I am becoming Never here Nor there It feels like something But it never arrives And truly, I never depart I just am But what? A surmounting of memories Convoluted A magnificent convergence A kaleidoscopic collision The white light In an explosion of possibilities That surmount To me So I appear My presence so brief A irrelevant pinprick Causal no doubt (But causal in that nothing truly surmounts to anything at all) I simply function as evidence The product of collective histories I exist in a constant evolution But ah - Words fail me Their definitions cannot elucidate True essence Only artificial flavours The crux remains untapped An illusory truth Is there true essence of anything at all? How do we ever claim to 'know'? This subjective divide Cannot be bridged Be it science or philosophy We are warped by sensation We do not know reality Nor will we ever Reality So fluid a concept This is all All nothing but your perception Merely reflection Stuffed and crammed into language That simply cannot bear the weight Of this expansive experience Of life Against my eyes Every moment laps Absorbed; in an unavoidable distortion What truth remains? I know nothing of the world Only myself But who am I? But just because I think, Does that mean that I am? That you are? This could all be a mirage No more If you told me I wasn't; I'd believe you. So sit with me awhile And see I wish you could see what I see That I could delve into that mind Peer out from your eyes The view is beautiful, no doubt Maybe your orange is my blue And you see a citrus sky No matter - This life is surely what you make it to be From here to there We are all Forever becoming

Catapult me into the wind
Catapult me into the wind And let me tumble through life With blissful freedom To a destination unknown. Onwards - Delve into the abyss of existence Its necessary uncomfortability. Oh I FEEL it. There is e v e r y t h i n g to be discovered Soothe my restless soul with experiences Nourish my wandering heart with kind-eyed strangers A long haul flight To anywhere Let me dive through iridescent tropical waters Tire my eyes searching for stories in the streets passing by Speeding taxi rides through bustling Asian streets Neon lights and smoking woks Natures revival of moss covered temples Witnessing the remnants of antiquity Ancient Greek mosaics in tavernas Where bubbling clay pots would waft Down tight and bustling streets A seat Where lovers once met I linger in their embrace My heart How deeply she aches But I remain Open I feel love everywhere Let me run my hands Across colonnades of architectural prowess I imagine the sages Mourn philosophies and conversations lost to time I am enamoured with humanity So I go - I want to climb mountains Breathe in the air of the Himalayas Intoxicate myself in newness Lose myself in a new city Be whisked in drunken revelry To places where the lights shine differently Where my body can move Freely My body A vessel for passion For love I vibrate curiosity I release my inner child To play To see To feel Discover (me)
Introspectiva
However you come
Strip yourself bare
Let me see you
No -
Through
Beyond you
That unseen place
It feels just like me
I can't lead you
I'm still trying to make sense of mine
But see here
Space for your chaos
In this darkness I dance
There is no sense to be made
Twisted life
Here
Here I have nothing to hide
No longer do I pry from this cage to be seen
I just AM
So
Boil my body
And strip the flesh from my bones
Tender
I felt this coming
Words I wrote long ago
A familiar feeling
"A slippery slope"
So I release
Abandon
Call me reckless
But oh you misunderstand me
Who's me?
I am FREE
Turn myself inside out
I make you uncomfortable
I know
Your soul squirms beneath you
It murmurs
But you stifle it
Down
But soon you'll see
See me
I am just
Like
You
•seek and you shall find•
I am begged Surely by no uncertain stroke of fate To be here Soaking in the time And the creatures of the universe The language of the Earth Has manifested itself Edging nearer Or maybe my eyes have grown clear Attune to her beckoning She weaves her vines Into the forefront of my mind Sprinkling life As if magic dust Before my eyes Butterflies twirl Illuminated by the sun Colouring my dreams They land in my palm And paralyse me Demanding my attention Change is in my hands A beacon of transformation Their wings sweep past my ears As if the universe itself is tapping me on the shoulder And whispering; Forget not the awe in your heart The passion in your veins For to forget Is to abandon yourself Your dreams lead you to this place And all I am here to do Is confirm it Trust in me Seek my symbols The precious life that I unveil to you The black cockatoos that appear Their calls casting back through time As if the very breath of humanity A trove of wisdom May echo through the ages It's failed attempts and heartbreaks It's glorious triumphs and most acclaimed Deliver their knowledge through you I dissolve To enter the ethereal To see The light certainly does shine Often in the periphery Of this busy life (A mirage maybe) It does not command But will avail itself once sought Attune yourself Seek and you shall find
bubbles
In nakedness I gleam A steaming hot glass Pulled from scolding water Suds glimmer Sunshines kiss Her firey rays Ignite me Bubbles for eyes Glimpsing the blip Of my brief time And their reflection Tells of our orb in the sky Absorption A transient womb Our colourful ball sustains us Earth To above The air sweet With our deepest affinity Our most magnificent dreams Tethering Temporary Fleeting End.
