A shaman has no mind to lose. A shaman's mind is like a fortress that was never built being attacked from all sides forever. And I ain't no shaman. And I ain't no army. I ain't no sunrise on a world of constant dawn, showing signs of failing health like a free hospital admittance coupon, reaping the seeds of a found Lost Ness sown in a floating sea, a sea floating in the lost and found eyes that care like a nurse to see, see the rising dawn reflected as it comes to an endless close on the surface of every eye of every me, every nurse, every seed, every coupon, every monster, ...found... ...lost... ...found.... ...floating in the sea. A singular unblinking toy's eye, inside me is a sea, in which every me, has timeless eyes which care to see, a sunrise, without me. That's me... incorporated That's me... incorporated I'm free. Here's your coupon. Harvest me... Harvest the dawn... Harvest the sea... You can't scare me. I won't even blink. There are no eyes through which I see. And there is no mind within me. With which you might find you have lost me, or I have lost mine, in yours, because That's me. That's me. And no eyelid by which vision may be lost of me. So don't close your eyes. Let the ocean of tears swim to the surface. We'll drown, here, together, with nothing but the sunrise to see. On the surface, of the eye That is thee. You are a reflection of me. Incorporated. Incorporated.

Thanks so much for the kind words, they mean a lot.

Level the ghost sharks speaking dry tongue philosophy Let me set me free of the dark of nothing but noises I see I see the end in plain sight but I speak no surprise The end, seen, nothing spoken Capture my heart in an always true phase of God Pinch the wound shut on my days of slumber and agony Leave me to speak my name and my worth into the breeze of selfless ease Find my way in the way unfindable There I roam ceaselessly On the path written by acts of the true, right and greedless Firing shells into the mouth of the dark forest Just picture the end of the world Firing shells into the mouth of the dark forest Just picture the end of the sentence

Beautiful akira.

Everything left undecided I breach the new dunes of understanding formed by the winds of change Within the days sunless, a cloud right next to me Sunless, and scorching no one and nothing, just mere being here I want to walk alone into the sun-setting haze Lose sight of my own gaze Send me into the lava and the grease Burn the candle, hood the cranium, no grinds, no gears Wandering the wonderland, wondering For them I am unsure, not for me For them I leave everything undecided, not for me Turbines through the desert sky I see only traces of me, myself, I Solitude is a candle lit Without a second hour And and no hand to wind the clock up To grease the second hand, grinding To please the keeper's needs, gears As I fall into another minute sour So I present my time Soak up the shower Where do the new notions lie? of which I can find, nothing to decide.

A sun shattering the midday darkness Speak clearly wanderer if they see you Find my eyes, find my darkness, find my light, find my way Speak clearly if they see you I want nothing of this, nothing of the clutch of an unborn day I can't open my mouth They They They See nothing, want nothing of this, they are without blindness Undercutting the grass and without a tired eyelid Darkness or forgotten light, misplaced ideas of God Stolen from the vault, we wander Stolen from the vault, we wander It was just a toy box Wind up me Scotty, We'll see who goes through the speechless town, the ruins of built pointlessness Spires reaching towards the clouds that shun us, all of us Worship the sky that cannot speak our name And know truly within lies the potency of dreams Dreams of endless wandering, smileless people, smileless reflections of my face in the water I know her, seen her before She is empty but full to the brim In her eyes, I see the perfect storm between dusk and dawn, the twilight that stole our names from our faces Potency remembered, seen by two lit candles Speak Clearly If they See you

Beautiful with rich icons of slattery and steel Porches with a single loudspeaker, endless through the forest Over and under the spoken whispers Why did it breathe its sounds into my ear Why did it not finally present itself into my glare Just wanted another day of bitter sight Just wanted another one of those, another day, burning within Instead, you Take me down, into the pit my soul dug previously To echo the dawn of a new furrow Deeper, now, deeper Under, asleep Love in the window, or was it just narcissism I want to have my tree grow here I want to find you, us Here, in the slow stinging blackness and nothing found entrenched in our soul hide-outs Peek within the door and find no one sitting there With the sense they just left With the sense they are just coming now Because here you are seated, reading stories over the fire And here I am seated next to you listening I stole my love from a forest that burnt itself to the ground Now I see inside my own embers and wonder if my voice will generate feedback If the loudspeaker, Finally, Whispers and taunts the dark barking ghosts of lost thoughts, lost hours And explodes Burning it all to the ground

I like, quantum.
You should give free-flow a go, if that's the term. Just type and let it flow. There seems to be some deliberation in your writing and while that produces more sensical topics in the writing, as yours generally is compared to mine, it restricts imagery.

Yeah good stuff akira, very original, and beautiful words.
Not to say I'm not reading and enjoying the rest. Can relate to a lot of these.

level eight
The future consumes me. I pass level 1. No corpses, no bad breath, only living people. Level 2. Demons worshipping the cross. Level 3. Moons orbiting stars. Level 4. Horrors of unspeakable barbarity, devilish emanicipation of all good, total failure of human nature, consummate pathological brain processes animating lost souls. Level 5. A vase of flowers. Level 6. A vase of flowers, a fly rests gently on the stem. Level 7. Rambo. Level 8.
And so we have arrived.
I look at my hands, they are decaying. I lost my eyesight but see with blood. I cannot believe the loudspeaker, it sounds like a cup of coffee singing. Viruses are prone to be infected here, the air is so still.
Look at me.
Look into my eyes.
It is a waterfall on the speechless domain of repeating echoes.

Flying through the abyss of eternal dreams, thinking I am dead. I lose colour to shades of grey, nooses hang in the arch, the wind commands they do not rest, only wither, only beg to hold our necks.
The moon sees the sealess landscape, blind. I speak in moon-tongue and lap up my drink of toasty water, content to drown. Eye to eye with space, level with the breath of time, I speak endlessly underwater. Beauty is without a surname, and I compel her to bring me under. Beauty is without a middle name, and I command her to describe its tone. Into a void of light, astonishing. Into the void of a light night and withered bread industry, level with spoken demos.
The desk fell down the stairs, I had pushed it. The stairs merely look on.

Hey didn't see this before. This one is really good, especially that you use only two words per line, that's crafty to make that work.
It would make good lyrics, slowly whispered or something, in an ambient type guitar track.

Good stuff. Okay so much for momentarily, but here's one

Written in the anthill, written in alphabetic numbers Human sacrifices to the human god Candles unlit but burning Locks unshackled but still safekeeping the truth Is intelligence a kind of love? Where did I find you . . . Where did I put you last And where do I go to get past? Suns, moons, bright and dark skies Which will come for me . . . When I stand between the days? Her name was not there I couldn't speak it So I took it out of my pocket And realised she was my door Never did I know in the glowing light around her That perhaps such things could be reflected Without diminishing us all Now I go into the dark unease Of a twilight not born Into her quiet eye And think to myself The golden rain on her soul must feel like silver To the pure touch of the dying fires In the clouds of unspoken majesty Which salute above Because that army destroys nothing; Everything that is not love I want to see again Like the blind man without a notion Who breaks into the sunrise Who breaks into the rain And see nothing but the purity Of life The deepest mystery yet founded On this golden universe Of aging fires and forgotten soils See again and say Not why did you put me here But why you come again

Unborn villages, unseen skies No one has been here No one here dies
I look into the mouth of the predator Death isn't that fierce But the next few moments will be
So I saw the day vanish And I thought he'd come this way Many eons ago I predicted the passing Of yet another moment of solitude And into the pit of Hell Goes a few more Unsure of God's mercy Unsure of man's clay
Stars swirl I see them move closer to each other And further And they shift what they owe to each other In the midnight breeze, where I lost my own self I lost him, deep within my self Never to be found except when I try once more to see in the dark of closed eyelids With only the withering torch of memories of lost years And horrors And more

Signify the ruins in your eyes Take your November rain with you Everything but the glorious sun dies The newborn beetle learns to chew
Storm through the unlit mind Enlighten me with your story of shadows The day breathes solid, the day breathes kind I stay by the campfire in the meadows
Knife front into the unsuspected aggressor The demon keep slips into the mountain edge People by the hour seem lesser The stars speak something only an ally would pledge

Torn into the wreck of a thousand year solitude, the armament of a stolen life. I speak in the lost quarters of the night which bleach into morning, the daylight reserved for the eyes anew. Hydrogen and oxygen pour Heaven to Earth without a soul losing its way. At the end of the tunnel is not light but a sign warning one to go back - where one started one already felt a need to return. In the soothing darkness of corrupt mindedness I went into sunburnt black eerieness that spoke of starry skies and strange abductions. I toured the fathomlessness.

Trying to see the blinding takes its toll on the mind's retina. Why not breathe a sigh, take the girl out to dinner. Too many complications in a simple life. Might see if stealing cheese is a crime against God. Umbrellas without names, conflicts without purpose.
In a state of maximum divinity, the muesli skies stretch further than the horizon. The torch bears the flames notorious for third degree burns, so I blow it out. Why speak something into a valley that your self does not want to hear. My lips sear.
Try the bar menu, it's written in Haiku. I don't think you can eat what the waitress brings, though her eyes are from the future. Into the unspoken territory of the next word of the sentence, only orators may pass, for this is no game, this is your livelihood. Speak clearly if they see you. Speak clearly if they see you.
