in the mist

you are in the mist, a grey mist
a beautiful coverlet to the eyes of dawn
you’re standing there, in the mist
all the eyelids fall from lunar spark and come to drape on
my beige undoing of graceful bassoon echoes


in this darkened window frame, I look out
and the beat of life pumps on in the veins of foliage friends


in the mist, all cities are alive in muffled sounds and reaching sighs
why give up so soon?
why give up.. at all?*

in the mist, we see what we can.. until it clears.

Find Yourself
 Jan 2014 islam

When you are lost within yourself
Open your mind and dust a shelf
Study your thoughts and be surprised to find
The beauty in the garden of your mind

Breathe in the fresh air around the trees
Intake what is real and set yourself free
Curl your toes into the sun heated sand
If seeing is believing, then feeling is grand

Allow your eyes to see clear and keen
An open mind sees beyond what is seen
To think that you are alone in your mind
Is to face one way, with the whole world behind

A flame waves fiercely when the wind blows
Yet when the wind comes, the flame never knows
A worthy friend is made in unexpected fashion
Ignite a relationship fill it with passion

Feel the sun's rays and warm embrace
Keep what matters most through all that you face
When you are feeling darkness's wrath
A flicker of hope will light your path

need to meditate
to contemplate emptiness
more empty than mine
...alternate take...


Think Nothing of It

need to meditate
to contemplate nothingness
more nothing than mine
Unbelievable:
the weight of these itches and stings,
glitter in my veins.

Unbelievable
empty stare, I am not fair
game for the fox hunt;

Unbelievable,
the lying world they sold me,
what they made me give.

Unbelievable:
I can feel the pulse beating,
hear the lies in speech.

Unbelievable
mind's eye watching beyond time
unhooks the triggers.

Unbelievable.
Power I have over them,
bend until they break.

Unbelievable -
I can hear them thinking now,
smell their stinking fear.

Unbelievable
that their endeavors fell flat,
that I am now free.

Unbelievable:
they have nothing that I want.
All belongs to me.
