Remember Me

water hand

Wind whisper my name

in his ear

Let my breath soften his heart

 

Water keep my memory alive

Let him see my eyes in your reflection

 

Swells of emotions

deep inside these tides

 

Just a feeling blowing in my

mind reminding me of an earlier time

 

Circle in the sand

Remember my command

Water dripping from my hand

Let me fly above this land

 

Wind whisper my name

in his ear

Let my breath soften his heart

 

Remember me…

If you please

A Test

A Test

There once was girl who longed for home

for she was not of this Universe and she longed to go home

But she did not know where her home was

or if anyone would listen to her cries of her heart

she felt so all alone out in the middle of no where

Surely, this had been some big mistake

Things were not supposed to be this way

She wandered and wandered and she wondered if anything would ever change

Because she knew if she did not get help soon

she would just age and die like all earthlings do

So if anybody’s out there, please help her find her way

I wonder if all earth people feel this way, she said one day

Does everyone feel the end is near

or that time is running out

Does everybody else wonder what is left

and will there be anything left for me?

NO

This is just A TEST

 

Written in the early 90’s

Is this life we’ve been given just a test?

Writ, Write, Wit & Entropy

entropy

How can you be a writer, if you will not write?

What is it that is between here and there that I don’t have?

What is the purpose of dying? (To Live)

What is the purpose of living? (To Die)

Why must we live

&

Why must we die

What is the order and does it exist?

What is the opposite of entropy?

Could it exist where nothing is random

Bit by Byte

Oh Right!!!

How witty

 

Written in the Early 90’s

Random thoughts on writing and the impetus of wanting to write…sorting through contemplatively the matrix of what is, and what is not…never titled, just threw on a title today (July 26, 2017)…finally writing a bit….maybe in an attempt to escape entropy

 

A Man in Love

arms wide open

A man in love will drive hundreds of miles to date his beloved, but once a man has that woman, if the love he thought he had turns out to be lust, his interest to drive a thousand miles for a piece of ass vanishes.

 

I want a man who would drive a thousand miles to be with me today, and everyday like it was the first. His love for me witnessed by his yearning to be with me, I will see as a love that is true.

 

In the beginning of relationships, a man will linger on every word of his beloved. If he lets other things in his life take precedent, he will no longer have time to listen and will become impatient, and most intolerable. A woman senses the things a man becomes intolerant of, and if they signal that it is something she is doing quite naturally, then she knows her natural self is being denied its existence, and off to more fertile ground will her heart yearn to plant. For how can love thrive when the cultivating of love does not take precedent? Often love comes quite naturally, and often the tiller of the soil is necessary to sacrifice in the cultivation in order to reap what he sows. Men listen, women listen for even in love you reap what you sow, yet love is a gift to continually give, for God gives us this very gift continually. If we mimic the Father, will he be pleased, I think he is, and more yet he knows that is what it takes for us to be well pleased.

 

Is there a righteous man left to teach the ways of the Lord to his wife. Why are so many women so fearful of submission to a Godly man? Are they in fear of the very man they claim to love when they take a man to wed? Why would a woman want a man she did not respect to care for her every need under the direction of God? Women live in fear these days to be in subjection to men, and often that is the very man they marry. I believe it is they know inside their man is not a man of God, and that is at the root of their fear to submit! Yet herein is a paradox, for we are all children of God, if we so choose to be.

 

Can love thrive and bare fruit, when ye keep your garden dry?

 

I yearn to know the ways of the Lord. For I want to know how to keep my garden full of the flowers, and the fruits of his blessings, for to be without his instruction is to be back in the void. Out of the void we came, do we return there if we fail to see and hearken to his eternal wisdom? I believe to be born in this life is a blessing. In essence to go beyond the void is our purpose, to return to God pure and undefiled. It is his teachings, to heed Christ to cleanse the blemishes by daily renewal to walk toward the light, for by walking toward the light is the best way to be walking in the light. The baptism is a continual cleansing, the more muck and corruption of the world caked on us, there needs to be an awareness of what one must do to keep the filth away. To tread back on those same paths again is like a child playing in the mud never learning of the beauty underneath it all. Why play ye with dogs in pits where vicious men barter their souls in their drunken wanton escapades where the vanity to escape into their power plays is a snare that captivates the innocent and the fools? Get ye up and clean yourself off and tread not there again. Wipe the dust of their corruption off your feet! Wipe the dust of your own self-deceit off your feet, for your purpose is not completed ever in such filth.

Written some time between 1996-2003

Note: A man in love, taps the well spring of the divine, with arms wide open in surrender his well never runs dry….the Christos manifestation in actions of emulation…where miracles happen, and the spirit lifts and dances in delight…the body is lifted by every cell bathed in this wondrous light.

Valentine

Valentine

I cannot be your Valentine

There was a time when this could have been

That time has now passed my friend

There were many days of love we shared

Many special days in mind

Where I knew we cared

All such more than a valentine

This year is new

I am not with you

your essence is always with me

even though your presence is not here

Let me be

For I have a heart

and another to cherish near

we did part

and that choice made clear

the love you had

left me sad

as I left

and you stayed

love is no bet

to be played

A heart in one’s life is precious

Be it shared on a Birthday, Christmas, or Valentine

You had mine

and oft it was treated treacherous

The life we created

you wished to be obliterated

There was no love there

I mistook you for someone with a heart to share

Can’t you tell

You taught your lesson well

Not to care

and even though I do dare

To care

it is from a distance

from a different point of view

Over now is my penance

of my charity to you…

Entertain me no more that I’m your valentine

For there was a time when this could have been

That time has now passed my friend

Take your heart and go in peace

Find the warmth of your desire

For all the coldness of your acts I release

Inward a breath

 

A sigh held high let out

To unfold my grief

In acceptance of our death

I find relief

No longer are you my lord, nor sire

So put out the fire

of those thoughts

Go on to create new dots

But leave me be

For the sake of my sanity

In my heart you are and always will you be

Yet my love for you has been set free

It is no longer mine to give thee

I wanted to keep you all to myself

but the butterfly I knew would die

I tried to give love to you, the nectar of my life

So unselfishly we have to part

Because I know I’m not the one

Who’ll fill your heart

2/8/2000

Note: After an 18 month relationship, he did not want to move from one coast to another at that time, and said he’d come later, and I knew then I would leave and not look back…yet he is the one looking back time and time again….now it haunts him what he gave away…

Endless Deaths of Disillusionment

Angel prostate
I’m the lonely
I’m the vulnerable
I’m the insecure
sitting at prey
I’m in need
I bleed
tears of pain
and sadness born from within
many years of hurts
that take their toll
always fighting to stay above
yet inside I drown
numerous times
these endless deaths
that I refuse to give in to
Yet their choke hold is never far
as time circles
I’m caught in the loop
of these emotions that come and go
they have my soul bound up
in the powers of their stings
that seem to never completely heal
set goals to give myself reason
To wake and to live and to breathe
they keep me standing
but the joy is far
as I wonder if these feats
to accomplish
will mean anything at all
My spirit broke
so long ago
temporary distractions to pack the wounds
yet the scars still there to remind me daily
that I am fortunate to be standing
so fortunate to feel this pain
I wish so much to release from my being
Yet will it ever cease
I feel washed up
used and now discarded
diseased by my inability
to free myself from these dark chambers
of emptiness and disappointment
of all my disillusionments
of how things should be, that are not
but that are in me
I pray them to be plucked, yet they remain
and I am lost
pretending to find myself
The only thing I wish is to sleep
and to be free from pain when I wake
I wish there was someone who could help me
But I’m afraid I’m too stubborn
in my need to justify the need of fairness
that I cannot even seem to give myself
let alone anyone else
so in my deeds of sin I sit
as I hurt from all the sins cast at me
and the combination of it all
just covers me, killing me endlessly
tormenting me, torturing my mind
my soul, my spirit and body
I feel that I am now wasted
and that all I have now is death
to welcome
I don’t feel anyone can love me
nor respect me for who I am
for all in all I am nothing
but a mother who gave birth
whose children now go forth
my seed continues
and I have done my task
what now, what now I ask
what meaning in this life is there left for me…
I have loved and died incomplete…and now I surrender
11-15-2000
Note: Within a transition and reflective period after divorce, still out on a limb, going through a spiritual cleansing of my internal house, the ego wrestling with falling away…its death is never silent, as it makes one question everything and make one feel as though they want to die, but it’s just the ego that needs to die….give it up and release its choke hold…surrender to love, and come to be in the accepting of what is… in the present moment. Every time the ego rears its head, and puts one in a spin of depression, don’t do its bidding, snuff it out…through endless deaths, each and every time it surfaces…take notice, but ultimately it will need to be killed off, lest it kill you time and time again. It is a process.

Hands Across the Valley (A remembrance)

hands

You ask why an autograph; perchance a brush with fame. Yet, I know we’re all the same. This you know as well. That is why your hearts opened up your home to charity. No matter how big or small, rich or poor we may all be, the human existence opens up us all to sacrifice. We all live and we all die and what is it all for? In this life we have a chance to be remembered. My asking for your name was so I could be remembered and so my daughter will remember our little brush with fame. Yet, I know we’re all the same. We all have our ups and downs, our here’s and there’s and all arounds. But if our hearts stay true, our souls may have the chance to be pure. From our darkest moments, we can set new goals, and not be victims of the past. So may all the hungry hearts be fed, so they may have the chance to set goals to enrich their lives.

Note: We meet again….F. Coppola, Napa Valley August 25, 1995

 

The Spirit of every Breath

chris e room wh

Christmas as a child

I could hardly wait

the night before looking at all the shining lights

reflecting off the colorful bows below

A top the tree an angel glows

 

In my heart thinking

Happy Birthday to Jesus

Yet upon reflection it was

more like a Happy Birthday to me

 

The years pass on

and I remember my loved ones

Now long gone

 

Having children of my own

Getting caught up in the consumerist storms

That pass through year after year

when my children would receive more than their fair share

 

In my soul I shudder

to think that the birth of Jesus many not have even been in the month of December

and that Christmas is really a combination of Pagan and Christian beliefs merged

 

Every year people near and far are always in deep spiritual need

Yet filling their stockings

Eating their pies

As their credit cards reach all time highs

Seems to be the way so many fill their gluttonous greed

 

Oh yes, the spirit of giving is the true divine gift

Yet too many use that as a crutch

to cleanse their guilt of the whole year

by going out and buying turkeys for the poor

 

When really if they would just look

in the eyes of their loved ones

and all the neighbors they should love as their selves

And say to them honestly

What can I give thee of myself

from my heart and soul truly…

 

I do believe miracles would begin to happen

Do give not for the sake of want

but let the spirit of giving

be a part of every breath

 

for just three days ago

I saw a crushed car

only to find out last night

a friend of my sons died that day

 

Every breath we draw in our being is a precious gift divine

we cannot be sustained without it

so I urge all I know to honor their spirit

to let each breath be one to celebrate

and not take for granted

 

And if there are no presents under the tree

One should be thankful that they are there to be

In that state of being to know that every breath they take

is a chance to give

 

so give of yourself to friend and foe

the spirit of love

for in that same spirit of love

God gave us Christ

 

In the examples of how Christ lived

We can come to learn and to grow

how to really be in spirit

 

for when we live in spirit

we touch the lives of all we know

 

so give from the divine heart every day

not just one day a year

Whether it is to give a hand or ear to someone near

give from the heart without fear

 

so that when the day comes when you take your last breath

You will firmly know that your material purpose has been fulfilled

 

I urge all to see it is the selfless who gives in every moment

who truly has it all…Merry Christmas to all…

Liberation

andrew gonzalez

In our minds we are always free

we cannot be contained with the walls of flesh and bone mentalities

Our spirit wants to flee

will not settle for material desires

that wrap around

to bring man down

 

such an obscure attainment

to be shrouded in wealth’s raiment

void of spiritual arraignment

the pure lament

 

The soul to grow

by fire

to know

 

the burn within

sparks a flame

divine intent

is born

 

for it is without this world

a jewel is refined

 

it is within

only a diamond in the rough

 

to venture on the coals

to set foot upon the path

and never look back

 

no pity

no sorrow

 

only joy in revelation

that it is all in us

the travesties of deceit

we each must face

 

to brave the storm

to come out of the fire

a purpose to be one

 

it is not to be tread

as if it were a given

for it is open to all

 

the meek in humility

to be so called upon

to cherish all

in servitude in thought

in action each second

 

to take for granted this gift

is to be burned a thousand fold

and never shine

 

to drink of desire

of every cell

can only truth

be realized

 

in such an individual

who nurtures

his own soul

and comes to know

LOVE

 

love unblemished

untarnished

so rare

but everywhere

it is the peace

of the free

 

the liberation of the spirit

to shine forth in all it aspires

never to retire

only to return

to guide others

who make the choice

to play their turn….

 

which road will you travel

 

if you make the choice

you are there

in the center of nowhere

but where truth encircles

just waiting for the earnest

to reach out

and see accord

 

by removing the veil

layer by layer

until the light within you

can no longer be contained

 

as you took the first leap of faith

you as quickly catch the first ray

 

what you do will all be up to you

to be forever born

to be forever one

 

Amen
