White rabbit

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen softly dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"

~-Jefferson Airplane-~

Refelction

I have come curiously close to the end, down
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,
Defeated, I concede and
Move closer
I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness
How pitiful

It's calling me...

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
The moon tells me a secret - my confidant
As full and bright as I am
This light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me

Its source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don't wanna be down here feeding my narcissism.
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out
Before I pine away.

So crucify the ego, before it's far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.
Just let the light touch you
And let the words spill through
And let them pass right through
Bringing out our hope and reason ...
before we pine away.

What makes cancer tenacious?

The moon rules the fluids
Including the inner juices of human beings
That which assimilates and feeds the body
So the crab feeds his astral grain
Assimilating and distributing all he receives
Slowly, until it becomes apart of him(you)

Recitation

I can recite the grass on the hill
and memorize the moon
I know the cloudforms of love by heart
and have brought tears to the eye of a storm
and my memory banks
vaults of autumn forests
and amazon river banks and
i've screamed them into sunsets
that echoed in earthquakes
shadows have been my spotlight
as I monologue the night
and dialogue with days
soliloquies of wind and breeze
applauded by sun rays
we put language in zoos
to observe caged thought
and tossed peanuts and p-funk at intellect
and mothafuckas think these are metaphors
i speak what I see all words and worlds
are metaphors of me
my life is authored by the moon
footprints written in soil:
the fountain pen of martian men
novelling human toil and, yes,
the soil speaks highly of me
when earth-seeds
root me poet-tree
now, maybe i'm too serious
too good to hear
too little here to matter
though i'm riddled
with the reason of the sun
a stand up comet with the audience of lungs
this body of laughter
is it with me or at me?
hue more or less though gender's mute
and the punch line has this lifeline at it's root
i'm a star
this life's the suburbs,
I commute

Hi, I mostly write poetry as a hobby. I am currently getting my associate of arts degree at Red Rocks Community College. Afterwards I will be transferring to CU Boulder to get my Bachelors in Philosophy and then I will most likely continue on to get my masters and doctorate. I don't know where I will go for them, it'll depend on my grades I suppose. anyway, enjoy my writing; I haven't been writing much lately.
