Sisyphuis

Illusory veils
Blankets upon the mind
Capturing up moments
imprisoned fireflies
Heed the warmth of flicker-flame
As awareness becomes fire
Fuel for the journey
Coals of desire

In the depths
February 12, 2014
Telling a story made of lies
to bring about awe and surprise
Does the three seconds of laughter justify
the ingrained solicitation?
Now that the crowd has lulled
what next will be revealed
to fulfill ones’ empty need?
Or is it just the opposite?
Is it a covering over of the uncertain and the unknown?
For true death comes from surrendering the cyclic process of thought.
Pushing away all discomfort and uncertainty; aggression
Pulling and grasping that which makes a sense of security; passion
Endlessly oscillating, thinking it will bring about happiness; ignorance
Is it not below the current where stillness brings about clarity?
In the darkness; the disorientation; the fear…
In the depths where stainless love has always been.

Entrance
February 6, 2014
Are these grooved things not fit for better things?
They that tell a lifetime
Speak of evolution
Are they to be employed by illusion?
Twisting and turning
Bending and burning
Forging and fusing particles of the past
This dust cannot take form once more
And if this Vegas show would once more perform
surely its sights and sounds would betray
These distant images arise not from depths of clarity
But are summoned by the minions of longing
How true the air is striking the skin, now, at this perfect hour
Waste no more and wash these gifts at last
Let dust be dead as it is
Are these hands meant for disabled clutching?
For enduring the ritualistic death that fear brings about?
Let joints breath again and open to the world
Sounding pulsing instruments of awakened life
These beautiful extensions of love and gentleness;
To reach out
To touch
To pull oneself and also another upright into liberating posture
How true they move when the heart pulsates through these veins
How true the air is striking skin, now, at this perfect hour

Still places
January 30, 2014
Fix the light bulb at night
sampling midnight air just right
fur-covered explorers striding elegantly about
while skin speaks with eloquence
Red, red embers attract the wind
the end of death, breathing begins
bright blue lover with a beautiful caress
emptiness granting romance
Altering to remain the same
counting cracks on the ceiling again
flow of heat showing all the lost places
flow of love, perfected spaces
Flowers bend a knee
notes made of dreams
a time without memory
a place made to feel

All to be
January 14, 2014
To sit in silence;
slowing down
thoughts losing speed
even more importantly, losing substance
Allowing all to be as is;
the tense neck
the fear of the unknown
the unassigned love
To walk as human;
to feel a heavy heart
experiencing uncertainty
knowing all is fleeting

Scentless eyes
February 3, 2011
What do you know of death
In the moments that are crushed beneath your feet
When have you ever felt its breathe
Too busy ignoring, juggling your social feats
Life is the stale of the dead break
Time without options and endless wake
Burnt timbers sting within the nostrils
But yet you never wake
What do you know beyond death
The space that quivers and shrills for no requested audience
When have you let every last drop fall
Feeling true sadness from the depths of our mothers’ chest
In low light, there is ember
Tow baskets of hell and pleasure
What do I know of never being born
Dancing in a place that cannot be denied nor grasped
When have I stepped blindly into the void of concept
Simply, being human
