Fare thee well, my friend
To earth and soil be rooted
To grow another

You think to blame them
A weary soul you may be
In truth they blessed you

For every needle
That plunges in you stabbing
Refines your spirit

Indigo ink seeps
Penetrating thru and thru
Love your opposite

There will come a day
Devils become angelic
Transcending soaring

Buffett or Buffet
James , Jim, or Jimmy
Dick, Richard or Jane

None are all the same
What’s in the name of naming
Blew or is it blue

I refuse to cry
Its okay to make me die
Listen this no cry.

Elvis went that way
Left the building years ago
There’s no place like home

Titian my love
The light you gift upon me
Paint that never dries

Source, why am I here?
A spirit vibrating sound
Multiple echoes

All the connections
Allowing life blood to pulse
Briefly touching earth

I drop a deuce
It rolls
Falls
Hits to shitter
Splat

So long metal coin
Off to hell you go clanging
Millionaire Jackpot

I got my groove back
Staying deep in my vision
Im affected see

Body shaking yeah
It’s titillating sweet sweet
Moving with the beat

Sic music’s twanging
Pumping , pulsing with that heat
I’m not complaining

I’ve lost my marbles
Last night I heard them rolling
The cat had a ball!

trees of copper leaves
sparkle in the sunlight ghee
butter me up spring

the sand she calls me
hear here the waves feel the hot breeze
to the beach I say

pace yourself said snail
rally up the wall i go
pace yourself said fly

fly across the sky
leaping lizards are now near
tongue gives wing to place.

That was lovely

thanks. I played the harpsichord today...this is how it sounded:


chime dong cling spin fling
bringing cling fling belly wing
glittering fingers.


What did you play?

Sitar vibrating
Titillating osmosis
Singing everywhere

We played in our own band :)

What does it all mean
For what purpose are we here
I want to know why

They said:

to drink my mind says
to eat my fat belly says
to sleep my bed says

to breathe my birth says
to run, my fears have so said
to count syllables.

I've said.

The dirt screamed in pain
do not yank my favorites
fingers listen not.

Earthy earth grimaced
Then complete acquiescence
Seeded soon again

driplets of water
wash down my face to find you
between the moon cries

and the sun rise yet
will the salt of the earth wet
let me cry for you

I'll hold my face high
and sip tea with amber thigh
running away short.

The Mirror reflects
Memories now resurface
Forgetfulness fades.

Funny now i feel
as if the world can rise up
and make humans change

for the better in
our hearts have risen up high
how so i am here

Delicate thin sheath
Powder blue papyrus shell
Golden lemon sun

i dindoo nuffun

godlike productions they lie

i was a good boy
