Tears of Time
IrieSide Apr 2024
Time we consider
suffering,
thus we speed
it up

consider this,
a tale from the time
when time is fast,
our attention
ceases

they admit defeat,
how they've lost control
of something so
easy,

slow down time, and
remain present,
let minutes tick by
as eternities
in a black
vacuum

fall within,
and deeper
into a still place
where all that matters
is the awareness

Tell the Truth
IrieSide Mar 2024
Left with what's left,
a present realness
that doesn't
require
belief

The music came alive,
and the angels sang
welcome back,
you've been gone
all along

find this place,
some place
of comfort,
dear friend,
life is hard
and you can
find a light

blessed chosen,
you are,
one that will
awaken,
in this
endless
bliss

unravel your mind,
untie its tangles
relax,
and let go

rise into truth,
as truth is
something
painful to share
for it hits home
in the collective
a cracking of the
twilight,
a simple remembrance

time trickles by as an endless
song,
open your eyes,
your ears,
voice
and your heart,
awaken safety,
and the Kundalini
strengthen your roots,
and plant firmly

struggle to find
balance,
between the dark
your dark
and light

rocket and fly by,
all those in misery
those who've forgotten
the Way

step into existence,
and share your wisdom
enliven who you can
and speak life

shine as  ten thousand suns,
and never forget you're loved
rise, and rise again
actualized,
the state you are in
stand firmly,
and stay alive

remember to love,
remember to live,
remember those there for you
even in the deepest of depths
continue forward,
and grow as a Redwood
in the mist
and the shadow

Afoot

The higher the heaven,
the deeper the hell

tuning in,
to those who listen

The grandest illusion,
is afoot

a mind ripped free,
from tentacles
of parasitic
creation

Choices
IrieSide Dec 2024
One side of two,
the fool takes look
on the ugly

an intricate mirage
of both galactic radiance
and deep blackness

who can stand
to summon the beautiful?
a warrior's path
to sharing life

though the one who confronts,
and climbs,
is the one who faces the densest darkness
and highest falls

perhaps the middle,
is what was always
best

Pearl
IrieSide Dec 2024
A seeker,
of infinite wonder
set out to
discover
the most incredible
treasure

those of immortal value
in all that they stand,
as time,
the greatest
conqueror
of all

gathered in a
sacred sack
these loving
gems she
stored

however her love
was the motive,
to capture
and share these
treasured gems
to save the others

though when she returned,
from atop the mountain,
no one recognized her
and no one,
would hear her treasure

a life dedicated,
and a life she gave
for pieces of information
that were stored
in the deepest of trenches,
but these she couldn't share,
for no one spoke the language,
the surface dwellers,
could not comprehend the depths

so she withdrew,
into an icy cave,
where she did find some warmth,
in weaving together these treasures
into a shining quilt
made of verse

frozen in time,
the word can be
keep on writing,
and don't be afraid,
to give it
your
life

because they will outlast you.
down by the river.

Missing
IrieSide Oct 2024
follow in the footsteps
of all those remembered,
and see who had
the most
satisfying
life

was it sensual pleasure,
or boundless abundance
that gave the greatest
gifts

forgotten by many,
the answer withdrew

bring it back to the forefront
of the collective
unconscious

a dream arrived
to give the clearest
answer
for a question
barely even there

you feel something is missing?
well it's loneliness, my dear
your investments did not generate
or maintain,
your most important
connections

now you fade away,
into this solitary aura
where you're ripped apart
by an expanding
universe

The dream says, yes!
you must find hope,
in the hidden city,
there exists
a sacred connection,
though you must seek,
and seek hard

this connection still remains,
even for you,
one who ventured farthest
away from home

Ground
IrieSide Jan 2024
Fundamental
base-layer
of direct contact
with the
substance

fallen again,
upon this surface
where there is
no lower

a familiar friend,
the messenger
of pain
though his presence
is neutral

his only message is this,
"get back up, or stay here"

reflecting upon the past,
ah this ladder of heights
upon it,
your two legs
stood

so my friend,
will you stand and climb again,
or will you dwell here
amongst all the others?
Rise.

Drifting

There the highs are,
then come the lows
this great flow
of mystery
that nature
has granted

it's part of the game,
some ancient pattern
that only few
master

this is a glance
of the Way,
an essence
of poles,
where all
is one
yet
there exist
opposites

the center,
of everything
go there,
and find
balance

Echoes
IrieSide Jan 10
The forgotten
winds of freedom,
they whisper as we
venture away

a gentle guide,
of forceful
silence

Intuition she whispers,
as we lose sight
of what truly
matters

a lie of the matrix,
is to volunteer your soul
for cheap survival
take this plot and
twist it,
break free
and rise higher
than the highest
cliff

fear not, those who control,
and take this code,
a fellow traveler,
a surfer of timelines

to stay alive is the game,
to stay alive is the goal,
to stay alive is life,

keep your energy attuned,
and let not
wicked forces
capture your essence

Remember
IrieSide May 6
be set free,
the ancient angel said
as she granted wisdom

presence in the mystery,
and perfect peace
in seeking

this too shall pass,
as all things
other from
the observer

take this glint,
a flicker of magic
and understanding

the wicked too shall pass,
just as the righteous
follow this guide
and uncover
the depths
of all
...

a slight touch,
a sudden flutter  
and energy
moving
upward

awakening,
to the new kingdom
where temporary
is permanent
and death
becomes life

fallen into a grave,
and revived
as a burning
sun

The riducule of a sound mind
burned bright
in the atmosphere
those of seeking
something higher,
beyond the mundane,
they dream of higher heights
and more sacred
runs

find creation
in the eavesdrop
and all shadows
cease

a spellbound
narrative,
in an ocean
of plenty

let us rise and live,
a person not
hypnotized
by the
clock

Solstice
IrieSide Dec 2024
Eternal familiarity
a delicate remembrance
of a simple combustion

a thousand suns,
and 9 thousand more
an ember grew
into our
story

through the depths
of emerald jungles,
to the heights
of quartz mountains

I wouldn't trade it for the galaxy,
my greatest friend,
and eternal charge,
a bound essence
more sacred
than
all the world.

Revitalize
IrieSide Apr 3
Condensed
as the peak of pressure
in the depths
of the deep blue
ocean

some death,
some wearing away of
some force of
equal power

it condenses,
and also blesses,
as each of those
are opposite ends
of the same pole

take this ride,
upon the mind
and see it,
for what it is

forget not in times of chaos,
when all external
seems to evaporate
find peace here
when you're being
tried

for as in sometimes,
the greatest blessings
come from the depths,
and are bestowed upon
those who visit them

the manifesting warrior
of infinite prayer
the one who holds an image
of purity,
when all that surrounds,
is taken away

Dedicate
IrieSide May 22
Fallen through a galaxy
of invisible thought,
the magic man declared
that life
is a dream

To intend was to create,
and all energy
was light

a lie revealed,
as a consistent
effort
from the side
of a
devil

cast illusion upon
the children,
of the infinite one
so they forget
who they are

rise, and rise again,
says the sun  
and stay present,
when your light fades,
says the moon

awaken your essence,
and capture your calling
find solace in balance
create,
as you would

let not the small-minded,
influence your growth

founded joy,
a simple elation
that brief moment
of illusive
contentment

this bliss, ah
when found
it wants to be shared

though isolation
breeds its
echo chamber

the alchemist
was the only hope,
a transformation
of energies

vibrations forged
into a new medium,
that is poetry

Pinpoint

Often it becomes,
as a gently developing
pedal,
of an orange
poppy

changes as they come,
and the chorus was,
that the highest point
of uncertainty
became the clearest
of all

take this hint,
a wholesome reminder
to persist,
even in the darkest
cave,
as even the flicker
of light
becomes
the highest
bliss

The Top
Get to the top,
it's a more interesting life,
improve,
discern and
gather wisdom

fear not the enemy,
the one who casts fear
her entity
is nothing
but fleeting
emptiness

God loves the step,
the trust fall
into the unknown
fall,
into the blackness
and surrender.
place your life
in his
hands
and Trust

the farther you walk,
into the blackness
of fear,
the more you will be met
by the angels

Rise,
and rise again
my invisible friend
the holy resonance
of that long lost
unity
Just a note from a poet.
