innervisions

if you only knew

Here i am all alone thinking about your presence

And all the late night talks on the telephone

Intimate moments, conversation

I have put myself in a sad situation

But i've come to this conclusion

After countless hours of thoughtful deliberation

I am hopelessly in love with you

It makes no sense to attempt further evasion

of that simple truth

If you only knew

When i look to the beginning

I felt a supernatural influence

suddenly

suspending my mind

Instantaneously capturing my full attention

wiping out even the least desire

To try to attempt a foolish lines

in speaking to you

Not to mention

I was touched by a calming spirit

Before, being almost overcome

by an almost overwhelming sense of

Telepathy

i saw her in the crowd

where (our) words were not allowed

strictly forbidden by the priests

...enforced by the authorities

 converging softly as in a whisper

 i sensed her aura warmly glowing

as i drew nearer

(and so i kissed her)

+ it must have been telepathy*

 sensing growing warmth

within our hearts and minds

our hearts began to merge,

our worlds to intertwine

taken by surprise

such fiery passions grew

before we'd ever realized

the spirit carried through

+ it must have been telepathy*

and so a bond was formed

although our separate paths

seemed seldom to allow

but few brief interludes

(still the spirit grows)

to a voyager, a dreamer

a wayfarer, too long alone

in flight along a quiet st...

Ancient Wellsprings

At some dig site
… far away

Obscure dry riverbeds…
Offer their bounty
To archeologists of today
As they dedicate their lives
To recreate the patterns of living
Which have so far, allowed our species to survive
Despite, if not due to our latent inconsistency
…strive to reconstruct the days and nights
Of fellow members of our human family
To try and gather among what little remains
Some glimmer of insight
Of long lost ancient ways
Seen in a different time of light…
Sifting through the grains
…of sands that have seen
So many dreams
Places to rest,
Became dwellings…
Evolved into places
Of greater permanence
Into the current state of circumstances
As our present day suggests
What could have been…
Once
A river valley
A forest, ...

innervisions

how often
i marvel

Wise and refined
at your ability

...like ancient wine
to move me

of spiritual presence
beyond words

simple, bold, sublime
with gestures

subtle, lightly dark
which elevate

ethereal, bittersweet
insightful

auras

in motion,
journeys

rising, falling
in my mind

rolling ...like waves
resting lightly

upon the beach
folding reality

like your poerty,
back in upon itself

as wonderful
uplifting

as it is heartfelt,
refreshingly,

unique...
