Waves (poem)

Poetry

Waves of depression break,

At the shores of my conscious awareness.

Oceanic mysteries drift,

Carried along by currents.


Flooding a desert reveals,

Sentiment’s intrinsic value.

Formerly disciplined by absence,

Returned to feel its presence.


Acute pain with decay,

Left to rot and fester.

Breathe in and choke on sunshine,

Learn to radiate like the stars.


Push it out and pull it in,

Cosmic light pulsing brightly.

Darkness swallowing the universe,

Become a beacon riding the waves.

Beyond (poem)

Poetry

Existential dread
Tighten and paralyze
Compulsive soothing
Fear of unknown

Embrace darkness
Lean into terror
Mere mosquito bites
Perspective rendering

Many realities
One death
Ego dissolution
Loss and gain

Flow forward
Pack up this life
Leave the extra
Drop the pain

Choose wisely
Only love
Can be carried off
Into the afterlife

Buddha (poem)

Poetry

Eyes cast downward,
Cool observation from above.
Narcissistic delusions,
Dimensional ripples of pain.

Extend out compassion,
Flailing helpless creatures.
Drowning in sorrow,
Oceanic floods.

Emotional intolerance,
Dysfunctional regulation.
Pictures glued to sockets,
Ripped sticker residue remains.

Occupy the mind,
Present in the body.
Astral planes explored,
Cultivating stillness.
