Poems in the World

Impressing The Ant

2009-09-15T06:46:00.000-07:00

Know little, impress the ignorants
Know nothing, impress the masters
Easier said than done said the ant
You have a brain, you have power

I live upon instinct, searching for food
Never alone, never stopping, just death
I have no desires, I have no mood
Yet I know the purpose of my breath

Search to impress me and I'll ignore
Every attempt that you throw
We have no need for a saviour
For there is nothing more to know

I will not stop for any reason
Searching the ground for us all
It wasn’t a collective decision
It’s who we are in this whole

Each of us born with a purpose
That we fulfill till the last hour
While you seek the unconscious
I now believe we have power

Past, Future

2009-09-15T06:29:00.000-07:00

A past with no beginning
A future without end
Each only existing
In the now we transcend

I have no past
That I can remember
It went too fast
Each day a number

I have no future
That I can foresee
Each day we endure
The desire to be

Rewriting the past
Having forgotten
A landscape so vast
No lessons were written

The past, the future
Already exist
Each, the pleasure
Of a second missed

Folly

2009-09-14T08:53:00.001-07:00

There is genius in the folly of man
Because it can, it will change it all
From Anubis to the evergreen Pan
We strive since the original fall

Aren’t we fools to think we’re gods?
Proclaiming dominion over nature
For the mind we love, we laud
Forgets the vegetal that endures

Folly only is, in another’s eyes
As for me, it is the way it is
Why would you hate and deny
What your dogma can’t appease

The mind is free, as the soul knows
Such conventions can’t ever last
So yes, the self-righteous egos
Can be wrong, can be the past

Folly against this beautiful reality
Is a necessity for the true life to be
Just like a cold wind during ecstasy
We’d see it all in its clear divinity

Flaw

2009-09-14T08:53:00.000-07:00

This is a major flaw
I see you as such
I beg you, please go
Am not asking much

The devil’s not pushing
Anyone to do wrong
We’re what we’re thinking
We are that strong

No one else but me, you
Can claim responsibility
For the flaw that grew
Beyond our identity

The voice of reason
Is muffled, inaudible
An ignored lesson
We thought impossible

Thank God for our flaws
They make us human
A reasonable cause
To become brethrens

7 Thoughts

2009-09-14T08:49:00.000-07:00

7 thoughts. All at once

Of hate, of love
Of above, of below
Of a crow, of a dove
In joy, in sorrow
In rejection, in desire
Curiously, disdainfully
Thinking in, thinking out

7 thoughts. All at once

Risen

2009-09-14T05:58:00.000-07:00

For all I know, I'm rising
Leaving my faults afar
Endlessly climbing
Aware of my inner star

Some say born in fault
What do they know?
Judging is an assault
On our need to grow

Far from the madness
That this reality throws
I cry for tenderness
Of the doves, the crows

As I rise, I fall higher
Each step bringing pain
Yet joy grows closer
To my heart slain

Risen he is, risen I am
Never lost, nor wandering
We journey because we can
For we are one, dreaming

Romantic

2009-09-14T05:57:00.001-07:00

Down on my knee
I favour thee
None can see
What could be

Know how I feel
It can't be more real
I can't stay still
So much to reveal

It's a mistake
To want a break
Coming is the wake
A new heartache

My heart frantic
To me speak
Your lips stoic
Feels like a brick

The heart's a weight
To those who wait
Seek, seek your fate
It's never too late

Fire of Lie

2009-09-14T05:57:00.000-07:00

The fire of lie consumes
All those who listen
It’s in all perfumes
In all that glistens

Yet we must succumb
To its charms eternal
To have the right sum
You need a devil, an angel

Know what you want
Remember what you say
Or your words will haunt
The remainder of your days

Is it the truth you seek?
You won’t find it here
It’s not for the weak
It’s not what it appears

It’s hidden in plain view
In the legends of old
A word can be a clue
Others will turn cold

Nothing More

2009-09-14T05:56:00.000-07:00

I wait for nothing more
Than what has been given
The tree of knowing
The snow of the morning
The clouds of rain
The learning of pain
The fire of passion
The agony of reason
The heart of soul
Maybe a rice bowl
The death of life
The arrival of strife
A child to be born
An oath to be sworn
A music to be played
An opinion to be swayed
A dance to be reeled
A mind to be healed

I wait for nothing more

In The Moment

2009-09-14T05:55:00.000-07:00

Nothing more precious
Than the moment we're in
Nothing more obvious
It’s where it all begins

The past is full of changes
The future, full of ideas
No one’s lived there for ages
Deep in dogma, in dramas

You can’t stay in the moment
It’s not ours to hold, to keep
See it without being absent
Seed what you want to reap

It’s all so fleeting, yet connected
As a movie we can’t rewind
Where each scene’s uncharted
Each actor, left behind

Yet in the moment is all there is
Nothing dramatic, nothing religious
We step into each second with ease
Ah, to be free, to never be cautious

Qualities

2009-08-21T00:51:00.001-07:00

I have four qualities
Some of them even good
They are my destiny
They’re my priesthood

The words of a poet
With something to say
Putting life in bracket
To lead you astray

The rage of a warrior
Deep within my soul
The hate of a saviour
Ready to slay, control

The lust of a satyr
Lost in all pleasures
The now’s my attire
A religion of doers

Thinking like a wise man
As I know good and evil
Teaching like the pan
To those who seek an angel

Night of Four Moons

2009-08-21T00:51:00.000-07:00

It was a night like none had seen
Dark, bright, fours moons appeared
The earth shook, reversed its mean
Yet, nothing was to be feared

Valleys turned into mountains
Mountains became lakes
Rivers exploded into fountains
Tropics saw their first snowflake

Time stood, we lived it all
In the change but not of it
Bystanders of the fall
It was done, complete

No one died, no one lived
It seemed but a long dream
Was it true? Did I believe?
Wasn’t it a bit extreme?

In the night of the four moons
We evolved beyond passion
All finally with others in tune
Eternally back into reason

Noise

2009-08-21T00:50:00.001-07:00

It's all noise to me
The words you use
It is but my reality
Yet mine to abuse

It's all noise to me
Each silly excuse
Can’t I see
The life I refuse

It's all noise to me
Sentences so grand
All seem to agree
To my will they bend

It's all noise to me
The songs I cry
I seem carefree
Yet ready to die

It's all noise to me
It’s my voice I hear
I can’t say goodbye
For I am so clear

Affected

2009-08-21T00:50:00.000-07:00

Every death
Every birth
Affects me
Defines me

Every cycle
Every one-off
Takes me
Ignores me

Every start
Every stop
Pushes me
Pulls me

Every morning
Every evening
Wakes me
Tires me

Every word
Every sentence
Teaches me
Confuses me

So Much to Learn

2009-08-21T00:47:00.000-07:00

We have so much to learn
About the bees, the Gods
Oh, kind so stubborn
Why aren’t we awed?

Simple and complicated
This illusion appears so
Yet it should be so feted
For the beauty of the show

We must know it all
To survive such danger
For neither birth nor fall
Seems to make us better

To know, to be wise
Can never be a privilege
For all truths, all lies
Are our only real college

Much to learn we must
Yet all is already in us
Your faith is therefore just
Regardless of the fuss

Not All

2009-08-21T00:46:00.002-07:00

Not all that is out of the past
Makes sense in the present
Some we better forget fast
Others is simply too brilliant

Nothing has disappeared
It is still here, in our stories
All to always be revered
For its wisdom each carries

Not all that is in the future
Is really worth suffering for
Some of it we can endure
Most of it we should ignore

So there is the present
The only gift forever
A tail eater serpent
Teaching us laughter

History keeps all heroes
For us to enjoy, to cry
For God only knows
How we will all die

No Condolences

2009-08-21T00:46:00.001-07:00

No condolences please
Life truly just happen
Be at peace, at ease
Life need not be beaten

It wasn't your fault
We are bystanders
Life comes to a halt
Yet we are its actors

Do not express regrets
It shows little understanding
You must never forget
That all keep on living

Cry if you must, a right
It’ll make you feel better
It’s for your own light
Afraid of your coming hour

No condolences please
It is time to move on
One of many stories
Who’ll never be gone

Exceptions

2009-08-21T00:46:00.000-07:00

Exceptions define us
They fascinate, enthrall
Like a divine chorus
No one’s ever normal

It’s in each difference
That the world thrives
It is not by chance
It’s how we survive

We are independent
Tough individuals
We’re all brilliant
Almost all equals

Born to make a mark
We chose our destiny
Based on a gift, a spark
An ability to shape reality

Yet a separation exist
When such exceptions
Forces us to persist
Against one direction

A Craft

2009-08-21T00:45:00.000-07:00

To be gifted with a craft
Is the ultimate passion
None have laughed
At he with a reason

In hands or in the mind
A skill can set you free
To mold, to not be confined
To an alternative reality

Achieve what others
Can only dream of
Be a standard bearer
Ignore those who scoff

Learn it now, learn it later
But learn how to create
Take a minute, an hour
Make it your own fate

It is ever worthwhile
To achieve mastery
And live in the style
Of the best in History

Am I Wrong?

2009-08-21T00:44:00.000-07:00

Am I wrong to want to be right?
Though I know I won’t always be
It is the search that in me ignites
A sense of the right way to see

Yet to be wrong is a gift divine
To be aware of wisdom unattained
For each step will help refine
A thinking finally unchained

Right and wrong we all are
As we balance in the shade
Of a knowledge without par
An essence of which we’re made

We spend our days finding
What is right, what is wrong
Unaware of the wise man hiding
Deep inside what is but a song

I’m not wrong to seek to be right
It is my sworn duty, my privilege
No one else can take my fight
Each must create its own language

Out of Nothing, Into Nothing

2009-07-31T17:09:00.001-07:00

Out of nothing, into nothing
There is hope in this message
For it is there that we’ll be asking
Is this wisdom or a presage?

Out of nothing we come
As if we could know
It’s the key to a kingdom
That a few souls foresaw

Into nothing we go
A rather empty promise
For a better morrow
Full of joy and bliss

Yet between the two
Stand a now eternal
Where nothing is due
To be carnal, spiritual

We come from a place
That we’ll return into
Choose evil or grace
For both are so true

As Shadows Cast

2009-07-31T08:31:00.000-07:00

As shadows cast their wisdom
Unto this unforgiving light
The flowers mature, blossom
Ready to make everything right

In this world of light and night
Our shadows are reminders
That to achieve eternal delight
We need not to find an answer

We are light, we are darkness
We are not good, we are not bad
We choose our own weakness
We can be happy or truly sad

The shadows do not speak
Yet they mark a certain path
They are part of our mystique
Giving us a darker advice

If we stand under the sun
Apart for one another
Our shadows just run
To connect with its brothers

Behind a Smile

2009-07-31T07:47:00.001-07:00

What's behind a smile
A pain immeasurable
We have joy for a while
In this world so unstable

It’s a mask to avoid pity
As we prefer to be alone
When it comes to our reality
We know what we’ve sown

But to you, I say safely
I’m happy, even elated
You smile, you agree
We’re not yet defeated

Everyday, we balance
Between love and hate
Giving a voice to silence
Giving orders to fate

Behind a smile, I’m alive
Burning in a hellish paradise
I’ll do anything to survive
Knowing that I pay the price

Swept With Violence

2009-07-31T07:34:00.000-07:00

Swept with violence
My mind fights back
Searching a balance
That none can attack

Peacefulness is a myth
For we strive in extreme
What evil lies beneath
This potent insane dream

Blessed with a choice
We define who we are
We cry, even rejoice
Just a star with a scar

Searching for harmony
As we fall among ideas
Each true to his own story
Lost into an eternal drama

I’m swept with violence
In every thought, action
Burning with brilliance
I have no reason

A Thousand Windows

2009-07-31T07:20:00.001-07:00

A thousand windows
In a thousand worlds
Who on earth knows
What had been hurled

Through each, a face
All of us as one, peaking
At the future of our race
Claiming foul, blaming

An unbalanced word
Closes just another
Now, looking inward
Cursing that hour

While its opposite
Brings about a smile
Pushes the limit
But just for a while

A thousands windows
Must stay open always
So that everyone knows
We are life set ablaze

Needed To Learn

2009-07-31T05:35:00.000-07:00

What I needed to learn, no one taught me
I bit the hell out of books and tested it all
Daily, I wrote a page of my destiny
What I truly believe in can make me whole

Some taught me what I didn't need to learn
Others, strangers it seems, did the opposite
A few showed me the world I could earn
If to their self-righteous will, I could only submit

Yet in everyone I met, wisdom was imparted
Often against my will, but always to my benefit
I can only wish, with all the words I chanted
Some touched you and felt truly sweet

As you learn constantly without prejudice
You can fail and move on without a scratch
Finally aware of the true meaning of peace
You find life fascinating, finally able to detach

I’ll never know everything, learning’s not over
It is path that I can’t move away from
It’s addictive to want to become better
Yet the journey, not the end, makes you calm

Oh, Pompeii

2009-07-31T04:01:00.000-07:00

Oh, Pompeii, my love buried
You’ll know not my pain
Why do I alone bleed?
As you died under the rain

Oh, your street bleached by the sun
Will never see the light of day
As that God will take another run
You’ll freeze in eternal dismay

Oh, do I long to see you again
Why did I leave to cross the bay?
I was truly happy, especially then
For I knew I’d be back your way

Oh, to be wrong without forgiveness
A punishment stronger that hate
My lame words, I can only confess
Describe my haste to join your fate

Oh, Pompeii, so imperfect
You were the right bride
I’ll be your eternal subject
A wanderer without pride

Too Long

2009-07-31T03:43:00.000-07:00

You’ve waited too long
Afraid to be so wrong
She will never know
That you loved her so

Is this the love you want?
Unclaimed, to forever haunt
Your tortured soul, sadly
Who needs such a reality?

It is much better to fail
Than to hide behind a veil
Of excuses and reasons
Every single one a treason

Be bold and claim your due
To your heart, just be true
It is your birthright to love
A gift from the Gods above

Time matters very little
Go forth, propose, hustle
Tell her your dreams
Let her your heart redeem

No One's Coming

2009-07-31T03:23:00.000-07:00

No one's coming to rescue you
It's up to you to find your way
To let your soul die anew
Even let your mind go astray

Are you lost on the right path?
Or going fast on the wrong road
Did you start it out of wrath?
Or fell into what you’d sowed

Seek not another’s views
You followed a different river
Both of you will be confused
You own your own answer

Search or wait if you must
Do not lose sight of reality
There’s no one you can trust
To take care of your destiny

Everything is a choice
Even the state you’re in
Even if it’s bad, rejoice
For no one is coming

Forever Lost

2009-07-31T00:32:00.000-07:00

A fleeting idea passing through
Unrecorded and so, lost forever
There is nothing you can do
It wasn’t its time to make us better

All ideas are funny that way
Claiming dominion on their time
Only when we’re ready to play
Waiting till then for the right clime

Even stranger, you can save it
Publish it, tell everyone, scream it
No mind will register nor benefit
For the time it came didn’t fit

Since the beginning of time
Ideas have been expressed
Some are still in their prime
Others, have been put to rest

For those we were not ready for
They wait for us all to mature
Then they’ll be brought to the fore
Through a poem in itself so pure

Don't

2009-06-30T20:48:00.000-07:00

Don't leave me alone
I might not like myself
I'm stranger of my own
With no sense of self

This is not a testament
To an insane dependence
It's just when you're absent
I can feel your presence

I can stand on my own
I've been there before
But now that I've known
I simply want more

It's with you that I'm alive
That I feel for tomorrow
That I push, that I strive
To be your true hero

Two souls, one purpose
Entangled eternally
In the dance of the rose
Oblivious to finality

A Song in the Morning

2009-06-30T19:30:00.001-07:00

A song in the morning
I pray, I beg of you
A few words that ring
As the day becomes anew

A rhythm, a note, a voice
It's all it takes to be free
After that, it's all a choice
Though it's time to boogie

As you sing, life disappears
Your pains are left behind
They might even reappear
But not before you unwind

So sing till you can no more
Then sing one last song
Till you finally find the cure
To all that's gone wrong

Life is but a melody
We, the singers
A musical reality
Born in laughter

A Sinner's Joy

2009-06-30T19:03:00.001-07:00

Can a sinner experience joy?
At least for a moment it seems
The pleasure of the flesh destroy
Every fantasy, even all our dreams

Yet to sin is forever tempting
We were designed to succumb
To a life forever ending
In the pleasure of the tomb

We reveal ourselves in sin
Our hidden thoughts arise
The without is the within
We are one in disguise

The righteous will claim foul
To the idea that we could enjoy
What comes from our bowels
Where pleasure is but a toy

Yet a sinner's joy is in the mind
A star storm triggers ecstasy
And if you are so ever inclined
Join us in our sinful humanity

Many Paths

2009-06-30T18:44:00.001-07:00

Many paths lead to the same end
As many Gods will give you advice
Some even promising you'll ascend
Into heaven, if you pay the price

Many paths bring me to you
No matter how lost I am
There is nothing I can do
We're pawns in this scam

Many paths take me away
Tempted by every crossroads
It's like an indecent foreplay
As I listen to the devil's code

Many paths lead to nowhere
Existing in my mind only
To be Frank, it's not fair
It's not even my name, really

Many paths are but circles
Leading back to their start
It's like an endless cycle
As we're never far apart

Bruises & Scars

2009-06-30T17:33:00.001-07:00

Bruises worn with pride
Scars, badges of pain
There's no point to hide
It doesn't always rain

Each a proof you're alive
Ready to fight, to act
Against odds, you thrive
Always in full contact

Taking risk in your hands
A choice to never be bland
At home, in different lands
At least once, to be grand

Some will fade, others eternal
A right of passage for the brave
Each impact your seeking soul
They'll join you in the grave

Marking the episodes
Of a day full, beautiful
This is your code
A need to rule

We Know

2009-06-30T08:36:00.003-07:00

We know it all, so we think
At an early age it seems
As life passes in a blink
We loose that insipid dream

Mankind aims to be better
Yet looses what it once knew
At the whims of a pope, a Caesar
We forget what once was true

To know that we know nothing
Is pop psychology at its best
We know a little something
On that we build the rest

Strangely, knowledge is immutable
What was once known, still exists
It needs to be found by the able
Those capable of following the twists

So what you know is just that
You may seek more at all times
Stay ignorant, it's your right
Do not complain at nighttime

Lost Friends

2009-06-30T08:36:00.001-07:00

We loose friends from time to time
We don't know where we've put them
One second, we're playing till past nine
The next, we can't remember their name

It was a joy to know them, sadness to not
We might meet again along a different path
Exchange memories of the battle we fought
Then move on, enter our own impasse

For those moment we shared, I cry alone
I knew not then what they were, what they are
They are my life condensed to the bone
It was I, it was they, life's so bizarre

Everyday was an experience, a test
Decisions taken with little thoughts
We were alive, no time to rest
Running across time's empty lots

We were friends, we'll stay that way
Time is nothing in this equation
We talked then, we have more to say
Friendship is eternal, always in motion

Life's Crime

2009-06-30T08:35:00.004-07:00

A life not lived is a crime
Against all who've fought
To make it ever so sublime
By the same simple thought

Aware every single second
To live, you must be alive
Always able to respond
To never stop, never arrive

Making a mistake is a present
Given to a perfect yet restless soul
To grow, declare your talent
To a lost world without a role

Claim this birthright so ancient
That no one knows its origin
Why do seek the coiled serpent?
Couldn't we live the earth virgin?

We are who we are because we can
A life not lived is a sad testament
To a creator who made us free-men
So we could become brilliant

Wait No Longer

2009-06-30T08:35:00.003-07:00

Wait no longer, choose your path
Select the role you want to play
Stomp on the forbidden grass
Ignore those who decide your way

There is nothing you need to wait for
It's already all in your heart, your soul
Needing to just let it come to the fore
Do not fight what makes you whole

The more you wait, the harder life is
As you do what you weren't meant for
Your suffering comes with relative ease
As you forget the child you were before

Waiting serves no one, it's for the weak
Time never comes back, it moves on
Should you choose to be unique
Regrets and fear will all be gone

Wait no longer, claim your heritage
For everyone that made a mark
Is your ancestor in this voyage
It is now time for you to embark

To Be Loved

2009-06-30T08:35:00.001-07:00

To let yourself be loved is hard
It's easier to love without rewards
For to accept another's regard
You must let down your guard

You must let the other see you
As you are, without being uneasy
Your faults will be in plain view
Yet you'll be followed blindly

Of another's love, you are worthy
It doesn't matter who you are
It is one of life's greatest mystery
Someone sees your star

You might be seeking such road
Or following a preset destiny
Along the way, life will explode
Taking you away from reality

To be loved is a gift eternal
Yet so few of us can accept it
For it's a fire so harsh, so final
No one knows if we are fit

A Son

2009-05-31T23:20:00.001-07:00

A son’s always born noble
No matter his ancestry
Need not to prove he’s able
To anyone but he

Live not through your son
It is not his destiny
Achieve your own union
Claim your destiny

Let him develop at will
Create and destroy
Though you can instill
The will to learn, to joy

Guide, never direct
Show the end, not how
Let him stand erect
And experience his now

A son reports to none
But his soul ever perfect
Just as you had done
So give him respect

For the first time

2009-05-31T18:53:00.001-07:00

For the first time
I wouldn't miss this
The endless grime
The eternal beauty

Magic in everything
In pain and sorrow
Doing the right thing
Standing in a shadow

Being awed always
Jaded beyond repair
Setting a heart ablaze
Freezing in despair

In each first time
We know reality
Feeling the sublime
Even in the nasty

Everything’s a first
Nothing’s repeated
Keep your thirst
It can’t be defeated

No Certainty

2009-05-31T18:20:00.001-07:00

There is no certainty
For sure, not even death
As we are, but truly
Sons of our faiths

Yet we speak surely
As we know it all
Giving ever so freely
What we can’t recall

Tomorrow will come
Even we’re not here
Yet we can’t fathom
It actually disappears

We’re certain we’re right
We own the right thinking
So we argue, start to fight
Finding solace in forgiving

There is no certainty
Though we claim to differ
We think ever so passively
Choosing another’s answer

Senseless words

2009-05-31T18:05:00.001-07:00

Sitting all afternoon
Talking about nothing
Doing it again soon
This is true living

Senseless banter
With no purpose
But to enjoy an hour
Without any fuss

Wasted away today
Gone tomorrow
No creation, no decay
No joy, no sorrow

Speaking endlessly
With no other reason
To enjoy effortlessly
Each other’s passion

Senseless words
Mean nothing
Yet we’re wizards
Of never ending

Absence

2009-05-31T17:58:00.000-07:00

Death doesn't exist says the mystic
Yet we feel the pain of absence
Every second so much more realistic
How can we be without that essence?

As long as we live on this side
We'll know the power of distress
Here, there is so much to hide
Everyday we feel a little less

Love in your absence goes away
Cruelly, little by little, day by day
Nothing we do can make it stay
Yet, somehow, we’ll be ok

We’ll remember joy and pain
Aware that we were in love
That feeling we can’t explain
Will disappear here and above

It is true, love cannot exist
Yet we claim it to be eternal
Only the pain will persist
As your absence is final

A Sign

2009-05-31T16:53:00.002-07:00

Whether waiting for a sign
Or deciding your fate
The two forever divine
Life you can never negate

A sign means nothing
If you’re not ready to see
That life’s only meaning
Is to give your all freely

What is written in the stars
Is drawn from your blood
You’d be going very far
If you knew what you’ve got

Signs are everywhere
Waiting for interpretation
You just need to be aware
Of being in this union

Listen to the sound eternal
Watch the light so bright
Touch a life so fragile
Smell your birthright

Signs develop subtly
From dawn to sunset
Some clear, others blurry
Watch, never forget

Life's Though

2009-05-31T16:53:00.001-07:00

Oh little one, so pure, so brave
To prepare you for life's challenge
We should deny you the love you crave
Yet we must give it, we can't change

Life is though you see, even scary
You'll face dangers of all kinds
A friend will turn in an enemy
Others will pretend, rob you blind

Not even death should scare you
As you learn life's endless mysteries
Wisdom written in everything you do
Stamped in nature for all eternity

Listen to the wind speak his mind
Let the fire burn your passions
Rest on the earth, let your soul unwind
Drink from its source beyond reason

Trust others but don't be fooled
Listen much and speak often
Obey sometimes, never be ruled
See God everywhere, have fun

Self-righteous

2009-05-31T16:52:00.002-07:00

How wonderful it is
To be on truth's side
Life comes with ease
With 'nothing' to hide

How many self-righteous
Have sinned and hidden
Some are even famous
In their role God given

Convinced without doubt
In the truth of their words
Their thoughts they tout
Covering others in turds

The self-righteous denies
Our right to think freely
Seeing dissent as unwise
Theirs is the only reality

None of us should judge
One with a different opinion
We should focus that urge
On knowing our mansion

No Longer

2009-05-31T16:52:00.001-07:00

Unable to appreciate the moment
Preferring the past, even the future
Finding no solace, becoming distant
Each second is a pain to endure

Unwilling to love, to get angry
Afraid to hurt, scared of being so
Yet enjoying the fragile reality
That in being alone, you can grow

Unafraid of staying forever silent
Letting my opinions disintegrate
Living life with no one's agreement
Finding joy without entering the gate

Unsoiled by another's frailty
I see mine without judgment
Praising the same reality
That made me so reluctant

No longer the fruit of another tree
I create my own forest sublime
Eliminating the moment to be free
Living all seconds at the same time

Descent

2009-05-31T16:36:00.001-07:00

I had my descent into hell
And it was good, fulfilling
I found something to sell
That was never ending

There was everyone I knew
It felt like coming home
It was finally all so true
I would never be alone

Some had been there so long
They'd forgotten everything
There, nothing was wrong
That truth was appealing

I'd still be there I believe
If not for his intervention
To belong here you must believe
As it is beyond any reason

This was a dream, not a reality
I had to face this painfully
Hell only exist in our destiny
When we imagine it faithfully

In its Absence

2009-04-30T19:33:00.001-07:00

In the absence of truth, we have humour
Here lies another eternal irony
For in humour, rests the truth’s odour
As we laughs, recognising its verity

This is not a poor substitution
It’s its essence distillated in words
With faces, sounds or actions
To laugh is the way only forward

Truths is not always present
We miss it only when it’s gone
So to survive without resentment
We crack jokes till the new dawn

It’s also hard to accept from another
So the master creates a story
Hiding reality behind a blunder
Till you accept its undeniable veracity

Having a sense of humour is a gift
Cherish it, nurture it, even share it
Do not let the righteous go adrift
Thinking it’s a sin we should omit

Everybody's Worthy

2009-04-30T19:13:00.000-07:00

Everybody's worthy
No exceptions
If you disagree
You have reasons

Yet you are worthy
Even if your actions
Can make you weary
They are common

Truly, what we do
Counts little finally
We have no clue
As to this reality

Yet in the moment
Simply do unto others
What to you is pleasant
We are all beggars

Everybody’s worthy
A truth hard to accept
We think so surely
We’re a better adept

Stop

2009-04-30T18:04:00.000-07:00

My mind often tells me stop
And I sometimes listen to it
Thinking she’s lost the plot
That annoying little twit

I carry-on often illogically
Going so far out of reason
Even if she doesn’t agree
Let’s get out of that prison

So I live balancing between
Logic and sweet emotions
Knowing neither can ever win
They are too many options

After all, why stop when it’s fun
What dictates what I should do?
Society or experience makes me run
Yet do they really have a clue?

Thinking my mind was my own
I pass my days in the clouds
Looking down on the unknown
Of my own personal crowds

Ego Minister

2009-04-30T08:11:00.001-07:00

I minister to myself
I am my biggest flock
I stand on a bookshelf
To listen to me talk

I write my own sermons
As I preach to me alone
I cast my own demons
I’m the angel who’s flown

I give my own blessings
To my every thoughts
I am the eternal being
Who no one has fought

I create my own rituals
Facing the true mirror
Eating the only apple
Unleashing my horror

I am the minister of my ego
I listen for I speak the truth
There’s no one I can follow
I’m the fountain of youth

Too Many

2009-04-30T08:10:00.006-07:00

Too many words
Not enough flowers

Too many thoughts
Not enough trees

Too many discussions
Not enough horizons

Too many viewpoints
Not enough reason

Too many clowns
Not enough laughter

Too many philosophers
Not enough wisdom

Too many dancers
Not enough dancing

Too many actors
Not enough life

The Gift

2009-04-30T08:10:00.005-07:00

Nothing, you are saying
Until you are singing
To the living, the dying
Only that has a ring

It’s your voice we crave
Your thoughts so brave
Why would you deprave
All those you can save

Speak often and loud
Make us so very proud
That you’re allowed
To know this crowd

Carry all of us far away
With sounds that sway
So that maybe, someday
We’ll know the true way

What you have is a gift
With it, any soul you’ll lift
Do not let it ever go adrift
Make us ready for the shift

Word Power

2009-04-30T08:10:00.003-07:00

I know the words to melt you down
And others to hurt you forever deeply
I use them precisely, they're sound
That vibrates your soul unwary

Front the first, second and last
They shape your life, your destiny
Just like time, they pass so fast
Never to retain your memory

They are evil in their beauty
Unable to forgive, nor forget
They remind us of our frailty
In each of the seconds we regret

We were here before they were
We made them what they are
We forgot that it was in anger
We created words to go far

They’ll go when we remember
That we think best in images
Conveying the secret we’re after
Eternal wisdom of the ages

The Unlake

2009-04-30T08:10:00.001-07:00

We swim in it often
The unlake has no end
Its shores are beaten
Just like an old friend

We walk it never alone
Surrounded by soul mates
Who are ready to condone
Our deeply rooted hate

Many lives are hurt
By its unnerving waves
Relentless yet in concert
Erasing even the braves

We all have to cross it
To reach the same shore
We might even commit
To its endless rancor

If you haven’t guessed
The name of the unlake
Prepare to be a guest
As despair for you waits

A Good Day

2009-04-30T08:09:00.005-07:00

A good day is one when I barely sin
When everything seems normal
No temptations shows within
I’ve lost the will, the desire to fall

A good day is when your smiles
Refresh my reasons for living
They’re like decorated tiles
On the wall of time never ending

A good day is when we trust all
Aware that the world we see in
We designed to rest our souls
Teaching others a life never ending

A good day is when I let God
Reach deep to the end of me
As I realise, isn’t that odd
That he is me, that we are he

A good day starts with you
When we share thoughts, ideas
There is nothing we can’t do
When we’re unprotected by dogma

Evolved Descent

2009-04-30T08:09:00.003-07:00

We're not monkeys
They behave better
They hold the keys
To our real nature

We think we’re evolved
Yet we lost so much
Wisdom has dissolved
In the hands of a church

Behaving like animals
We shame our cousins
Preferring not to battle
Watching over our coffins

Our words are complex
Having lost all senses
We’re so far the apex
Where it truly commences

Our evolution is descending
We know what we’re doing
The beasts will keep breathing
As we argue our undoing

The Dream of Death

2009-04-30T08:09:00.001-07:00

The dream of death is powerful
It decides on the fate of religions
It creates the belief we need to rule
Over others, over our passions

Faultless in his eternal progression
Inevitable from the very first start
We over thought its primal reasons
Thinking we’d never take it to heart

Yet a dream is but a dream
Never to decide our fates
An endless thought stream
Irresponsible in what it creates

Death is the ultimate door
Shared between two realities
Each thinking there is more
On the other side of the key

The dream of death will not end
Nor will it start to make sense
It matters not if we make amends
It’s all but pure nonsense

Same God

2009-04-30T08:08:00.002-07:00

We pray to the same God
In our houses of stones
Yet others seem odd
As we judge the unknown

Their books are our books
Ancient, given from above
Different paths we took
To reach the same love

We fight each other
Over a finer point
Yet in that funeral hour
We’ll end in the same joint

Religions and philos
Rise to your teachings
Let go of your egos
Count your blessings

We will not wait for you
To evolve and mature
We’ll create without ado
A spirituality that endures

The Moment

2009-04-30T08:08:00.001-07:00

Take the moment seriously
So you can have fun in it
Not all that passes as reality
Is painful, or even sweet

Is the moment all there is?
Cause we seem to flow
In each second with ease
We can only but follow

In a moment life has passed
Years in a frozen second
Every action crumbled
Into one eternal sound

The moment is a gift
That stays in the present
Forever still, forever adrift
Only a God can grant

So, yes, we only have a moment
To express our love, our feelings
To regret for being absent
To forgive and be life giving

Ripped

2009-03-31T06:35:00.005-07:00

A heart ripped apart
Bleeding from the soul
Aware from the start
This wasn’t the goal

It began open ended
With nothing to hide
Talking as if haunted
By a joy without pride

Growing into passion
Lost in world unaware
We lived beyond reason
Letting everyone stare

I didn’t see it coming
It ended without a word
It was just a morning
Yet a sunset so absurd

My heart is eternally ripped
Nothing can replace that
One day I’ll change the script
And regain what you spat

Trying Not To Hide

2009-03-31T06:35:00.003-07:00

Trying hard not to hide anything
I hold the deepest secret of old
I know a word so soothing
It will turn lead into pure gold

You know it well, heard it before
Felt it sounded rather pleasant
Unaware that it would restore
Any soul that became absent

Know that it was never truly lost
It traveled in speech and stories
Hidden from the useless frost
Of frozen hearts and memories

You might speak it rather often
Thinking it must belong to you
It’s universal, next time listen
You might learn a thing or two

I try hard to hide absolutely nothing
Yet if I told you what that word was
You’d think that I must be kidding
You knew it before it ever was

Shadow On My Soul

2009-03-31T06:35:00.001-07:00

There is a shadow on my soul
A sense of satisfied despair
Unsure of what is my role
I know what should be fair

Was I born with this defect
An ancestral affliction
Passed to sons as an object
A heritage beyond reason

I live with it as my shadow
Follows my every moves
I noticed it so long ago
I no longer of it disapprove

It is with me often for worse
Tainting any sound judgment
Some would it call it a curse
Yet it looks like a talent

There is a shadow on my soul
Yet it affects only my mind
Perfection remains whole
Free of what makes me blind

An Innocent’s Death

2009-03-31T06:34:00.003-07:00

What makes us kill children
Without even an afterthought
Are we so lame, so broken
That we’re no longer distraught

Spare me the taint of an apology
How do we know how one feels
When a loved one is taken from thee
We will know the depth of the ordeal

Innocence cannot be learned
It’s a birth gift we all possess
No one returns to be burned
We come to show noblesse

So why kill the innocent?
What could they have done?
Showing hatred to an infant
Forces us to go on and on

Are you innocent, son of sin
Didn’t your god tell you so?
Is your patience’s wearing thin
In the light of another’s halo

The Lost World

2009-03-31T06:34:00.001-07:00

The past is all but lost
Like a world forgotten
We want at all cost
To come back often

Time goes but one way
Our mind cannot fathom
That any of the old days
Could again become

So a story is made
To remember them
And as they fade
They leave a poem

Yet but once is time
An eternal second
A timeless crime
Against reason

A second has passed
And that world is lost
It’s but life’s impasse
It’s the price, the cost

Crossroad

2009-03-31T06:33:00.004-07:00

Am at another crossroad
Unsure of turning where
Choices are all so broad
Success, all so rare

How did I end here again?
Lost among uncertainty
It’s all confusing, all so Zen
Even not choosing is a reality

Though I can turn around
Look or walk in my past
Hoping that this time round
I’ll make choices that last

Should I turn? Go straight?
Call the Devil for advice?
After all, nothing dictates
That my mind will suffice

I’ll choose eventually
To but move forward
Waiting ever so eagerly
As the road turns inward

Small Things, Big Things

2009-03-31T06:33:00.003-07:00

It’s in the small things
That big ones are born
It’s only the beginning
Of a story well worn

We tend to make mountains
Out of so many molehills
Yet aren’t we the captains
Of our souls, our minds, our wills?

Some see the devil in details
Others see God in all splendour
Breaking free of dogmatic tales
Is the only way to become better

A small light will shatter darkness
Though it’s easy to kill it soon
The right idea will do no less
No one can ever be immune

A big thing today shrinks tomorrow
We never live in the same world twice
A small thing blows-up tomorrow
Seek both, it’s the only price

Forgiveness

2009-03-31T06:33:00.001-07:00

To forgive would force me to judge
Anyone who would comes to me
I often think my way, I do not budge
A dogma made from what I see

I think I’m right rather than not
Who could argue with my logic
My truths, my beliefs are all I got
You don’t believe me, oh cynic?

I’m told forgiveness is divine
By good thinkers and well doers
For those who cross the line
Expect nothing from such actors

Here lies a fallacy in thinking
To forgive you must have judged
Doing therefore the evil’s bidding
Your reputation forever smudged

Do not question my authority
And I will not question yours
Leave me to fail beautifully
Let me not close any doors

Killing Destinies

2009-03-31T06:32:00.001-07:00

Starting every forth century
With a renewed sense of hope
We sense the end of reality
As a knot in a mystical rope

Shattered on the battlefield
Cause we think we think better
Such hope we’d better conceal
Till it’s time for the thereafter

The thoughts of tomorrow
Bathed in faith and joy
Always find their echo
In what we can destroy

To protect our own destiny
As we fear all new ideas
We kill and shield bravely
Those with different auras

In their death life resonates
Ready to forgive the few
Who‘d leave all to their fate
Letting them be true

Last Sun

2009-03-31T06:30:00.000-07:00

Seeing the sun for the last time
Sadly aware that in the morrow
Life will finally become sublime
As we forget our fear and sorrow

It was a sun like any other day
Round, brilliant, edgeless
Always ready to give way
To the Goddess moon no less

Though this morning it was back
Unchanged, just as we remembered
We knew something wasn’t quite right
As if all questions had been answered

Yet the last day passed without doubts
Somehow everyone knew their destinies
Without a word, a cry or even a shout
We marched into the night with ease

The last sun will not be our end
No dogma can convince us of that
It will be just like an old friend
Ready to listen, ready to chat

Remember

2009-02-28T07:45:00.001-08:00

Who will ever remember
Who fell in love, who didn’t?
Who’s worse, who’s better?
Who’s an idiot, who’s brilliant?

The memories of man are shallow
We mold them to suit our needs
We forget what we don’t want to know
We keep what we need to succeed

The same thought, the same action
Is remembered differently by all
Balancing between fact and fiction
We teach the truth on what we recall

Yet all we are has been recorded
For all to see today and forever
Our sins and all we hold sacred
Kept in a stone truly stellar

Who can read from this book
But the one who’s writing it
For we all know where to look
Inside, where the soul sits

Thinking It’s all Me

2009-02-28T05:08:00.001-08:00

Thinking it’s all me
Would be arrogant
Denying, you see
A God so ancient

Thinking it’s all me
Would take you out
We wouldn’t agree
Each on his route

Thinking it’s all me
Would claim the life
Of an innocent baby
As it shies from strife

Thinking it’s all me
Would make me bitter
Of all I had not be
Oh, to have been better

Thinking it’s all me
Removes the divine
No one will be free
No one will be fine

Thank you for…

2009-02-28T05:07:00.005-08:00

Thank you for…

The days gone by
The lives, the loves
The screams, the sighs
The bees, the doves

The young, the old
The mistakes, a few
The stories we told
The idiot, the guru

The passion, the sex
The food, the drinks
The words of an ex
The eternal sphinx

The work, the money
The truth, the doubts
Chocolate covered honey
And those darn trouts

But most of all, I have to say
Some things could not have been
Without the ultimate birthday
So thank you for my passing

In The Moment

2009-02-28T05:07:00.003-08:00

To be in the moment
Is to miss no one, nothing
Beyond being content
Life finds its meaning

In that eternal second
You are indivisible
Passing beyond
All are equal

Wisdom is revealed
Not by words or songs
But a light unsealed
Nothing is wrong

You see it all
Life’s true sense
Truly adorable
Sincerely immense

The past, the future
Exist no longer
Nothing to endure
Nothing maters

The Night

2009-02-28T05:07:00.001-08:00

The night leaves traces
That the soul remembers
Wearing a million faces
We have to surrender

Living in an altered state
Just as real as the past day
We can take risks, tempt fate
If we only knew the way

Life we can't control
Dreams even more so
In both we play a role
In each we must grow

Initiate of the night
Remember the lessons
That you can't be right
If you're pure reason

Respect the night
As it takes you whole
Tomorrow, the light
Will give you all

Another Day

2009-02-28T05:06:00.004-08:00

It was just another day
As the few who cared
Had simply passed away
Finally, eternally spared

Yet it’s never a simple day
For in all, all is possible
As there is but one way
To define the unreasonable

Tomorrow, today, yesterday
Three days in which we live
Two can lead you astray
One can leave you pensive

Tomorrow, will you be there?
To see the sun rise again
Or will you finally be aware
That no light shines in vain

There will be another day
For our children to see
If we come back this way
Let us remember happily

Universal Moral

2009-02-28T05:06:00.003-08:00

One universal moral
Has to exist in time
A word that says it all
A thought sublime

Searching eternally
For a truthful reason
Nothing exist really
Life’s but a prison

Yet to deny reality
Is a waste of time
For we are, really
Children of I am

As of the original word
No one ever thought
To keep a record
Of what was taught

Why do such a thing
As it is universal
So it’s in your being
In the good, in the evil

Demon's Whispers

2009-02-28T05:06:00.001-08:00

Are my thoughts all true?
Are they a demon's whispers?
The truths I know are few
Some even belong to the hour

When I calm my confused mind
Do I hear gods or angels talking?
A noisy chatter of the blind
Unaware of where I'm walking

If it sounds too good, is it truly so?
Is it disguised to make us fall?
Is this the path we must follow?
What's the answer? Is it a riddle?

Though we know how to question
The answers are most uncertain
Doubting the source and its reason
Unable to see who’s behind the curtain

What is a demon’s whisper?
When the words are so familiar
We’re not that good a reader
Often taking the truth of a liar

Creature of Midnight

2009-02-28T05:05:00.002-08:00

I'm creature of the night
I prowl in search of a fight
Creating an atmosphere so tight
I see you, my prey, finally in sight
Innocent victim, sleep tight
Under a moon silver and bright
Striving in the absence of light
Reflecting shadows give fright
You know not what you ignite
As you cross to the twilight
Whether wrong or right
We dance a soulless rite
Who knew that what we unite
Are an Angel, a Devil, tonight
Everything will be all right
As you know, it is midnight

Expensive

2009-02-28T05:05:00.001-08:00

Oh, wasted life, so expensive
Costing its owner, and you
Working without reprieve
Yet so little we truly do

A second is an expense
Against life's account
Arrogance, even pretense
What do we want?

We loose a life given
Wasting time joyfully
Yet the gift's uneven
As we steal mercilessly

Life is a precarious balance
As we take, so we must give
It's almost like a romance
The middle is to forgive

A life wasted doesn't come back
We might as well invest it all
Feeling, loving, being out of whack
We might as well have a ball

Hate

2009-02-28T05:04:00.000-08:00

The urge to hate is strong
A river of lava in the veins
In an instant, all's wrong
Hating everything in vain

The world has changed
Taken over by pain
A joyless sun is blamed
For such a sinful stain

To hate with a passion
Rarely seen in nature
After losing all reason
The night we must endure

No one truly knows why
We suffer such a fate
Yet at the moment we die
We know it's not too late

To hate can't be divine
As such we assume
Unaware the sublime
For it, make room

Greed & Faith

2009-01-30T17:09:00.001-08:00

Greed so tempting
Faith so fragile
What’s winning
Isn’t it futile

Desires rule
Unchecked
Make us full
In all aspects

Faith’s a choice
Without thinking
It is the voice
That’s asking

We sway all day
One’s natural
The other, a way
We’re so fragile

Aim for balance
Or choose either
Both the essence
Of this creature

I Fight

2009-01-30T05:30:00.003-08:00

I fight the intolerant
Teachers who crush
The less than ignorant
The infant in a rush

I fight ignorance
In me and others
With faith, science
I test our valour

I fight the words
That kill innocents
Speaking like a bird
Often barely decent

I fight weakness
Mostly just mine
Avoiding blandness
In the thoughts I design

I fight my own battle
With no one else
It’s my cage I rattle
I fight myself

The Supreme Cause

2009-01-30T05:30:00.001-08:00

Fighting our way through a life unwanted
Spent focusing on the value of a stone
Forgetting the supreme cause of the gifted
To develop a spirit we can call our own

As nations separated from religion
It’s time for faith to create its own rift
To leave dogma, regain its passion
To truly understand, it is its own gift

No matter whether you’re rich or poor
Your supreme cause is the same as mine
To develop your spirit and truly implore
Your own divinity, and stop being so blind

It is far fetched to search for it outside
When all along it was entrenched inside
Sometimes buried, often willingly denied
In some cases, even killed by pride

The supreme cause is for us to take
To make it ours, to love and cherish
It nourishes our soul, turns it awake
No matter if you follow a god or a fetish

One Hundred Steps

2009-01-30T05:29:00.003-08:00

Everyday, for so many years
I climbed a hundred steps alone
For the right to learn, to culture
For the right to be my own

No questions, it was the path
Between home and school
No hatred, no common wrath
They sat, facing me, the fool

Each step but a short barrier
Taken in stride, all the way
To reach the ultimate altar
The top, where all would pray

Climbing-up started our day
The same way down, closed it
A temporal ritual, an ancient ballet
Where all kids were getting fit

I miss those stones without end
That’s how it felt before the first
Just as an initiation would intend
We learned by being immersed

Mind

2009-01-30T05:29:00.001-08:00

My mind’s no longer mine
I lost it on the way here
It won’t make a headline
I know it’s somewhere near

It’s such a fleeting thing
Neither here nor there
Sensing it without asking
We know we are aware

I can argue my case well
With another, as an equal
Yet everything that we sell
Is rarely true or factual

As I supposedly grow wise
The certainties of my youth
For which I’d let you die
They’re no longer the truth

Why is it here, with us?
Easily confused with a drink
I suspect I am conscious
What do you think?

I Not Understand

2009-01-30T05:28:00.002-08:00

What’s with languages?
And their constructions
Some birthed in the ages
Other as new as fashion

What’s with their constructions?
Their rules, grammar, accents
Some have their own reasons
Others are sons of events

We think, we speak, we write
We write as we pretend to speak
We think what we say is alright
In that way, as a kind, we’re unique

We spell the same word differently
Among ourselves, even ourselves
We change and mold reality
In books lost on bookshelves

I don’t understand
I do not understand
I donot understand
I not understand

Nothing Good

2009-01-30T05:28:00.001-08:00

Nothing good came out of being honest
A truly peculiar and surreal philosophy
Spoken in a moment truly earnest
When questioned about this reality

Nothing good came out of telling lies
On the same day, same train of thought
We accept it without questions, yet it defies
The real stories of those who need your vote

Do you know the old hypocrite’s oath?
Claiming truth to be universal, blameless
Are you aware that we must have both
To truly understand our own noblesse

So, will you think on your own terms
Or accept without a doubt that word
Are you ready to let yourself learn
What everyone else has already heard

Nothing good came out of being honest
Nothing good came out of telling lies
Why question it? Can’t you let it rest?
In doing so, you might finally rise

Anthem Nation

2009-01-30T05:27:00.006-08:00

Listen to your anthem
Think of those before
Feel words so solemn
They sing forevermore

Speaking of freedom
Gained on battlefield
In spring, in autumn
A destiny revealed

An author like you
Sat and thought
What would we do
If no one had fought?

Would we be free, alive
Ready to face destiny
Or simply able to survive
Under another’s glory

The struggle of a nation
Plays in the hearts of the dead
Every time you cry with passion
Those words that can’t be left unsaid

Odd Friends

2009-01-30T05:27:00.005-08:00

I have as my better friends
The oddest of characters
For each I would die, defend
Against all sorts of wankers

To be part of such an elite
I can’t claim any sanity
We live to the same beat
Truly devoid of your reality

To be odd, just see differently
Ignore convention and dogma
Decide that the true beauty
Lies beyond this closed vista

I question everything they say
Aware they don’t mean any of it
It’s a circular illogic game we play
Endlessly made-up as we see fit

We are odd, but we’ll be friends
When you lay cold, alone and flat
For in our mind, there is no end
To this brotherhood under one hat

The Bed

2009-01-30T05:27:00.003-08:00

The bed is so comfy
It keeps on calling me
It’s all that I can see
I am so very sleepy

We mate, we dream
We cry, we scream
We go to extreme
In the bed supreme

We part with sorrow
So that we can grow
In the day’s dying glow
We return to what we know

We lie without pretense
Alive in a dream so dense
We are without defense
We loose in every sense

There is but one bed
As my ancestors said
In which you’ll play dead
In which you’ll be wed

Effacing our Street

2009-01-30T05:27:00.001-08:00

Effacing a street’s name
Is but killing our History
We will never be the same
When loosing our own story

Just like effacing one’s name
To destroy his soul, his goal
Even a Pharaoh is to blame
In this forever pointless control

Every day, officials play God
With a town’s unique memory
Written in tears, joy and blood
Listen to their ephemeral glory

Forgetting what it was named
We remember where it lead us
We will always be blamed
For losing many wise elders

The grass will grow again
Thoughts will come back
It can never be forgotten
We’ll walk again in its track

The Music we Say

2008-12-30T05:39:00.001-08:00

In the time an hour take
I heard the sound of life
The music we all make
Notes of love and strife

Some words, a melody
Noise of many thoughts
On the stone of eternity
Imprint what we’re taught

An hour without music
We’ll befriend even death
There is no other magic
Than the sound of our breath

Not all will appreciate
Such cacophony
In unison we vibrate
Makers of a sound reality

The music we say
Pray that it will last
It’s the price to pay
It will go so fast

The Brethren

2008-12-30T05:38:00.002-08:00

Thirteen we met first
Under Napoleon's beams
Scotland quenched our thirst
This wasn’t a dream

Lying around in disorder
Talking it all without logic
We were the creators
Of our world of magic

Each word we shouted
Fell on rather deaf hears
For each other we courted
And rally all to our fears

Nothing secret nor worthy
Came out of our souls
For we were quite unruly
In establishing our goals

The brethren is a society
Of fouls, not of strangers
We carry on our destinies
Until we’re all victors

We are Raindrops

2008-12-30T05:38:00.001-08:00

We are raindrops
Of the same cloud
Screaming all the way
Joining our essence

We’re born in conflict
Strong and fulfilled
Broken into pieces
Falling together

As we fall, we live
Separate but together
Time, speed, increasing
Hitting our destination

Once there, our soul
Goes back to origin
Lighter, brighter, simpler
Alive, purest sense

We will come again
Different but the same
Raining as we must
Alive and well meaning

The Seer

2008-12-30T05:37:00.006-08:00

A seer sees what’s not yet
Predicting what to avoid
Showing a life at the onset
Allowing us to fulfill the void

We remember the past
Molding it to our desires
Yet the future’s so vast
We forget as it expires

What special skills
Must I learn to see
A mission to fulfill
The end of a journey

I am no seer, for sure
Yet I often foresee
Everything I endure
In pain, in glory

What if the seer told
About the life to be had
Ah, to be so bold
Ah, to be so bad

Solomon's Mission

2008-12-30T05:37:00.005-08:00

Solomon's mission
Shows the way
Carried by masons
One stone a day

Leading mankind
Into its own body
The flame entwined
Let the spirit see

In degrees three
The light opens
A mind to study
A road to eleven

Start with a question
Surrender the answer
There is no real reason
In becoming better

Solomon's mission
Knows the way
Carried in passion
One stone a day
