What Would Sylvia Plath Do

Deny Deny Deny the owls talons

Embrace your weirdness.
Above all else this is your true expression. Harboring harbingers steal knives in the night that mock the very lines of your jugular. There is no balance of peace and emotional irregularity.

Blue vapours pass through lace and ivory, breeding within the very marrow of your bone. If you are as I, escape whilst you can and “blissfully succumb to the whirling blackness that I honestly believe is eternal oblivion”.

Deny Deny Deny the owls talons. The false barrage of Baal’s lightening transfixed upon your cranium.

There is no pleasure, even the ghosts of consciousness that hide in the recesses of nocturnal reality release the pain, of the insane the little moments that weigh you down again and again. You’re going to drown so… take control.

Change the deciding narrative with a mask of a jester’s intent. Fool the foolish as you are the fool with dissident distraction detachment.

Kool Kool play by the rules, outward appearances make normal comfortable and secure. Is it too late…. Is it to late
is my fading voice echoing from it’s final resting place of my stainless steel sarcophagus.

Bound with words the everlasting mark that I rise from the grave as Lazarus has, to walk this earth forever. In study halls and private libraries even in the aether living  online omnipotence, larger than I ever had before, I still can’t escape…. life for all it’s worth.

Be your own agent of your own agency. Be true to you and what you need to decide by listening to that still silent voice within…
You Know the one… From the source, That Source of course , coming in three, thine trinity… You Will find yourself walking among the shadows where others have fallen…..

Ask your self, if This
is what you want ….
To be pull at the final thread
of your spiritual will
that tethers you …
To the All

Irina Eclipse

Daughter of Eternity

With the eclipse
Light and darkness
Equals
Brother and sister dance
Holding moments
Before passing
Stars
Mars
Venus
Scars
Meeting in
Universal
Intervals
Spinning
Each caught
In the throws
Of gravitational pull
Daughter of Eternity
Illuminated child of
Shadows
She breathes
Exists
Within two
Worlds
The black
The white
The knowledge of
Eternity
She

Is magnificent
Pulling tides
Controlling minds
With subtle motion
Madness takes sanity
The forgotten goddess
Worshipped by tribes
Beyond the sun
Sacrifices made
In her name
Ziggurat of Ur
Olmec pyramids
Ceremonial dancing
Blood letting
Creatures of the night
The balance of life
And
Death
She is the princess
The queen
Between worlds
She
Is
Irina
The goddess
Of
Duality
Life
Blood
And
Moon

The Early Years’90-’91

Things Were MagicK back then



I remember Alice and Brian coming back from Lodge meetings at the Thelema mystery school, where Crowley had started a movement based on MagicK. Wendy, Brian, Alice and I would watch Tiny Toons and I remember a very odd movie interpretation of Alice In Wonderland made in Checkzlevokia called Alice. Pretty much the freakiest movie ever made!!!! Things Were MagicK back then. The Brats, The Glamour Punks, Juicy Miss Lucy… All happening on Sierra Bonita practically living in the same apartment! Punk Rock Dave’s room was the coat closet closest to the entrance door.

Limitless Ghosts of Motion

I knew…
I was to be helpless

She caught me unexpectedly with that particular look in her eyes. Watching, wary, knowing, expectant, transcendent, alluring, tempting, anxious, wanting, suspenseful, sexual, with come hither reality that oozed mystery pulling me forever closer to her.

In less than a moment, I knew…
I was to be helpless. I would be lost in whatever spell or web that she could spin about me, capturing me fully, without hope or wanting of… escape.
In my mind, racing back in time, longing to dissolve into her vortex of material oblivion.

Please. Please. Please take me. Take me as I offer myself onto your personal altar, your vessel, your silver chalice trimmed with gold and pewter. Allow me to cover you with my scarlet silk cape entwining our very souls together now and forever more.

No remorse, No regret…. Silver screen silent melodramas that resolve into Victorian bliss. There is only silence that casts itself as shadows across our loosened tunics.

For you, I would and have, set the world afire, bleeding, bonding, drowning in occult rapture. Far beneath the candied moon, so so sweet, it’s ambrosia nectar drips fluidly from my rose lips.

Here … In this fantasmal moment I bathe in spectral nuance, exhaling, inhaling hollow hallowed flame breath laced with desire. For we are eternity, limitless ghosts of motion that swing upon pendulum wanton mindscapes. We are heathen with hedonistic parallels in bondage, impervious to the verdicts and convictions of sin. We are immortal.

We dance among the ebony claws of vampyre covens. Rhythmic howls echo and build to full crescendo, pounding flesh upon rock, gnashing teeth against stone, carving sacred vowels into my skin. Burning, searing ancient rites, tattooed covenants trace the velvet outlines that breed subtle hues of perfection upon our unclad bodies.

We are the deliverance that embrace and take the hand of Inanna. We are the storms, the wars, the fertile soil from which life both begins and ends. We are creation.

We are the reflection deeply set, within your eyes. We are the hunger, the lust that is never quenched as sirens sing across barren seas. We are the essence of twin flame reality, a union cast together, forged by Lilith raised as Nephillim, carried on the back
of Icarus.

Writing 101 – The Universe is Within You

I let go of myself, and allow the promptings to flow through myself

Poets and writers could and should pull from their past experiences to give honesty and depth to their pieces.

I myself am not a poet, nor will I ever be. I am a vessel that transcribes words, phrases, occasional rhymes, in to pieces from ethereal promptings, muse, the universe, Monad?
I let go of myself, and allow the promptings to flow through myself. Never knowing when or how it will end.
Kerouac’s rule of “First thought best thought” is the closest explanation that I have come across that articulates this process. I … Do not… own my own words, or rather, very rarely do, therefore “editing” would be blasphemous.
The difference between Kerouac’s philosophy and my journey has been simply, that what I write are not thoughts, or experiences, or memories or personal feelings an opinions. I maintain an openness for myself to be the vessel to tranced written pieces from another source. The irony is when I do attempt to “write” I find my self getting in my own way, procrastinating, wandering within my own thoughts, where I find myself actively picking and choosing experiences, emotions, colours, adjectives, archetypes, trying so hard to focus in producing work with the elements that I dislike or find cheesey in other works… Maybe it’s a form of fear, ego, but the results are often in my own opinion weaker pieces written by my own hand. To dissolve self, ego, and always be open to the promptings in my opinion is a lifestyle, constant state of mind, and with it comes lack of writers block or sensitivity to one’s piece as their is no defense mechanisms activated if someone critics a piece, because of the distance it has come from and the lack of personal and emotional connection that comes directly as a result of it’s true source.

The universe is within you

Writing 101 Being the Vessel

To describe writing, understanding the process …
for me to tamper with the promptings I receive as a vessel is ego….. I know that the universe knows better than I… The muse have been and Are eternal and I a mere 52 yrs. Who am I to second guess the prompting of the ancient ones?

When I actively “write” as opposed to being the vessel, I get in my own way, procrastinate, second guess and put out work that I feel is inferior …

Trust the process and surrender

Images of Her Divinity



Mother Goddess

While Israel stood
As a nation

Images of Her Divinity
Decorated the houses
The Temples

Her image
Carved from Wood
Women wove
Hangings for Her
IN HONOUR
And in forest groves
She the heiress
Consort to the

Until…
She wasn’t

Monotheistic

Chopped down
Banished Her

Her as a false

A void left

To Allow THIS
To happen
To HIS Wife
By HIS People
And
Watch On

No more useful

Lunar Pull

Desires beyond pagan reproach



Transcending physical
Spiritual matters drawn
Upon the lunar tides abyss
Luring procuring essences
Recurring obscuring shadows
Of the blood moon night
MagicKal practical heady winds
Drawn up on the inner wisdom
Desires beyond pagan reproach
The tides of crystalline oceans
Stretch and pull the undertows
Sandy planes lay barren remorse
As naive children turn away
And lose themselves in the fire
Of eternal remorse

Spiritual Alchemy in the Grey

Is no light with out darkness just as there is no darkness without light



The very act of “seeking” to “improve” oneself…. Is the very act of Spiritual Alchemy.
Spiritual Alchemy is like poetry.
There are no rules. Only good and bad. This actions on either side of the spectrum must be measured according to Universal LAW, for there Is no light with out darkness just as there is no darkness without light. As Above. so Below, Yin/ Yang, balance.
I have found that through My process of Spiritual Alchemy, that I have found comfort, knowledge, and home within the very GREY of it all. This realization comes with the understanding that each of us are standing on the mid point of a seesaw…. The slightest move. Shift of weight. Microcosm of an idea shifts the angle that suspends you in the middle. It’s up to you….. To decide where you stand.
93/93

The quote of the day is:

The truth is that both sides at this moment are broken



A Circular Pattern of Abuse

Here is a phrase that is all to real. That people get caught up in. Sometimes even addicted to. It is So important to recognize and be aware of the triggers and how this pattern repeats itself and from where.

It usually comes from someone that you have put trust in, faith, friendship, love that internally can Not reciprocate those traits back to you. It is also a fundamental and problematic notion that “you” can FIX these people, and that is where the cause and effect of addiction to this negative treatment begins.

The truth is that both sides at this moment are broken. The aggression of the abuser is fueled by the need of the partner to fix the actions and behavior of their actions. Simultaneously, both are experiencing low self-esteem, a spiritual void, and lack of identity. Both use the other to define themselves.
These are Toxic relationships. Many go on for years, many end up creating a cycle for the next generation of their children to manifest, many end up in jailing or death.
In closing, it is crucial for you to “Know” who you are, establish boundaries, self respect, have goals in life that you wish to achieve, and be leery of others trying to take advantage of you or any particular situation that you may find yourself in. Also, seek out what is right for you, good To you, complimentary in ideals and interests.
While it’s true that opposites do attract, they also foster negative and toxic environments. I guess what I’m trying to say, is Save you and your heart as well as time and don’t “fall” for the Bad boy/ girl.
You in the end are what’s important and to establish “Healthy Cycles” …………. 93/93

Poets-Rock Stars- and Holymen

Carried on the wind of a power chord.

Poets-Rock Stars- and Holymen

Sending messages out
into this vast beautiful world
as prophets, apostles, messengers.
Voices echoed throughout the ages
sonnets and prose expose the underlying cause of human affliction to the masses upon the tongues of archetypes, angels, and the resurrected muse of ALL.
Prophesy and tales of good versus evil carried on the wind of a power chord. Stratocaster verses sent out into the stratosphere, electric thunder commanding the attention of humankind for change.
Tammuz, Persephone, Lazarus, and Yahweh. All rose from the steadfast hold of death.
Rebirth in cycles with wisdom to collectively gather together the one human race
to foster peace
freedom and
prosperity
from the four corners
of Gaia
our true
Holy mother.

A Breath from the Universe. Monad. the Muse…..


Here is my body
Fill me
I am they vessel
I have slain ego
Prostate myself before
You
Divine glory
Hidden whispers
Secret vowels
Magick fills my bowels
And I reap all that
You have me
Sow

Here’s Looking At You

Coincidence

There is no coincidence

Synchronicity…..
The language of the universe
The bread crumb trails that secretly lay before us
There is no coincidence
Only denial of the truth
Only ignorance of the divine
Face no face the way of Monad is prepared before you and beyond

Handsom

Beauty is ascension

Handsome used to refer to women a lot in the earlier part of this century. Even the first usages of handsome towards a woman took me aback at first….
I “think” that for me anyways…..
(Though it may sound hypocritical)
That using “beautiful” towards a male is an elevation of appreciation rather than talking about someone’s appearance. Through a man’s actions he is beautiful. Personally, I’ve also met men that are beautiful that border on alien and divine…. They just have the “IT” factor… Their talk, talent, swagger, aura, energy, humour….
They walk into a room and the room Shines Up… Becomes Electric……. Morrison, Bowie, my friend Alice was beautiful…… I think that beauty is rare and is generally too super charged for most realities…. Beauty is ascension

Girl Next-door(Caroline’s Song)

So many pirates and never the queen


There’s a girl and she lived down the street all alone. No one remembered her smile- She always just laughed “I’m all by myself” but her eyes gave herself away. The pink summer sky started to rain and the radio started to play. Memories came like celluloid dreams. The ending, always the same.

So many boys and so many girls- got caught up romancing the game. In-between moments, of just wanting love she found herself, longing for more. So many pirates and never the queen she played out her part like a champ. Lost between tongue lashings all over her face, her body left conquered and bound.

The parking lot plays a curious song, it’s simple yet never the same. Echoing Echoing Caroline dances, in the spotlight of her personal show. The killing moon twists the scene- such a rage. I tell myself, over and over again, if I had been there things would have changed. The spotlight died, taking her shadow away, now I’m left with all of her pain. No longer scared or fooling myself Caroline was more than a dream……

Yvonne De la Vega

I don’t have any words
I’m silent cold in shadow
Angels fall phoenix rise
Life is a cruel muthafucker
Voices and brilliance echoes
When it’s good… it’s Damn GOOD!
I’ve written gospels in the sand
Only to be taken away painfully
By the salty tongue of reality
Goddesses are most beautiful
When you hear them ROAR!!!!
Tiny daggers find their way
Through your veins… and into
Your heart

I am frozen
Pissed at mortality
Pissed that I missed out
Pissed and unknowingly blind
Krushed that I reached out to you
Following you without knowing….
Hollow_ Shocked_ Empty_ Hurt
I feel a loss …. I never knew………

Nothing I can say is adequate
I keep writing deleting starting over
Nothing is translating from where I’m at
My senses reeling with confusion
How is it that in less than a week
A perfect stranger has become one
Of my greatest losses……..
Liking postings, leaving messages, following, subscribing, absorbed…..
In her words

“I turned to look and you were gone
The child has grown the dream is gone”
-Pink Floyd

Everything Pink/ Yvonne de la Vega

Here Yvonne reads the first poem she wrote and you can see and feel the brilliant art and charm that drives her through the piece with a smile filled with luminescent Stars! Now That’s a smile with a Real twinkle in those eyes…. Right in that moment you can’t Help but to acknowledge that She……… has …… “IT”……………… forever Yvonne.

Watch as we All Suffer



Everyone’s war starts somewhere
It can be within ourselves
It can come at us from outside
They can try to break us down
They can try to take us over
They can try to make us one of
THEM

In my blood, I share your blood
I remember my grandfather’s
Furry hat and long jacket
Now I see their blood
My blood
Our blood

We are in war

The butterfly flaps it’s wing in the Kremlin
It’s tiny motion
Becomes the face of a Tsunami felt all over the world

It’s not Their war
It’s not their pain
It’s Our war
It’s Our pain

Watch
Watch
Watch as we All Suffer

There will be no sleep with
blood on our hands
Children. Hospitals. Innocents.
Lost
Beneath a mobile crematoriums
In an attempt to hide
Crimes and Murder of war

We are victims of our own device
We are division among ourselves
We are lost to the effects of lies
Lies repeated enough to be truths

There is no validation
There is no reformation
There is an unwillingness
To wake up and
Remove these blinds
Worn by millions of people
So ready to destroy democracy
In the name of America

We are at war
We are losing
Being destroyed by monsters
More vigilant than Us….
They have been activated
The react out of fear and feeling
No Voice….
Reclaiming a country
That never existed.

Scratchy baby blue
Wool swaddled baby
Cries from hunger and
Constant relocation
Hiding

In shelters
Falling down
Over head
Without food
Or
A semblance
Of safety

Unite the divided
Dissolve the conspiracies
Hold those guilty accountable
For Crimes to abolish
The Constitution

We The People

Let Freedom Ring

Let GOD have mercy

GOD Bless us Everyone

“Ms.”

I’m somehow following my dream

A frozen moment,
in 1965
In a New York apartment
Modest wealth here we reside
A comedy of errors
I won’t be repressed
Facing life with laughter
Is this yesterday’s dress?
A struggle for identity
I have dreams too
Why is he threatened?
It’s always been the two!
He just doesn’t have “it”
He tried and he tried
The echo of crickets
Up on the stage he died
Resentment, festering
He could no longer look into my eyes
While the words liqueurd up
Flowed freely like wine
They were gasping for air
Holding their sides
Even spitting drinks Out
The “Roar” to my surprise!
I’m doing it,
my freedom
I’m somehow following my dream
A woman in comedy
I must have been insane
Women are fragile
Work cosmetic counters
Telephone operators
If she has aspirations they doubt her
Like a camera taking pictures
a bulb I too flashed
How embarrassing in “Jail”?
Oh how long would the shame last?
My mother, my husband
even Worse… My DAD!!!
OH how can I ever face Him
I’ve never done anything So bad! LoL
But I had been bitten
Oh I so loved the lights and stage
I found my true passion
A woman of the modern age
Divorce, recourse,
I bruised his poor ego,
Things just grew cold
He felt he had to let me go
Embarrassed he changed
lost all his desire
No more pursuing
His “Act” now in the fire
We were just starting out in life
To others it seemed that we had it all
He was successful
Me, the perfect mom…
Then textiles, sweat shop
Now he works with His father
So disappointed
Never attaining the laughter
I met a Beat Poet
When I did my time in the cell
I bailed him out
There was something special I felt
He’s a veteran of stage,
he knew the scene
He’d show me the ropes
Celebrity King
Bruce, loose,
shaken and stirred
Cool, social narrative
Counter culture verse
Late Night, Brave fight
television appearances
He made the “To Watch” list…
Even worse, they called him Communist
He didn’t care,
lived Life with a flare
Oh yes! I want THAT
To make people laugh
Forget all their problems
Be a First Class Act!
Oh…. Act 2
I’m on my way
Touring the country
A new city each day
My manager and I
Played for the flight boys
One show after another
Such a marvelous adventure
This coming of age
A true liberation
With so much earned laughter
A sweet celebration
“Tits Up”

Point Zero

Pulsating. In unison rhythm under a cold Autumn moon

I’ve seen visions of squirming toads, I’ve seen THEM….. More than haunting, they were the gateway, the threshold to a vast dominion. The street was paved with them. Millions of dark amphibians. Crowded, lying on top of each other. Pulsating, in unison rhythm, under a cold Autumn moon…..

Lizards clung together, forming tree’s trunks…. Standing on each other’s shoulders. Reaching for the heavens. Rising like the Tower of Babel. Syncopated breathing…. Rough skin up down, in out…. Beneath naked fingertips, empty of leaves stretching beyond it’s tendril reach …

The wonder… The calmness… The awareness. The understanding of How the universe works….. Standing in Point Zero of knowledge and creation. The inter-dimensional key to the ALL! Some in that moment may recognize…. This is the vortex of archetypes, the library of the Akashic records. Home of Muse and ancient Gods….. This was LSD.

Writing 101 – Archetypes

Select powerful, emotionally charged Words


When writing a piece (I’m specifically talking poetry, but Not limited to) Select powerful, emotionally charged Words! Rather than using words to describe the Emotionally Charged…. By doing this You are tapping into the archetypes!
Use a ROCK rather than “describing” the ROCK!!!! The results are SO Much more powerful!
I believe you’ll find yourself breaking free from the restrictive rhyme schemes!

Writing 101 – Consolidation

Establish a comrade with fellow writers

Here’s something I wanted to share with you guys.

Retrospectively
(well had I known people and not experienced what I know now through trial and error)
I would join fewer Facebook “poetry” groups. The idea that you want to have an abundance of opportunities is legitimate. Unfortunately, the reality is that a lot of these groups post content other than poetry. (Personally I feel like it’s spam, trolling, or shear ignorance of the poster) When I go to a group Poetry oriented and see videos of TikTok pranks, Facebook click bait it really annoys me. It makes me wonder Who? Is in charge of the group and what the purpose of the group is?

My recommendation is to be in few groups. Establish a comrade with fellow writers. Read their work. Like of express in someway that you did read it (some kind of emoji) then personalize it. Let them know how it made you feel (brief is ok!)
Maybe point out a part you liked in particular Or maybe even didn’t understand? Just start a rapport.

A lot of Facebook alumni are in the same groups, so also maybe be aware of where you are posting and when, also if it’s a page or group…..
Visiting six groups and seeing the same “New” poem posted and reposted when the same people are going to see it seems a little redundant …. Maybe space posting the poem out between groups over a couple of days?
People may be busy and not see it the first day, but day 3 a new posting same poem different group may yield different results.

To wrap up for today, as this post Is getting more than lengthy, maybe focus your energies, postings, responses to maybe SIX groups as a ballpark number.
It will save you time and energy, focus your content and help you establish group relations….

The Island

No magick created through nights

Two
On an island
Choice
Fate
Convenience

The yellow arid sun beats down upon them
So familiar to each other
Decades bound found them together
But separate just the same
Introvert Extrovert
Scorpio Sagittarius
No match of the ages
No magick created through nights shared

Different voices
Different minds
Comfort of friendship
Again
Familiarity

No BOOM BANG INSPIRATION

A dull roar of a thousand misunderstandings in the stagnant pool of after thoughts

Here ….

Is my temple

My workspace
My family
My existence
My loneliness

Living without oxygen
Creating breath
From within

Things people don’t understand

The Beauty of Eternal Words

Built upon mysteries

Poetry, Architecture
Every word and brick
In perfect balance
Each picturesque syllable
Carries the weight
Building the foundation
Strong
Elegant
Masterful…
Nothing to add
Nothing to take away
A Brilliant sculpture of literature
Solid, profound…
The Ancient pyramids of Egypt
Built upon mysteries
As does the poetic strength
That stands the test
Of time

Celluloid Memoirs



Coughing up memories of yesterday

Elderberry wine perfume

Telephone wire rip cords
Withered voices now silent Alone within hallowed walls

Windowpane dusty eyes
A vouyer weeps, sleep walking

Gold glitter star once shown

Bright in the night New Moon smile

Champagne flowed freely
Like blood in the streetsOf Rome

Modern day Babylon, Sodom and Gomorrah

Hollywood Nuance / Wilcox

(Cover Ideas thus far)

***********************************

The Wilcox Bldg.

Now the Wilcox Duet, it was Hollywood’s pink, mecca of our Rock n Roll society. Modern day Babylon, Sodom and Gomorrah. Tweakers n Tinseltown. Faceless rock stars, royalty in their own mind, performing sold out shows, at the Flavian Amphitheater. Revelry, debauchery, Swimming pool courtyard. A revolving door of outcasts and misfits, walking on water, bathing in the Holy glory of the sun. We were gods and goddesses, for a brief moment in time, leaving autographed shadows at the gates to Our very own primitive version, of the Garden of Allah. Strippers and cocktail waitresses, the lifeline of a lost generation. 

It was about 4:30 under an afternoon sky, perfect pale blue not a cloud to be seen. Tweakazoid’s ramblings were less than coherent, eyes darting back and forth like the fuzz were on his tail. With just blue jeans, no shirt, no shoes, no dice, he came a few steps forward towards us and we felt it coming on…. This was it. The Big reveal. The Message from our maker…. These were to be the words etched into stone for generations to come. Hell! This could be IT! 

His dry tongue licked at his cracked lips smearing the white gobs of foam from the corners of his mouth away, and I can’t say I wasn’t glad for that. He sized us up for one last time, head to toe, east to west. With a caution in the expression of his face the silence was palpable… ready to explode. 

Then booming. Like thunder. The blow of the trumpet heralding the End of Days…. He looked at us and screamed……..

“Squirrel Eyes”!!! 

Magick

There is No Room Upon My Altar

my incense burns
with personal accountability

There is no room upon my altar
for a Christ that gave away his life
for useless intentions

The scapegoat
became the savior
for the people of guilt

Their final cries
echo the release
in hopes
of being forgiven
within deathbed
confessionals

Those born and raised
being spoon fed fear from birth
blindly following
corrupted manipulation
of a Holy word.

The martyrdom of the magician
The sacrifice of a rebel
The holder of gnosis

He

was betrayed

He did not die for my sins
as sin is in the eye
of the beholder

Do what thou wilt!
Shall be the whole of the law

Love is the law
Love under will

My candles burn
and drip with freedom

my incense burns
with personal accountability

My amethyst stones
reflect eternity
strength
and my awareness
of self-realization

Runes of bone
reveal more than fortune
Such is the intent and desire
of the universe

On my alter
I offer truth
Prepare and manifest
Intentions
welcoming
Shangri-la

The Black Star turns
the dark rapture spurns

false gratitude
with secret
mnemonic devices

Meditation
contemplation
isolation
alone
I make my daily offerings

And here
in this moment
I reflect upon a man
a myth
magician and martyr

To die for a Holy cause
dreamt up centuries later
to control masses
At Masses
for power, land, and gold…

This is the lie
believers have fallen for
Heaven of purity
Freewill
Sanctuary
Peace

These are the materials
The secret ingredients
of MagicK
Alchemy
the Craft

My alter is a reflection
an extension of myself

Here
I worship
at my inner temple
Of self
the ark of my covenants
within
my Eye of Horus

Magick is
and has been
eternal

Like the force
of gravity

undefined
by
science

Blessed be
So mote it be
Namaste

The Calling/ the Beginning

The Calling~

Beat Poets & Angelic Scribes
The voices that murmur
like the ocean’s tide
Revolution, Change
Civil Disruption,
We create beauty
from nothing and lawless corruption


Let’s gather in a circle
Play drums and sing
A round a beach fire
So hypnotizing
Spirits come dancing
Swirling, they sway
They’ve come to assist us
In this call of the New Day

And he stood, staring far into the naked abyss… So silent, so empty, was his world without walls where were the voices, the unity the community, the longing for a feast, to share with enlightened souls. The hunger remains and grows and grows… As the wind it slowly howls. As above so below the North to the South… And ancient sands cover time as the darkness arrives neath cobalt sheets.

L’enfant Artiste

We marveled at the subtle hues, and feathered brush strokes

Colour by numbers is a trick of open spectrum light. The skin, the fading hair, the lost moments reflecting and capturing vibrant active imaginations of the youth.

We marveled at the subtle hues, and feathered brush strokes, breathing life understanding death.. working coloured oils into two dimensional canvases. Our focus and concentration, bordering on brilliance, virgin flesh pale with new identity.

Never a blink was flittered as I applied the formation, in the conjuring of new life, new persona, new identity, fresh without leather and brass whipping belt. Cracking, cutting, slicing through stagnant hollow air, whistling… to release open wounds, blood letting, the lessons of the teacher. His punishments reinforcing the works and knowledge of right from wrong.

Father’s secret lineage. The echoes of our ancestors… The mark of Cain hidden within our hearts. Our names buried deep within the learnings and text of Qabalistic practices shared behind closed velvet curtains of pain and faded memories.

Brother Simon looked on. He both laughed and was delighted at the New portrait of our heathen father artiste’. Serial painter that seduced his subjects with promises of greatness, money, sex, and morphine. Trouble lives released openly as Pandora’s Box enabled the ripper to cling as shadows against city night brick covered walls.

In the allies the painted shells of working souls with little to no identity, tricked into promises never to return or be seen again in any semblance of their former self. Blue Dry Naked Prostrated perfect figures to model fetish statements of lust.

I must admit, that I have learned from the best of the best. So articulate, talented and driven. These are the very traits that would both enable me to continue His work and blend within the very society that for a moment …. a slight moment of frenzy, then a burp of gossip…
disappear into this society that never really… Cared

Hey Jack, Where You At?

echoing from the dogs and stooges down under

Hey Jack, Where You At?

Jack? Oh Jack… His voice was smooth with heavy texture. He talked like he was lost yet knew all ’bout the world. His manner loose, noose held back with refrain, a melody of velvet sandpaper fell like rain from his lips. Shaking, making, the earth is still quaking to the sounds doin’ rounds, up and downs never faking, the lost hopeless, the cost of tomorrow’s the sorrows, that inevitably came and came and came and went. Was it natural, casual, casualty remiss that makes the potential genesis reform dismissed. Its loud man, heavy like thunder, echoing echoing from the dogs and stooges down under. I watched the gas ball fire juggernaut sun slowly lift into the aether sky above horizon. There’s a gonzo marching band going boom boom boom down Hollywood and Wilcox boulevards. Shaman of Shamain reciting lectures in my head. Practice repentance of things I swear I never did or said before voyeurs destroyers out for money and fame. Mr. Kerouak Jack, can’t you see, we’ve returned to Babylon erecting that tower again. Way way way up to the stars that far, with no semblance of the democratic experiment and people lost on the same page speaking the same languages, using the same words, no one understanding what the other is getting at or getting to. No one’s getting through, not to one another, everyone confused, pissing each off other of while barking Fake News. False prophet false hope lost transmission it’s what it has been. We need the flood gates blown wide open again. Wake everybody up from this solitary sleep, selfish dreams I mean. We as a people have boarded the Titanic for a second time, second coming we’ve come undone in, and we haven’t learned what we needed to learn so the ships going to go down, down down, thrashing apart. Tensions mounting, the Rich saved, poor sacrificed the orchestra stayed. Floating icicle tumbleweeds in the great vast ocean of despair, sinking deeper and deeper into the violet violent cold of our down trodden society. We’re ready for a real big miracle, that’s where we’re at. There ain’t no saviour to save us, hey where you at Jack.

Broken Street Lights, Spilt Beer & Other Love Songs

Street lights flicker
Disjointed Morse code

Broken Street Lights, Spilt Beer & Other Love Songs

It’s a lazy Tuesday evening
And the sky is mumbling
songs of jubilant colors.
Shades of night are etched
across the sky.

There’s a poignant,
rank stench, that fills the air
like spoiled malt liquor.

If you’re not careful man,
It’ll curl up them noise hairs
You got hanging from
Your nostrils……

I never got the quite
got the chance
to truly give anything my all.

Never got to be a pirate,
or throw rocks at dirty windows,
or got to chase after cats,
while skipping school
at 7 a.m.

So I’m back, looking up
Into the sky above me
And I notice something’s off Something’s unhinged
But at first I cant place what it is

Maybe it was the silence…

It was too much

Ringing in my ears
Echoing through my cranium
Reverberating
Thunder
Shamanistic drum circles
Fireworks
An Electric blender
On a hungover Monday morning

Street lights flicker
Disjointed Morse code

The shadows on the streets
Long
Thin

Then…

Music drops

2nd floor beats
Rhythmic
Alive

Jazz
Horns rip melodramatic rifs
Cacophony, Krazy, Koo Koo Juice
Jumping on the breeze
Harsh city sleaze
Carrying disease
Through the tips of barren trees

Asphalt dreams, neon signs
Television make believe
All the Ingredients that you need to start a New religion

Hollow eyes
Empty souls
Gather together in a mystic trance

The marquis sign illuminated
Drawing moths with crosses
Ready to take hostage
A Martyr
A Sacrifice
To send up to the gods

Retribution and Illusions
Caught up in the delusions
Being forgiven
Absolved of confusion

Repent

Alabaster thoughts
Unveiled realizations
Divine meanings deliver
A higher awareness upon my soul

Scratching, attacking
Holding back in
An epoch of of life
Not understanding

The moon…
Bright
Brilliant
Buoyant
Shines softly
Above the sleeping city
With luminous glow

I stumble through consciousness
With a new awareness

I try to take everything in
More than My experiences

That JAZZZzzzzz

It rides On the wind
Opened my eyes within
Finding myself in a tone
No longer alone
Coming to fruition
This crazy situation

Blinding lights
Inside my mind
Here…
I found my calling
Now is the time
… To Be
