No Return to Eden
War, war, war,
more, more, more
quasi-imperialism in store
for the nation already sore,
and wondering what militarism is good for,
will the present incursion
even decrease our depression
into the face of fear,
oh Lord,
when will we finally learn our lesson
that compassion is the true cure for terror,
as well as our dysfunctional desire
to corrupt our relationship with nature,
so we stare with despair
into the abyss
that stares back into us,
while the question of our survival
at this point of no return to Eden,
has become quite rhetorical.

Divine Mission
One way in,
one way out,
this dense dimension,
living and dying are the same thing,
for people perfect in their passion,
propelling light upon the illusion
to protect creation from destruction,
such vision is divine
within this sacred mission
seeking harmonious solutions
to separation’s questions,
may dear souls illumine the desperation,
before leaving,
with compassion for all beings,
and lessen the pain
for everyone.

Song of Love
You’re as close as my heartbeat,
in my breath,
and in my unspoken intimate thoughts,
in my inspiration
dwells your memory
as a delicate trust
that comforts me,
when I feel alone,
time and space are but an illusion
of separation,
life springs eternal
as truth goes on,
singing a song of love.

Smiling Dragon
I’m not fabulous,
perhaps rather average,
not too big, not too small,
not so pretty,
looks edging on mediocrity,
but still I’ll never be
a polyester embezzler
or a slick-tongued con-man
brimming with hypocrisy,
just a loyal dragon
humble, unafraid, and grateful,
and sometimes,
I’m even a poet
with a loving smile,
and a hard-on.

The Wandering Mind
The little child
screams its immediate fright
through a moment of instant terror,
while the more mature
picks and chooses
what fear to remember,
painting a personal picture
of perceived imperfection,
the ego’s grand illusion,
sailing up the river of denial
full of snapping crocodile,
devouring vicarious expectation
for the duration of the expedition,
such is life
along the rugged terrain
of vivid imagination,
threatening love to bring it on
for a limited occasion,
before sinking into the soupy brine
of carefully designed delusion,
ending the fantasized adventure,
if only for a while,
and impending realization
sets in,
again,
for the wondering mind,
wandering the psychic dimension.
