hold in
this planet
for yourself

stop procrastinating
step fully
into yourself

walk bravely
see your
spirit's light

ponder longer
average man
quits quickly

hope's hope
remembering time's
changing nature
.
claim these days that cry to you
touch these hearts that stick to you
move these layers of blandness and boredom
shake and flay them
so that you may once again
remember, see, hear, taste, touch, feel, think, hug
the fullness of nothing
the grace enveloping everything you do
the perfection of the world's ways to make us
into what we ought to be
suicide the false self
plunge him into oblivion
emerge once more
clean and stripped
of ego's blunders
rise and shine
grinning
a
smile

amen.

AND




And how the ring sits inside the ear
And how it bounces back and forth as black-flagged concert child
And it's amazing how the moods fluctuate according to the timings
And unbelievable how tightly the feelings hold on to these nimble rings
And this music how it fuels its inhabitants and their world
And paired with smell these incessant rings go all the way to the past
And with such ease we are put back in forgotten places
And the memories that are revived from their lengthy slumber
And the thoughts being fabricated at this moment to be retrieved in the future
And how long will it be
And will this love for music ever subside?
And where will the answers come from?
And and and
And that's all

Psittacidae


funk
spunk
clunk
chug
hug

words and their secret power
play peek-a-boo with my sentiments
they flutter and mutter among themselves the secret truths of the all
then capriciously
they migrate my way
by the time they reach my brain's ear
the secrets have burrowed themselves again
into cultural and personal mud
they remain hidden from me
but not from the parrots
no no no
they know
they bask in the know
they fly powered by the power of know
their colors come from knowing
.
so i set on an adventure
the sole goal
enamor a parrot
with wit and charm
then coax it into releasing the secrets
un-muddied and fresh
into my hungry ears
.
the parrot, i found
the enamoring was done
the coaxing peeled away the information as intended
by the time it landed in my sound receptacles
the implications of such knowledge
had plowed their way into my knowing eye
i was able to see
behind all the mason bricks of reality
with a clarity so incandescent that it almost blinded me
but alas the malign implications...
they impeded my relating of what i saw
in fact they replaced the lucidly brilliant images of the truth's truth
with an image
this image is the only thing i am allowed to share
i was assured that this image carries all the knowledge i was privy to
and that all that set eyes upon it
would at some level
feel, understand, and assimilate
the perennial knowl-edge
the image
sits atop this account.

para lore [en inglish]

look above
look below
look behind
look around

what you see is in fact
what you get
..
what you see
will last
as much as a sand castle
on the side of the freeway

things will change
because you will change
and that is inevitable

sometimes what is around
doesn't foster good feelings

sometimes all we do is work
and live
and eat
and pee
and blink
and drive
and sleep
and
we forget
how wonderful all of it is

the reminder comes
sometimes late
but it always shows up

those windows to your soul
so blue and infinite majestic and deep
keep them open
that is all you have to do

i wish i could do more
than write simple words

i wish i could illuminate your surroundings
i wish i could make you taste the sweet nectar of being human
that has always belonged to you
i wish i could show you exactly how amazing and beautiful you are
i wish i had it all
just to give
it to
you
.............................................................
animals
will
be your guides

they will protect you
from the wild humanity
grazing this nasty asphalt

they will give you all of their love
because they know nothing more
and they, better than me
can show you
just how wonderful
all of it is.

continue

forge ahead my friend
simply keep threading this invisible current that rules your life
stopping at any moment will inevitably affect you
you will be enveloped with the flow
you will belong to it
and it will do with your life as it pleases

when we find ourselves in this state of inertia
the flow tends to push us toward places
that exist within each of us
places that we try to avoid
the flow wants us to go there and untie the knots we created
while we tried to escape ourselves

if the knots become too numerous
their weight increases
and threading becomes extremely difficult
escaping oneself is tricky business
for in this context escape
can lead
directly to entrapment
and sinking...
nobody likes sinking

one extremity at a time
but taking no extremes
let's attempt once more
to gravitate upward
and feel the lively
wind of change
pushing
against
our
face
and
soul
let's
let's
let's
let
it
be.

attempt [s]

i try to write
for you and for me and for the soul of the world
i try to write
about things and people and events that seem important to our growth
i try to write
when the moon is high and when the sun is low
when the stars are born and when the grass grows
i try and try
and only when i try does it really happen
but then
for some unknown reason i stop trying
and i sit back
and i read my attempts and sometimes i think they aren't too great
some other times i think they should be required reading for all students
then i come back to reality
and i try to bend it and re-shape it with the chisel of my thought and the rock of my sentence
i chip away

i tell you to breathe

even though i forget to
sometimes
...
imagine what would happen if all the people alive in the world right now took a deep breath at exactly the same moment
imagine
the rolling wave of peace
imagine the ozone being cleaned by our own lungs

imagine what would happen if all the people alive in the world right now
decided to hum
long and uninterrupted
it would be so very loud
that maybe we wouldn't be able to hear our bad thoughts anymore

imagine what would happen if all the people alive in the world right now
started caring about one another
imagine how that would feel
feel how that would imagine
itself
into
existence

Spoken chant

the inspiration of the poet has sailed away in a giant floating leaf
searching for ports more apt than this one
it is now looking for an open hand
for a free quill

"you wont find it here" i tell it
"i like to type my stuff, you capricious inspiration!"
and then i add
"plus who in the world uses a quill anymore?"
...a poet's inspiration can be romantically unrealistic

"it sounded good" you shout across the paper
and i can't refute
"look for an open keyboard! you may have more luck" says me -the desperate techno poet
waiting for a little nugget of literary goodness
"oh keyboards are so impersonal and limited"
and then
the pirate poet's-inspiration adds
"what if you wanted to draw next to your poem, inside it, over it, then what would you do with your precious little keyboard?"

i quickly realize that this maritime outlaw is quite witty
so i dash for the paper and the pen, i'm afraid this will end through other means
more agreeable to the poet's inspiration

but don't worry my worthy reader
i shall quench your poetry thirst with words that will prove to be much more vivacious than mine

here is
the genius
of
Dame
Edith Sitwell

POETRY
Enobles the heart and the eyes,
and unveils the meaning of all things
upon which the heart and the eyes dwell.
It discovers the secret rays of the universe,
and restores to us forgotten paradises.



good night
