Ethereal Ascension

I am wondering the nexus

Already I know the frenetic present
In my daily meanderings I see the hub and bub
And my mind soars into the abyss
I can feel the moisture in the clouds
And in this altitude the sun is breath taking
This out of body experience is in my mind

In the moment I can transcend
I can soar
I can feel the wind on my face
I can love the far away
There is no tether on my heart
And yet I come back
To my room

And I awake
Almost like I felt destiny's pinch
There are apple blossoms and humming birds

In my back yard
Yet through the branches and the hum of existence
I see the waning commitment to the world
Out of body means out of tether

The Space Between Thoughts

When there is an interlude between thoughts
I am at the heart of being
At first it seemed only like a sliver of time
But after a while I swam in the silk
And I let go of the precipice
Of thought forms
I backstroked into the gulf of what is

I am in the maelstrom of existence
My eyes roll back into my head
I feel dizzy as the blood in my eyes
Washes down my face
I am beyond caring
I am conscious
I am out of the daily transactions

Such relief
I look around at all the doing
And my head is spinning in the vortex
And I am not insane
Everything is a priori with a dash
Of cause and effect
As I bleed into the in between

Hidden Dimensions

We live in a pulsating universe
The pulse of thought is the known
Outside the pulse silhouette
The vast unknown thrives in the oblivion
My existence is there
The downbeat out of time is the magic
My heart is fired by this soft blue

My sail is filled with the night
My existence sails between the pulses
I am enlivened between the thoughts
There is so much energy in consciousness
The tumult fills my sail
I live on the surface
The ethereal is my home

The door to heaven is through the downbeat
My journey has been arduous
The pain has burnt my soul
Death has been in my embrace
As we kissed I was sucked
Back into consciousness
And now I sail the blue sea

The Universe Looking At Itself

There is a symbiosis of looking
There is a web work of reciprocal vision
The universe is looking at itself
In the give and take of a thousand eyes
Species to Species
Physical phenomena to physical phenomena
There is a cosmic vision of what is

Our vision is only one aspect of the whole
There are threads of sight
That add dimension to the whole
There is clarity beyond what is
A rock with pressure and time turns
Into transparent crystal
We are adrift in vast seas of seeing

My vision is moving into the ethereal
I am afraid of the consciousness
I know I should embrace it
It's just that I desire death
Rather than metamorphosis
My fear is that which ever path I sail
I will drift into the same eddy

Roses And Barbs

Thorns and barbs both tear the skin
Love interestingly enough spills red
How does this web work hem my cage
This prison is an abomination
The red petals are the texture of your lips
There are barbs behind and in the iridescent red
And your kiss sips my blood

I fell into the mesh
I lay there in the quiescence
The metal thorns permeated my skin
My epidermis was in symphonic pain
To move my weight fired more pain
I lay there a long time
My blood scabbed

My mind was in limbo
There were thoughts of your softness
There was knowledge and pain at my cudgel
I was lost in time
I wanted help
Yet the pain elevator wouldn't stop
And the pain was my friend

Mystical Flower

The saxophone cried a sad tune
There were tears on the flower's skin

There was passion tucked into the folds
The blue petals leaked tears
And my heart was into the sunset
Radiant blue spilled from my veins
And I had no room to live

The electric rhyme fired

The horns and drums were in dissident discord
My heart filled the threshold of loneliness
The music demands conclusion
My shirt had droplets of blue spatter
And it was time to be comfortable in the sprawl
And I faded into transcendence

I fear I am dreaming
I fear morning will come again
I fear the malaise will not be enough
That my strength will sustain me
That God will prohibit me
That the violence done to me was not enough
That I will live with the dream
