AnswerS (w/ PodCast)

AnswerS

Chaos is freedom

Order restricts

Form is a limit

Void, the escape.

Apathy's balanced

Concern, an extreme.

Fantasy lives

While reality dreams.

The search is in vain;

To cease is to find.

The thinker is stumped

The observer is blind.

The soul is an ego

One's body, a mind.

Being is empty

Yet existence still sacred

Corruption goes clothed

And all virtue lies naked ...

Passion is searing

Love soothing 'til calm.

"Nothing is holy"

Makes any song a psalm.

Equally valid when reversed are these truths:

Vice-versa is law—as each lie has its use.

Seres Alzados (Special Spanish Edition w/ PodCast)

"Angeles son poderes escondidos dentro los organos y faculdades del hombre." ~ Ibn Al 'Arabi, Gran Maestro de los Sufis

Seres Alzados

~ I ~

No temo a nada ni a nadie

Sea que ande paseando

Por las avenidas de San Salvador

O sobre los muros en Machu Picchu

Ahi voy, con pasos pesados

Aventado a toda cabeza

Deletreando frases vivientes

En tres idiomas (Frances, Ingles, y este)

Porque el mas alla no se queda quieto

Ni tan siquiera un solo instante

Menos para los quienes se inquietan

Y aquellos que se desesperan

Bueno, esos salen aun peor.

~ II ~

La Muerte es transcendente

Nuestras almas; ilusion

En esta vida no hay constante

Excepto, vuestra fe y devocion

Tal como Castaneda os dijo

Que Don Juan había dicho:

"El unico camino que debes seguir

Es uno que sobresale rebalsando

Desde tu propio sentir."

Asi que nos toca eligir

Rechasar el misterio con ciencia

Sacrificando lo ideal - o -

Bautisarse con agua pura de consciencia

Cual es la misma energia

Del espacio abierto, universal!

Principia Poetica

"It is Language which speaks" 

~ Stéphane Mallarmé

Principia Poetica

Poetry lacking controversy is like a story without conflict: boring!

Poesy acts like a mirror, which reflects the souls of its readers
so the less that people understand themselves
the less they’ll understand this inner dimension of poetics.

The best poems touch upon powerful, universal themes
tapped from our collective unconscious;
themes that transcend these scripted tautologies.

Some poems are far greater than the sum of their words.

Whereas we Poets are mere conduits...
Trance-channelers reveling in ecstasy—
graced by our muse’s embrace!

Unloving

Unloving

Accusing him of selfishness

She is not self-aware

Promotes her work well

But leaves him threadbare

He lays patient siege

Yet her walls are unscalable

Trying to soothe her bruised heart

Which remains unassailable

Every sound from his voice

Backfires without fail

Any action he takes

Her critique does derail

There were once brighter days

When their thoughts were in sync

Mutual vibes; bodies entwined

Now peace falls apart in a blink!

It happens to most of us

Though we dread its arrival

Roads lead to dead ends

Sweet words turn to libel

[This is the lemonade squeezed from the bitter limes of a rancid romance].

Hymn For Quetzalcoatl

Hymn For Quetzalcoatl

Come Toltec Pharaoh

Arrive and take your place 

Among the figureheads of destiny

Apply your bird's-eye-view

To reinterpret history

All learning is remembering

How to reconcile the Real 

Unto an Ideal

Uniting Physics & Metaphysics

In that transcendental matrimony

Foretold by William Blake

And attained through Tantric alchemy

When Apollo melds into Dionysus

Odin rejoins his blood brother Loki

And Shiva is as one with Shakti

Then the Feathered Serpent can't be far off

Accompanied by his dark, bloodthirsty twin

Tezcatlipoca; smoking mirror

So come now Toltec Pharaoh

Descended from Atlantis

Born to wield

Jaguar's brutal strength

In perfect balance with

Eagle's atemporal vision

Your people await ...

Minor Arcana: Ace of Swords (Quetzalcoatl is an aerial deity after all).
