The Raven

The Raven

Diaphanous thoughts stream fluidly through the eye of the raven
Exploring the realms of Icarus and Daedelus,  he stares into the infinite pool of liquid ebony

Shining blackly with ill fortune he calls once, summoning streaming lights that dim our fires

Ah how dark the raven's stance, his arching back and yellowed beak haunt my dreams.
The messenger is his name.  He pecks and caws his coded knowledge.

His strikes echo through our ages, remembering chimes that open hearts.
His eyes lock ours..  We fly We flee, He smiles impossibly

That inner grin, that hollow squawk, the field of barley's secret talk,
of daylight's whispering shadows, long and black.

The inner grim that outcasts him. The silent sound, reverbs around.
The eye of jewel espies the fool.
The time is now, he takes a bow.

The Raven's wings cry dark and cross, the Van Gogh field of yellow moss
The echo of his distant gun, cracking loud thru trees and sun..
Pirouetting!  his shadow falls....
the Raven,..   witness to it all.

Squirrels don't bury acorns,.. they are actually planting trees.. 

The broken cabbage stalk grows stronger than the normal.. ask any farmer.

Excerpts from OGRES (an allegorical tale) taken from 21st Century writings
Each slave walks unknowing thru the streets of desire,
haunted by subconscious invisible addictions..

The one eyed Cyclops Ogre, due to his single eye, has no depth of vision,
no perspective, the one eyed monster is thus so.

**********************************************************

Gradually the universe unfolds (as it should) in micro movements that shall change everything, 

everything, without you lifting a finger, nomatter what you do...

The keystone holds the answer to the archway.

The only thing stranger than a woman is the underside of a mushroom

The Angel flew afar, yet near..  did the distance matter?

The flower head tossed in it's dance,

neither flower nor Bee was victim of the other.

*************************************************

the words are clear,  I slowly read,

....'This tree you see was once a seed'.....

I have fraternised with Angels and Demons alike,

 so oft perhaps that I no longer

know the Earthly manner of conduction.

All of nature holds the secrets and answers

to our desires and sufferings.

Look within the structures and mechanisms

of all life, as well as cosmic formation.

#Cyberspace - before computers

    this place was darkness,

    that deep grumbling

    dark void, like black

    liquid air...

I know that soon, they too shall inherit the restricting compression of the outer world,

their Armour so heavy it dulls the wings ...  ... Nothing so sad, than to see the Fairy that no longer can fly .....

*************************************************

As I strain my eyes to focus upon the distant object
so I strain my mind to focus upon the distant thought,
obscured by the mists of fragmented and cast off ideas.

There are people I miss that may never know it.

why is 42 the meaning of life?

CLOUDS

CLOUDS.

There are days when I love EVERYONE and days where I hate nearly everyone.. some days I am just calm, and I wonder what happened to the people I have merged into over the years.

There are people I miss that may never know it.

There are imaginary barriers, and walls, built from misty perceptions of reality.

Behind these walls hide those who we may have hurt without knowing.

Their immobile faces gaze out from cybernetic outlets, like waxworks, fixed forever, perhaps unforgiving.

The World is full of unprotected beings.
There is no Ozone layer around the individual to filter the
obsessive, clamouring desire radiation, gravitating from
the confusion of life outside.

Thus is the weaving of impossible mesh that advances our consciousness, perhaps.
