TIME AND SPACE

All is connected:
the principle of non-locality
defeating time and space
defying the boundaries,
commonly taken for granted.

the divine and the mundane
connected all the same.
intertwined we all are,
in aboriginal dream time
we can know it all
beyond this time and space.

no more hiding behind our veils
of lies.

INSANITY ?!?

Insanity as I plead you guilty,
of a crime;
which is your nature
no going back, no running forward,
stuck here and now you are.

so many places, you have been;
come back and wash yourself from your sins
unable to be forgotten, yet always forgiven.

i dream no more
to be released from her pleasure,
such a torment,
a reality, all too often, so close,
and yet just an empty shell

Never going back, and still
visiting the same places.

COME TO...

your sex is peacefully
placed upon my bed.
feast my eyes,
on your beauty divine.

just the look of your eyes
drives chills
up and down my spine.

a dream, the smell of you;
bewildering my senses.
lost in a sea of stimulation
before even one single touch
of you

the smoothness of your skin,
soft as silk, a bed of rose leaves,
i feel you

defenseless i end
all i can do
is surrender to you

and there is no denying
my taking pleasure in it.

GETTING BETTER

Life is BEAUTIFUL!
but far from getting better.

’cause not one of us
stops for a moment to see

there is more than
what lies on the surface

sometimes, mirrors show
what you want to see

can you claim
you are free ?

and choose to see
the beauty that lives in everything ?

FURTHER BEYOND

listening to those chants
going places
some may call a fantasy;
a world of dreams,
but to real they feel
to be just that.

galaxies unfolding before
my inner eye, you might say,
but no, they are all surrounding
as if standing in an open room

stars sparkling
colors entwine
green, golden and white
this dust,
mild orange the glow

vast spaces, floating through
no thoughts
just observing, taking in

questions, unspoken
become; answered,
clear as known for years;
no doubts

let go and come in,
go out,
whatever it takes,
it’s all there to share.

no possessions
no religion,
just being and accepting.

3rd in the series of 3, 1st = gaze, 2nd = beyond

BEYOND

darkness falling
in the middle of this day
ancient chants,
bewildering my senses

the vibration of these mantrams
resonating in me
not real for many,
no dream to me,
I feel

the light that remains
lies in the sound
we carry

shining when even the stars
have left to rest.

2nd in a series of 3, 1st = gaze 3rd = further beyond

THE MARRIAGE

high as heaven,
low as hell,
all here, right now,

this planet is what we make of it.
heaven and hell
somewhere in between these
two extremes, we dwell
for most are drawn back and forth

we all are:
the good and the bad
the beautiful and the ugly

could we come to accept that ?
the beholder defines us to be either or.

extremes,
they lie in all of us,
one and one
to make one !

MEMORY

a little spirit,
growing free
slowly turning into …

a memory, all that is left

… a human
living a life

(what life?)

in search of answers,
asked for
thousands of years

who are we ? where did we come from ?
why are we here? where are we going to ?

are these memories,
lost before
again on this passage ?

go all the way to find
out more,
again.

AT WILL

shed a tear
and saw a world fall apart

quietly looking at those;
eager to win

was there something
they chose to forget ?

what you get tomorrow,
may well be
what you gave today.

shed a tear, and
the doorstep into a mind appeared

step inside yourself,
welcome in
you will be

forever changed

at your own will .

GAZE

another late night
gazing at stars,
hidden in a veil of clouds
still can feel them to be there.

gazing at the snow
slowly falling down on us
turning black into white again
can you feel them touch your skin
or is it numb in cold
that is but an illusion of pain

the blood gathering in your head,
are you surprised ?
hanging upside down

gaze is the first in a line of 3, next is beyond, followed by further beyond...

WORTH IT ?

to learn,
could that be
the only thing
to do down here ?
maybe,
we need a little lovin’ too!

both these, no matter how
fucked up your day has been, yet again
can turn it all
into a good evening;

the two as one
or just by themselves
can save your day yet again

and in the end when these are all you have left,
in that moment of your dying, you know !

and it is worth it !

THE WIND

the wind, throwing me in every direction,
teasing my soul to drift
away with it.
swirling all the energies around me,
telling me not to worry about things.
let go
come and fly
the worlds between seen and unseen
your will becomes you vehicle

years you have been waiting
for this union
wind and fire
taking away the crucifix
find your fix in another place
why not start with you heart
no blame to give,
none to take
look for the cause
not the symptoms
drift away on the wind

ONE KIND OF A TRINITY

speaking secret tongues
and unknown languages

that is what it seems to me,
when looking at people's faces
whilst they are listening to me

people are strange,
not only in the rain
whatever;
can it all really be going down the drain ?

they said:
love me two times,
one for tomorrow and one just
for to fucking day

but why not make it three times,
to make it even again
complete the trinity, once more
just one of the ways, it could start one day
could start that way,
a new, freshly born memory

TEMPTATION

truly enjoy
tempting the devil,
but oh why do we seek out
what used to be
the most beautiful of all angels,
until fallen.

tempting the devil
brings you close,
shows you
your own limits

if you’re not up for the fight,
you could end up
dying,
that is if you are willing to

DIE

and I ain’t yet

A MODERN JOURNEY

the old ways, the ones
of the earth
swinging in harmony
with the new ones,
of the sun

to find the balance
could this be our generations'
quest?

bringing technology
into harmony
with the planet's survival
uniting old and new
to become one
advanced life
of awareness and respect
lived by the highest
of standards,
at the greatest ease,
on the way
to perfecting this being.
still long ways to go,
many obstacles to pass.
the will to survive
and a voice of reason
can take you there
led by your inner guidance.

DEATH, MY FRIEND

death changes us all,
when you feel it
walking beside you,
sitting just behind you, always.
you can turn your head all that you want to,
you won't catch more than a glimpse

or when you have let him,
take you all the way,
you know something
inside of you has changed;

the understanding
of all this beauty that surrounds you
lets you breath deeper.
feel the connection
between all that is and has been
and inside us all
it just waits to be awakened,

and sometimes it waits
until the moment,
right before you die
and in the very end
when it all begins
you remember everything

MEMORIES OF A CITY

walked your streets
at day and night,
you are heaven and hell
in the same, sitting there
like a chess-board,
waiting for the figures to move

decadence thriving of
people chasing dreams,
and yet you behold
a strange peace
in these early morning hours
when you almost slumber
and your skies glow
this greenish tone
just over the mountains
surrounding the plains
on which you rose

desert sands, on which
the pyramid sinks
the fastest,
the perfect show,
the banker inside
the holy shape

death is no stranger
to your streets,
often called upon
by broken dreams and greed
but as he is fair to us all,
coming for us all, when our time is right
so you bewilder my senses,
uniting dream and hell
on an ancient desert plain.
