Listen to the church bells ring
In the tower by the town's square
Just listen to the joy they bring
The familiar hymns make all aware
When all the earth shall sing
To the love of dear God we share
When you ring to tell us time
As we wait we all will find
Our ears will count each chime
Subconsciously in our mind
The hours of each day sublime
Getting through our daily grind
Through the seasons we shall pass
Be comfort and content that will last
Resonating from bronze or brass
Ring mementos from our past
Children playing on the grass
Parents working by contrast
Whatever were doing seems to halt
When the mighty bells ring out
We will stop and listen by default
And wait for time to bring about
Each precious moment we exalt
Those great bells we never doubt

About this poem:
We should all be so reminded of the "peace and love and stability" we all need to share together,
as frequently and regularly, as the bells that ring from the church towers.

We live in a land of fairy tales
Old and new
And from the mouths of Kings and rulers
Every deceit spews
In religion there is a happy end
And in New Age we just ascend
On the World Wide Web
We can focus on the next celeb
That’s playing the evil Lucifer
Or, should we just elect Jeb
And become
A dynasty connoisseur
Of stories, paths and roads traveled
Hopelessly unraveled
While we keep the status quo
The truth may well be
That some fairy tales just blow
We should agree
Really light up and rearrange
Rework change
The paradigm has no end in sight
Riddled with continuous ‘fright or flight’
Time for a rewrite
What to do on planet earth
Ah…visualize rebirth
Simply unplug from the matrix
All the ideologies and tricks
Make your own world
Neatly knitted and purled
With threads of silver and gold
Be bold
Don’t look back
No backtrack
In your own fairytale you are the Knight
Keep moving toward the quintessential light
Because if you don’t have a dog in the fight
Unplugging is right
Nothing in this world to fear
Just tell ‘em “I’m not from around here”
Live a life of happily ever after
Filled with gobs of laughter
Cut the strings of the puppeteer
Then simply . . . disappear
Into the fairytale reality you create
Because, it’s going to be absolutely great!

Signs of the times when written and unfortunately getting worse; thinking of creating freedom within. .

Tyrants, ogres and ghouls
Witches, warlocks and fools
Parading throughout history replete
Preying on humanity and the weak
Enforcing laws and rules as they speak
No man or woman mandating insane claims
Has the right to proliferate nefarious games
Where all people are the enemy of the few
Hunted, accosted and trapped like a shrew
A reckoning is coming and it’s on the rise
All foretold by the ancients and the wise
Monsters, dragons and demon beasts
Supping on life blood in ritual feasts
Know that the ending of delusion is soon
The giants are heavily knapped and hewn
By angelic armies powerful and strong
Hurled into the fire where they belong
The egregious villains are destined for hell
Ending the stronghold of their cursed spell

The soul began without any man, it's true, twas not me or twas not you,..we are the creation of imagination, tis all it can really be, who was before the creator of all, who can see, who can prove anything else to me? Our god is good full of piety, loves all, not bad to see, thats how we live,,,, full of stupidity!

Oppressive western civilization
Must assuredly wither and die
Creating a world of beauty and love
That sees with third eye
These worldly possessions become
Our burdensome prison
Shorn, the body and soul are in
Natural harmonic unison
Sailing through infinite space
On pure love as our provision
Brilliant grids of energy can be
Seen in psychic vision
Dimensions of existence and
Mental clarity free from chains
Spiritual journeys to Summerland
Traveled upon the astral planes
Wishing to break away from
Earthly realities and strife
Souls peer into mirrors viewing
Reflections of abstract life
Achieving esoteric knowledge
To hold, embrace and discern
Lessons of this life are given
In universal love to learn
Seeking to rise above mental shields
Ideological beliefs revolving
Around concepts of netherworlds
A continual eternal trek
Life passes in somber processions
Rising in scarlet crescendos
Playing through our minds as we throw
Emptiness into burning infernos
Breaking free is an act of turning away
And embracing the excitement
Discernment sees the universal elements
Of what is real in our enlightenment
Rising above the great rain shadow desert
Meeting in mid air the angelic hosts
Empowered with pure harmony
Like the oceans hug the coasts

Heart aching for the freedom we are losing everyday in the world

At the end of the night
It’s just you and I
My cold indifference grew stronger
If only your touch made me feel alright
We’re seemingly islands apart
If only we were running down the terminal
To catch the last flight
Destination unknown…
Can’t wait until morning
I’ll drift off to sleep and forget
Wake and feel nothing at all
But these numb feelings can’t be held to the fire
You’re all I got and my true hearts desire.
I’m not letting you go….
So everything I have… I’ll bare
Dancing away all regret and fear
This night might be mundane
But It’s all we got
We might be ordinary
But together we spark
Tonight is however we want
Tonight, together, forever your flame
This night was agonizing
Until we floated away….

About this poem:
Lost love, dead marriage, loathing her husband and pretends to love him for that night and drinks herself to sleep until she floats away. Grasping at straws before the final end.

If only privacy existed
if only I could be unlisted
if only I had more time
if only these chains felt fine
I would break away in a heartbeat
but reality’s a creep
the chains are dragging across the floor
and killing my feet
Chaos all around
No order ever found
If I could run I’d hit the ground
Never looking back
Never being found
Living forever in a private compound.
But that will never be the case
Every eye is watching me from every face
if only I could leave without a trace.
But I’m found
I’m bound and tied and beating to their drum
Finding myself never felt so numb

If flat earth is where it’s at
And round globes are actually flat
Contemplating that and this
Upon the heavenly stars we wish
Those luminous balls of plasma
Enchanting us with bright charisma
Those ley lines that are crossing
The earth like fine linen embossing
Then there are the monumental pyramids
So majestic and mysteriously spirited
And unexplained megaliths and monoliths
Is this some shrouded geopolitics?
Were ancients here in dire peril?
Seeking an outer layer sclera?
But we have been distracted.
Our brains completely protracted
Artifacts are cries for truth
Not a search for a fountain of youth
It’s very hard to fathom
Or even try to imagine
The depths of such deception
Of such a calculating inception
To keep mankind down
Just keep them going ‘round
We are to be the seeker
Not delusional and weaker
If knowing the truth is better
Then open up that sealed letter
Tell us all the mysteries of time
Not silent movements of pantomime
Entities that work so hard
Treating mankind like bits of shard
We’re done now don’t you know
Not deserving of the free throw
No foul by us committed
Only truth we want admitted
If you think this has been an accident
Perpetrated for humankind’s amusement
You’re so dead wrong
And it won’t be long
Until you hear, “we’re not playing ball anymore”
It’s all the lies and cover-ups we deplore
Know that truth will ultimately prevail
Then the elites are going straight to hell
Oops, I mean jail! (Same thing)

The day was gloomy from the start
Mirroring my empty broken heart
Tendrils of agony twisted and clawed
Underneath the deep gray bitter fog
It seemed like it was only yesterday
That everything was mere child’s play
And as raindrops fell in sharp staccato rhythms
Again I yearned for sounds of familiar drums
Only hearing tinted silence in a doleful refrain
Shutting out the melancholy of incessant pain
Regret beset my mind in density of a copse
Isolated within the twilight clatter of raindrops

Personal reflections in the gloom of a rainy day.

The clock upon the wall keeps ticking
In a slow procession of beats
The cars parade out on the streets
Sitting lost in silent thinking
The world has changed irreversibly
People now moving in fractured sync
Afraid to cough or even blink
As their lives become more beastly
For most it's just a continued misery
Seeing no hope or reason now
Not seeing the depth of the trickery
Nor even asking why or how
Life has changed for everyone
Inscribed in the minutes ticking by
Measured only in the overrun
And, still the people don't ask why
Solutions abound for those in control
They're drunk on a powerful drink
All the people bow down and shrink
Having lost their voices and human souls
Freedom is fleeing from all mankind
Life's normal now orchestrated to appall
In the malicious lies fabricated to malign
Measured in the ticking of the . . .
. . .clock upon the wall
