Oblique

 My attachments clearly can't be told

My own itch scratches, it's getting old.

Around my halo a devil grows,

My brain's not level

everyone knows.

But if I squint and turn my head,

If I tint and don't look dead.

I kinda see what I want to see.

I see a me that's nearly free.

Bathtub Sea

 Bathtub Sea        

There is no place I'd rather be,

Than floating along in my bathtub sea.

I'm warm and safe and I can play,

In the morning, evening or middle day.

You ask me what my hobbies are,

Do I write or cook or drive a car?

You wonder for my sanity,

I don't even move when I have to pee.

My tub, my palace, the place I love,

Fits 'round my skin like a supple glove.

So back off you jackoff and let me be,

Alone and quiet in my bathtub sea.

Traffic

 Traffic

There's a hum in the corner of my mind

There's a light just out of reach.

There's a sound in the center of my soul

A whisper and a screech

I'm always pulling down the shades

I'm always plugging up my ears.

I listen closely to the sound

Tightly squeezing all my fears.

Thinking

 

 

 It happens 

A lot

 

Drinking

It happened

But now it does not

 

Blinking

To blot out

The gathering doom

 

Sinking

I'm slipping in and out

Thinking...

What's Left?

Expand the place where your breathing stops,

and pause for just a breath.

Release the hold on what you find,

and notice where you are.

Expand again, your inner self

is living just inside.

Let go the breath and with it time,

what's left is what you are.

Sometimes

 

Sometimes

 

Sometimes you’re sleeping and you don’t want to wake up

Sometimes you’re dead

 

Sometimes you get up to pee

And sometimes you just pee right there

 

Either way, you’re living in that moment

Either way, you’re not dreaming anymore

 

So why not try it in the day

When lights are on and you are breathing?

So, why is it that morning differs

Why do we rattle on?

 

Sometimes you’re sleeping and you don’t want to wake up

Sometimes you’re dead.

Someheim

 

Someheim

 

There’s a blank spot in my brain

There’s a pause between my words

 

If I don’t search too hard, that space will fill

If I try to invent it, the gap just grows

In-Joy-In Myself

 

In-Joy-In Myself

 

In a stream of consciousness, I wrote a buncha twos

Seemingly unrelated.

No clue as to how it happened,

I just wrote it, signed it, dated.

Afterlife, Death

 

Afterlife Death

I don’t know and if I did

I’m not sure I would tell you

Death after life isn’t certain

Life after death is not either

I do know that life before death

is debatable

But this I feel as strong as my heartbeat

I am here and whether I’m alive or not.

I will always be here.

There will never be a time that I don’t exist

So take it in and imagine it

You are always going to be here

You are eternal, just as I am

There is no gone, or dead.

We are what makes this life , alive

We are the creators.

We are always alive

Even after death

Even afterlife

Afterlife death

Afterdeath, life.

But, Now

Now is the time to breathe

Now is time to beat

Now is the time to love

There is no other time

This moment

This breath

This is your life, after death and after life.

Now

And The Blue

 

And the Blue

 

Restless. Discontent. Irritable am I

I didn’t make that up.

But I do know it, I do feel.

And time has taken toll.

I’ve been lonely and I’ve been sad.

I know what each can do.

I don’t pretend to have the rights.

To suffering and pain..

I do however understand.

Life’s no cherry bowl.

Instead, it’s full of everything.

The rosy and the blue.
