Voices in my ear
Noise
Repeating, bleating out messages received, downloaded
Good drones, sheep following the lead
Asleep, dreaming wakefulness
Opinions prescribed
To counter, as though true encounter
With its opposite
Red – Blue
Ass – Pachyderm
Perp – Victim
Dominator – Submissive
Heaven – Hell
Black – White
Male – Female
Terror – Protection
Right – Wrong
Same old round and round
Dialectical distraction
Soul’s quest forsaken
Or not undertaken
Yet heart yearns
Soul knows
Courage great heart
Turn away from the illusion
Face the darkness
And find the light
There is a reason the apple has been bitten

“Soul’s quest forsaken”- I think I may have forsaken myself, my whole life. sighs,..the journey is so hard, tough, just to find…..paradise that may turn into hell….
What I am learning is that the quest is not out there but actually for my own soul
When you were 1 you became 2, but when you become 2 what will you do?~yeshua via gospel of thomas
What up brother? I think the solution is to remember that the twoness is an illusion. Damn apples. 🙂
Lovely! I agree on that apple thing… and I like it that it was Eve who had the courage to say, ok, I am breaking the rules and I want knowledge…..Adam kinda went along with it. Was that the first peer pressure? Heh.
Yes. His backbone kinda sliped out of his bottom. “Flesh of my flesh. Bone of my bone.” She completed him and he would not give that up. Its the power of women over men at times. I think women are generally more courageous. Except with spiders. 🙂 The bite brought the dualism and knowing good and evil. That may have been a fall up. But when we get trapped there we are easily manipulated as a culture. I personally think the powers that be use this anciet knowledge to intentionally distract and confuse the masses for their own benefit and toward their own ends.
What you said here makes sense “women are generally more courageous” yet its the fear, the manipulation of society. Terrible.
Sometimes to their hurt.
Paradox of life captured so well.
🙂 it is about time to plant my garden.
Yes, it was very important the apple was bitten.
Pen and paper
And I agree with Fimnora. Your voice is very mesmerizing and dramatic. That’s why they used to record people reading poetry. We’ve forgotten how fine it really is just to listen. It gives a totally different depth to your poems.
Hah! I found them all. (Pointy ears all excited.) Made you write something, she did. It was very electronic feeling. Especially coupled with the picture. Is that what happened with you? Did you get dialectically distracted? Pen and paper or computer?
I so like to hear you read your poems. My own mind can’t convey the emphasis you meant. I like pondering, as if given a riddle by a zen master.
You are wonderful. That brought me joy. 🙂 I don’t feel wise except I am beginning to understand my ignorance and it makes me smile.
I really think I need to read them cause I am not a good enough writer to convey what I hope without the extra help. I am not a serious writer. The meanings are most profound though to me. Thank you for playing with me.
Dude, I think some of your stuff is pretty dern heavy and serious. You don’t mince words. You say what’s on your mind.
