Without a Spider


You see? And there, there are it was. 

Yet, there are not you see.


#poetry #meditation #poets #poems #zen



Like the stadium devotee
The faces of the facing attending
Standing as the settee sitting
A single sound from the whispers now roars
Like a song.

Patched together pounding air
A kaleidoscope of sewn quilts
A uniformed blanket from the patterns
Like a dance.

So here is the coloured music of a symphony
Rolling the ties together a net, a web
We know from our distance there are so many
All like single stitches
Without a spider.

Pins of sound highlighting light
The very sound of it covers as a blanket sewn
Brightness strung together inside of spaces
Netted with hollow places and tied rhythms vibrating Without a theme
Like a storm.

Al-ice 0


zero is the never knowing 
nothing 
how much is gone 
she wants what she gets
beginning once again
from a plank 
empty

naught are the intimations
vacant 
so full are presence
she desires what she wants
anew in want of renewal
lightly standing 
open

before her always vistas
chasms
free flight in all directions
she possesses in her open embrace
the eternal internal 
on tip toes
leaping

Ssummer's Ssails


mind
sense softer silence
smooth sliding shimmering sails
sweet summer sleet's sprays
body
setting suns solace
shimmering soft sliding sounds
summer's showerings
spirit
sprouts now from within
season's setting summer sun
shades eternity

CHEESE AND CHOCOLATE

#poems #poets #writing #cheese # chocolate




cheese and chocolate



grind and melt
mixes dairy
mixes felt
touched by tastes we can only know from inside

smooth and silky
wondering touch
wondering felt
always by tastes we can only take in

milk and bean
magic liquid
magic pods
tastes touched always as what we become

cheese and chocolate
made loves
made joys
filling from desires touched by taste

word


“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.” 
― Charles Bukowski




“Happy. Just in my swim shorts, barefooted, wild-haired, in the red fire dark, singing, swigging wine, spitting, jumping, running—that's the way to live. All alone and free in the soft sands of the beach by the sigh of the sea out there, with the Ma-Wink fallopian virgin warm stars reflecting on the outer channel fluid belly waters. And if your cans are red hot and you can't hold them in your hands, just use good old railroad gloves, that's all.”
Jack Kerouac

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” Jack Kerouac

view from above


cannot keep her on a pedestal 
if he keeps her on her back
woeful as winter
this standing lack

a woman cannot see
no vision from below
woeful as winter
this standing lack

he's facing into the ground
his eyes useless appendages
woeful as winter
this standing lack

woeful as winter
this standing lack
useless appendages 
and she on her back

beauty haiku series


you are not ugly
there is no truth for you there
you are your own spring

your inner voice sings
there is summer on your lips
and beauty inside

carpeting your heart
its magic colours your life
autumn is your warmth

no winter can change
if beauty is how you live
beauty is your gift
