Chaos


Nature is chaotic, not quite random
Chaos and order flow in tandem
When Nature’s speaking you must hear her
Know at what you’re gazing in the mirror

Is the beach’s sand all in disorder?
Does the infinite not have a border?
Perhaps the granules are quite set
Or perhaps the man is quite beset

Randomness is order in low degree
Ascribing nothingness to matter, but folly
To see, to know the subtlety’s degrees
Requires one to see, to sense with ease

The coin of materiality’s the atom
That people mistake it I can’t fathom
This entity is not some queer mere accident
But a higher mind’s unfurled, extended accent

Evolved beings must merely come to see
That physical behavior isn’t free
In the sense that Nature’s not unbounded
Infinite, but with its corners rounded

The flu


I've got the flu alright
Mama gon' make me a hot tea
I've got the flu alright
Man I feel sick
My nose is stuffy
But I must remain still
For this sickness I cannot spread
This sickness will die with me
I must drink hot tea
I must eliminate the virus
I must eliminate Osiris

Infinites border begins at you and ends with me.
Between us all that we think we can see.
Necessary confusions obscure the casual glance.
What's the flame going to do next? Not a chance.

Order is random.
Truisms fluid.
Notions define.
What is concluded.

What is matter is trust.
Between you and me it must.
Even for the great nothingness to be true.
I alone could never prove it without you.

Random is just another thing we built that we don't understand.
That would change with a new discovery planned.
All that our sciences can percieve.
Is limited only by what we can believe.

Eschillion Key Excerpt, poetry from my anarchist false utopian novel [Re: pineninja] * 1
    #24156828 - 03/12/17 05:35 PM (6 years, 10 months ago)

Horror struck
                Like an off-key piano
Like a volcano
                Swallowing an island tribe.

    Said Janet Walters, "What?"
    A man wearing a paper bag over his head and nothing over his body ran by screaming, "We're doomed!"
    Janet Walters fell into a wooden park bench. She looked at the dracoliche and said, "He may be right."
    Said the dracoliche, "Just give me my damned money bitch."

Could it be be a simulation.
Can it be true.
For the matrix to be us.
Who's programmed me or you.

Same with it all.
Its pointless to look.
Any answer given.
Would mean absolutes mistook.

Biological machine just inferior words.
Rational theory collective absurds.
We romanticize thought and introspection.
Magical or not its a misdirection.

While non of this proves it could potentially be.
I've been confused once again, again I'm at sea.
Its hard to explain.
So I'll refrain...

Insectoid parasite


So certain of your precious nature
Your lovely Latin nomenclature
But I can see what you cannot
You're one and all a pisant sot

Sucking dry the planet's essence
Some cry we need some more present
What it is -- insane stupidity
Deriving from rancid torridity

Looking like disgusting lizards with fur
Or insects with endoskeletons, demure
Our sense of dignity is a sad joke
While all these reptiles are stuck in a yoke

If one could take an Angel's view
He'd see things are a bit askew
Far from the stately image man has
The truth is, one and all's an asshat

Subconscious Macrocosmic


You know what they say
(Of course we must heed they)
Observation is king
For without, not a thing

But that I would contest
Outside Earth, all the rest
Of our universe teems
With awareness, it seems

Whatever's out there unseen
Isn't dead, it's a dream
The moon won't disappear
Nature tends to cohere

A subconscious macrocosm
A hominid microcosm
There not at all separate, really
We can travel inward, freely

hey guys, I think im gonna be alright

I used to have such an imagination when I was younger, I thought it was a lost talent. Feels great to start writing again and getting in touch with that spirit.

some of this might not be considered poetry, although I guess the best thing about poetry is that it doesn't have to follow rigid form. Its just free thoughts.

so here it goes, just some things Ive been writing, starting with a classic haiku

does it ever change
while were here forever, or
is it all the same?

And when the light finally appeared, the Voice asked
  what is the matter Son, all is forgiven
to which the Angel replied, Yes Father
  but I still feel bad.

I didn't say it was original, just that I thought of it myself!

Morning Light

in ethereal

above the archway
and under the drawbridge t'wards me
(shining edge of refraction)

it's (feeling the edge of a degree of BOUNDING)
what I don't know: to think of this...
fear aloft neck and shoulders

feels like behind me, a snake's hiss:
heeding danger as shining prey while the heat
rises off my pate of gnarled hair
in this muggy day of May

Mythologie


Peacock of the chakra's master
Apollo offers hers, so ask her
Speaks, "He was in the fifth dimension"
To drily submit her contention

It isn't often one may see
A genius with a hand like he
Forbidden fruits, to him two-d
For us, abstract Mythologie

It's really good.

Yes... Imagination is so important -- hugely... Creativity...  And yeah - we are usually at our best at a fairly young age...

The brain works differently then - if it is developed in a good way...  Although, the more I understand about life, the more I come to learn that it is possible to get to heights or peaks of intelligence or creativity later on in life too...

So this one, isn't so amazing really, it's from 11 years ago when I was 18, so, very early really, as I didn't start writing 'til then..

Mostly I was just playing around with imagery that time... I post it because I noticed, George R. R. Martin's next book is called the Winds of Winter

o i forgot the poem.

:1up:
like i say it's not an exceptional poem, probably slightly below average even.
:1up:
:1up:
(below the 50th percentile)
:1up:
:1up:
but, like i say, i was just starting out as a poet, more or less, or still quite early, and experimenting around with imagery a good deal.
:1up:
:1up:
having said all that, it's one of my favorites, and i felt the same way when i wrote it -- it was part of my growth as a writer,
:1up:
to write, and to love writing, and to come to see forms and beauty...
:1up:
:1up:
gradually learn to see, learn, love, know, create, higher beauty,
:1up:
:1up:
which has truly for me always or often been a case of ...  there's almost a fountain of inspiration, isn't there?
:1up:
:1up:
a source -- which ever flows....
:1up:
:1up:
:1up:
i recently read a quote of Nikola Tesla, to this effect...  '' the universe has a core, a source -- from this i get all my ideas...
:1up:
i have not penetrated this core, but i know it exists."


-- partially paraphrased, although i believe the last sentence is close to exact.


(2) standing tower

A standing tower, that
Long held fast,
As winter winds
Blow and crash,
Crumbles, to fall.

A crumbling tower, on
Surf-torn shore,
Descends, in slow motion,
As every stone
Breaks, to fall,
Cascading, to the shore

Crumbling tower, that long held fast,
As winter winds do win at last,
With every break and fall of stone,
It leaves me ever more alone.





:1up:
oh, and seeing it -- obviously i was in the early stages of growth of lyric poetry, too... as, half-way through, the poem basically crashes ...
:1up:
i suppose i should stop by now, and - isn't talking silly?

:1up:
peaceful silence is kind of where it all leads...  but - in terms of expression, which is probably so important to the soul's growth --

:1up:
not much is higher than poetry -- and, in terms of growth in general and life - not much is more beneficial than writing,
:1up:
:1up:
It has always seemed,.......... after all, it is a journey, and by writing, one is taking it.
:sun:


I also learned, over the years - that self-learning is possible.  That is,
:sun:
:sun:

by writing one grows and learns -- not simply by writing, but also from this, one can gradually learn.


Self-learning.  (one term for it,) although we are in the realm of language---



which is creation of language

:sun:
:sun:
:sun:
so one should really find a more creative or cool word than self-learning, but in terms of description at least,

:sun:
it's accurate.


Shantideva has a beautiful or similar description from like 2-8, in the first chapter, of his work -- Bodhi

And Schopenhauer of course, was the most adamant among Western philosophers on the benefit of writing versus the detriment of reading.
:1up:
(remarkably, amazingly, surprisingly, so.) or, somewhat so.
:1up:
Whitman, Dogen and McKenna, similar ones.
:1up:

hm my apologies for so many words,


♥♥♥♥ :heart: peace and love :heart: ♥♥♥♥

Am a screenwriter by trade, but have tasked myself with one poem per night, minimal edits. Here's where it's gone so far.

Entry #1

The ministry pigs in satin
Squealed as they began to fatten.
And then there were no more rhymes
because they outlawed them all so fu
ck uckuckuckuckuckuckcluckbuckcluckcuckcluckhuckyuck
yuk yakkitaka takayakkayakkatakkatak
Flesh meat sac
Moist heart mask
Take me to task
All you do is nag gasp 'n gag
But let your heart sag
BE a nag and an art skag
Spit with scrag
Be a hag
Be a hag
Hagagahagagahaguguha
hagagahagagahagaga
ZUS



And #3

Light is a blight on the dark.
That's how the dark sees the light.
But is that true of the dark and the light?
What if we lightened up our view of dark,
and darkened down our view of light?
Even the dark can glow in the aftermath of the light,
and the light a welcome awakening one eruptive midnight.

In life, in death, you find
the death of life and
the life of death.

To play any game is to deal out death.
And the day you realise you're
already in the big house on the high hill,
a bone wind whistling in through tin chimes,

well that's precisely when you awaken in light
after the long night of sleep.

And you walk into the sun.

And you don't know what awaits.

i wrote this while angry and frustrated so may have bad vibes

you scream i scream we all scream for dice steam
my fingers are punctuated by the sounds of aggressive pencils and pens making their mark on the blank canvas of Anthony Kedis's brain..
My frown is intensified when I can't make brown, so I put on my balet shoes and walk around the town
How am I going to get through an entire day of diaper changing and knocking over train tracks
I walked through the tunnel. I gave up my life. They gladly took it. I have no life now. Just an impression of a simulation of a ethereal nothing
Furious eyes give way to so many ways to die and that makes me sigh because anger is a broken duck wing that will plunge you underwater and keep you there
I do it all anyway. Come over and eat boiled eggs with me in a 50's romantic sitcom - after we eat we will sleep in seperate beds and read the newspaper. Looks like we are going to war again, honey.
The dancing gets old when it's 7 AM and the drugs have worn off 3 hours ago. And now I'm wondering.. is there any point going on like this, with these old habits and old friends
It all stays with me... I want to set it on fire. Set all my fucking possessions on fire. Go explore the Amazon like my spirit brother who also lives in this stupid city.
They say that the world is ending, so what is beginning? And can I get there without going with the bloodsuckers?
Everything breaks in time, except for my desires. They stay true. How pleasant.
Just shoot that ball into the basket. That's what you are good for. You practiced eight hours a day. I practiced self-destruction. Got damn good at it. I've gone down three lives... three to go.
All of a sudden the streets open up, the cars start flying, the buildings peel back and reveal pure imagination essense. I can't believe that this could be happening, and it seems to be coming from behind my hands, into my hands, shooting forward and sending all the people into transcendental bliss.
Night falls and I'm tiptoeing in the kitchen for an apple. The apple satisfies me and then I'm chugging root beer straight from the 2 Liter bottle
The beat of the song keeps me alive for now, I sing with rage, I sing with hope and desperation.
It's too late to go back. I'm 70 and you are 30.

White lights before the dawn
The night has been shaken by the neck
The night pen rests on the withered ink container
The speechless insects do not mind me being here
I use their blood to splash the page of dawn
Note that we don't all bleed red

The stars are hung in the heavens
I keep them next to God
They melt into pools of star dust
And something drips into ponds behind me
