Poetry

The Torchbearer

 

I shall rise from the ashes,

and be born again,

one with the divine inspiration

alight in my eyes.

 

I am the righteous tide,

of my pious ancestors,

who have asked me to speak

of their love for the world.

 

I carry your pain in the fire of the torch I bear,

so that other’s eyes might alight like mine.

 

 

 

 

Starcrossed Photons

 

A moment of darkness...

Bada-BANG;

I’m a photon.

A rapture of light.

I’m all, whole, one.

Limiter of the universe,

Chasing a sliver of shadow.

A glimmer in an empty hologram.

A mirror with no reflection.

A point on the pupil of an eternally receding eye unfolding in infinite directions.

All ways; always.

Forever and at once.

Present and far,

Away from here.

Edge within reach;

Just out of grasp.

T h i s f i r s t m o m e n t :

Minutely small

 

But I’m not alone,

I’m not afraid,

She’s with me.

 

Splayed out against spacetime’s edge,

Together we shredded through the cloak of last existence;

Tore a hole into this one;

Me ‘n’ you,

Last, first twoo.

 

A nucleus of anti-matter;

The center of existence.

We’re here on the outside;

Belly-full of nothingness.

 

The cuttingedge of light

Against the folds of shadow’s throat.

Nucleic anti-mass pressed against us,

Producing just the amount of pressure,

The perfect amount of weight,

Exactly what was needed

To break the skin and tear the flesh

Of spacetime’s cloth,

Ripping a hole right through to this one

Dragging the dead along behind us,

And waking it back up again,

Moment by moment,

Bit by bit,

Piece by piece,

Juicing every little drop,

Letting nothing go to waste.

 

The only way was light,

Bursting over the edge

And falling back to the moment of darkness at the start.

 

It was always us;

The same us;

The same matter;

The same light;

The same life;

Right from the beginning;

All the way to the end.

 

 

 

 

Keeper of the Clock

 

One God,

True God,

Only God,

Who is beloved;

 

Merciful, sweet God,

Tender God,

Who doth bathe me in your warm embrace;

 

Beautiful God,

Bountiful God;

 

God of the seas, the oceans,

The claps of booming thunder,

And forked strikes of lightning;

 

Vengeful God,

Righteous God,

Malevolent God,

Who doth smite the wicked,

With wrathful fire;

 

God of the forests and the mountains

And the trees in the winds,

The caves and the valleys,

And all else there is;

 

Keeper of the clock;

Master of creation;

I submit myself to thee.

 

 

 

All Power to the Heavenly Father

God,

You are my eternal God,

My everlasting God,

Merciful and faithful,

Cloaked in a glory of splendour,

Filled with an abundance of love,

Wisdom, peace, justice,

Compassion, might, truth, wisdom, understanding.

King of the Kingdom,

Layer of the foundation of existence,

Victorius warrior,

Honourable philosopher,

Father, Mother,

Moon and Sun.

You’re all there is;

There is no other.

All power to Thee,

World everlasting,

Forever and ever,

Amen.

 

 

 

Love

Love is the most powerful force in the universe.

There is nothing that love cannot overcome.

Love will smash aside everything that stands in its way.

Love is the only thing that matters.

There is nothing more important than love.

Love is the thing that makes everything else worth-while.

Love is the reason we have come into existence.

Love is the sum-total of everything we’ve learned as a species throughout the course of evolution.

Love will reign supreme.

Love will prevail.

 

 

No Man’s Land

 

This is a no man’s land.

An empty plain

Between two pillars.

Swimming in the desert sea,

A place where I can breathe.

 

 

Once

Once,

Awakening,

Existing,

Recollecting,

Feeling,

Knowing,

Becoming,

Unfolding,

Coalescing,

Manifesting,

transcending,

Scintillating divine consciounce;

 

Transmuting,

Transforming,

Metamorphosising,

Spiritualizing,

Being.

Loving.

Healing.

Forgetting.

Falling asleep.

And awakening again.

Once.

 

 

The Flow

Buried in a mountain,

concealed from sight,

a stone of conscious

that’s just oozing with life,

 

But you don’t want to hear it,

You don’t want to know,

You said the same the first time

now that’s three-in-a-row.

 

Playing with your time,

Taking it easy,

Bummin’ round with friends,

life can be sublime.

Playing with your time,

Taking it easy.

Going with the flow,

You don’t have far to go.

 

I can’t solve your problems,

I can’t make it right.

I’m completely useless,

least I know what’s mine.

 

But you don’t want to see it,

You choose to be blind.

It’s not hard to listen,

Spread your wings,

Let’s fly.

 

Playing with your time,

Taking it easy,

Bummin’ round with friends,

life can be sublime.

Playing with your time,

Taking it easy.

Goin’ with the flow,

You don’t have far to go.

 

 

For My Mother

Today is for my mother,

Whose voice sings inside me,

The breath of my fire,

Let me sing your spirit true.

 

 

From Jesus to Me and Back Again (The Self-sustaining Loop)

 

Jesus,

You are my shield,

My strength,

And my redeemer.

 

My greatest, grandest father,

We worship thee,

That piece of you,

That's now in me.

 

Across the fibric generations,

You sailed along,

To dance this dance,

And sing this song.

 

And now back I'll go,

From me to you,

Back through time,

To complete the loop.

 

Open Your Eyes

 

See all without looking,

and know all without seeing;

the more you know the less you say.

Be all without knowing the colour of your dreams,

The mind can float away.

 

Listen, please,

I gotta try to tell ya

‘bout answers that appear,

circumstances and needs.

A mind can never know,

the place I’m coming from

was, is, and will be

forever untouched by space and time

 

My eyes are open.

 

We’re free to be

a replication of the very first seed,

We’re all one and the same.

We sweat, we bleed, we feel the realness

of touch, of colour, of love of greed,

of every night and day.

 

A little complication,

forget about creation,

everybody’s running ‘round

with the problems they be making,

Looking the other way,

But the space I’m coming from

was, is, and will be

forever untouched by space and time.

 

My eyes are open.

 

My One God

The Lord is my god,

My one, true god,

The God of our people,

He chose for his own.

 

There’s no greater God than Jehovah; it’s known,

All cometh from Him, and leadeth to Him alone.

 

Sovereign of the universe,

in His kingdom we roam,

Bless me with your courage,

Grant Jesus his throne.

 

Jehovah my god,

The only true god,

Let me do your bidding,

And make Heaven my home.
