I AM

I AM.
Mindscapes
Perilous.
Labyrinth
Complex.
Vignettes
Paradoxical.
I AM.
The ego
Dualistic
This matrix
Materialistic.
The mirage;
I AM.
The facade;
I AM.
What is the 'I'
Inside this mind?
Outside?
From within?
From without?
I AM.
Yet,
Within
This essence--
THE essence
I AM.
Can there be
A 'we'
Without an 'I'?
Perhaps,
The 'I'
Is the 'we'
Hiding
Inside
Fictitious bounds.
Perhaps,
Alas
I AM...
Not.

I Burn With You

In the river
I burn with you
Cracked flames
Swift current
I flow with you
My supreme healer
Atop the mountain
We float
Serene
Our feet
Never touch the ground
My supreme healer
My heart is open
My hands upturned
I burn with you
I wait
Stoic
Silent anticipation
For your breath
This breath
The breath
Of life
My supreme healer
Our feet
Never touch the ground
I burn with you.

We Dance

Contorted
Sinewy limbs
Contorted
Sweat dripping
We dance.
Symphonic
Melodic
I feel your pain
Eruption near my spleen
We dance
I feel your ecstacy
Rising
Pulsating
We dance
In the rain
In our blood
Cut veins
Amongst beggars
Amongst fools
Amongst patriots
Amongst saints
Contorted
We dance
Until our feet blister
Until our faces hurt
Cracked
Smiles of joy
We dance
Contorted
We dance.

Amidst the Gray

Grace kisses
Closed eyelids
Soft whispers
Inside sighs
The essence
Arises
Amidst the gray
This place
Has no where
No time
No destination
Or limitation
No origination
Or consequence
It is
It was
It shall be
Amidst the gray.
The all is here
Amidst the gray.

In The Fray

Soft
Against all harsh
Supple
Against all stern
Sweet
Against all bitter
Still
Against all frenzy
We lay in shambles
Amidst all ruin
It is here
In the fray
Where
Rebirth lifts
All weary souls
In the fray
All is made new
All is made new.

This Song

Dripping melancholy
From broken eyes
She cries
This song
Clenched throat
Internally bleeding
This song
Weeps
Melodic waves
Vomiting anguish
Gutteral expulsion
Woe unvanquished
This song
Seeps
Dreams
Unrealized
Yet,
We materialize
As we wish
This song
Is
Yet
Unfinished.

We Rise

We rise
As mist
Amidst
Bliss
A pure
Catalyst.
This energy
Surrounds
One aura
Resounds
Uninhibited
No bounds
Symbiosis
Found.
We rise.
There is
No 'I'
But
An 'us'
No avarice
No lust
Only catharsis
Robust.
We rise.
Mystic vapors
My eyes
Are yours
Transfixed
On
Intergalactic realms.
The matrix
Melts.
We rise
As mist
Unfettered
Unbounded
Limitless domain.
We rise
We anneal
We intermix
Transfixed
On
Intergalactic realms.
Stellar symbiosis.
We rise.
