It's alright to say no,
as no is
an option
in reality
just as yes

find a flow
some rhythm
of intuition
listen to your guide
she'll lead you
home

grasp this flow
of speaking no
see where it leads,
perhaps somewhere
different
than
yes

magic, this sacred magic
gives life meaning
a combustion

find this truth

remember this calling

Identity of Mind
IrieSide Jan 2023
Fell through a
thousand suns
into an abyss
of grinding
darkness

suppressed and forced
to stand up,
or die

what is this place?
a genesis,
a sprouting
up of
creation

claiming my own power,
my own will,
my own essence
of humming
core
energy

rooted in freedom,
the soul is,
as delicate as a dove
and cannot be
contended with

listen to her,
listen to her,
listen to her

What am I Seeking?
IrieSide Jan 2023
The knowledge,
it points to a destination,
what is it that
I am trying to uncover

a common thread,
some hidden meaning
some piece of
truly sacred
knowledge

a blind hope,
and heroic
determination
that is,
unto death
for this
secret
hidden
truth

a pure vibration,
some holy utterance
of deeper truth

for meaning,
for weight,
for actuality
a duality
between
vibration
and
matter

It's there, right here

Respect for Poetry
IrieSide Dec 2022
Upon the outer rims
of human communication
away from the mundane,
the easily accessible

minds that feel and think,
souls that reveal

adventurers of spirit,
they who venture far
with absolute vulnerability
and exposure

It's in bliss,
in deeper meaning
a lonely place
far out in the ocean

though like Columbus,
the poet brings it back

the farther she goes,
the more obscure
the meaning

there's no material reward
in this seeking
so why must they go?

revealing a thing,
beyond human communication
a deeper calling
and higher honor,
not honor amongst men
but of creation

accessing places,
and sharing them with others
through our only medium
that is poetry

Poetry, It's in the Title
IrieSide Dec 2022
Poetry,
I say Poetry,
It's my life story

Nothing contrived or made up
it's in the graceful
and everlasting
passage of time

present complexes
of a thousand suns
we gazed across the ocean
and met with intensity

find purpose in meaning
and truth in eternity

found my way, oh
this sacred path
of dripping words

for you, I write
and for all
They can't find me here.

Meaning
IrieSide Dec 2022
Fell into a dream,
spinning in clouded
tunnels
into a realm
of questions

What is the purpose
of all that we see?

She said it's in duality,
in extremes,
the borders of
all that is known

the answer is both
good and evil,
hot and cold,
everything and nothing
at the same time

how could it be?

we took a step into the unknown,
existence itself
is evidence of a miracle

find your way, in time,
your temporary journey
will become permanent
and your limited span
will become unlimited

your uncertainty will be certain
and history will become present
reflections.

Guard your Heart
IrieSide Dec 2022
Find rythm,
a delicate balance
of exposure and
hiding

sacred utterances
of the heart's magnificent
whispers

listen to it,
for she is sure
of her paths

energy screams
and awakens
a sudden
remembering
of what
your  mission
is

Channel this,
focus it
and obliterate
the devil

rise into life,
the living water
you didn't know
you missed

Remain balanced,
secure as a redwood
in an ocean
of movement

inhale his warmth
and energy,
the sun
your sacred guide
into the infinite

adamant, persistent,

to become whole
is the mission

You can't be so paranoid
as to check every action
with scripture
live in trust,
and grow in hope

Become who it is,
you know you are
and reject any
opposition

grow as a tree
into whichever one
it may be

Jacob
IrieSide Nov 2022
A logical takedown
presented and countered
a mystical gest
and strategic retreat

I squared up with God,
and he was the same

Donned the artillery,
and organized forces
armed as Khan
with the world's finest

I squared up with God,
and he was the same

Targeted his pawns,
the weaker ones
and sniped them
though they grew stronger

I squared up with God,
and he was the same

Disintegrated logic
evaporated power
and fury
replaced by humbleness

I squared up with God,
and he was the same

A breath of defeat,
and a simple recognition
of who it is I'd been wrestling

I squared up with God,
and he was the same

For in 30,
is not seeking,
rather the time
to put into play
all that was
collected

time drips by
effectively,
though in each stage
a new offering

a new time to become,
a new stage of growth
a new character

step into bliss,
in eternal wander
found here this
new reality
of endearing
opposites

Where's the Music?
IrieSide Nov 2022
A ghost became a sheet
empty in soul
carried away
by the calm breeze  

Corrupted by righteousness
dying to life
and living for transition

God in your pocket,
a small egg when paid attention
a great boulder when ignored

Permission to stand with the greats
evaporated with heat
a garden desert
with blossoms once filled
now made empty
as it was

silent awakening
into a seed
of conscious energy

emerge from ocean depths
of deep blue
churning energy
into redwood stature

unite with light and the frequency  
that shatters,

flow freely though life
cancel your subscription
to collective thoughts,
free yourself
from poisonous energy
and seek life
pure, energy, channeling, growth, warmth, freedom, power, limitless, rising, soaring.
