So Much Persistence

you need to live

life is not a bed

of roses

someone

told me once

and now I know

it is a bed of thorns

and you are nothing

more than an animal

or a ghost

you simply do not matter

and then nothing makes sense

you find

when the puzzle slowly solves

itself in your mind

and you look at death

in the face

and laugh in transcending

ecstasy

filling up this universe.

Another World

I hold in my hands

broken and at war

and poor

and tears flow down

my face

I don’t want

such a life

full of agony and strife

my stomach churns

and the Earth and the sky

look so stupid

I have had enough

I want to go.

I Wipe My Face

with these trees

in the forest

and it is so cool

my eyes are mountains

my body the sky

and all these birds

singing are within me

making me so ecstatic

I dance and the cosmos

sways with me

like a lover

and so entwined

we transcend

ourselves

with a kiss

and what can

I tell you

it is such bliss.

Absence Holds My Hand

and as I walk

I find the day

is missing

I am in this

strange space

where there

is nothing

still I breathe

and slowly

I realise

my body

is disappearing

and then

my face.

My Face Is Crawling

with words

so many of them

I can’t open my eyes

I keep my mouth shut

and hold my breath

but in my ears

there is shouting

all garbled and wild

and mixed up

like madness

and now

I see people

in my mind

but they soon

turn into rats

and there are

so many

of them

they suddenly

explode

into blood

and my head

splits open

and I am gone

from this world.

Peace Lights The Moon

at night

and it is so beautiful

I feel waves of pleasure

flow in my body

and my mind

is lit up with

so many stars

I awaken to

the universe

breathing

so calmly

and I caress

its face.

This Place Is So Sweet

I can hear the birds saying

to the sunlight

glowing golden

the air flows so smoothly

we breathe bliss

and all the human voices

say love

the houses are full of joy

they are happy to live

a door that closes

says hello

and the world is smiling

and we kiss its face.

Now The World Cuddles Me

bringing its face

close to mine

and kissing me

and I can feel

its breath

so sweet

and I am

embraced

by its warmth

its beating heart

becomes mine

and I put my arms

around it

and kiss it back

with love.

This Is So Much Fun

making love to the world

how the sky sings

and the wind kisses me

and I feel my body tingling

and I say life I love you

and the mountains

laugh in gladness

and as I feel

one with the universe

I shudder in ecstasy

and the cosmos

shakes too

and everything

glows bright

and when

I touch my face

I find it has

become the moon.

Life Is Pricking Me

all over my face

and body

and I find

the pain

unbearable

and I bleed

and cry

screaming

at the sky

and now the sky

starts bleeding

and soon floods

the Earth

drowning

all of us in it.
