I find the topics
upon which One chooses
to write and reflect
are, themselves, reflections
of the Mind
of the Mirror.
Sometimes,
all One can do for Another
is to allow them
to wallow in their own
chaotic and confused ways,
for, indeed,
some refuse to take heed
of mere words
of mere peers.

If they can't, or simply won't,
realize the futility
of the Fools' Path
they chose to travel,
then perhaps they deserve it;
perhaps you've only put yourself
in front of a firing squad,
in front of a trainwreck
of Personality.

They have the capacity for choice,
and so do you,
and so, if they fail to use it constructively,
it's likely up to you
to remove yourself
from such destructive environments,
lest ye become such a Fool.

Learn from your mistakes.
Even if they reject the notion of those of their own;
there is no shame in acknowledging an honest mistake:
perhaps one of the first
was to part with
some of your mortal Time and Energy
on their insipid behalf.

I can call it so by name
because I've made that very mistake
from both sides, yet,
I feel I'm wiser for it.
Perhaps a bit utilitarian, but I'm sick of trying to help others who claim to seek help, who proceed to simply abuse and manipulate the Energy and Time put forth by others for their benefit. Oh well.
Only I fall within my dominion.
Only within my dominion am I.
Fading, ever-consistent
slipping
As mute and inconspicuous
As a porcelain moths sigh
These oceans brim darkly with the unrelenting tides
But you see,
they are just a reflection, your pupils dilate at the sky
All through your emerald iris encased,
midnight
in your diamond speckled space eyes
Simply perspective,
one may say
For I peer through a different telescope today
In the littlest things I discover joy
With my mistakes I gain knowledge
In all pleasure, I learn to love myself
Through suffering, wisdom works its dull edge
Simply perspective,
one may say
Makes a worlds difference
In a galaxy of ways
Slender body coasting by the corner of my eye
in the darkness of this spacious room we both sit, *******
in chairs facing corners
on opposite sides of the compass.

But I still catch glimpses, I can still feel your energy
pulsing through the floorboards; breathing down my neck,
in every slight movement that makes this old estate creak.

Of all the monsters trapped inside my brain,
trust (& all the issues I've acquired with that)
makes me consider the games you play.
Do you, on all four paws- purr like a kitten in another felines palm?
Does she give you the sun & moon
like I'd so willing do?

maybe, I'm just a little too ****** up for you
a little too off the edge to handle
& a little too needing of some constant state of affection

it is me after all,
right?

But,
it's alright.
I understand,
let me fade away
like footprints in the sand.

Please love,

enjoy all your tomorrows
as I enjoy my todays,
forget my name
forget my face.
A World in which free Thought is demonized
is a World seized by Demons

A World in which free Worship is demonized
is a World bereft of Sanctity

A World in which division of the One is glorified
is a World hopelessly mislead

A World which glorifies demonetization
is a World within the dominion of Hell

A World with such abidance towards Evil
may as well, itself, be Evil
but, ultimately, what is Evil
but knowing misuse of potential?

Energy is all that is.
Matter is but crystalline Energy
(and people say Science isn't mystical)

God, Tao, Zen, Allah, YHWH,
Brahman, Zeus, Jupiter, Ammon,
Mars, Ares, Týr, Horus, Kali, Mixcoatl,
Aphrodite, Athena, Venus, Minerva,
Isis, Ceres, Demeter, Freyr;

whatever you want to call
the ineffable Energies
is just fine by me,
but I maintain
the only Evil
is the intent
to misuse
that Cosmic Energy,
whence all was given rise,
and thereto all shall return,
for, truly, it never left
that Divine state;
that supple,
ephemeral,
dreamlike
Being-ness.

Hello.
Welcome back to Now:

Carpe diem.
Seize the day.
Some may well say
that to take a generous swig
of craft beer or fine wine
is 'unrefined,'
yet, invariably, I do mantain
this experience is valuable
and lends itself
to a broader and more holistic experience.
