Yes I only started writing stuff down recently....amazingly cathartic to get some of this stuff to the external rather than spinning around over and over. Once down I can move on.....never really had that luxury before.

yeah, well, first off, i mean this stuff is as good as published, as far as i am concerned (and certain publications. Rattimer The Cat was made for publication but it sat around for so long, i said fuck it, i might work on something else; and also some others that were sent a long time ago [two years almost] have been reworked a bit, and then some older poems i just started loading up here to unload them to start fresh, as it were.)

but now i am just essentially doing three things; let's narrow it down for the fuck of it, i am honestly just doing a: practicing material, b: i get influence to write here, and from here, necessarily, because i 1: have to get the juices flowing and i do this for personal reasons, not for mere enjoyment, (though there is that) and 2: i need an outlet other than just my own speculation on whether it's any good or not, because even though i don't mind writing just for myself (it's why i started out) i do want to take it more seriously, it's just that i'm new to it, and well, poetry isn't exactly the most commonest thing anymore, and it's frankly a learning process, me having no experience prior, or any academic training in poetry, as with much else; because of this i need an audience.

and c: this is my training ground for learning about what i want in all this regard, so i can work on my own style of poetry, and get A and B concocted together to make me get the right vibe, flow, juice, energy, whatever you want to call it, inspiration, to create a more serious work, so i tend to now take it very seriously, hence, again the need for the 'training ground', as it were; so to say, my 'hunting grounds' ... my 'venue'.

i write poetry because it's the music that i can attribute to the record i have of my own music, other than my fallible bricolage music that i have been doing otherwise, some of which i'd call sound poetry.

in fact, i'll post some sound poetry of mine. it's 20-odd minutes long, in toto, though, you need some spare time if you wanna listen, in full.

Spirit


Man's awareness
Dim by comparison
Utterly dim

A dark age heralded
By the lack of any sensitivity
To matters of the spirit

Man's soul records
As he works and plays away
At trifles, at meaninglessness

Can this be forever?
Can a conscious void touch infinity?
Can absence be present?
Must we toil in superfluousness?

So Earth marches forward
I suspect She has ulterior motives
But that doesn't help us

We are expendable

So maybe this is a grand strategy
To replace man?
To redeem man?

Ramshackle being
Dull dull dull
Ferocious inanity
Decorous insanity

Can man share in his own spoils?
Only time will tell;
Can we mend our brokenness?

The future will be stranger than we imagine
And we shall return to where we are

I have no training and only started writing anything 6 months ago. I'd be lying if I said the plus 1s didn't feel good but I am only really writing for me, and here they can sit with a relativity that doesn't warrant me being institutionalized.

That last one was excellent btw.

I used to draw birds
But now I draw blood
And shoot it back inwards
I've become a quite dud

Where once I liked Legos
And painting and plots
Now I like matchsticks
Old spoons and blood clots

My girl thinks I'll pass
From some foolish mistake
Yet I simply dream
Of relief from this ache

The American Dream


They say one calls it the "Dream"
Because you have to be asleep to believe it
So many chasing -- chasing their tails
A life so empty, and one's actions aggrieve it

What has America become?
What was it ever?
A vision of revulsion -- why
Must I deem it clever?

They tell you to buy in
No one could tell you why
Not to do it is a sin
A comeuppance by and by

Pursue wealth, pursue fame!
The proximate rallying cry
Must compete, get ahead
Hustle 'til you die!

Cooperation anathema
The common good a phantom
Be a good little worker bee
Uncle Sam will pay you your ransom

Real success, naturally
Is a very different thing
It consists, of course, in the relationship
One has that oneself must bring

"There is no wealth but life"
So sayeth the modern sage
The value of a soul, indeed
Is not set by one's wage

You sold us on a dream and we believed it sight unseen.
Free you cried, no need to worry its easy let the market decide.
Gullible or bamboozled doesn't really matter.
Into wonderland we traveled completely trusting the hatter.

Now the pills seem to be wearing of the books almost finished.
Here we are left with a society diminished.
We lock ourselves in cages of wealth.
With little to no though of society's health.

We've been taught that bigger is better and we need more.
Ultimately unsustainable an implosion in store.
We allowed the few to push on us what we need.
Without realizing they've seen our weakness and are using our greed.

I don't celebrate things.
Happiness is not what it brings.
The best things in life have to be free.
Maybe when the superpowers become worthless then we can see.

There is something missing even the hardened must agree.
For no matter the science there are inconsistencies for all to see.

Evolution is clear, and provable, no doubt.
So how could our estimations of human existence be so far out.

Maths allows certainty a framework which is strong.
And yet there are holes that show even it can be wrong.

Physics is concrete and something that explains.
Until you get real small or large or our brains.

The commonality I see is close but not quite.
I just don't think a singular theory can ever be right.

expeditions
of sound and sight
submerge my cells
in sapphire mind
cross-connections
masks of time, marked
floating through air
and process heap
the last day i stood,
only a memory
that transmitted
regret of existence, battled
a material resistence,
a lumen condensation leading
to gaseous escalation;
making the squeamish torpid, emasculated
like a flower missing it's light and water,
but that's not what worries me anymore,
i'm dead and gone and out the door

Hello,Love-I welcome you(Dedicated to Aphrodite) tentative title

Love is an abstract idea:It is incapable of thoughts or feelings
Yet,I believe,it could not have picked a better host than us(humans)to express its emotions and intentions
Hello,Love-I welcome you

Love is like a waterfall-soothing and pleasant
Love is like a teddy bear-warm and cuddly
Love is like a majestic lion and quick-witted cheetah:strong,passionate,clever
Love is like a car-Fast,for the adventurous and exploring types and slow-for those who love to cherish the moment
Love is like the birds and sky-It is free and knows no limits

People always tell me when I love a woman that seeing is believing.Yet I counter this always by saying,"If seeing is believing,then believing is seeing."
  Hello,Love-I welcome you
I am to the Eros of Earth,as you are to me the Aphrodite
Your apple-blossom scent drives me wild with ecstatic pleasure
Our love is hotter than the sun(what's hotter?our love!)

Your vivacious breasts are like two golden apples-I want to touch and treasure them forever
Your luscious lips are like two strawberries-I want to taste them until the end of time
Your round,curvy buttocks is like a juicy plum-I want to caress it and squeeze it until my soul beckons me to stop
Your long,slender legs are like works of marble-I want to look at them until my eyes grow weary
Your beautiful,elegant face is like that of Aphrodites'-It causes me to mumble and lose my wits
Your long,elegantly flowing hair is like rivers of stars-It dazzles and amazes me to no end
Your perfect vagina is like the fountain of youth-It keeps me young and beautiful forever
Your heavenly,radiant smile is like a rainbow-Its peacefulness washes over me and cheers up my life
Your free,caring spirit is like Mother Nature herself-beautiful,sexy,lovely even beyond the reaches of Time itself

Throughout my life,people said I was a fool to fall in love
But they have never really loved the way I love
They also say that love dies and that it cannot withstand defeat-to them I say,"Impossible!and it can!"
Others say violence reigns supreme and love is overthrown-to them I say,"Amor vincit omnia!-LOVE CONQUERS ALL!"

Seasonal


Summer went by in the blink of an eye
And autumn is nearly upon us
Soon leaves will fall low and wind will get high
And warm clothes will have been put on us

Verdant transitions, into such forms
As red, orange, yellow and brown
And all of a sudden, here are the fall storms
And smiling turns into a frown

The air crisp and cool, with just a tinge
Of that smell I cannot quite describe
Here we are again, just beside the fringe
Of the chilliest wintertime vibe

It's funny, indeed, how time slips away
And pulls that warm rug from beneath us
I long, how I long, indoors for the day
When the springtime such warmth shall bequeath us

When my water runs out of me
The snail has slaked it's thirst
He's ready to come 'up from the well' -- it's the signal he's done

Breathe, drink, carve,
Consume

Today the snail came up to me
"I require replenishment now", he said.
"The day is a new one -- it's gone from signals of
fire, to smoke"

The Shaman


Doctor, healer, psychonaut
A bit also of priest
He was all of these and none
A mystic, to say the least

Schizoid not uncommon
But so revered was he
Despite the modern prejudice
This ancient was quite free

Ancient agent, 'tis to say
Of the supernatural
Communion and participation
Second-nature natural

Intimate connection
With each one in the band
Symbiotic, oft' psychotic
Vivid, sacred land

One would be hard-pressed
To make an institution
Of nature's doing such as this
The present's dissolution

Rituals honed over eons
In some cases thousands of years
Having been passed down directly
All but gone now, save only tears

The Shaman has no place here
In this material modern plane
There is no more passing of wisdom
And the candidate's insane

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
