Synesthesia

(this photo is not actually from AUM Festival, but you get the idea)

Noisy rhythmic cycles
pulse into thick nitescapes
dripping heat
writhing energy,
the ground breathes mystery
and the flies are on fire.
Scry into darkness
vast caverns of mind
soul
body
interpreting dreams
in oceans of sound.
Pure vibrations of the Goddess
escape modern circuitry
penetrate open heart chakras
burn away veils of illusion.
Electric summer heat
liquefies physicality,
crystals form anew under
the weight of our dance.
Our bodies find equilibrium
with cosmic frequencies
bathed in luminescent moonlight
(Y La Luna es muy fuerte!!),
embraced by secret fire.
The spell we weave
opens a universal rift,
energy swirling
burrowing into
once sealed crevices
rising up
igniting every sense,
replacing loss
with infinite gratitude.
With every beat - intensity.
with every tear - humility.
with every smile - vitality.
Bent limbs
stir the cauldron,
casting a powerful spell -
learning to love again.
We are the answer we seek,
the solution we conspire towards -
empowered to create our desire,
transcending boundaries
imposed by earthly flesh
transforming the ether -
shining beings arise!
Dawn opens her eyes to
new hope
new inspiration,
exhaling
raw
potential
unity
power
light
love
peace
embodied in a single tone
Aaaaauuuuummmmmmmmmm.

Out of the Dream, Out of the Night

Dive into the dream

Are you awake?

the edge of the dream

Slinking out of submission
sliding back in
beneath morning heavy fog
clumsily clasping hands with control
releasing into darkness
the exact moment between
awake
and asleep.
Scooping up visionary particles
glass shattering on urban street corner
songs in another tongue
laughter blends into the distant past.
Pieces of the day blurred by
pieces of the night blurred by
peace of my soul,
blurred.
Would you recognize me
in another's clothing?
Taken shape in different form?
What is done,
is undone.
Spinning out of a loop,
effortlessly folding into the dream -
its not mine,
only something I become a part of.
Sweet, joyful insanity
of a caged heart tasting freedom,
as the quiet rage
and numbness
become one.
Unraveling a single thread,
virgin eyes
steal soul glimpses
mistake planes for stars
praise Venus.
Call your own bluff,
make it real.
Forgiving the deceiver
I forgive myself -
we are,
after all,
the same.
For the first time
I feel the honest pulse
of life blood
flowing through me.
I am truth's lost gaze
enchanted by elegant mirrors
reflecting the endless beauty
of Self.
I am the tears of the earth
weeping upon the discovery
of true love.
Walking the lines between spaces,
burning down boundaries
with the flame of new life,
ripe
luscious
inspiration
of a soul on fire,
out of the dream,
out of the night.

Divine Crossroads

magical adventures

Mendocino Woodlands, CA

I am hidden in shadow,
licking the blade of uncertainty.
Slowly slicing away indignant fear,
courageously swallowing eternal doubt-
casting out guilt and shame.

I am the burning pain of Earth,
accepting it as my own.
Soothing old wounds with every intentional breath,
with every inspired song -
healing the Earth whole.

I am unveiling a new dawn,
a threshold of ripe mystery.
Courting the muse with divine droplets of honesty,
with the raw passion of an open heart -
transforming darkness to light.

I am the edge I seek,
a crossroads of divinity.
Exploring the space between spaces,
floating between the worlds-
igniting my soul.

I am activated,
engaging my body in rapturous dance,
focusing my mind with right intent,
opening my heart to divine love -
vibrating the peace of the Goddess.

Cat Scratch Fever

Cat's eye nebula

Elias; 6 point anti-spin

Spinning ancient quagmires into
children's nursery rhymes,
the wonders of the world into
the wonders at your fingertips.
The God within you
the God that is you
calmly acknowledges
the purrrfection of the cosmos.
Staring out of vibrant sun explosions
clouded by stealth subtleties -
timeless portals open between worlds.
Manipulating physical space
into expansive light rays,
bending the universe through skill -
eloquently reclaiming fate.
Assured call and response,
hypothesized,
identified,
labeled,
tested,
proven!!
What mysteries left to unravel?
How to spend Eternity?
Cat scratch fever digs in,
enchanting delirious delights,
extracting fantasy
from certainty -
The sweltering bliss of
well timed cat scratches...
Encyclopedias of intoxication
between crush and first kiss...
Spinal cord burning in
blistering anticipation,
as a lover's lips
sear the soft skin of your neck...
merging in the upside-down dizziness
of hedonistic embrace.
Unbound by mind's eye limitations,
walking with eyes closed
down shadowy pathways
towards unknown destinations.
Stumbling upon answers
to unborn questions -
explore the anti-spin.

Expectorrent

it began with a scream
that would not
could not
fight its way to the surface.
It began with my tongue
pressed relentlessly into
the roof of my mouth.
It began with a slouch
on the premise that
bad posture
somehow
conserves energy.
An evil muppet pitched his tent
in the dark caverns of my chest.
Microcosmic bio-mimicry
as my shining body
imitates the emotional one.
Dali paintings drip across
the backdrop of my eyelids,
as i rotate my head
side to side
the world slides and swirls
in fish bowl delirium.
Fierce tugging at my throat chakra -
ITS being torn from me!!!
Up through the depths
of my once brave lungs.
What is IT?
[i can't decide]
[i'm trapped in a box]
[i'm scared]
[i'm all alone]
[i feel small]
[i don't trust myself]
Clearing my throat of indecision!
letting go
of feeling trapped!!
Calming fear and inadequacy!
Coughing up distrust!!!!
Spitting out doubt!!
Screaming -
a torrent of emotion.
Unclenching my jaw,
relaxing my tongue.
Standing up straight...
Detoxifying my spirit,
purifying my body,
healing mySelf whole again.
Just.
Breathe.
