Hey rider,
where you cruisin

(sunset,
sunrise
moontimes)

go eazy
go crazy
go strong

swimming through the river
of cosmos I found you

(poetry
ecstasy
tears

Distill themselves
into
Music)

eye to eye
you & you
life is an interaction with
one's self

(with existence)

Take these moments
of beautiful destruction
between us and let
them be

we ourselves never
fail
(the dream of you
intertwined with my
viscous DNA)

the blood of killers
in us
rampaging mammals of destruction
(that's why the softness of the bubble
we created has
sustained for
so long)

moments of ecstasy
(poetry is everywhere,
but only the poets see it)

Freedom is more terrifying
than imprisonment,

maybe that's why freedom is the
mantra,
most often chanted
behind the bars of
conformity

I care for the riders
those of the long road
vision beyond themselves

I have no secrets
I confess everything in 
my poetry

If my life was merely
a sweet-ecstatic-manic
Ride...

If this one ride was
metal-burnt fuel- stabbing- violent speed
furious sound
absorbed into
night-pavement

Pressed forcibly upon standers-by
(you would be an angel that
changed the ride
changed-my-time)

 

We are a people that
push beyond walls
(there are no walls, Son
there are No walls)

Only windows without glass
doors in the middle of the ocean
(doors into the spaces we haunted)

Meet me back in our heaven
(the one we vibrated out into the open
that night in the thick darkness,
with the stars, trees and Indian
spirits)

Somewhere,
inside of us
lives the place
the spider knows

(Last night,
while I sat in streetlight
darkness,
on the steps of a
church...)

Run with both
dogs
You need the power
of your light and
your dark

Presence of a warrior
changes everything

(I think we knew how
beautiful we were
even at the time)

eyes shinning out of
our lights

even our sneakers glowed
music of your voice
harmonics of our
souls drifting
through the spheres

(catch a firefly)

I will bear the pain
of all the glory I've seen
Open highway rolling
engine beating out
percussive violence

(rivers of angels streaming
into heavenly repose)

Finding the Buddhas
leaving the Buddhas
to follow my own
road

your name is
what I call

the sacred Goddess
of the inner realms

I will be your angel
(keep your dreams alive)

I will be your shield
(protect you when you
cry)

I will be your wings
(guide you while you
fly)

Forever Goddess of
the inner realms

The Miracle of us
persists

The Healing of us
Exists

Birds of a sky
we don't understand

(cosmic flight of
wonder)

you reach deeper than
stars

deeper than stillness

(impressions of you
alter my...)

that place
gave birth to the
blending of us

(it changed the spiders
and that praying Mantis
I found
sitting in the doorway)

and the moon
came up new
after the circle
shifted
everything

we are the spirit
shapers of this world

and what is beyond
the worlds is the
place where we
are one

(my beloved)

I invoked your name
inside the sacred circle

(right before the god-center of
light poured down truth
into my heart-self)

it was earth-truth
and sky-love

I went into the ground
and the plants of the field
embraced me

(chants of the elders
guiding

chants of the elders
guiding)
