Turbulence, Mystery, and Renewal

Faceless Geometry
Bumper car melee
At obtuse angles jammed
Faceless, the geometry pressed
Our possible futures mingle
Delayed Security of Death
Sipping formaldehyde with medical hype
A lab coat cloaked sterile destiny
Balding with bare hands to compute
Imprinting watery vitality to a blue tooth
Chip sensor, genetic desire plunges
Closeted towards strapped hardwired control
Engineers veer deaths machination icons
As chirping screens bleat out information barriers
To pass through fat nurses and white hallways
The delayed security of death
Glory Through Mystery
The conundrum
Gunning down a sense of mystery
Truncating hospital lives, spewing
Poison tar gas to advocate concrete
Control and ruthless rulebound vocation
My agreeable nature floats
In, around, outside, and above
These games of stolen pride
I am myself, timeless bound
To a prophesy pure within the sky
All moods coalesce
All people march for destiny
Not a name, place, or vocation
J
ust simply realizing
The glory of each moment
Soulmate Imaginary
Separated by distances
As time dances in and out
The evolution of our being
Caught so tight, interwoven
Hearts palpitating, pressing
To explore each possible nuance
There's a carnival of imagination
Left poised on every vacant lot
Teeming on the market
With unusual resale value
Captivating soul dance ether
Murmuring through density of dreams
Your thick breath whispering heat
Draws me towards the infinite
Energy, Being, and Void
Emergence
Out of darkness and ice
Freezing mountain caverns held tight
Elemental crystals bound up light
No running water or cool stream's breathe
Planet was barren, sea water still
Starlight broke through, as galaxies changed
It was just me and you
Potential and empty form
We were there with our starry hair
Filling glops of rain as they came
Plundering through the tundra
Out of energy rearranged
Tall trees climbed to their peaks
Nothing then was the same
Species bred insane
It was all a new game
Vertebrae and brain, the path to see
Monkeys gathered closely, singing tree melodies!
No blues were shattering the peace
Monkeys breeding furiously
Having a passionate shopping spree
And look what came to be
An upright heart!, countering
Nature's grace
An ape man heart lifted skyward
To contemplate the way
Buried subconsciously, dizzying sound
Teased the walking ape
With fireplace dreams, morphing skull rocks
Paint across the sky and palms
At every deadly cost!
Caves and plains were scattered
Splattered through the shaman desert
All else is history
Jujitsu Dojo
We strike out on objective clash
Were set to meet, make it brash
She throws an elbow, duck the might
Tackle waist first
Still delight in sight
Wrap an arm, advance position
She’s still a girl
With the greatest ambition
Electric Imaginary Futures
The rich vibe of electric throaty cries
Will summon the rumble underneath
Causing flesh to stamp its storied meat
As a fleet, silky retreat
Emboldens a soft, graceful week
Love's endless repose growing complete
Our ground is sound, the heart embrace
Stringing past times around painted thighs
Striking imaginary lines with pleasure
Always finding the sunken treasure
Inner child hand and hand
Rolls off a red carpet flame
So be adamant
About chosen paths
A creative crash provides fuel
Triggers resolution
New sights, new world, new mind
Impress this Moment
Communicative ballet
Swarming like bats-
Our urgent pressing bodies
Limited in time
Breathe their own space
Beyond melted wax flesh
Though still beholden
To each reverberation of sinew
In a disco with death
Digital hierarchy resumes
Unload, reload
Move to a new folder
Hard drive luminescent
But our voices gather like rain
Searching the strip malls
Looking for love
Amidst all the obesity
Darling, come to me in full dance
Bring your passion and glory
We are the soul's history
Given a rubber stamp
To impress this moment
With human urgency
Avid Betrayal
Mercury nights unrelieved
Betrayal passionately suggests
Our future- parallel in jest
From jumping many potholes
Freewheeling college enterprises
Found my candle beside a manhole
Your tongue is dirty like fame
Is Reality Unbending?
Beneath ground level towns meddling
Sodden streaming business circles
Cheap entertainment and gossip
Beyond the stop signs and road mines
Potholes and exhaust steaming
Future graveyards we are ingrained already
It will be us on those bookshelves...
Reaching out to communicate
Our lives and what we know
When all the dust settles
And we realize timeless human
Undergoing, underwent, forever curious
Precarious our plunder into big bold Time
Eyes dare to capture enchanting sunlight
Black holes spin, morph, transist
The interwebbing of psychic space
Dream forms land, rain dances mate with fate
Yes, I feel the past breathing, culture teeming
Like waddling toddlers striving to make way
Paying open minds for youthful beings
Bashful in open air concerto
Yet still robust with authority's musty grenade
Through loving every moment
Of this silly, w
ondrous, unexplainable life
Engineering Nostalgia
What is value?
I stand here peering out at the bar tab
Wondering what fallen soldiers reside here
Belatedly sipping away staring into space
He checks his phone on and off
Searching for some message and meaning
Takes another shot, stares
Waiting for a beautiful bride perhaps
To jump suddenly into his frozen arms
Then again the door floods open
People shuffle around looking for their seat
I'm wondering where I'm supposed to be
Walking back into the kitchen
The chef tells me not to stand at the bar
So promiscuously
I agree, it’s not favorable to see
What is value?
I go out into the darkened streets
Glowing with artificial heat
Wondering, if you can engineer destiny
The way little store shops
Recreate nostalgic mystery
Collecting pennies by the breath
The ocean front is murmuring
In languages I still can’t understand
As clapping heels gawk
And old folks talk
Newspaper gossip talk-
I'm standing in the space of no space
Wanton Abyss
The future will never wait
So I figure lets channel the surplus now
While there's salt in the flesh
And juices run through veins
In the main feed of life
Waste no time to get it right
Keep crafting like serpent's artillery
Charge off like bandits in the night
Blazoned with the candle of love
Strike me through wanton abyss
Blissful on God's endless pyre
Inspire the sparks of romance
On this love emboldened
Headless Horseman
A body enmeshed
In the dullard traffic
Intravenous circuits, downhill highways
By my side, snaking waterways
Ruthless traffic now bashes
No faces, no lyrical intimate
Blast out like can opener
This soul-flying I have dreamed
Skyscraping every distance
The wheels of time shift
I ching scheduled polarities
Thoughts scatter and drift
This dream of civilization
Robbing a beating
