Whispering

As she whispers

I learn

to lower my voice

My Only Weapon Is My Pen - The written words of one enigmatic lunatic known as DakaSky

CRAM

FLAKE
my ass
is dry and crisp
CRAB
and claw
suck and twist
INK
is what
likes to write
but a SLOTH
could sleep
both day and night
don’t STAIN
my mind
with injurious thoughts
It’s pure
It’s righteous
It can’t be bought
MOTIVATE
me merrily
to scratch my ass
and
TWITCH
my nose
with style and class
We all can
FLAGELLATE
it’s definitely time
PAUSE
to find
peace of mind
CRAM

Finding Reality Once Again

I tripped on acid
once
and spun
around
until
I turned into
the Tasmanian Devil
from those
damn cartoons
whirling
and twirling
until reality
was just a blur
I kept this up
for several years
until one day
I had to stop
mostly ’cause
I was thirsty
and then
I had twisted off
so far from here
that I had to start
spinning
the other direction
counterclockwise
I think it was
and I’m still
kind of dizzy
now a backwards blur
I’m trying
to pinpoint
exactly where
to stop
so I can find
reality once again
In full circle
I wonder
if I really want to
find it
or not

We All Have Dreams

BROAD
AS A BEACH
ROOMY
AS A MIND
CENTRIFUGALLY
LOVING
ONLY TO FIND
THAT PURE HOPE
CAN DIE
WITHOUT ACTION
TO FOLLOW
THE DREAM
CANNOT FLY
WHEN THE DREAM
IS HOLLOW
HOLD UP
TO THE FLAME
OL’ FORTUNATE TIME
BURN ALL
BUT THE NOW
AND CONTINUE TO CLIMB
FOR THE JOURNEY
IS WHERE
YOU REACH
THE DREAM
IT IS NOT
WHAT YOU THINK
IT IS NOT
WHAT IT SEEMS
LIVE TO CAPACITY
YES
DOWN TO THE TOP
HOLD OPEN
YOUR HEART
AND DON’T
EVER STOP
YOU GOTTA
LET LOVE FLOW IN
AND GIVE IT ALL BACK
YES THIS IS THE DREAM
TOO MANY OF US LACK
BROAD
ROOMY, YES!
ALL INCLUSIVE
YET THE DREAM
SEEMS TO BE
FOREVER ELUSIVE
DO YOU HAVE A DREAM?
YES, LOVE IT
CHASE IT
YES, I HAVE A DREAM
AND KNOW
THAT I’LL MAKE IT———–>

LOVE

Feeding The Fire Ants

a mass of ants
devour a leaf
including
the stem
and I soon
discover
that I know
several things
none of which seem
relevant to this
so I reach
to a tree
near
the crawling
clawing
pile
of
six-legged pincers
and pull off
a juicy
green
piece of foliage
off
gently
and feed
the fire
again

Tears of Love

FASCINATING TEARDROPS

ROLL OVER CHEEKS

TRUTH REVEALED

TRUTH I SEEK

CLEAR AND BLUE

DOWN THEY STREAK

INTO THE LIGHT

WE ALL SHALL PEEK

MY MIND DISTORTED

WEARY AND WEAK

MY HEART IS OPEN

OPEN AND MEEK

WATERY CLOUDS

FROM EYES THAT LEAK

FEELINGS SURROUNDED

BY MUCH MYSTIQUE

SOME MIGHT SAY

THAT I’M A FREAK

BUT I KNOW love

IS NOT UNIQUE

THIS IS THE TRUTH

THE TRUTH I SPEAK

WITH love MY LIFE

NO LONGER BLEAK

Swim On

Pictures fall
to my twisted vision

A kaleidoscope
of memories
dance
and brainy thoughts
worm about
a backlash
of deep light

The hook
dangles
with conspicuous bait
and I am tempted

There’s always a string
Always pain
Yet I am tempted

I paddle through
confusion

Muddied minds
and thick waters
are not ideal
for living

I am tempted
but like a drooling fish
I swim on
