“I want to taste your love”

I want to taste your love
As together we become one
In the warmth and security
Of each other’s arms and bodies.

While two days will be eternal to us
We shall experience all in total.

All will end, but only in time’s scope,
For it will remain forever in our hearts
And minds as we pass beyond time.

Paths II, iii
```
In His name, worshipping
Idols of mortal man,
We blindly march to war
Creating hell on earth
For faceless enemies
We’ve never seen before.

To you I send this time.

Prairie Cleansing

Angers away  Eastward
             Floating
Heavy cluttered mind
Baggage cast aside
	
Lakes   mountains   trees
Gone        Forgotten
Blind traveling folded
Into Saskatchewan sun
Rising over fence lines
Touching blue domed sky

Through Pisces to Aquarius VIII

       VIII
The door closed to his apartment,
After we shook hands as before;
Yet despite all the small talk shared,
I knew that I had said little
To help him understand my world.
One day I’ll return to visit
This dark city that knows no night,
And attempt to communicate
Thoughts beyond the glass reflections
That surround this skyscraping world.

Bird or Dog
```
For years we have acted
And been treated like—
Dogs.

We are as free
As the soaring eagle;
As active as a 
Hummingbird,
Yet we wallow in the mud
Of our own making, like
Hogs.

Epiphany on the Palouse – E. Education

While doing research for my new book,
THE METEORIC RISE
OF THE THIRD RIGHT SANS GRAVITY,
Subtitled, “The Magma Farta
Of the Third Millennium,”
I had to acknowledge that Rush
Must be right:  Millions and millions
Of lemmings can’t all be wrong headed
Wrong headed.

The River of Forgetfulness

Leave all earthly belongings here,
On this still familiar shore,
And nakedly step into the water.
The River of Forgetfulness
Will permanently wash away
All your acquired prejudice;
Releasing worn out opinion
And popular cancerous thought.

“The tree in the seed”
```
The tree in the seed
Knows its full maturity
As our Cosmic Self

Knows its Immortality
In the zero of silence
