I have ceased moving, breathing and thinking. I am sounding the abyss of non-existence.

I Dont Know

I dont know
Well I cant take this any longer
I cant do this anymore
Im not getting any stronger
I dont know how to feel this anymore
You can tell me what you want
After all that youve done for me
We can make it all undone
But cant you see that
I dont know what to think
And you can tell if Im dreamin
And I wish that I could just let this go
But Im thinking
That I dont know what Im feeling
We just need special breathing
I wish that I could just let this go
But Im thinking that I dont know
I could search a thousand times before
Im up against a wall I cant ignore
I wish you didnt feel so good to hold
Cause then it wouldnt be so hard to know
You can tell me what you want
After all that youve done for me
We can make it all undone
But cant you see that
I dont know what to think
And you can tell if Im dreamin
And I wish that I could just let this go
But Im thinking
That I dont know what Im feeling
We just need special breathing
I wish that I could just let this go
But Im thinking that I dont know
I wish I could tell you
(I wish I could tell you)
That everythings gonna be alright
Cause I just wanna love you
So maybe I could let this go
You can tell me what you want
After all that you mean to me
We can make it all undone
I dont know what to think
And you can tell if Im dreamin
And I wish that I could just let this go
But Im thinking
That I dont know what Im feeling
We just need special breathing
I wish that I could just let this go
But Im thinking that I dont know

The Abyss

To test the 'Stare into the Abyss' bit,
Toroweap Point is a perfect place-
Hang your legs over a volcanic 3,000-foot drop,
And stare anywhere you like.
If you are firm in your commitments,
The Abyss will free you;
If you have low imagination,
The Abyss will drive you away;
If you are a great philosopher, poet, scientist, or musician,
The Abyss will nestle in your heart;
If you have drunk far too much wine,
You will become one with the Abyss.

There Is No Poem I Can Write / That Can Deal With The Threats

There is no poem I can write
That can deal with the threats
To our very existence-
There is no poem I can write
That can imagine the horrors
We might go through-
Nothing I say and nothing I know
Can prepare
For the evils that might come-

We live on the edge of an ‘abyss’
For which ‘abyss’ is a tame word
And we get by each day
By ignoring the ‘hells’ that might come to us-
Evils worse than death may await us
And nothing I say or write
Can contend with this-

By The Ocean (For Dislocated Heart)

I stand by the ocean,
Breathing in the crisp air of night fall,
Watching the moon slipping away,
As the sky melts into the sea;
An endless darkness.
I can feel my mind falling into its depths,
Thinking about every breath I take,
About the world above,
And the world below.
Questions fill my mind,
Questions of life, living, and existence,
Yet still I stand,
Silent and still.
The gentle breeze in the palm trees,
Brushing my hair across my face.
The wind pushes my dress against my legs,
The feeling almost mimicking that of the water.
I can feel the cool spray of the ocean with each wave,
A giant lung breathing the same air as I.
It is a calm entity existing to exist.
A world so unknown and full of wonder,
Yet so simple from above…
I breath a sigh and close my eyes,
The sight of the waves imprinted on my eyelids,
The scent filling my nose and mouth,
The water touching my skin,
The taste of the salt on my tongue,
The repetitive sound of the water endlessly fill my mind.
My feet buried in sand as if to be innocent sand crabs.
A moment so calm and simple,
Yet so meaningful,
If you take the time to experience it,
A moment in which nothing else matters,
Nothing but the water, the sand, and living.
Everything else, like the sky,
Melts away into the sea,
Into the endless dark abyss.
And so I stand,
By the water,
Living and breathing.
If only the world would stop for a moment,
A moment to live and breathe too;
So relaxing and yet so eye opening.
The silence of the night wrapping around me,
The ocean rocking me into sweet oblivion.
Until I have to open my eyes and walk inside,
Back to reality,
But until then,
I'll just stand here,
By the ocean.

Moving In

Im thinking bout moving in,
Commit myself to you, forget where Ive been,
Im thinking thinking bout moving in,
Im thinking bout making my stand,
And I know I could do it,
If you give me your hand,
Im thinking bout making my stand
Making my stand,
You changed my world,
And you stood in my doorway,
You changed my life,
When you stepped into my mind,
Used to think that there was no future before me,
Now you say that I can leave my past behind
Now you say that I can leave my past behind
Behind
Dont understand why you do what you do
You keep giving your love,
We give nothing to you,
You keep giving your love,
We give nothing to you,
Used to think that there was no future before me,
Now you say that I can leave my past behind
Now you say that I can leave my past behind
Behind
Dont understand why you do what you do
You keep giving your love,
We give nothing to you,
You keep giving your love,
We give nothing to you,
Here I am thinking bout moving in,
Making my stand,
Here I am thinking bout moving in,
Making my stand.

Touching Numbers

I was sitting alone at home
thinking about you
wondering what the heck
you were up to.

Are you sitting there alone
thinking about me…
wondering if I was in
someone else's company?

Have you found someone new
to give your affection…
are you stroking each other's palms
considering a connection?

Are you snuggling up close
and kissing him
the same as you kissed me
on my neck and chin?

Is your breathing deep and heavy,
does your heart pound,
are you truly happy now
that I'm not around?

I really hope you're there
thinking about me,
looking at our photographs
on your phone's memory.

Touching numbers, about to call,
thinking of what to say.
Maybe, should we meet up
in our favourite café?

I suppose I'm just a fool
for thinking like this,
dwelling on a lost love
and past happiness.

I have to face it, you're not
thinking of me at all.
A full day has just about gone…
should I make the call?

Revealing My Soul

I stand on the abyss
Wondering what to do
But now I look forward
With no fears do you
Often I stood looking within
Wanting and praying
I will hide all my sins
I watched life go pass
Became a zombie I did
Breathing, moving, but lifeless within
Then suddenly shock
Through the mist and haze
Nightmares and fears
Slowly drifting away
But then a new fear
Hides deep within
Of finding the meaning
Of life’s mysteries
Should I take the first step?
Toward revealing my soul
Just to be picked
By the sinners anew
Picking and eating
Away at my soul
But this time I’m ready
For what happens to me
I take on the world
And all its mysteries

Celebrate

Maurice white, charles stepney & philip bailey
Seasons change, they rearrange
So why cant you and i--say why
Thoughts we find, are so unkind
We often have to cry--but why
Chorus:
Celebrate, change your thoughts to love
Celebrate, what youre thinking of
Time aint long, soon well be moving on,
Moving on...
Natures way for her to say in perfect harmony
Find your place, your past erased
For lifes new destiny.
Chorus:
Celebrate, change your thoughts to love
Celebrate, what youre thinking of
Time aint long, soon well be moving on,
Moving on...

Vermin's Hive

A drone in my ears
Stinging, nibbling creeping
A spectroscopic existence
Do not press,
I will sink.
But if I jump
Let me sink.
Intrusive creepers
Extemporizing pain
Imbecilic brains
Why are you breathing my air?
Why am I amongst the vermin?
I feel squalid
Devoured by pity
Abort existence
Cringe. Fade away.

A Past, A Present and It Seems Dreams

Moments are so tragic;
each to pass from Now
to the indelible Used To Be so quickly;
to pass Out Of Existence.

Even Joy is moment-to-momentary
must be renewed each Now
to avoid its demise into the Used To Be.

Sad goes from my face Now
and is forever preserved and entombed
in the great Has Happened Already-
an Iron, unrelenting destiny.

There is no Un-Sad
which can undo grief
once occurred it sinks
into the
Last Moment's abyss;

it goes instantly into
the Walled-off
never to be retrieved.

How sad.
The Past
happens so soon
and is never reconvened.

Future Yet is so malleable
and promising-
tragic past is forever engraved-
in Soul-Stone.

Now is all we have
and the in-between;
like air
cannot be captured
before it is gone;
happily
or sadly.
leaving us only
with
Future Dreams
which by definition
are not yet real
but which are also
Sustaining
as we moment
through.

So our predicament:
the inaccessible Past
the Fleeting now extinct Now
and the Non-Existent Future;
so exactly where are we
in thinking about this-
well, said the Physicist
we are popping in and out of existence
therefore suffer from Physical Uncertainty
and therefore poof, even this sentence is gone
even before it reaches the period.

Thinking Man's Blues

i was thinking about Jesus
i was thinking about robbing a bank
thinking about the band a playin'
while the Titanic sank
thinking 'bout salvation
thinking about getting free
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?

i was thinking about generations
i was thinking about saving grace
i was thinking about truth and lies
thinking about flesh and lace
thinking about redemption
and rivers running to the sea
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?

i was thinking about the Dharma
'bout Martin Luther King
thinking about Merle Haggard
thinking about James Dean
thinking about the costs of war
about moral depravity
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?

Got To Be Moving On

Sombody told me - there's something better down that way
So don't try to hold me - 'Cos it's all I got to say
Is can't stay
I got to be moving - I got to be moving on
Yeah I got to moving - I got to be moving on
Next time you look around - you may find me gone
I've got to be moving - moving on
Free - nothing can hold me down
What you're loving - is what you found
So don't try to change it
Oh free - I've got to keep moving on
Where ever it takes me - where ever it goes
Somebody told me - there's something better down that way
So don't try to hold me - 'Cos it's all I got to say
Is can't stay
Got to be moving - got to be moving on
Got to be moving - got to be moving on
WHenever you see me - you'll know me by this song
Yeah I - I got to be moving on
Moving on

And She Was

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
Shes making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbors house
Now shes starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was
And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe
Drifting this way and that
Not touching ground at all
Up above the yard
Chorus
She was glad about it... no doubt about it
She isnt sure where shes gone
No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what shes done
And she was
And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
Shes moving out in all directions
Chorus
Joining the world of missing persons (and she was)
Missing enough to feel alright (and she was)

Peace Train

[ cat stevens ]
[ banned from later u.s. copies of in my tribe due to cat stevens agreement to the fatwah issued against salman rushdie ]
Now Ive been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh Ive been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day its going to come
Cos out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again
Now Ive been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train
Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cos its getting nearer, it soon will be with you
Now come and join the living, its not so far from you
And its getting nearer, soon it will all be true
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train, peace train
Now Ive been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why cant we live in bliss
Cos out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now the peace train
Yes peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on, come on, come on
Yes come on peace train
Yes its the peace train
Oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train
Oh peace train

A Friend From Nevada

she got divorced and moving on with her life
for a third husband and she says she is careful now

not about love, because there is none since the first husband
but about money

outsmarted she goes bankrupt and now moving on in another place
las vegas, the city that never sleeps

the insomniac
keeps her accounts intact, from now on she tells herself while
sleeping alone in her new apartment

there shall only be use, abuse, disuse, and uselessness
sad, bad news i suppose

but she's real, her tears are salty and her sobs sounding like
a dog howling at midnight

not looking for another mate but who knows?
she's full time American now, and no one stops her from doing what

could have been, but not yet, she says, can be must be and will be
soonest

Stop, Drop & Roll

Oh, it's six o'clock in the evening
I just wanna be on top with heavy breathing
Oh, baby are ya thinking what I'm thinking
I'll take off your Victoria Secrets
Yes, I just want you to undress
Roll on top, put your hands on my chest
Baby are ya ready for daddy get blessed
Stop, drop and roll with me oh yes
1 - Stop, drop and roll with me
Baby, you know you got me in heat
I'm on fire
Now I know exactly what you're thinking
No, I'm not Dion, one of a psychic friend readers
But boo, I can tell by you moving closer
Puffin the trees, and pouring more mamosa
Baby please don't tease yourself or tease me
Daddy can freak ya completely like E.T.
Check me out, tongue in your mouth
How 'bout some in and out right now
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Everytime I think about your love
I need it
You got me heated
I need some squeezing
You make me shiver with a touch
When we clutch
I'm heating up
Hot for your love
What's his name, lets get to freakin'
There ain't no speakin'
Just heavy breathin'
Don't keep me waiting
Come on lets go
Baby stop and drop and roll
Repeat 1 until fade

Inaudible Melodies

Brushfire fairytales
Itsy bitsy diamond wells
Big fat hurricanes
Yellow bellied given names
Well shortcuts can slow you down
And in the end we're bound
To rebound off of we

Well dust off your thinking caps
Solar powered plastic plants
Pretty pictures of things we ate
We are only what we hate
But in the long run we have found
Silent films are full of sound
Inaudibly free

Slow down everyone
You're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you when
You're moving like that

Inaudible melodies
Serve narrational strategies
Unobtrusive tones
Help to notice nothing but the zone
Of visual relevancy
Frame-lines tell me what to see
Chopping like an axe

Or maybe Eisenstein should just relax
