not thinking
of what to say
drinking wine

music so intense
no pretence
the sadness
lingering

i want to escape

from this cage of illusion

of expanding bars

 

thinking where to go

only makes it more spacious

there’s nowhere to run

 

so what do you do

when you find yourself longing

to go far away

 

take a whiff of sandalwood

and bless your skin

with the bliss of bombay

 

 

Dancing  slowly with you…

my dark darling death…

only heartache in this realm of desire…

yet we always return…

to the womb..

attracted by the scent of lust…..

when all desire is gone…

there will be no more suffering….

 

 

My naked body stretches

the coolness of space

that is endless

Seasons changing… spins my head

all these years living….like I’m dead

leaves falling like hair

my body cold

Snow…. like ashes…

forgetting… old

until remembered

again and again…

Channel #5 ,  Joy & Oud….

when we get to the bardo

there will be food !

 

 

sweet child of light

living in this dark dark world

how you have survived ….

blood like molten lava

heart made from the

nectar of flowers…..

some day you will shine

in the black silent sky

 

drinking tea from a bowl…

i sit here amazed….

wind blowing through the pine trees….

a screen door separating

the natural world from me…..

(i didn’t want to let the bugs in)

but i feel like a bug myself…

in this house of dust….

while the dirt outside

is clean and fresh….

(except for the  tailpipes exhaust)

a juxtaposition

of my exhausting life….
