Everflow

 

We are temporal beings
our awareness
awaking slowly
from some infinite place

we flow forth
on a current
of pure energy
in the stream
of all consciousness

our coming to be
unknown to us
as any mystery

learned in stories
in waiting relationships
gradually
we open to our identity

our essence
an enigma

awareness dawning
like the rising
of a newborn sun

we feel its warmth
grow slowly

we see not over the horizon
because we see no horizon
yet

we comprehend no end
immersed only
in our beginning

it is therein exists
the miracle of life
and the quandary of life

our unfolding self awareness
questioning how
where
why

questioning infinity

we are finite beings

but in those moments
infinite beings
dreaming
to sustain the moments

we everflow
from the waters of time
as we flow into eternity

watchers
adrift
on the river of life

flow into me
my love
and we will be the waters
of timeless life

indivisibly immortal

lovers
in an eternal love

Jabberwock’n Luv

“influenced by E. A. Poe, and a nonsense language created by Lewis Carrol in 1871”

 

A ghostly fine lookermiz
with softical smile
swings legnously swell
in rare gurlyghost style

such a scorchiful bodiface
as might burnlybad be
enstokes sultrification
that erosinates me

my steamliful brightenblinks
are maxfirenly dazened
by the beautifalicity
she orbinously blazened

I shoun’t slobbernly droolenate
over her poutifuss chubens
nor tenderliciously ogglenate
her mygodly bububbins

it’s lewdaciously nixicated
to starezing lovlustingly
so as gurlyghost swingulated
I mindated my biznessity

but in dreamyton’s realmenhood
as my memoraticus rememberated
I rezoomefied sweet gurlyghost
as my bloodpumpinator enthrobinated

when morninsun returnified
I wokenated all infatucated
and immediously pledgified
gurlyghost’d be reanimated


enthrobinating bloodpumpinator

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

Spellbound

poet
you are enigma

darkness and shadow
you veil and shroud

fire and light
you burn and incandesce

torch my essence
burn deep my soul
trouble my spirit
unsettle my being

then poet
ignite my wonder

whet my seeker’s vessel
with need
to be filled full

poet
at once familiar
yet
exotically foreign
wonderfully strange

wrongly boxed but
exquisitely wrapped

in angst
indignation
longing
discovery
loss

in love

with all these
and infinitely more
you reach an empty place
deep within

echoing my past
awakening my myths

exposing
that which I embrace
in the moment
as truth

refocus me

stirring my pain
my anger
my loneliness

my hope

offering just enough answer
that I combust with question
sacred uncertainty

I’m held
suspended in inquiry
in memories of neverwas

enrapt by your careful words
transfixed by mystery
elevated by insight
impaled by vision

spellbound
