Flame and Flow
I’ve been searching low and high,
Looking deep for answers why
I must live in this lifetime.
These answers have been with me the whole time.
I’m Alive.
Living and learning lessons,
Every day brings a series of challenges.
Rise, Dragon, rise—it’s your time to shine.
Come play in this world; choose your design.
No need to walk around in fear.
Yes, the game’s unfair,
But only if you see it
Before losing your scales.
Over your eyes—who wants the sight?
Who dares to see the rawness of life?
I’ve been all the way to the left,
And back to the right.
Now I’m sitting in the center,
Exercising my third eye.
Levitating in another form of existence.
To my Evil, I choose resistance.
I swallow my pride and use it as a sword,
Protecting the purity within my heart.
I’m a child—
A child of the Light,
Formed in the darkness,
Revealed at night.
One with the rhythm; one with the sound.
What’s above reflects what’s on the ground.
I’ve showered in the woes of my regrets,
Hid behind smiles to deflect my secrets.
Now I have no shame—I dance in the open,
Carried by the memories of facing my demons,
Capturing them and blessing them with atonement.
My brain is no longer tasked with guiding this excursion.
I told it to sit back, relax, and focus on observing.
To cure its anxiety, I gave it one purpose:
Let the Heart lead—the Heart is strong again,
Fully resurfaced.
The Soul is the Flow, keeping my existence in motion.
I am the Stillness of the Mountain
And the Electricity in the Ocean.
Plant me in your garden—witness harmony.
Put me in your space; I’ll be your sustaining flame.
I am the Air—let’s breathe:
Inhale. Exhale. Let’s be free.
Free to love. Free to joy. Free to peace.
Free to explore. Free to dance. Free to be.
Run with the wind.
In the fields, I spin.
The fragrance of flowers—I take it in.
Free of possession, surrounded by friends.
You can’t convince me Heaven doesn’t exist.
I’m experiencing it now—I have it within.
I release it into the atmosphere.
To those who desire a taste—take it in.
When I was young, the Devil killed me
And cast me into a cell within.
This whole time, I thought I was crazy,
But really, I was fighting to be here.
It tried to drown me with darkness and fear.
Then I became angry—
Fighting against the Dark,
Even though it wasn’t designed to harm me.
I made peace with the Darkness;
It taught me to use my Light.
I used my Light to see beauty within the Darkness
And discovered the will of my might.
I revived the Child Within
And reversed my Enemy’s plight.
Yes!
I’m not living to prove an ideology.
I feel good within—I don’t need earthly glory.
I just want to further the journey.
I’m beyond the status and money.
Being Human is my exercise.
The real me is a Dragon,
And I’m searching for my family.
Together, we create expensive magic.
High-powered creative imagination.
Don’t get lost in the words—
Feel the vibrations.
Learn to enjoy the Matrix.
Live out your missions.
You have the ability to make it happen!
You are a Genius—why are you wishing?
To the Lamp—don’t be a captive.
Don’t embrace the Treacherous Gold.
There is so much more to be told.
But the Truth is beyond spoken language.
In Truth, there is no confusion.
We live in an illusion,
While our True Self is diluted.
We go round and round on this contraption
Until we are ready for ejection.
Till then, we reject being Accepted,
Clinging to all that has Happened.
It’s maddening—
Yet, we choose it until we don’t.
There is no disease, though we entertain a cure.
It’s all entertainment—
How long will you have fun?
Echoes of the Sun
Never thought I’d make it this far.
I only put twenty dollars worth of gas in the car.
That car is rubble now,
Rusted away in some forgotten junkyard—
But I can still hear its engine
Roaring inside the memories of my heart.
I named it Spirit, an extension of myself.
I thought I’d die with it.
But now I see it existed to help—
To forge me into a man
Who moved beyond a stagnant mindset,
One that would’ve enslaved me to
Prove I was the shit…
While secretly feeling like shit,
Trapped in bullshit
I didn’t even find interesting.
Rejecting passion opens the door to anything.
This whole setup was designed to emphasize:
Establish your boundaries.
(Pause)
Let’s move on.
I’ve met people who couldn’t recognize my shine.
They caught a glimmer of it,
Assumed I was far behind.
Little did they know,
I’d already climbed a few mountains.
You just caught me when I was tired.
But inside burns a fire,
So hot it’s often confused with Satan’s.
Yet, if they listened to my explanation,
They’d see I’m more like Neo in the Matrix,
Bearing the weight of hope
While fighting in a war
I barely understand.
At least I’ve found more to do
Than feel numb and dried up.
Now I’m vibrant—
Balance Universal, illuminated.
And if the Sun disappeared today,
I’ve absorbed enough of its rays
To keep the world from freezing.
But I know you’ll reject me,
Preferring to bask in what I provide
Rather than become light with me.
You’d rather someone else
Face the dark.
Eventually, you’ll forsake what I give
And curse me in your heart—
Then with your words.
But my love will melt your insults.
Though I’m far away,
I remain in view.
I can’t see you, but I wait.
One day, you’ll journey to me.
Together, we’ll be free.
I cherish every step you take
Toward your dream.
And when you achieve it,
You’ll realize—it lasts for eternity.
Ashes to Astral
Never felt better—
Better pull the lever,
Levels to my clever,
Cleaving to whatever,
Feathers meant to weather
The cloudiness in my grey matter.
Matter of fact, I gather gravel
From the garden of captured minds—
Blinded by the shine of vanity’s intricate designs.
I place it under careful observation,
Hoping to eliminate the divides
Kept alive by programs installed in our minds.
Ahhh, feel it now.
What is the offense?
Separate the people before they see the need for defense.
I’m convinced the foolishness was meant
To keep us distant.
Together we see better; apart, we’re imperfect.
Completion—
I need this.
The reason being:
I see a way to dispel this situation
We embraced out of convenience.
Say yes to the poetry, bringing energy,
Hoping to establish imagery—
Pushing past frequencies,
Agitating you to be
An object chasing ideas,
Recreated again,
And again,
And again…
Astral projection leaps me from the frame
Of my avatar.
Out-of-body bliss,
Peace within,
Fueled by a desire
Beyond career paths designed to limit me.
Each burst of energy rebirths me,
Warping the flow of my concentration.
Meditation invades the war games
Raging within my brain—
Schemes transforming pain
Into seeds of shame
Planted in the garden
Of weekly entertain-ment.
But this energy
Will no longer be contained.
Ahhh, I’m flaming.
Rose from my ashes
To be re-established
Within the purpose of my divinity.
I slipped the grasp of the enemy
I created to keep pretending
That the birth of my flesh
Was my true beginning.
I relinquish myself
From earthly presence—
No need for a hero or villain.
Paradise is yours.
Now design it. Live it.
Enjoy your will.
Through the Matrix
Running off of fumes,
Anticipating the big boom—
Projecting amazing things into my future,
As I create worlds within,
To spin
On my finger—
Curious if you will grin.
You are my sanctuary.
In your eyes, my heart is cleansed.
With you, every day is a win.
No need to pretend—
Realness is the fabric we’re clothed in.
Let’s keep this in motion.
Your thoughts are the ocean
I long to be immersed in.
Merman,
I sing melodies with the dolphins,
Surfing
Through the channels of conversation.
You found me in the Matrix—
And freed me.
