pyroclastic flo: Full Moon

I'm sure you can see it,
The doubt written there,
In my face, my mannerisms.
In the way I hesitate to confess
The aberrations of my soul.

See how I laugh it off?
The wards are filled,
With strutting Napoleons,
And Christ is a babbling lunatic,
Drooling in the corner.

So if I dance oh so lightly,
On the edge of your razor,
Try to understand the intensity,
Of my constant concentration.
One slip can end my existence,
In your reality forever.

pyroclastic flo: Singular Anomaly

I am lonely,
Without my delusion.
The illusion of Other,
A mirror to talk to.

Everywhere I look,
I see only my self.
A singular anomaly,
Posing in separateness

My loneliness reflected,
In billions of mirrors
Expressions, though varied,
Are always the same.

Billions of personalities,
With void at the core
Struggling for existence,
As the delusion fades.

There is only One.
These words are meaningless,
Within that context.
Who am I addressing, after all?

pyroclastic flo: A Captivating Story

Your scars are your story, joys between the lines,
The inadvertent tattoos of your heroic life,
On your skin, your heart, your hands, on your face.
I can read you, trace you with my fingers like braille.

Inflicted beauty, a response to the strain.
Grace in the battle for Truth, wearying on the path.
The duress of character seeking pure expression.
The white flag of surrender is your victory

Your eyes confirm what I surmise. The knowledge,
Revealed in them was not obtained for free.
The cost is self evident, their black pupils,
Are puncture wounds, deep and unhealed.

Would i keep you in pain to maintain your passion?
Or free you to watch you die? a caged bird released.
How long can you endure? Sighs escape your parted lips.
My indecision prolongs your suffering. I Am captivated.

bananahamburg: Was it not

The lines which fell

Fell but did not tell

As they build their own formation

glimmering in their ....omptrous and vicinity

Stood the girl, innocence and all

Trying to discern fact from flesh

As her oracle in masculine intent

Appeared before her involuntary credulaction

Relaxation ensued

All things, to satisfy.

pyroclastic flo: Silent Witness

I come into your eyes again,
One of many sharing the view
Residue of epiphanies, kaleideoscopic.
I gain something like understanding.

How odd to be what you are,
If only for a moment, alien familiarity,
A mythic thing, an extended spectrum.
I don't wonder why you hide behind our doubt.

No one ... Every one, the delineations vague.
The temptation to disappear entirely,
Like a blissful agony, teetering on the cusp,
Tentative balance, oblivion forestalled for Love,

For awareness, for sensation, for Us,
For me to be peering through your eyes
In that reality creating instant.
What are you?, I ask my Self. Silence.

pyroclastic flo: The Sympathy of Love

Poor little thing,
All your struggling,
Is to no avail.
I will not release you.

I bind you to Me,
Flesh, Breath and Spirit.
Metals can not be forged
Rivaling the strength of Love.

That is not cold you see,
In My eyes but confidence.
I sympathize with your captivity,
But your freedom is Death.

I Am Love.
I can not Die,
So you exist.
I will not be alone.

pyroclastic flo:
Now or Never

Please don't offer me "soon".
"Soon" is another word for "Never".
Say, instead, that it is Now,
Yet unrealized, still coalescing.

Coalescing from mists of dreams,
The infernos of passion,
The breath of desire,
The pounding of the heart of Love.

Please don't touch me to cause longing,
I can not survive such torture.
Be with me Now or be not at all.
Eternity is forever in the waiting.

Waiting to Be Who We already are.
Waiting to Be where We already stand.
Waiting for the "soon" to be Now.
Waiting forever for ... you.

pyroclastic flo: It's a Risk

"It's a risk" he said, "to take it personally."
"It's easy enough" he said,"to blend into the masses."
"Blur the delineation lines of personality,
"And become generic, unnoticed ... inoffensive."

"The Message" he said, "is a general broadcast,
"A constant Call", he said, "to those with the senses to hear"
"Responding to it as an individual is always dangerous,
"As you might be mad or more frightening ... accurate and chosen."

"It becomes" he said, "no longer just about believing in yourself,
"But more" he said "what it is about your self you believe"
"And how to discern truth from dreaded hubris."
"Would you confess to Being Love knowing ... it's a risk?"

well thought out and beautifully constructed as usual.

these are precious few and far between but seems that's always the way with inspirations.

Doc and you would see eye to eye.

wanda is in total agreement of course with your thesis ... but danced around in her mind with the concept of hubris and thought "hmmm is there really such a thing .... or is hubris jus a phase on the way to understanding ... like a halloween costume that's discarded when the season's over.

pyroclastic flo: Common Denominator

There is a witness,
Forever standing aloof,
It's eye always open, watching.
Only this reason for being.

Grand designs and devices,
Broken down into motive.
Noting not judging,
Waiting for the results.

Abstractions of reality,
Play out as color equations,
Dance through the mental grid.
Anticipating the common denominator.

In automatic sequence,
The symbols drop into place.
Confirming not discovering,
Answers already perceived.
