Love and hate



Where/when how did life
ever learn to adapt, its reality?

Extend itself beyond the height and depth
Of its brief period of viability

In effort to overcome the obvious solution

A step from this moment of cascading breath of life
To its inevitable conclusion.

While some may try, to make a deal with the devil. Coerced, by ugly truths or evil lies.

Dance throughout the experience of life,
making unfathomable concessions.

When the very last moment
comes uninvited,

perhaps, as a welcome relief
after so many losing battles,

we gladly fold our hands
Or if by the futile gesture

we struggle to the bitter end

Perhaps, some extend
the battle beyond death

Others whimpering
tired of the unending fight

Bob and weave,

floored by the unexpected left hook
Followed, swiftly by the right.

Some fall asleep at the wheel

Looking down a road with no end in sight

Others, still victims of foolish pride
trying to fulfill a manifest destiny
to no end

never knowing how, or why.

Whether, by abject stupidity
Or by circumstantial suicide

Same ending, as the ticket is punched

And we line up
to enter the final stage
to be tried

Destination eternity
on the train all must ride

Pondering, whether
we must exit stage left or right

Does it really matter
if, we are to be continued?

To those who’re still asking...
Whether even the stars hear our prayers

Rest assured we are connected
By every heartbeat and each spark, between

As every star in heaven is counted

The very fabric of our being
Reborn into another life

As we leave, turn out the light

When our time is nigh,
our souls are ripe

No longer in imbued
with spark of light of life

To bend the rules outside the box

yet, duplicate the chance
for us to dance on past the elusive end

And yet, to have the consciousness
to utilize YX factor,

giving us the means to apply its opposite
its means extreme.

Existential connections, tapping the unseen.

Inconceivable corrections (long pause)


By the creator …for the love which is within

our creed/beginning clause…

NOT To narrow its focus purely…
to a need to survive

Self-preservation to use the EXT button,
to execute the final solution

to stretch the consciousness,
beyond this experience of life

To cross over to the next.

To return, once more
between words.

Unwritten in the text

To the endpoint of the next beginning

Start anew, to correct /reconnect
Erase the preceding, mistakes

Perhaps even change the rules/tools
Factors used in the equation

Of what we do to live.
To reconfigure the way we do the things we do

Make our greater selves, relevant
To the problems we must face with our fate

Reconfigured to another way
to get around/evade

The insurmountable,
begin to reproduce

Become able to respond to
Feel the need to nurture and protect

Ages beyond the coincidental tides
of circumstance

Which have arrived allowed this ability, we share

To become our time in life
Emerging into this present reality

As the tides of civilizations swirl and eddy
In the flow of empires, which rise and fall…

Impassioned people rise to the answer to its call

Kingdoms become young and strong

Ebb, just as the moon turned tides

Follow by the nature of their being

Life happens, through our every move
Still, energy exchange within

And without our need
To become the wolf, we feed

The power magnified falling into place,
Joins the battle as if personally invited

As the war of principalities rages on
Conflict based upon, factorizations between
Realities and our dreams

between overwhelming desires
and our abilities to stabilize
Hard fought gains in humanity

Exposing the fraud and the treachery
Which follows our collective pathways
Across infinity Throughout eternity

Energetic principalities, time space
Continuous inconsistencies coexist
in fiery reactions, counterintuitive factions

Two sides of the middle lost in the balance
Of the equation of life as if on cue,

We step to task even without a cue,
When asked we take a leap of faith

Seeking a path to the solution as the world
Is laid waste with lies

by those whose self-interest
can no longer coincide.

Losing touch with reality
As if the ocean's deep cries to touch the stars

Yet even, as the sun and stars
kiss the open waters


penetrating in time places

light may not even shine
even to their depth

as intense pressures expose beings
whose life path cancels others,

And the stars heat pulsations peak at its core
Creates a spark, brings forth the arc

Opening portals to other dimensions
No time for confusion, dispel the illusion

Your desire to spread hate explodes the
Myth of unity, creates unrest in the community

As if even to make “America” great, again
Makes you terminate all others for you to win

If you’ve taken the bait it’s too late/no escape
Enemies on every side bargaining life or death

Each day hopelessness grows.
A luxury we cannot afford. Now losing our peace

As the last breath of life trickles away
Left to die without spiritual relief…

Neither can we climb to a heavenly lair,
Relief having toiled many lifetimes

Only to fail again to find the Love
Before our soul at last released

To the unknown
In the end of our time in life.

Whether to show love
Or just pretend to be aligned

Walking towards the light
Of eternity
