PartFour
The Sacrifice of Ties I sat in sheer fear of losing those bondsOf family repair and grace
And a pure love invented and brought by these people
And this monstrosity called truth lures me away and away and away
And i fear for my health
And i fear for my bliss
I dont want to shit my pants for realisations sake
But i know i must
A journey this far is like seeing the sun without feeling her heat
The encouraging stroke upon my face, touching like loved ones touch
Fear of the truth, how stupid is that?
I can vouch for nothing and if i cry i now know it means nothing
Suicide appeals like eating balls of shit
Papapapapapapa
Losing your ties
Losing your bonds
Sam in the loneliness of Cornwall where kerouacs wondrous waves crash the shores
Admiration of his battle strength seen in my eyes as great as winning a war
A war it is
Losing the ties
Needed or not?
Confused?
Justifying my poor actions?
The time is ticking and time leads to the present and I'm thinking
Yes!
Football in a few hours timeThe beauty of a life which had to come and go
My Life
Beautiful life, heavenly girlfriend, angelic faces of friendship
My spirits are ideal
I, not understandably, dwell in optimism
And know the sun the moon and the stars are watching in near bliss
Ah,
the mystical wizard of destiny may tap my left shoulder at any second.
Fri, 28 Jan 2000 19:49 * Sleeping With God Beats Flying With Hitler
Bedroom, between walls of illuminous catastrophes
In between minds full of haberdashery
Catastrophes dressed as laughable cats
Sticking extra long arms on my ears and legs in my moustache!
Feeling incomplete yet patient
Its some connection to this cute little devily shaped thing
That keeps popping through my window
Saying 'Come over here man, God is wrong'
And for fuck,
I sometimes believe him!Hah, the cheeky Impish little git!
A friend of mine,
I know, is his treasured acquaintanceThe top robot I am sure
As sure as sure is real
Her well timed arrival to the touch of my penis
Complimenting my effervescence in my time of need
And now her sudden abstinence from my arms!
The minx blowtorch babe!
Mixed up monster horse!
Makes me want to squeal monstrosities at pigs
and ministers and people who cant see clean beauty in love
's bellowing silenceBut peace sweeps my body home to truth
And I see love conquers pain and that pain only leads to pain
So here
I come bouncing like babiesDancing down the streets of coloured arms and smiling toys
Treated like a baby
People say one day I'll have to get a proper job
'Baby, you gotta live like a real robot'
I like monkeys more than robots
Only last night I left my girlfriend
's homeFluid and restful
Wandering mindfully
A child's kite, happy to walk any distance in the cooling dreamy state of my future
's palmWith thoughts as gentle as;
'What am
I doing in this life?'And
'What is love anyway?'
Backpack on, travelling home early hours of the morning
Red wine glowing like warm hands on full tummy
Talked about this love of women to the garage attendant
Recently befriended through drunkard excellence
Shopkeeper with such disobedience and anger
His tone tamed by angers absent lips
Bothered by his own existence
And the entirety of women
His life arranged by religions mist
We talked love and change
He believed no change
Maybe
I made him think?But
I had to leave, to where only last weekThe magpie crashed just metres from my eternal presence
And swung branch to branch
As if a rat had stolen some dead birds body
And, this week, not far from
, was a loveable dogWhom I followed for some steps
Stray and scruffy, no strangling securities
I shouted the dog politely, and its head turned straight to my face
ugh, what an intrusive face!
Face of space, face of fear, attack face, run face, disrespect face, old face, new face
Eternal face, blue eyes, brown eyes, purple eyes, eyes of India, eyes of Japan
Eyes of Majorca
Eyes of remembrance
Eyes of war
Eyes reminiscent of local childhood bullies and streets of wrinkled violence
Eyes forced into an uncomfortable glare making simple seconds pass like millenniums
And my very own eyes are his paws!
Phew!
Off he trotted like a horse into the luring hands of the dark parkThrough the iron gates and gradually darkness took him from my vision
Trotting down past, I imagine, the horseshoe-maker and the friendly cobbler
Then the fishmonger, who waves protectively over his doomed bright crabbies
Who wish the ways of the water, whether forgotten to them or not
'Because evolution says we should go home!' squeal the crabbles
Through their subconscious love buttons
And off trots the dog
Past the screaming crabs
In a dream or not
Perfectly forgotten by the crabs who move to pastures new and old
The horses trot, the dogs malice, and the thoughts of the crab
All float mysteriously
Smiling like Indians in warm wig-wams
Down to the comforting bed of the lord
Down to old Eddies knacker-yard

* Sun or Rain
There are two options at every instant
If you are good and true to yourself you will feel good
If you are bad and false to yourself then you will feel bad
I know it sounds simple but these two options strangle me
Sun or rain, every second, of every day
Now I must leave my page and you must lead your life
hope this helps
Yours Sincerely PowekFri, 28 Jan 2000 19:49 * Eye Of Touch, Eye Of Vision
My cells are separating
Emancipating from the slavery as Marley yodelled
Flying slightly
Under the serene influence of Ivan Morrison
Of a man
's sweet voiceOf another mans cells
Separating
Matter to matter
Dust to floating dust
Flickered by the tongue of wind and gently spread by the lips of love
Remember the simplistic experiments
Where mass condensed and passed through a life of its own
Released as evaporating angels
Under the touch of a simple Bunsen burners flame
Then re-incarnated as untouchable gases!
Such rational amazement!
This big re-incarnation bafflement
Lying there, as sweet as a true mistress
Too obvious for our unopened eyes
One tangible touch of heat
And cells stretching to where they wish !
Venturing honestly
Into the waves of the nagual
Fearless into the unfathomable
With no recollection of illegality
Or even lucidity
I want to comfort you
And you too want to comfort me
For we can listen to the air that whispers
And dive the waves of sanctuary that wash up on the sandy shores of the mind
to see the souls of separated structures
Vast and wide
Rapturous visions of life
lying closer to the eye than the eye itself!
The eye
With vision, ethereal
The eye
With will, gone
Fizzle
Floating through non-existence
Into Oneness and out of nothingness
Pretty little scrumptious nothingness
Releasing the noose of expectation
Before beheading the strain of explanation
Fri, 28 Jan 2000 19:49 * Music
Music cuts off my arms
Rips off my umbilical length
Tears apart my rib-cage
Grinds at my pelvis
Slices my forearms
Masturbates on my smooth, clean hair
Glues together my lips
Daggers my eyelids
Strokes my scratches
Scratches my sores
Cleaves off my fingers
Lacerates my intestines
Pressures my thumping heart
Until all thats left is heavenly perception
For
I perceiveWhilst time stops
And when I exist again
The clock exists again
My steps exist again
And walk meditatively
Toward the next apocalypse

* The Whisperers
I say God
You envisage beards flying through space
God - all
Just simply everything
Love is
God's sidekickA meat pie with a fly on it
Now aint that bad !!!!!
Ah Man, Its just gods fingernail
God, love, truth, simplicity
Such sincerity
I pray mercy for you feather dusters
Tickling and tickling away
Whispering 'fingernails .
We must find more fingernails'
Fri, 28 Jan 2000 19:49 * Dinner PartyI feel strongly about nothing at this instant
I am neither weak nor pitiful
I am even
I am a circus tightrope walker
I am a crow on an unused telephone line
I am a bowl continually rolling down an endless alley
No need to correct me
I am beside you
Watching
Your lovely curls and the way you sway and swirl and use your curls
Instead of words to choose direction
I am beside you
Listening
I am your ears
Your voice sounds gently through
Pennine windsYour words - 'I will find love!!!'
Your thoughts sneak to the foggy hillside peaks
Screaming - 'Will i find love?'
I am beside you
As is love
As is the pencil portrait of my dog with his floppy ears
Malfunctioning charmingly
As is the greasy pilchard dish cooked and served on
Comfortable tables alongside mediterranean sand grains
Erupting between toes, warm and homely
As is the packet of boiled sweets you purchased and consumed
With mouth-watering intensity, licking your lips as men oozed by
Eyes on eyes, with no return
As is the big biscuit tin holding the most picturesque money in the world
As are the living and the dead and the monsters
And the creators who never existed
As are the worlds never spoken of
As are the words never spoken and the garbage can fish skeletons
bought for millions
As is the pure orange juice that settles in a simple glass
Where luscious clippings of orange rest in the basement
Collecting for the last magical gulp
As are the supermodels and cowboy heroes
As are the peasants and the earls
Acting with thoughts and noughts and crosses
Moving, tempting, helping, scalping, tickling
And mama teresa is beside you, for
I canIdentify her little feet alongside everything
Everyone and thing
Inside of you
Beside you
Just lying there in your accurately woven picnic hamper
With such a pleasant bow
English country garden Fri, 28 Jan 2000 19:49 * ConflictPink and boat-like
Floating
On a gentle air cluster
In
an
I have an eagle on my shoulder
Its visions cannot be explained
Its size roars from fearsome lightning bolts
Volting perfectly through simple keyholes
Its movement is clear and pure
Unfaultered
It does not know who it is
As it needs no description
And cares for no description
It is an assault course for the karmic royalty
It is an end
Simplicity is enormous
I like my eagle for he is you and I
Sometimes the eagle walks past its
Canary compatriot who sits on the shoulder of a familiar face
Who's familiar anger builds each time he makes his distress evident
'My bird is bigger than yours!' he proclaims
With the roar of a hungry lion
I reply 'Your beautiful bird is no different to my bird'
Again, he roars louder like a starving hippo
The canary looks at him as if he has lost his marbles.

* Time Is Ridiculous
If I abuse you, I hurt myself
If I throw banquets at your laughing lips
I begin the starvation of my own body
If I intend to manipulate, then I am inserting the
Trowel and beginning to dig the hole where my
Flawfull body will rot
If anger is formed in this body, simply because of your presence
After my endless slipstream of mind cries and hides
From eventualities crawling out of the pasts dark hands
Then I am not a man but an aggressive man
If, in the cold, I blow out the simple candle flame to halt my
Longing for the desirable, smoky, atmospheric jump
From flicker to neverending blank action
I become blind
If I, at any point become incomprehensible it is unintended
And your stream will catch this stream
And link, not as words
But as every stream heads to the eternal ocean
If I persist to attempt an answer on asking myself
'What is mankind?'
Then I am a persistent man of some kind
Together with you
In the blameless mental hospital called earth
