life

We are the consciousness of the earth
And this I say to you
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
Before your destroyed while you snooze

Perfection and Letters

11/27/2011

1 Comment

 
The moon is my mentor
The moon is my friend
She teaches me to love
She teaches me to Bend

I've fallen to pieces
And I fit together better
I'd never trade these cracks and creases
For perfection or letters

A, B, C, D, F, PhD
They amount to letters
On papers behind glass
Glass behind dust
Dust behind stacks

They account for your debt
They account for your lust
To chase all that paper
Till you've run amuck

Amuck with desires
Amuck with pretends
You're living a story
You never could end

Come back to the forest
Come back to the sea
Come back to the desert
Where you can be free

Then we'll dance together
We'll play in the mud and the sand
We'll live like the ancients:
Artists unmanned

The clouds will conform
To our conscious skies
We'll travel forever
Among the stars and the sighs

I’ll love you tomorrow
I love you today
I’ll you forever
Even if you say hate

Sunrise

My hair smells of lavender
My skin smells the same
I'm as soft as a whisper
A ghost with no name

My eyes are like chocolate
My hair's unruly, untamed
I'm chilled like September
Sunshine on the brink of winter's pain

My nails are all uneven
My body's full of scars
I'm singing and playing
Making my tribute to the stars

My feet are dirty
My armpits have hair
I'm learning slowly
I can love each and every layer

My knees are knocking
My elbows are giving way
I'm aging and decaying
While living day by day

My freckles are constant
My cheek bones are high
I'm learning to smile
With every passing sigh

My wounds are all healing
My scars are slyly proud
I'm dancing and creating
Infusing my consciousness in the clouds

My tears may be heavy
My back still stands straight
I'm falling and climbing
I'm the key to my gait

My jeans are dirty
My shoes still have souls
This trial ahead of me
Has already been told

My fingers are wrinkly
My feet are still ticklish
I'm quitting and will never stop
Being childish

My wrinkles are starting to crease
My stretch marks are stretchy
I'm reminded of old connections
When the music can catch me

My youth is in tact
My wisdom is growing
I'm watching my son rise
An effervescent glowing

Immortality Awakes

7/14/2011

0 Comments

 
Safe in the Darkness
Confines of my mind
Comforting memories... places...
Help me un-whined

Frozen and dusty
Everything stands still
Time non-existent
Moreso an evil spell

Emotional
Spiritual
Physical
Mental
All of the causes
Are cooking like lentils

Standing here alone?
No one to call to?
Am I alone in me?
Abandoning my childhood?

Perhaps it is I
My naivety precedes me
There's life in the graveyard
The bones are beneath me

Though I walk slowly
I'm speeding through time
Fearful I won't finish
Before I grow old and die

The sadness pulls me
It's own gravity awakens
There stands my enigma
My shoulders he strengthens

The light and the dark
Being good nor bad
Stands right beside me
Soothing my sad

Teaches me acceptance
Teaches me my will
Teaches me my dreams
Are exactly what I can fulfill

Here I continue
On this never ending journey
Finding myself
Not understanding wholly

Growing and changing
Discovering and leading
Finding my magic
Tending to my bleedings

Following our souls
Trusting in them
Our instincts

Bequeathing our minds
To ourselves
To our dreams

Using our bodies
To work
Through the motions

Finding what works
With secret magical potions
Passed down through minds
Of wondrous proportions

Potions of wonder
Potions of truth
Potions of passion
Which help us unroot

Catching our foes
Sharing our triumphs
Happy to help tend
To our cerebral gardens

It's not that we're stagnant
We just need a moment to chill
Take in a breath
Calm down against our wills

Then with sincerity
Bonds and promises are made
I'll be a loyal friend
Until the zombies make way

I won't judge you
Your privacy will be kept
Our discussions remain ours
Until we're legends unmet

I'll see you at the swings
A land not far away
In a dream we will have had
Immortality Awakes

Angel For You

7/13/2011

0 Comments

 
I wish for you happiness
I wish for you light
I wish for your love
Through others to shine bright

I hope you find comfort
In the dark parts of your brain
For even the light
Can drive us insane

I pray for your health
Your well being- your bones
May they hold you up high
Keep you steady on your toes

I feel for your achings
Your joys and your laughter
May you find someone or something
That will make your happily ever after

This is my plea
Don't settle for less
For looking around
Is not always the best

Believe in yourself
Activate your awareness
Know your own truth
Act accordingly- not mindless

Through your trials and sorrows
Through your changes and burns
I will stand right behind you
Polishing your urn

For my investment is long term
I am the Angel of Death
I'm not here to control you
Just take away your breath

So while you're still panting
Still scurrying around
Take a moment to breathe
Take a moment
Take a moment
To inhale

Then exhale your weight
The load you carry on your back
That makes you complain
That makes you slack

Then deeper than ever
Breathe in
then
Breathe out

For I'm waiting for you
Patiently
More patiently than ever
For your vessel to wear down

And when what's important
Has left your bedside
Here I am waiting
In me you'll confide

I'll hear your regrets
What you should have said
What you should have done
And I'll tell you, "I told you."
And you'll tell me I'm wrong

You'll say times have changed
Blame the way society became
You had to run the race
It was they who put you to shame

I've heard it before
I'll hear it again
I'm sure the excuses
Will never end

It was time
Time was wasted
It was they
Not you who tasted?

The wine from the chalice
The one sparkling with wonder
Filled with a delicious poison
A treacherous blunder

One many fall into
So don't feel too special
It's not surprising
You would have too

Turned your back on the Earth
Uprooted your roots
Stopped looking at the stars just
Tended to your loots

Here we are
Just you and
Just me
Breathing in lightly
Breathing in deep

Converse with your shadows
I'll converse with your light
Together we'll journey
We'll make things just right

Little Laughing Lottie

7/11/2011

Little laughing Lottie
Skipping through the trees
Never knew how great things were
Till she was stung by all the bees

She now sits in her bedroom
Crying and throwing fits
Not understanding why
Simply not comprehending it

Why she had to go so fast
Why she skipped the crawl
Why she thought she could fly
When she couldn't even stand at all

Then a revelation
An epiphany if you will
Little laughing Lottie
Simply had to be still

The stings
The aches
The cuts
The burns
They eventually went away

Then Lottie laughed a little
She giggled
She smirked
She ran away

Oh where is the laughing Lottie
We think she's lost her way
But still her friends all laugh and say
Little laughing Lottie has gone to play

What they don't know
Is she is seeking
While they live and die
She is merely peeking

She snoops
She "awh's"
She peeps
She'll pause

For laughing's atomic matter
It's the medicine of "Ever After"
I'll give you a dose
If you get too close
So watch your P's and Q's

For the last and first thing you want
Is to be Little Lottie's muse

Puppet strings make her wings
She's been discarded and tossed aside
But lift her up
She'll dance again
She'll speak
Or perhaps she'll subside

Laugh for us, little Lottie
Your voice we want to hear
For it's your song- it's your life
Your sounds to which we hold dear

Please don't lie , Little Lottie
Tis the truth we want to find
Not your hocus pocus trickery
Not even your half-defined

You're only a little lost, Lottie
I'll make sure you find your way
You just need to twist and turn
Dance and stomp your sorrows away

Speak to the moon
Wish on the stars
Shine like Venus
Strike like Mars

Then...

Sleep well, my little Lottie
You will become your dreams
Your reality is fluid
Your brain prints out my terrains

We'll venture through
The light and the dark
Until we find
The center's spark

Make way, little Lottie
Your laughter paves the road
With angelic tones awaking bones
Dismembering your load

Have peace, little Lottie
Have patience
Have presets
Have pre-knows
For your not finished quite yet

But that's the fun
Not knowing when, what, where, or who
Will flip you upside down
Will make you see the world anew

Every ride has its quakes
It's ups and downs you see
So, fear not, little Lottie
Your safe and warm with me

Keep cart-wheeling, little Lottie
We love to watch you spin
Wondering, oh wondering why
We can never quite give in

Little laughing Lottie
Skipping down the streets
Knows exactly how great things were
And hopes you hear her tweets

For Lottie laughs a lot not a little
She chuckles and chokes
She HAHA's! and she giggles
She laughs so hard she pees her pants
She laughs so much she starts to pant

Oh, little Lottie we're laughing right with you
We now know how crazy you've been
Or is it... how crazy we are too?

I love you my sisters.
I love you my moms.
I love you my soul friends.
I love you my pawns.

I love you my boys.
I love you my girls.
I love you my lovers.
The straight-haired and curls.

I love the dark skin
I love the pale whites
I love the curvy curves
I love the boney thighs

Walking in heels
Walking bared soul-ed
Walking ahead of me
Songs collected... untold

Making your sounds
Your gestures
Your jokes
Feelings inside me
Magic you awoke

I love you my brothers.
I love you my dads.
I Love you my soul mates.
I love you my lads.

I love you my child.
I love you my teens.
I love you young adults.
I love you elders and deceased.

I love your lessons
I love the mirrors you place
I love the way you dance around
I love you when you fall flat on your face

I love your dreams
I love your art
I love your life
I love the gifts that you are

Your movements
Your words
The way you look me in the eye
Something inside me
Is now burning alive

So- I say here I love you
I love you out loud
I love you I love you
I'm saying it proud

I won't hold it back
If you're embarrassed
Oh, well
You're not required to say it back
You're not under a spell

I love you my sons.
I love you my daughters.
I love you my enemies.
I love your betrayals and their fathers.

I love you
I love you
And what does that prove
I have no idea
I'll continue to brood

Have I told you I love you?
I love you, I do.
I'm no longer ashamed to tell you.
And tell you I'll do.

Stultified Sheeple

7/9/2011

1 Comment

 
Stultified sheeple
All cozy in their beds
Disembodied people
With brains made of led

Questions and answers
The latter already understood
The former forgotten
For questioning's not good

Politics and religion
The topics of taboo
If we don't challenge our institutions
Then we've already said, "Salut!"

Goodbye not hello
To the truth of our century
Leaving the decisions only to
The elected powers "that be"

Why can't you be?
What can't I?
What happened to asking and seeking?
Why can't we even try?

We're disconnected.
We're misunderstood.
We've been separated, dissected, and
We don't think that we could

Oh! Silly sheeple
You've but lost your minds
You're able and capable
Of changing the tides

These times are precious
These times are rare
This time we need to stand up
This time we need to seriously care

Move past the excuses
It's not just the way it is
I won't accept that conclusion
I will not give in.

I'll ask all my questions
Till I'm out of breath
And I'll find the people who
Still retain breadth

I'm excusing myself
From this said here race
If I have to I'll disappear
Without a single trace

But we won't leave
The sheeple need help
To re-evolve back into people
Instead of evolving into kelp

I suppose I'm fearful
That I too may change
Get caught in the herd
Become, in my mind, caged

I won't have it.
I won't.
I won't.
I won't.

I'll find my answers
By questioning my luck

Come take a journey with me

6/19/2011

Let's take a ride
We can run, hitch, rail it, go on a sail boat
Scuba, swim, fly, or climb

Putting ourselves to the test
Traveling through the labyrinth
Dancing along the spirals
Understanding our synthesis

We are the intelligentsia
We are the voices to be heard
But no one listens cause we're crazy
We're defecting from the herd

Where are our responsibilities?
How selfish can we get?
We're depleting life and generations.
How much do you want to make a bet?

You have a carbon footprint that would scare Sasquatch.
You have your powers and priorities all mixed up.
You're distracted by the creation's of others to whom
You truly know not.

You absorb the words of others
While your consciousness you forget
Making exclamations and proclamations
Without remembering to forget

All the assumptions made
Where the facts are dulled
Who is the source of information?
Where, oh where, are your truths coming from?

For all is One
We must honor ourselves
For each of us is Divine
We each have Dark
We each have Light

We are the prisms and rainbows
The angles and cracks
The power we hold
Always gives and always comes back

This power is Love
The power to Be
Surrendering wills
Seeking truth not deceit

Our dreams are manifestations
They are the tests of will
To live in the present moment
To see if we can just Be still

Take a break from the race
That's killing our earth
Seek a symbiotic relation
Instead of just taking and taking since birth

We need a stronger foundation
The Ancients had it figured out
Care for Mother Earth and her vibrations
Then healing energies will flood out

We give Money power
Instead of precious Life
We lose our connections and
We numb all our strives

Our growth is stunted
We're blinded by grief
We don't know how to handle the slaughter
And most of all The Bleed

Find your awareness
On your path of truth: stand strong.
I want to see you grow and flourish
No matter how decelerated we've become

Then after you've had your moment to shine
When you've absorbed your fifteen minutes of fame
Come back and sow seeds for the next generations
Start teaching them to have faith

Show them how to dream
Teach them how to swallow
The truths of the world
Then show them how to fly solo

Provide them with tools

To fashion their own
For with each society
There is inevitable doom
