Long Conduits Poems

I do not recall telling him how his kindness made a major impression on my life, but I did share the same with his wife and daughter after his demise. Moreover, I suspect that he...

Lets talk about love

Love is meant to be an opportunity
To share a place in time,
And an open heart for a person, 
That God has designed, just for you.
Love is to be our now,
Our everlasting and...

“Light Winged”




fluid I freely flow
nacreous and immersed
beyond naology  

I am far removed
from the numbers
and rites

of your 
hard-edged, 
strange world 

the seconds 
stretch deeper and higher
than millennia here

I Am 
an ancient soul 
become nascent

light winged...

SPRINGTIME MEMORIES



Mountain sentinels
By ancient town;
Clear waters cascade


Cobblestone streets
Winding pavements;
Trade offerings buzz


Fertile plains
Crystal clear waters;
Shady trees guard


Treasure-hunting stroll...
Through Lijiang Old Town;
Curiosity detours


So many things to see
Pleasant fare tempting;
Buying spree bargains


Artisans at work
Township flings open trade;
Silver metal...

Peace?
No, not in the halls of Congress!
And no, not in the fractious halls
of the United Nations.
Nor in major city streets.

And no I can't demand you fall
down and adore me simply
because of the color of...

There are things that we sow, and we do not desire to reap their harvest.
In fact, we might later engender aversions to the distaste we created.
But there is a fixed law that says, 'we reap...

Before there was a world or a word 
there was unfathomable loneliness
in the gaseous expanse of pin pricked night
an infinite course of vibrations, sound
nascent, coalescing,  gestating,
until planets ripening birthed with souls.

There was only the...

born under the sea, an irresistible force
  two bodies reluctantly embrace, shunting, shifting, tectonic drifting
  alongside the southern Iapetus Ocean
  equatorial deep-time child of Laurentia and Avalonia

I stand neck-high tall
within the quicksand
of my infirmities.
Green and gaunt,
I hesitantly genuflect.

Ravaged tendons and corpuscles
are barely breathing
within the vacant corridors
of a soiled carcass.

My ardor for vindication
has been abandoned.
I presently refrain from accepting
the consultation of 
umbrous...

Tantra being the path of energy
To facilitate divine connectivity
Triad from gross to subtle to emptiness 
Are three basic tools for getting to oneness

Eventually no path higher or lower
Although some are faster and others slower
Essentially divine...

“If God omnipresent, He must be resident within
We must feel then now, bliss tremors on our skin”

heart beating breath flowing thoughts spiralling 
mind body appears to be in incessant motion
limited in space time and senses confining
so we plunge into the void of cessation

thoughts negated so ego recedes
yet pulse of innate aliveness...

Eyes! Eyes! The two of them,
Like guards, at the body's helm,
Like lovers, pining to meet,
Held back by the neb's bridge.

They’ve seen the light and the dark,
The shine, the grandeur and the stark.
The lass, the beauty...

Droves and groves of darkness driven in rickshaws of dissipation
Shake to their foundation heaps and drips of innocence
Grown in salient steps in anticipation
That progress pricks open wounds of imbalance

Weighed against flares of care cultivated
In travails...

I miss the electric hum of a landline.
Some long nights I could hear it listening to itself
as if plugged into several minds all at once.
It was sound without daylight,
night echo’s that lingered into the day.

The blood that remembers
That of brother-to-brother or sister-to-sister 
The blood that holds a family together

The blood we share in toil and strife and in...

I'm not sure what it is,
but for every uttered word,
there is a thought process.
I know; some are saying,
"What about the 'thoughtless'
utterances we often make?"
And there has to be something
between 'garbage in, garbage out'.
Let's just table...

Becoming a storage facility is a necessary accomplishment,
but what I really long to become when I grow up is a conduit.

For my entire Christian life span, I have heard the admonition,
"Let Him have His way"....

Water Sculptor

Winter's cold streams radiant beams foil
No incubating current cuts through the dense soil

Blipping sparks can't light my sensory console

Our amnesia self imposed, as stupor
Dormant, one strain of human chimera
Looking outwards, how within may we bore
Pranic conduits blocked by fear atresia

Awaken hermit! Drink nectar soma
We are the void, yet stymied by closed doors 
Delusional...
