POETRY
NO, IT IS.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Current safe boundaries were once
Uncharted frontiers intrepid fearless
voyager
Exploring remote vistas unknown
spectrums
Daredevil venturing alone
without maps
> > >

Drawing curtains back on
ageless
Life and lives he never
Bothered caring enough about to
Touch or be touched by
< < < < <
Far removed world less distant
After having moved there been
Moved by constantly moving rarely
Standing still getting caught
up
> > >
> >
Unaware he was ever lost
Though admittedly never saying so
Navigating history not yet recorded
Searching for buried secret trust
< < < < <
Digging up bygone fragments of
Eugenic legacy reduced to rubble
What never really was has
Been exiled to mere oblivion
> > >
> >
In limbo between rebirth <->
death
Reprising beginnings with surprise
endings
Unforgiving past exultant revelatory
future
Passage to next life booked

MYSTICISM
Flattering fragile id superhuman ego
Soothing unsatisfied psyche primitive
urges
Indifferent borderline neurotic
faking passion
Blissfully oblivious to painful
pleasure
‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
Secondhand moments all too brief
Pricelessly spent wondering what if
Leftover past already caught up
Currently progressing onward
never retreating
; ; ; ; ;
No turning back vigorous strides
Stowaway love precariously on hold
Stranded wanton desire craving lust
Innocent longing riddled with
guilt
. . . . .
Indulging in quirky nightmarish visions
Where does sound reason end
And disorderly utter madness
takeover
Bizarre unconventional wisdom
oddly far-fetched
: : : : :
Unrestrained fantasy or sheer insanity
Wavy curves separate wildcat imagination
From ecstatic sensibilities surreal
hallucinations
Wired whimsy underlying
outlandish weirdness
? ? ? ? ?
Probing ever more deeply unexposed
Recesses mindful confusion reeking havoc
Edgy balance fruit basket upset
Warped counterclockwise
timelessness slightly cuckoo
! ! ! ! !
INSIGHT
TENSION à ATTENTION
Pure consciousness freedom from thought
Divine inspiration curious awesome wonder
Intuitive awareness overwhelming perceptual
senses
The is nothing to understand
RESTLESSNESS à TRANQUILITY
Unlocking enigmatic mysteries of existence
Altered frequency state shifting from
Egocentric I to innermost Self
Redirected matter vital energy source
RIGIDITY à FLEXIBILITY
Mindfulness sticks to mouth’s roof
Bespeaking universal all-ness in oneness
Estranged polyglots babbling in tongues
Common bonds reconciling unique individuality
INDIFFERENCE à COMPASSION
Primal cosmic principles complementary forces
Inseparable unity vis-à-vis duality reversals
Waxing presence in absence waning
Formless nothing changes delicate balance
VANITY à SANITY
Flash floods of emotion overflow
Repressed deep-set feelings breathing free
Redemptive enlightened vision outwardly
expressive
Measured emptiness full of itself
CONCEIT à EGOTISM
All created beings kindred spirits
Our global family blood brotherhood
Extensively inclusive definition relating to
Everything or everyone without exception
KNOWLEDGE à WISDOM
ANIMA
Unconscious true anima innermost self
As opposed to outer persona
Totality of feminine emotional
feelings
Autonomous complex heirborne
male possessed
Aggregate of maternal lineage aspects
Manifested in dreams within dreams
Within dreams unfolded map
charting
Inward journey destination
mindful soul
Divine passionate lovers Eros &
Psyche
Intimate tale of psychosexual
transformation
Shattered taboos targeting
anxious fears
Cupid’s stinging
arrows engendering bliss
Two mutually rooted
cosmic opposites
Dark yin overshadowing
light yang
State of movement instilling
balance
Internally latent yet outwardly
expressive
Presumed emptiness full of
itself
Caught up nested within maze
Within maze cramped space Matryoshka
Dolls fit inside one another
Inseparable unity within
diversity sought
In this world rather than
The next presence rejoining absence
Atavistic fantasies haunting closet ghosts
^^^^^LOST LUSTER^^^^^
Frothy beach driftage collectables found
^^^^^Deposited along ebb tide strandline
^^^^^^^^^^Jewel box glisten scattered diadems

Gay abandoned sea urchin abodes
