The Point of Know Return

I

Where'd it go?
What?
The Sun.........

She told me I could confront the world
Thru another’s eyes

I love this dream I’ve come to realize
Yet I hate this love
contradicting hate
contradicting love
contradicting hate
contradicting love
contradicting hate
contradicting love
contradicting hate
contradicting love
I hate this dream
                I’ve come to realize

                   Dream Machine

“who called this dead to dance?”
       The spirit of a GOD
             Hard as a Rock
                                       will roll

What do I say to a GOD?
                               The World?
            "the cracks in The Wall, sir,
             obviously infested
                            infected
             contorted like wild hair
                       freezing.
                           thawing.
                                balling."
                                                          
    The hipster barks

              I say to you all
                  I’m sick of this love
contradicting hate
contradicting love
contradicting hate
contradicting love
contradicting hate
contradicting love
contradicting hate
contradicting love

                               Tell me now
                                          people of the mind
What is electric?
             electric?
             electric?
                             poetry of some sort

                                                 I am the king of the Board
                                                            Counterculture America
    
                            Magician
                               of silhouetted words
                                       hung by home
                                                                    on the line and free.
Help me to teach myself
Help me to write,
Newfound God of Side,
Help me to guide my pen
Help me to see


II

    confrontation,
Earth Wanderer,
            Have you seen where time began?
         Have you preached your sermon
                dead to the idiot body of Man?

       What is pain, elder?
      I want to experience love
             without pain
           LIFE
             without pain
                   (Wanderer, Keep me sane)
                                      We all do.
but
live with the pain  
brings us closer
to Self

                  What is poetry?

Electric of some sort;
     poetry is
an out-of-body experience
flofloating
above auras and the dawn.
     poetry is
to balance on a ball,
to fall
is to succeed
the rules of the pen
are different
here
But the virgin guitar
          sits in the corner of the room
     please explain
             its reason
             for treason
                                          poetry?

it waits…
........…
........…
as you do,
child,
Son of the Sun,
for words;
the guitar waits
for a message from GOD
today
moans tomorrow

A-B-C-D-E-F-G
          notes
          in the form
               of spontaneous prose?
                     Musical code
                          of the talented?

HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND THE TREES
AM I THERE?

not yet,
more of a movement, child
the strings must cry
freely freely
echo within. the
child’s brain
                        mine?
precisely
and that of another
and that of another
and that of another
and that of another
to cry is to scream
to write is to scream
LOVELOVELOVE
a poetic movement
may you live love
and fortune

come with me
let me show to you,
child,
lost brother of Poseidon,
poetry
WE ARE THE ship on an ENDLESS
SEA OF DHARMA


III


I cant see
      my hands
     toes…
modern-day visionary does not
need sight.
the poet can feel warmth
with the mind

(a fire blazing within
   a young man’s
chest,)

Blacker than charcoal
                 blind is
       numb……………………………..
                            normal?
always
refer to the
leaves we hear
there
Am I blind to passion?
          I
             I
                I
patience,
nation’s
youthful face
panic needs time and space
loose fogwinds of spirit can be
found. just
refer to the leaves
refer to the wind
but be mindful
of the ground
Visions of Streams

A forest…
    blessed with subtlety
    vast
    and purer
    than the barren sky
I see-

you do not see…
this, Young Of Ridden Destroyer
is the Orchard of Thoughts
where where the Garden of Eden roams
and the fate of society lies.
pick a memory
off a tree
old old old
green?
quiet
let it roll off the tongue
of
the
pen
sense a strange
rumble of fingers
this, child,
is poetry

farewell

lost within the mind
     how many times before?
but i can feel texas
     convulsing in the south
and i can hear feel her voice
     burning through
     chants of dying guitars                      
scream scream scream
dream dream dream
         music
         musak
         musique
         LOVELOVELOVE


IV


                 Light;
                       a door?
                   Kerouac waving from the other side
                   Contemplating life in the American Night
GOD?
           Wander of Earth, Open Road, Purple Skies?
GOD?
              "Sorry,
           Death awaits eternity."
Door closes
    Chorus
scream scream scream

Entity is of the essence
Bring me back home
from this
Dream World:
golden plated
streets of Chicago
speckled
with
BLACKites?
dream world?

She left me
with post-modern dreams
of a half-filled cup
and this
this
this towering vision
of passion and pattern
can she be......?
Dream Machine

Society is war
        of inner struggle.
                                     poems fly by

I am scared
I am scared
Still can’t see the Sun
scream scream scream
save me Dream Machine
GOD drinks his tea

"The story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye. The story of love is Hello and Goodbye. Until we meet again..." -Jimi Hendrix

Very interesting...with lots of thought, and power in your words.  I enjoyed, although a bit long...could also see the music in this.
