Bird Call

Bird Call

In the pool of sweet addiction I swim

This kissing elixir that’s my gilt

And it affects me with waves of guilt

My wreckage of emotions that tear at life’s quilt

I’m in a desert of my mind’s making

My bedrock’s a tested savior

This dictatorship that keeps me prisoner

Freedom’s a barrier to break thru’, yet I resist

What decided this prison of no bars?

My cowardice, my ignorance, my weakness that leaves scars

Encompassed in fear that stops me

Torment is my courage to face this mirror illuminating me

Close to an edge of insanity in reality

Never surrendering while watching the sands of time

They run before me and I know what to do

My strength has to be cold turkey true

And That

And That

The empty space where I imagine you’d be

My ardent wish you’d be next to me

Face to face I’m as silent as a tree

Why can’t you hear the inner cry I have for thee?

I look into your eyes when you say my name

Perhaps it’s my imagination that I witness a flame

Are we unspoken ends of an attraction vibration?

Do you too feel the sadness that hits like a thunder sensation?

Your long legs, blond hair and delicate facial lines

Blue eyes so gentle but I see the remnant’s of life’s wines

Your sadness’s a resignation because you’ve seen decades

But that’s an illusion conjured by ads

It’s good to ignore other’s views and absorb your reality

Prettiness that shines with intelligence, your sweet chimes

Music and whimsy in what you photograph, your art

Worthwhile’s your humanness and it brings me happiness

Beyond Genesis

Beyond Genesis

Mixing your metaphysics leads to a berserk circus

It nixes reality which’s an objective physicality and not a cus

The laws of reality are found throughout all galaxies

Collisions echo between civilizations that come and go

Reflect and witness where you are and want to be

To rise out of the civilization zero category

But that takes self-realization and the abandonment of smug self-centered religiosity

That we’re not unique and must seek the planetary

There’s no such direction as inevitability

It all depends on desire, intention and intellectually

The jump from zero to planetary civilization is solar energy

For energy’s the pathway to life and happiness from Liberty

The smallest wheel affects the greatest engineering capability

Do you see now how vital is Individualism?

That only thru’ freedom politically is happiness the protoplasm

For when your values are met, you’re futurism

Tic-tac Tail

Tic-tac Tail

The fear that resides deep in the psyche side

That all we’ve been told isn’t correct at all

Fear in the adults’ faces as their ground turns to quick sand

In an instant of truth, disclosure that Man’s uniqueness is a myth

Once believed that earth was the center

Then horror struck that the universe expands at a cosmic canter

Galaxies abound and planets in the millions surround

Man’s arrogance and that deflating sibilant sound

Its realization, when the most trusted of organizations admit

Earth’s visited by those to whom we’re mired in an ignorant pit

Tell the pilots who witnessed that their minds deceive

That what flew for all to see and hovered out at sea’s their deceit

But reality frightens, so better to hide and keep the pretence

Alas, politicians blamed actually reflect their voters’ insouciance

But at last, a light shines that was once cloaked

Alas, Mankind’s mind’s still in superstition and religion soaked

Ode to Albert

Ode to Albert

Uncovering the mysteries of the universe

He taught us that energy is mass

He discovered splitting the atom was a bomb

So indirectly saved ten of thousands of Americans from the tomb

Yet even what’s used for good is double-edged

Evil like good exists and the earth is scarred and etched

The cold war arose with hot spots

But the fever was contained because of Albert’s math

Now still the world shivers and shakes

Dictators seek hegemony with nuclear weapon stakes

Moral courage in Liberty is the required virtue

With Leaders in Freedom needed to vanquish the evil shrew

Never listen to those that condemn the ballistic missile

Their error condemning the nuclear weapon is futile

It protects and saves the free from being life exiles

Stopping the human evil intention is the winning guile

Aphrodite’s Angel

Aphrodite’s Angel

The frustrations squeeze her mind

She’s not cared about loving or kind

The urge’s her desire to be taken and tied

That day she noticed the scratch made her tingle, accursed innocence died

At school she watched for the glint of a kinky mind to screw

So few yet she saw one or two

But she wanted something far beyond this kneeling pew

He bit her lip and electricity shorted thru’

In the world of the Cotton or Kit Kat club ‘twas easy to undo conventional

This chain of psyche satisfaction, into the connected medium of physical expression

A man on the edge of a blade that held her as his slave

But weakness just below the surface, she’d turn viciously and he’d become her knave

She love’s to look at the scars from night

She love’s to feel the satisfaction that frustration had withheld terribly tight

She sees the colors of her soul in blessed black and cursed white

Inhibitions gone, her contented screams can be heard from the dungeon of the sexual knight

No Vanilla Shakes

No Vanilla Shakes

Humanity’s stupidity is that fear of individual Liberty

Frightened Man that enters the world believing he’s damned

And ruled from the grave by those metaphysically depraved

There’s always the specter schism ‘twas schizophrenic vision

But catastrophes of melting mountains and deadly collisions

Caning the Earth and drowning out urgent incantations

No forgiveness in the rapids of the flood

Shocked and cowering humans seeing their blood

Wishing, hoping trying to fathom

Why they’re unanswered in this storm

Unknown to them the deity’s deist

Nothing instantaneous but a process from star dust

Now still those wait for the promised arrival

To save them from themselves in their bizarre religious riddle

But, it’s their reasoning mind given to mankind

Therein resides what they’ve been waiting for, stars always aligned

Day Dream Reality

Day Dream Reality

See the “moons” sashay, moving

Sunshine smiles rising and eyes following

Lifts all keels that are dragging

Eye candy’s the sweetest giving

In this world crassness is living

Beauty on the fringes may be personal

But true beauty, pretty and sexy is neutral

It captivates all and enriches your soul

Inspiration’s a gift to all

You see the ideal and your id makes the call

To strive to be what’s seen in your “third eye”

That dimension of human is a holy tie

Did you catch the glint in the second glance as she went by?

Perhaps the look of desire his face made fly?

This substance of happiness that kisses your ego

Touches from Cupid’s love Psyche who defeated Mighty Aphrodite

The Constant

The Constant

Is destiny for scorn or a big yawn?

As the butterfly flutters its wings

Ramifications appear on the roundabout or swings

Uncertainty’s reality and humanity pretends

The safety barrier against this is love

It neutralizes the anxiety like peace’s dove

By chance or design there’re those burdened

Outside the warmth they’re forged into hardened

Yet, they long too to not be the unlucky few

They stare at each other with emotions

Not knowing how to jump life’s pew

For so long have they kneeled

In constant silent communion

The never ending prayer

This battered ironclad soul in faith

Mistakes maybe, but certainty is their prize

State of Being

State of Being

Dreams are wishes for reality

Reality produces incongruity

Incongruity’s the friction and burns

Burns capriciously dislocate plans

Reaction’s the fuel of emotions

Emotions that drive anger and stultify

Stultify’s the illuminator of character

Character’s the strength of your heat shield

I THINK and, the resultant your bedrock

Bedrock the core that holds and defends

Defends your ability never to crack

Never to crack leads to the living of You

Your mind’s the safest place to hide

Hide from the steps of courage

Courage the energy that connects to happy

Happy the State of Being rational humanity seeks

Afterglow’s Only Light

Afterglow’s Only Light

In the fall from manic into the wreckage dungeon

You see yourself in the light of truth

For there’s no lying when your soul’s shredding

That screaming sound’s its worth

And listening to those wishes, hopes, regrets and pleasures

They holler out as you’re headed once more for that bedrock

But there’s terror maybe it’ll crack

You know that day can trigger no coming back

There’s only cold in the shiver of abandonment

Lonely world of a soul in pain and there’s no salve or contain

So all you have is a world without certainty

The essence of human frailty, looking for warranty

Sometimes it’s slow to reach bedrock’s fold

The core of you emotionally that holds and holds

At the bottom feeling small surges of lifting

The sadness that drags into the manic once more is grifting

Untangled

Untangled

Those dratted days when all you do is get thru’, one step after the other

Al day your mind screams where’s the vermouth, elixir cocktail or another

Self-destruction built into the human

You can’t see the battles that are the struggles of others within

This rising whine splits the mind from religion

And morality, that self-righteous vitality’s the sin

For who declares the standard to force you in?

Mind outside and emotion within

Belief, the incorrigible motivator that destroys rational faith

Are these all contradictions that collide like two trains on a common path?

Perhaps the schizophrenic machinations like a maniacal laugh

For religion like humanism paints Utopia too as wealth

So where to, in order to rescue you and find faith’s peace?

Rather is the rational view that coincides with reality and historically

That the chain is one of light, existence, since God ordained commensurately

Deep faith and living rationally, the Deist kiss that settles you mentally

Mothers’ Lead

Mothers’ Lead

Does she know you or only see you?

For some, mother’s a fleeting glance

For others it’s a life long dance

She had the goodness to birth your sorry ass!

The years go by and she’ll teach you never to cry

To build your mind strong and resilient

For there’re many in this life who’re weak and fearful

They take pleasure in making others equally pitiful

You’ve only one mater, don’t seek to replace her

Be a man that seeks a wife not another mother or you’ll find strife

She’ll teach you to let go and cut those apron strings

To be someone she showed how to make all seasons springs

And when she’s gone, you’ll wish she’d known you

Risk everything with her for she’s why you breathe

And never forget she’s a woman

Don’t be a rat fink and think she’s less because of that

Chelsea in Chelsea

Chelsea in Chelsea

Artistic sadness is vehemently profound

Drives you into a harsh ground

Sounds heard are the suffering of mankind

Resonating waves from death’s grind

Do you remember Dylan Thomas’ path to self-destruction?

From him came light and amazing grace

A foundation of tears that give strength to those who hear

Is this not God’s ironic way to cheer?

Chelsea, that neighborhood, is New York City’s dear

The poets, writers, playwrights and performers the world fears

Walk the streets and the hotel Chelsea beckons

A living celebration of aesthetics free of anesthetics every second

This was the jaunt of Thomas, Marilyn and artistic others

Witness this dark red brick building that remembers

Feel the vibrations that remind

It’s my reluctant and willing artistic soul sound

Individualism is Liberty

Individualism is Liberty

Beware the shifts in meanings of words

In academic places where subversive lurks

Leftist is an admission of guilt

To destroy individualism and tear apart Liberty’s quilt

Words and ideas that stray from right to your life

Where “equal” and “justice” becomes codes for collectivist strife

Equal never means dispersing from others

Justice is always a metaphysical course

But words are abstract formation of ideas

Twisted and turned they’ll revolutionize

Their basis has to be the same as science

A foundation of rational observation and reality’s stance

And Liberty lives where she’s free to be herself

To speak and act without ropes and chains or anybody else

Laissez-faire and laissez-passer frighten those afraid of the mind

But those terms are the intellectual saviors of mankind

Finesse

Finesse

Midget Minds and their need to loudly chime

But their sound has no rational rhyme

Finesse has been abandoned and that’s a crime

From the fissure that bellows smugness all the time

To look into the gray clouds and see the rainbow so pretty

Humbleness is required, the virtue of integrity

It keeps honesty reflected in your eyes, that’s gravity

Out on the wild plains of Texas you witness yourself, just ask the Apache

I decide my own soul, that connection to the universe

Dead souls switch off the music because they’ve tuned out, they’re averse

Education has abandoned reason and recognizing reality

We’re not alone in the universe; we’re the bad neighbors in the galaxy

You know the story to stop and appreciate sans vanity

Awareness is the gift granted only to humanity

Time urges to live passionately

Happiness is indulging all you’ve discovered, constantly

When Good Rhythms

When Good Rhythms

Feel the dratted slide as it sidles up beside

Rhythms of the intellectual, emotional and physical we ride

Nothing’s a perennial straight line but curves are forever

They take you high and kick you low on a tether

For there’s no escape other than maybe Vermouth

And that’s only imaginary with a headache uncouth

Yesterday was chipper and you sailed from roof to roof

You were a powerhouse of positivity and knew all truth

But now melancholy has come to stay, wrecking the day

Irritation to hatred on what was happy way

Mistakes and puzzlement make work a fray

Your bio-rhythms have crashed into Human Bay

Dragging thru’ the mud now dredging your life

Desperately searching feeling sanity’s on the edge of a knife

Good rhythms gone bad is a bromide so trite

This limbo in life’s the dance until once more good’s light

Invisible Sounds

Invisible Sounds

In everything there’s life

Vibrations are the elements of light

This mathematically bound universe

Logic’s language song and verse

The difference metaphysically is visibly seen

Life and consciousness are the themes

Humans the highest form of being

Awareness of existence and dying

Emotions and feelings then are different means

Generated by thoughts and vibrating strings

Does this knit the universe’s question?

Perhaps the missing link between gravity and relativity

Then love’s an emotion but works according to connections felt

Immediately or gradually falling is the time taken for connecting

Sexual attraction another level that springs into action

These two combined and we have besotted devotion

Intellect Saved

Intellect Saved

To witness innocent life that’s going to die

Illuminates religion’s damned lie

Then the sound of genocide’s cry

Humanity figures there’s no Catcher in the Rye

But persistent rites infuse emotions

Hope denying the light of doubt

Confusion results and minds swoon

Swooping demagogues like vengeful dragoons

And now cracked psyches triggering tabula rasa

A shock to the mind creating mental salsa

Is the turn leftward or rightward to be homeward bound?

That safe harbor like a mother’s kiss where all’s safe and sound

Now beware of the united ideologies that care

Hugging groups that gather smiling declaring fair

The only truth to freedom and sanity is individualism

I think for myself with reality and reason my mechanism

Grindstone

Grindstone

The winter of emotions is the depths of misfit

The Middle-East’s a cauldron constantly under its own threat

Look around and see the deranged soliloquies

Common sense something that blows out to see

Steeped in religion and the yoke of ancient tradition

Mindset of the metaphysically confused dealing with modern ambition

Temperaments of the irrational, it’s seminal

A sense of humor’s viewed as a racket and a feud

What’s this face mask that frowns in subterfuge?

Like the desert sands that blow and swirl like a natural centrifuge

Never be fooled it’s merely inscrutable

My eyes’ tendency to be weak and vulnerable like a Western dirigible

But thru’ my confusion I witness light in the midst

Is a country like Israel a mirage in the desert?

For freedom punches like a battering ram

A slither of Land with tough attitude and an outstretched hand

Bibi’s Cat

Bibi’s Cat

In time it’ll all be gone, what you see now being done

Time’s the connection between galaxies in the form of civilization

This discovery that’s relative and significant to all

But reality’s the unbending unemotional

Yet emotion’s a powerful call

There’s happiness to not knowing for sure

Imagination, belief and doubt make reality demure

And at your peril break that shining star

Nonetheless, truth’s the noblesse

Reality objective and with oblige

So reveal all in stark light and destroy belief

The resultant is a vector that never brings relief

Schrödinger sits high and smiles from afar

It’s taken Netanyahu to crack open what wasn’t even ajar

The cat’s very much alive

But alas too many in the world would have taken a dive
