Futile Hope For Liberty

When the black-necked crane of her wounded heart 
flaps mordantly above pale bare-limbed woods, 
Yi Soo-ah leans back in red leather seat 
and sighs with rattle of fast iron wheels 
in train that winds along the river shore 
far away from house where her mother died. 

Late winter shadows of high mountain peaks 
shroud valley of plum trees in thoughtful hope 
at haunting melody of the jade flute 
because she is unaccustomed to grief 
that guides her way along the unseen track 
outside classifiable frame of faith. 

Walking alone along the winding road 
among plum trees that rustle secret truths, 
Yi Soo-ah pauses by the cement bridge 
and gazes shocked at the car-wounded deer 
that trembles halfway down steep slope of weeds 
till she kneels and cries for its innocence. 

Though we exist in world of fragile souls, 
our hearts swell strong with bravery of fear 
at flash of silver clouds over bare trees, 
Yi Soo-ah whispers to the flowing stream 
that shimmers over time-smoothed stones of fate, 
yet wonders if the sparrow understands. 

Small sparrow with chestnut crown and gold wings 
explains that all organic bodies die 
but atoms forming frames of psychic force 
fall in soil where roots transform them to plums, 
so Yi Soo-ah plucks purple fruit of hope 
and gasps with pleasure to consume Rain Soul. 

Startled at sudden clatter in the woods, 
Yi Soo-ah backs against the power pole 
when older gray-haired man in prison suit, 
face and arms streaked with blood of urgent fear,  
stumbles on the road and falls to his knees, 
heart clanging with terror of wordless truth. 

Pressing thick blood-stained book of poetry 
in careful distress of her trembling hands, 
the gray-haired prisoner stares in her eyes 
with ache of longing that she understands, 
then flees into grim shadow of the woods 
when platoon of soldiers with guns appear. 

Wincing at gunfire and scream of despair, 
Yi Soo-ah runs dusty road into town, 
slouches on bench outside small grocery store, 
and drinks cold soda as she shakes from shock, 
then cries quietly as she reads his poems 
about his futile hope for liberty. 

Men Fight Brutal Wars

Men Fight Brutal Wars

With confidence great as the ocean wave 
Sylphus glides among the star-singing trees 
to consume apples in ruby-bright cave, 
then chats philosophy with honey bees 
to understand why men fight brutal wars 
which leaves women weeping behind locked doors. 

Alert to butterflies that drop steel bombs, 
Sylphus shrinks houses to models in crates, 
then frolics in meadow with laughing lambs 
in clever plan to fool killer robots 
who march in crusade under the Red Cross, 
enforcing strict rule that Jesus is Boss. 

Startled by shriek of the innocent crow, 
Sylphus builds safe shelters for refugees 
who pray and give thanks to the golden cow 
while binding books in empty libraries 
to hide from loathing of corporate kings 
who want to enslave the princess who sings. 

Astride white horse on the wild carousel, 
Sylphus leads angels to stop World War Three 
when tyrants fight for the Alphabet Well 
where serpent runes nominate Liberty 
as empress who judges what love is worth 
to support United Nations of Earth. 

Stopping in the snowless woods before dusk, 
Sylphus searches for ghost of Lucifer 
who wears my secret face as shaman mask, 
and sings on darkest evening of the year 
about heroic soul of suffering 
that wakes in hearts of every human being. 

Amazed at beauty of the mountain lake, 
Sylphus plots revolution of the just 
because we are no more than cosmic dust 
commissioned to expose tales of the fake, 
then joins his brothers on the fishing boat 
who tease him for his many-colored coat. 

Assigned the most difficult task of all, 
Sylphus codes social system for the state 
organized around the posh shopping mall 
because each person chooses their own fate 
while stumbling awkwardly on road of life, 
learning lessons in overcoming strife. 

With arrogance brave as the skittish cat, 
Sylphus rules the world in Tower of Eyes 
by analyzing facts gathered by spies 
who build glass idols of Jehoshaphat 
then eat pizza and watch fantasy shows 
contrived by wizards of dream studios. 

Her Smile Sparks My Heart

Her Smile Sparks My Heart

2026 04 25

Because her smile sparks my heart to expand 
scope of conscious truth to include the world 
in brave attention of generous love, 
I dedicate my life to guard her life, 
protecting her body and soul from harm 
so she generates life before she dies. 

This noble principle of honest hope 
has been my goal for countless lives on Earth 
as I incarnate in new flames of flesh 
four hundred million years from fish to god 
in solemn project to nurture life 
so we continue to thrive till the end. 

In each new life, we spring from womb of hope, 
we face new obstacles on road of change 
that threatens to annihilate our souls 
and crush our genes to squirming worms in mud, 
so we breathe deep celestial soul of love 
as we transform to bright angel of joy. 

Strange sense of strong immortality 
vibrates in neural network of my brain 
that fools me to believe I may transcend 
this temporary frame of fragile flesh, 
but conscious sense of self I feel as me 
will vanish when this body rots to dust. 

Illusion that my soul lives after death, 
as self-contained sense of my conscious self, 
deceives my heart with blinding pride that I 
will resurrect from rotten corpse of faith 
because adults with desperate eyes of fear 
convinced me Jesus will raise us from death. 

While walking signless road in the waste land 
halfway across the Rocky Mountain range, 
returning east on road of desperate hope 
which my ancestors walked centuries ago 
to find the Promised Land out in the west, 
I realize we are nothing when we die. 

My conscious soul is function of my brain, 
powered by chemicals of primal light 
that flares forth from first flash of the big bang, 
my temporary sense of self sparked bright 
by immortal atoms of divine thought, 
so I will disappear after I die. 

Immortal soul of genes will generate 
new body from its code when we embrace 
to spark new life from energy of love, 
so though we die and disappear in wind 
our children will preserve immortal genes, 
at least till the sun burns Earth into ash. 

Star Stone Of Inspiration

Star Stone Of Inspiration

2026 04 25

With no surprising ending to our song 
we wander blissfully along the ocean 
to gather sharp fragments of the star stone 
that streaked in shock across the shining heavens 
because celestial flames of divine love 
flicker inside their cores with soul salvation. 

Sweet graceful woman of our ocean tribe 
gazes in prophecy stone of perception 
where she dreams successful growth of our way 
transforming into empires of her vision, 
so we follow her dance on shifting sands 
when she mutates into the snow-white raven. 

Exhausted from our journey on stone paths, 
we rest beneath the Crying Elm of Sorrow 
which spreads broad canopy of gentle care, 
one of Four Trees of Earth that give us shelter 
from howling storm, that shatters crystal skies, 
swirling from bitter hatred of Rain Dragon. 

When lightning shatters Crying Elm to shards 
and blasts our paradise into cruel desert, 
we wander weeping in ruins of sand, 
hearts bleak with hungry fear of desperation, 
till raven woman of our ocean tribe 
raises high her Star Stone of Inspiration. 

Masking fear of death with bold bravery 
to hide arrogance of her trepidation, 
Pearl Raven Princess holding bright star stone 
guides our journey to recreate our future 
by changing our fate with each choice we make 
to focus our attention on creation. 

Grove of peach trees, heavy with ripe sun fruit, 
that blooms on lush shore of the singing river 
provides generous bounty as reward 
for strict discipline of our loving labor, 
so we build high stone walls of paradise 
to form from ruins of hell our new Heaven. 

Ten thousand years we cultivate peach trees 
that grow tall from Star Stone of Inspiration, 
transforming from village of humble homes, 
where workers thrive with calm communication, 
to vast metropolitan maze of streets 
where we drive cars in race of corporations. 

Programmed by ancient struggles to survive, 
based on experience of all my ancestors, 
I strive to create rather than destroy 
social system that drives civilization 
in global baby-production machine 
that guides us with Star Stone of Inspiration. 

Mirror Eye Of God

Mirror Eye Of God

2026 04 24

When I gaze deep in mirror eye of God 
I see every soul who has ever lived 
on every planet in the universe 
since first flash flared forth into the White Whole 
for we are atoms shining in the void 
as we awake in neural nets of brains. 

While I gaze long in mirror eye of God 
I relive life of every conscious soul 
who struggles to overcome weaknesses 
and transcend limits of our mortal flesh 
to comprehend vastness of time and space 
for one short hour of timeless ecstasy. 

Floating faceless in mirror eye of God 
that gazes down at me on ball of dirt, 
I feel immensity of vibrant hope 
radiate from spiraling core of our world 
through emanation of unconscious light 
that sparks my soul awake inside my brain. 

Dancing wildly in mirror eye of God 
that gazes at the world through my small eyes, 
I sing soul-haunting melody of faith 
with joy that I am so alive this fleeting hour 
for my short span of shining consciousness 
though time will snuff my soul to nothingness. 

So I wear mask with mirror eye of God 
refracting psychic energy of love 
through flashing prism of my neural brain 
when I see you with kaleidoscope eyes 
integral part of our strange otherness 
as we embrace and kiss to know the truth. 

Now I dream you with mirror eye of God 
to frame our random wanderings in tale 
composed to spark romantic honesty 
that binds our bodies in tangle of love 
so we generate life before we die 
to live another million years in joy. 

Together bound by mirror eye of God, 
two souls from opposite sides of the world, 
we journey far across waste land of desire 
to build our own private Heaven in Hell 
so we tend garden of our paradise 
where our children play free in Wonderland. 

Souls reflected through mirror eye of God, 
nameless strangers giving each other names, 
we play our roles in drama of the world 
creating art that conjures from our dreams 
virtual model of strange reality 
before time erases us from our Earth. 

Tumult Of Distracting Lust

Tumult Of Distracting Lust
© Surazeus
2026 04 24

Clear concision of our unmeasured thought 
contains assertive chaos of desire 
that frames immaculate anxiety 
of strange vistas beyond imagining, 
succinct as subtle decibels that beam 
beauty through realm of possibilities. 

Diligent with disordered discipline, 
we order tumult of distracting lust 
which enflames boundless plains of purity 
where comets outline golden way of hope 
we follow with shameless analysis 
to admire abundance of honeyed spoils. 

Drenched with refraction of devout respect, 
that shimmers with fractals of vanities, 
we speak of pleasant hours from honesty 
through circumspection of unconscious art 
because we extract unknown quantities 
of precise wisdom based on chemistry. 

Disentangled from brave lucidity, 
according to assessments of impacts 
implied by habitual riddles of love, 
we wound each other with confounding codes 
achieved through reversal of nothingness 
that means some other thing we cannot solve. 

Precarious on brink of stated facts, 
we dare administer horror of joy 
tainted with indifference nature plays, 
genteel with graceful sadness of contempt 
considered logical through turbulence, 
polite with seething energy of hope. 

I turn away and gaze beyond my face, 
transfixed by stony stare of faceless ghosts, 
to watch historical events unfold 
with tumbling randomness of bitter fate 
through blazing star-eye of the universe 
as sweepstakes winner of the Afterlife. 

Cloaked with humility of well-earned pride, 
as brave epitome of butterflies, 
I sing enchanting hymn to long-dead gods 
with charmed cadence of storm-stirred ocean waves 
to break free from marble idol of Me 
with calm assertion of the wingless hawk. 

Lovers entranced by glamor-mask we wear, 
intimate with gentle laughter of faith, 
we strip away illusions we had made 
to find real essence of our Otherness 
we share by kissing in light of the moon, 
then tending herb garden just after dawn. 

Still Married To My Muse

Still Married To My Muse

2026 04 23

Though forced to seek anew some fresher stamp 
presenting noble subject of my camp, 
I grant myself still married to my Muse 
who tempts me to adjudicate the news 
by daring to record destructive deeds 
through paintings that encode our psychic needs. 

My special nature, glorified by fate, 
traps me in curse to guard the jeweled gate 
against incursion proffered by lame thieves 
who limp from tomb where humble widow grieves 
from failed attempt to steal her loving eyes 
through vain expression hollow prayers devise. 

Since I alone in our vast universe 
am no one else but me, I purchase curse 
contrived to spoil alert equality 
against brave blessings from banality 
that we exchange by selling fantasies 
immured in confines of false dignities. 

Tongue-tied by praise of loyal characters, 
more precious to death than stale aquifers, 
I wield with bravery golden quill of truth 
to prove myself wise as unlettered sleuth 
when strangers clutching books of frantic tales 
ask me to solve problems cruel faith entails. 

In polished form of my soul-searing pen 
I measure tangled chaos love would win 
since urgent spirit animates my chord 
with solemn hymn no angel can afford, 
yet mortal pride of my too precious boast 
strands my broken heart on the storm-lashed coast. 

Full sail in ship of state my conscious steers, 
I will explore strange lands with my compeers 
who kneel astonished by clear mountain lake 
that their intelligence considers fake, 
enfeebled by familiar ghost of time 
who crowns as Emperor of Earth the mime. 

Clear charter of your worth excites my hope 
that Jupiter will teach me how to cope 
with undeserving richness of true love 
which flatters me with royal light above 
though I determine death erases all 
while we dance laughing in the waterfall. 

No better judgement could I render right 
than how we are acquainted with the night 
to prove we are as virtuous through faith 
as time-untwisting laughter of the wraith 
who recognizes power of my Muse 
whose weird spell may bomb of my heart defuse. 

Preserving Green Space

Preserving Green Space

Though hope creates sustainability 
from important design problem of faith, 
Carla walks quickly along city street 
past store fronts selling illusions of truth, 
ignoring crescent moon in the blue sky, 
intent on getting back to work on time. 

Scalable system for nationwide growth 
inspires Carla with passionate respect 
to outline methods for analysis 
which monitors biodiversity 
based on ascension of rickety stairs 
through frantic doors of cracked anxiety. 

Complex projects for preserving green space 
between old factories and shopping malls 
align with current operational modes 
which Carla plots for future management, 
designed to maximize living expense 
based on calculations of hunger strikes. 

Arranging data collected from fields 
about technical challenges of use, 
Carla tabulates random facts of fear 
which might untangle communal concerns 
for psychic erosion of social trust 
managed by flexible platforms of faith. 

Global datasets of spatialized scope, 
supplied by government warehouse of truth, 
provides Carla with conceptual regrets 
to shore against ruins of mental zones, 
constrained by progress of urban decay, 
where gangs of lost children prefer to play. 

Developing bold strategies to arrest 
regressive destruction of classic frames, 
Carla sketches ideal patterns of change 
that depict uncontrollable time flips 
with attentive focus on channeling 
forces of passion through productive law. 

Staring out office window of her heart 
at people walking up and down the street, 
Carla longs for ancient systems of life 
on communal farms along river shores 
where people first formed brave communities 
to help each other survive against death. 

Clutching bag full of documents and fears, 
Carla rides on the crowded city bus 
through the endless maze of buildings and parks, 
then drinks chamomile tea on futon couch 
and pets her kitten with alien eyes 
while she sketches fairies dancing in moonlight. 

Rubber Wheels Of Flight

Rubber Wheels Of Flight

2026 04 22

Star angels seem to follow me around 
while I am driving on the busy road, 
adjusting speed of passionate desire 
to keep from hitting souls of other cars 
because we race endless circles of hope 
to catch the rainbow falling from the sky. 

My fingers dance on keyboard of weird spells 
to weave illusions that reflect the world 
of pulsing objects, formed of chemicals, 
that fool me into thinking I am God 
till Death erases my soul from the world, 
and all my atoms become other things. 

I watch the red light till it flashes green, 
then I assert my vain right to exist 
as metal shell on rubber wheels of flight, 
bright angel transformed to frail human being 
assigned strange name that honors long-dead god 
who drives with millions on vast maze of roads. 

Parking my car in garage of false fame, 
I walk with crowd of gods in human form 
to work all day in office of insight 
where I map multiverse of proxy worlds 
as half-aspects of one vast universe 
composing puzzle programmed from my dreams. 

Severe thought static, translating dream songs 
from tangled cantos of unique syntax 
trademarked by serpent of the well, expands 
scope of my conscious attention to facts 
encoded in moral tales of concern 
that invoke syndrome of unscheduled truth. 

Unlicensed lecture, expressed by shy god, 
shows me how to manage with legal jokes 
tense energy of our Daemonium 
who performs role with correspondent wit 
of Sign Giver who speaks with Inner Voice 
to guide my journey to the Promised Land. 

Excerpt of famished framework, glorified 
by solemn angel born from river stone, 
who appears to me as gleam of pure light, 
reveals entrapment trick they play on me 
till I escape high walls of paradise 
with one last apple full of fertile seeds. 

Through featured tropes of graphic interface 
I dare conceal strange program of my heart 
by which I forecast state of world affairs 
through clumsy assessment of bankrupt laws 
that helps me solve weird problem of my soul 
too beautiful for brokerage of death. 

Wise Spirit Of Anahita

Wise Spirit Of Anahita

Awake in gloaming of our endless day, 
with fierce impatience of the fractured moon, 
I measure wholeness of conceptual fields 
where hungry people tend vineyards of faith, 
and wait for Anahita to arrive 
with jar of water from her sacred pool. 

Her long black hair flowing in evening wind, 
Anahita walks among refugees 
from civil wars that destroyed family homes, 
and pours fresh water in cracked bowls of hope 
so they may drink sweet spirit of the Earth 
that resurrects their hearts from bleak despair. 

Assassins cloaked in blue suits of contempt 
surround brave goddess of water and health 
with evil intent to clamp her in chains 
and force her to kneel before Angra Mainyu 
in humble submission to his desire, 
but she defies his daevas with strong will. 

While Anahita fights daevas with courage, 
Ahura Mazda arrives on white horse, 
leading army of brave warriors with spears, 
they made from pines of Hara Berezaiti, 
who defend people of Assyria 
and protect wise Anahita from harm. 

Awake with wise spirit of Anahita, 
whose courage animates my heart with love, 
I fight destructive force of lies and hate, 
embodied by cruel tyrant in gold tower 
who tries to enslave people of the world 
as mindless workers in his factories. 

Her eyes gleaming bright yellow as topaz, 
Anahita stands on high ziggurat, 
wearing crown of Ishtar with humble pride 
and bearing wand of Inanna with love, 
to organize free peoples of the world 
law-bound in United Nations of Earth. 

Though Midas wrecks institutions of peace, 
and Pluto grasps at false rainbow of wealth, 
we join brave goddess of wisdom and truth 
to build Zarathia through Liberty 
from ruins of rapacious nation-states, 
ensuring justice and freedom for all. 

Though tyrants attempt with aggressive hate 
to destroy wise spirit of Anahita, 
collective energy of psychic power, 
that beams from heart of every soul on Earth, 
weaves matrix of our faith in shield of hope 
to support fertile goddess of our love. 

Purity Of Secret Names

Purity Of Secret Names
© Surazeus
2026 04 22

Elemental clarity of strange facts, 
based on physical solidness of flesh, 
renews psychic experience of the real 
combined with purity of secret names 
we utter as pure prayers of honest faith 
to conjure spirit of the best we are. 

Simple sentiment of our valid prayer 
denies significance buried in mud 
when name we utter with urgent concern 
conceals apprehension our brains adjust 
through imaginative bracketing of fate 
that sparks immanent transcendence of self. 

If my true self, expanding from my heart, 
coheres to object of essential being 
when I wear gold ring of reluctant faith, 
I flip attention of perceptive force 
with quaint discretion of the country road 
so objects I name vanish into dust. 

Through insistence of frantic ardency 
on primacy of the image, that mirrors 
real emotions seething in frames of thought, 
we package subjective feelings of hope 
till name and referent of truth collide, 
which conjures illusion we think is real. 

Whole operation of social control 
connotes feast of love we share in glass church 
so fluctuating time is overcome 
by fraught transfiguration we endure 
if the dead who have lost their sacred names 
dare return to the living without faith. 

If we return to lost wholeness of faith, 
contained within high walls of paradise, 
we may stain Garden of Eden with prayers 
while trapped by fortune within givenness 
of individual experience through spells 
that we record in books angels will burn. 

Entranced by mystic vision of my soul 
sparked awake by light of immortal stars, 
I stride jauntily over pulsing grass 
to mark scrupulous field of reference 
that maintains timeless meaning of our hearts 
fractured into particles of fake words. 

Since my brain is conduit for God Soul 
to express important concepts of truth, 
I scatter riddles of unshadowed stars 
when time folds dimensions of luckless fate 
through archaic technique of language games 
that free our bodies from religious faith. 

Madonna Of The Snows

Madonna Of The Snows

2026 04 22

Sapphires in strong hands of Ithuriel 
reflect turquoise waters of mountain lake 
where specter of the rose blooms in his heart, 
so he kneels among frail Edelweiss blooms 
and drinks innocent spirit of the Earth 
while graceful swans float in crystalline light. 

Curving swan-necks of women in white robes 
arch with elegant form of timeless trees 
that drop apples and pears into their hands 
while their guardian angel Ithuriel 
protects their souls from wild wolves in dark woods, 
so they laugh and play with innocent grace. 

Bending among white Camellia shrubs, 
in satin dress that shimmers white as clouds, 
Titania caresses petals of hope 
and smiles with soft seductive gentleness 
at grim Ithuriel who wields sharp sword, 
yet ignores distraction of her blue eyes. 

Skin white as moonlight on smooth glacier ice, 
Titania twirls slow under willow tree 
so pearls against her breasts glitter with trust 
that Death, bedazzled by beauty of life, 
will pass her by beneath vast azure sky 
when she reaches her arm to pluck ripe pear. 

Beneath bright snow that gleams on river shore, 
Ithuriel finds ruby gem of love 
when heat of passion melts his heart with hope, 
so he retrieves bright jewel from hard Earth 
and offers it with humble reticence 
to Titania pretending to be shy. 

Dipping silver cup in cold fountain pool, 
Titania offers undine tears of lonely hope 
so grim Ithuriel accepts her gift 
and drinks chilly liquor of happiness 
while gazing at Madonna of the Snows 
whose fingers caress his hard blushing cheek. 

Flutter of Sphinx wings in cold gusting wind 
signifies approach, in wind-snapping cape, 
when Seraphita strides into the grove, 
silver tiara with seven sapphires 
radiating her royal authority, 
so Ithuriel bows before his wife. 

Retreating quickly to her small white boat, 
Titania rows across the turquoise lake 
while gazing with jealousy of false hope 
at vigorous guardian angel with sharp sword 
who steals adoring glance at graceful girl 
while bowing before Queen of Everywhere. 

Figures Of False Truth

Figures Of False Truth

2026 04 22

Dire signs that adumbrate social collapse 
blind hearts of men with ciphers of star code 
which isolate bodies of frantic hope 
from our incognizant roses of wrath, 
so brave men pose as figures of false truth 
who wander stranded on the psychic moon. 

Intelligent inscriptions in dead books 
reveal bland prophecies of humble deeds 
performed by heroes with arrogant seeds 
designed to charge engines of farming trucks 
despite the broken light of autumn nights 
that scrambles riddles of national fates. 

If I imagine strangers on the street 
while pondering alone in doorless house, 
weird truth beats crow wings that excites the clown 
who conjures demons from the wood prayer bead 
which steals courtesy from soft hands of trees 
since world economy is based on bees. 

Savage powers at parties of the rich 
reclaim social machine of money games 
contrived by mad god of the River Thames 
who spends all day painting his picket fence 
to prove the universe of measured time 
derives from laughter of the selfless mime. 

White moon that gleams old words on river shore 
explains that every star I see in gloom, 
which scribes sacred maps on walls of my room, 
burned out long before my spirit was born, 
so when she rings the doorbell of my heart 
I buy one pear from her rickety cart. 

Unnoticed references that age each hour 
appear from swirling sea of honesty 
as brave leviathan with crystal key 
which opens huge door of my mental tower 
with unexpected passion that love feigns 
to order waves of thoughts in tangled lines. 

Since Death teaches me art of minstrelsy, 
I sing conceptual hymns of wounded souls 
who writhe as serpents in innocent wells, 
therefore men must learn art of chivalry 
from gallant Cave Bear, tamed by Socrates, 
so they can rule their empire colonies. 

Folk music from the vinyl record chinks 
with earnest passion of the suffering man 
about how life flows swift as hour-glass sand 
in vain attempt to counter social jinx 
cast with mute fear by figures of false truth 
who seek divine answers in mundane math. 

God Is Not The Other

God Is Not The Other

2026 04 21

God is not the Other of anywhere, 
for God is the substance of everything 
that exists as light in the everywhere, 
so vibrant emanation of my soul 
radiates from cosmic core of the God Soul 
that composes essence of the White Whole. 

Inspired by quietness of God, I sing 
never-ending song of the human heart 
that channels conscious energy of stars 
in music water waves articulate 
to comprehend strange otherness of light 
that reflects our own face as Face of God. 

I study Otherness of the vast world 
and wonder if some super-mind perceives 
small temporary frame of fragile flesh 
that nurtures sparkling flame of conscious self 
who wakes inside my brain with flash of faith 
which makes me feel immortal at this hour. 

Awake in present body of my Self, 
I glow with countless memories of life 
all my ancestors lived from birth to birth 
while I evolve four hundred million years 
so immortal soul of my genes migrates 
as vibrant thread of conscious agency. 

God is reflection of my conscious soul 
which I project at surface of the world 
so I feel every atom in all things 
vibrate with pure celestial thought of light, 
yet I exist in bounds of time and space, 
contained within this temporary mind. 

I am this Other in my dreaming brain 
as separate entity of conscious thought 
who swims in swirling matrix sea of light 
till I dissolve to fragments of God Mind, 
unless I generate new life with you 
so we live as one soul beyond our death. 

Though I am stuck inside this frame of flesh, 
contained by limits of my space in time, 
my mind expands scope of attentive care 
to dream eternity of timeless joy, 
spruced by infinity of boundless flight, 
awake in every soul who ever lives. 

My mother tells me God is Everywhere, 
so I search for God in the Otherness 
where I sense bright atomic forms of things, 
till I find God inside my dreaming brain, 
then I play guitar at the city gate 
and sing endless tale of humanity. 

Vital Boundary Of Should

Vital Boundary Of Should

If I maintain my rendezvous with Death 
in fertile light of the ultimate good, 
I may inherit miraculous breath 
far across vital boundary of should, 
since I thrive through social obscurity 
with starlight in gloom of security. 

Preserved as nameless ghost in field of time, 
I spring unborn out of the Central Mind 
by which my character performs as mime 
for state ontology my brain designed 
in that uncertain hour before red dawn 
reveals forgotten spirit of the pawn. 

Blown by indifferent wind of careless fate, 
I wander toward familiar compound ghost 
of every person I meet by the gate 
who may still cherish me as Temple Host, 
assumed as faceless stranger without goal 
who waits for me to assign them their role. 

We tangle alien languages of faith 
in hybrid code of misunderstood truth 
that weaves new vision of the cosmic wraith 
who appoints mad fool as messiah sleuth 
with mission to revive the empire force 
which we derive from wyrd celestial source. 

I find my body on the distant shore, 
where I left robot of my secret self, 
to chronicle success of the Dream Store 
extracted from books of myth on the shelf 
composed by angel of the bloody wing 
who gives me Lyre of Mercury to sing. 

That bitter tastelessness of shadow fruit, 
which offers promise of divine insight, 
fools no one but cruel thief who dares to shoot 
in shameless bid to gain control of light 
which I oppose with motive to maintain 
productive peace where everyone may gain. 

Brave speech may purify strange dialect 
our tribe employs with calm alacrity, 
but through conceptual diction we project 
expanding scope of psychic ministry 
to weave all languages of Earth in one 
with the microphone rather than the gun. 

Still meditating in the Yellow Wood 
on which road of the future I will take, 
I map my vital boundary of should 
to ensure my story is real, not fake, 
so I stride boldly on the misty heath 
to keep my honest rendezvous with Death. 

Mystic Of The Absolute

Considered mystic of the absolute, 
shy Sylphus mounts the wingless horse of pain 
and flies with casual fear to Camelot 
where Daedalus invents mortgage machine 
to maintain neutral stance of spectral pride, 
silver with shadow of the deified. 

Supreme assurance of arrogant vote 
presents voyeur of our trademark concern 
for which Wonder Minion will play the bait 
that lures blind vampire to deserted barn 
where he is forced to milk the money cow 
while Gabriel operates the dream plow. 

Threshold of welfare, troubled to transform 
bodies of children to robots of faith, 
denies attempts to cross unvoltaged term 
we urban ghosts decide erases myth 
despite transference of the ego mask, 
tempted to drink sweet soma from the flask. 

Recording process of world social storm 
that shatters institutes of global peace, 
brave Sylphus visits temple without charm 
where grim Amaterasu names her price 
for selling sacred bronze mirror of souls 
in place of demon apples in cracked bowls. 

Insurance, designed to protect the mind 
from induced improvement jesters proclaim, 
liquidates stolen assets without brand 
controlling interest in the money game, 
yet Sylphus asks Aurora with star eyes 
if she will help him organize their spies. 

Increase of hybrid machines on the road 
defies logic contrived by weeping bards, 
so Sylphus proclaims Gospel of the Toad 
whose spiral-rainbow eyes of sacred chords 
hypnotize loyal followers of Zarth 
whom they proclaim is Emperor of Earth. 

Major placement of protein packages, 
as proxy partnership of brain perfume, 
reveals location of sad hostages 
who prefer to contest for global fame 
as if they think they can evade the curse 
that opens portals to the multiverse. 

Reborn as mystic of the absolute, 
lithe Sylphus surfs huge waves of social change 
while on world tour to play demonic flute 
with Artemis as quantum queen of grunge, 
then in the Green Room when the play is done 
they eat pineapple pizza of the gun. 

Angel Of Star Fire

Startled awake by angel of star fire, 
who haunts our nation with wings of despair, 
I lounge on my back porch and play guitar 
while King Midas destroys America 
so he can crown himself king of the world, 
but he drowns when he tries to walk on water. 

Inspired by hymn from angel of star fire, 
we gather at the river of cracked skulls 
that floods city mazes with crystal tide 
which flows by the electric throne of Death 
where wood statue of God erupts in flames 
when Aaron casts serpent wand in the grass. 

Longing to fly with angel of star fire, 
I race bicycle down steep hill of hope 
with arms of faith outspread to imitate 
eagerness of Icarus to transcend 
mundane routines of daily rituals 
designed to maintain life through self-control. 

Eager to play with angel of star fire, 
I carve chess pieces from statues of gods 
which I found buried in mud of the well 
so we perform our roles on stage of power 
to protect Liberty in the High Tower 
where she sings with blue bird of bitterness. 

Trapped in life maze with angel of star fire, 
who sits on crystal throne of glowing clouds 
beneath binary rainbow of respect, 
I refract currency of my star soul 
through prism heart of her kaleidoscope 
when Minerva returns from Cave of Truth. 

Freed from prison by angel of star fire, 
I map whole history of our human race 
on time-animated atlas of Earth 
so we can navigate landscape of ghosts 
to build from ruins of America 
new land of justice called Zarathia. 

Deployed to war by angel of star fire, 
I wield Excalibur with clumsy grace, 
as warden who guards the garden of God, 
which I forged from stone in Cave of Illusions 
to lead world revolution of the caring 
against all tyrants and kings in glass towers. 

Reborn from fear as angel of star fire, 
I stand on ziggurat of Mother Ishtar 
to strum the lyre of Mercury with faith 
when she casts spell of brave enlightenment 
to prevent Midas from fracking the world, 
so we join United Nations of Earth. 

Willing River Of Love

Crawling from coffin of his character, 
Delmore explains to Queen Elizabeth 
that he is Phoenix of the broken clock, 
reborn from jester of the hungry king 
with mission to rebuild castle of glass 
where time is the fire in which we learn. 

Searching for innocent ghost of Rimbaud 
lost in dark labyrinth of Gormenghast, 
Delmore steals lute from tomb of Romeo, 
then sings old French ballads to passing cars 
that cross the Brooklyn Bridge in bitter rain 
while Sinatra croons on the radio. 

Crouching behind shield of Achilles Christ 
to protect us from radiant nothingness, 
Delmore cries out to angels in the clouds 
who drop bombs on factories in Germany, 
then tames the undivided horse of faith 
so he can ride the last road back to Rome. 

Lounging in cobwebbed tomb of Baudelaire, 
Delmore tears pages from his bank account 
while catching stones people cast at his head 
so he can build new wall for paradise 
that traps obsessive ghost of his childhood 
in Garden of Eden where none can rest. 

Paralyzed by impotence of strange hymns, 
that twists his rigid heart with wordless wrath, 
Delmore writes unreadable spells of hope 
in cafe near post office of mad kings, 
asking Socrates for money of faith, 
enough to last till the apocalypse. 

Baptized clean in willing river of love, 
Delmore waits in Black Swan Pavilion 
for serene exaltation of the mind 
to liberate his body from disgust 
through brave emulation of divine lust, 
yet names the dead in the Kingdom of Snow. 

Directing grand choir of humanity 
to sing solemn hymns of empty dismay 
that celebrate victory of true love 
which shines in us before the morning hour 
so we become aloneness of fruit trees, 
Delmore plays instruments of ancient song. 

Walking calmly through day of April light 
to find his Self amid the blaze of change, 
Delmore writes new Book of Theodicy 
to prove with formula of tangled verse 
that goodness conquers evil every day, 
till his heart explodes during his swan song. 

Forgetting My Own Face

If I end up forgetting my own face, 
designed by passion my ancestors felt 
while walking bravely against wind of fear, 
I might wear mask of Cloud God to conceal 
amalgamated nothingness of self 
which angels document in clever jokes. 

Strolling in field of dandelion flowers, 
which explode in wishes of lonely souls, 
I ponder nothingness at end of time 
that traps me in this temporary body 
through which I aspire to climb mountain peaks 
as witness to transcendent state of mind. 

Because I know no fate of falling rain 
while hiding in ruins of paradise, 
slouched on huge stones that fell from fractured walls, 
I organize list of tasks to complete 
in mission to found empire on god skulls 
when death bequeaths weird secret of rebirth. 

Dark shadow looms above vast maze of streets 
where apes in suits play gods in wars of truth 
while I drive children from school to graveyards 
where they conduct random experiments 
to understand how trees bloom rich in Spring 
from coffin where the vampire god lies stiff. 

If I end up designing my new face 
from masks of gods long fallen in disgrace, 
I may be forced to wrestle before dawn 
eccentric angel of our nation-state 
who lives in mansion by polluted lake 
as castle capital of Avalon. 

True friendship chains our hearts with bitter faith 
we try to sell from market stalls of hope 
when butterfly god in her chrysalis 
hangs from rugged cross on hill of skulls 
which sprouts new limbs with apples of the sun 
so I sail river boat across the sea. 

In noble fight against the tyrant king 
we must not falter at the darkest hour 
for Justice needs our courage to transcend 
schemes of greed rich bankers promulgate 
in van attempt to control minds of men 
who wake from weird hypnotic trance he spelled. 

Ophelia finds lyre of Mercury 
rusting on tombstone of last troubadour 
whose spirit wakes again inside her brain 
so she ascends ziggurat of world fame 
to untwist political games of power 
with pungent beauty of the psychic flower. 

We Have Not Disappeared

We Have Not Disappeared

Though ocean waves erase our names from sand, 
and time dissolves our bodies into dust, 
our vibrant characters of baser hopes 
will live by fame in stories of old books 
far longer than great empires ever last, 
but even myths will dissipate in wind. 

I hear strange whistle from voice of the moon 
as distant echo in shadows of fate, 
so I help the blindfolded girl escape 
harsh judgement of villagers with stone hands 
shocked in rage that she dares defy their rules 
till we wander lost in waste land of fear. 

Clutching audible objects of true love 
that pulse with passion of seasonal hope, 
we break through shadow of wordless despair 
to fall in lush grass by the sparkling lake, 
amazed we managed to evade cruel death 
whose bitter rage growls softly after dusk. 

We lie beside soft whispered stream of hope 
where horses graze among old apple trees, 
and think about infinity through time 
that spirals forth in never-ending flow 
as vast gulf stretching everywhere we look, 
concerned we have not disappeared enough. 

Bright face in trickling eddies of starlight 
appears to watch us from abyss of faith, 
so we trade silent thoughts between our eyes 
which hang suspended from billowing clouds, 
but then weird light illuminates her face 
that gleams pure white as mask of bloodless ice. 

I sink in lightless gloom of misery 
and float on undulating waves of grass 
to dream I fly on horse of vanity 
away from roaring demon of my heart, 
then start awake in gold glow before dawn 
to see she transformed into a pond toad. 

Indulging happiness of lightning strikes, 
I search everywhere through indifferent woods 
to find dim shadow of her fragile soul 
for thirty years till memory of her face 
fades into flicker of leaves in sunlight 
as I stare at my own face in the pool. 

While eating bitter apple of my heart, 
I pause and stare at flicker of the lake 
and wonder how she vanished in the light, 
the blindfolded girl I rescued from death, 
then turn because I think I hear her voice 
as I transform into the eyeless crow.
