Nature rules not
In Dream, experience, accept, no question
All broken rules of nature seem intact
All sudden event changes, accepted without question
No time dependencies, no physical restraints
The longing to experience this state is strong
We can not go for more then a few days with out it
Yet, such difficulty to recall
Hallucinations kick into gear; in order to protect us
Earth gravity confines with mass and passages of time
And we as humans strain for adaptation
Our natural brain state is the infants no rule state
What of the different rules on other planets
Why must we sleep to be unbound by them
To maintain wakeful sanity
In sleep we’re free and unrestrained
Our singularity turns many
We can be here or there
Everywhere
Everyone
Yonge and old
Male and female
Transparent
Solid
Amplified
Dulled
What is the reason, purpose for this dual state
So different
from wake and sleep
What are we to learn
Awaiting its return
By IF
Undone
My little secret
locked within
an empty void of unknown truth
How all uncertain things turn out to be
My little rabbit died on Easter Sunday
and even that I am uncertain of
But when I dream
my dreams forewarn me
I’m in the kitchen and
It is with much regret
I hold a pounding tool and with it
pound the little rabbit on the head
I see no choice, It can not go into the oven any other way
for fear of too much pain, the ovens hot!
so here I am
LOSS
My hart gone numb
With tears aflow
I ache within
I can not show
I long to hold and touch and know
That which is unknown and will never know
Uncertainty has griped me with a hold
Regret of that which I’ve done not
Who were you I will never know
I feel the void
I celebrate that
What I have
and morn that
What I’ve not
Sorrow, Longing, Regret
Comprehension, Love,
Desire Pity, Dread
Hope !

Haircut in the wind
It ‘s haircut day, outside today,
young birds be ready and on the look out
The hair is snipped and carried by the wind,
across the terrace floor.
Your DNA adrift to weave and form
a cushion and a comfy home
A place of rest for hatchlings if you will,
a comfy place to sit on eggs.
Long after you are gone
the wind will pick it up and send adrift to lands unknown
How many different birds will find its use
and wait again for
hair cut day outside today
to weave its nests another day
SUSHI
I love sushi, as I will tell.
We have a special bond.
Ginger wasabi, soya sauce.
Sushi rice, avocado,cucumber, salmon, tuna, eal, tempura shrimp,
Mayo, Nori.
It arrives all beautifully laid out.
I know it and it comes to me by many names,
Salmon Rose, Dragon Roll, Black Mumba, California Roll,
Salmon and Tuna Sashimi.
Patience, Savour with your eye the art of fish.
Grab a morsel firmly with your sticks,
Dip, then pop it in your mouth,
repeat till all is gone and just the memories remain.
Two weeks pass, Do it again,
As if for the first time.
Drugs
Coming on, coming strong, feeling the blood flow.
Burns like fire, my act is desire and knowing that it’s wrong.
Coloured pills, burning grass, wrapped in paper pricks my heart.
Needle points to my vain,
Who would have thought I could have gained so many faults?
No one to blame.
Reflecting
What thoughts seep into my mind and float away before I ever realize they came.
I am, I feel, I want.
What causes all of that?
