Cloister Garth a Bar (new poems)

 Focus on a place
 here is a better focus
 all encompassing 
- on meditation

 She beyond herself
 branches and flowers show it
 extends toward light
- All of those poems were for you

 Drawn toward from psychic's vision
 some gravity is a lover's magnet
 a treat in rare form
 - I don't have your number

 Form combination 
 broken down ingredients
 combination lock
 - on all things becoming equal

 This heavenly feel
 powerful loving river
 full cup, lots to eat

 Universal pull
 look for a relic so drawn
 tourmaline Buddha

 Quiet and quickly
 something like the opposite
 or like energy
 - similarity in opposites

 Love behind your mask
 this hopeless man is starving
 connection saves him
 - on cruelty and love

 Sleepless on the eve
 exhaustion for Ramadan
 holy state of mind
 - celebrations Eve

 Glimmer in the Darkness
 pink lemonade shadowless
 quartz ghost antenna

 A message within
 every hollow Buddha statue
 he walking statue
 - Buddhism's hidden truth

 A bird can't break seeds
 it can open dried out seeds
 it can't cut down trees
 - vulnerability in transition

 Dry winter mittens
 love flourishes good old days
 between disasters
 - reminiscing in autumn

 Harnessed touch
 throw the yolk
 bodiless
 - meditative practice

 Write by candlelight
 inky Shadows Mark the page
 pencil placebo
 - who wrote this?

 Time for catharsis and movement 
 top heavy poetry
 smashes below
 - gravity even pulls poetry down

 Fear instilled
 for you
 to be safe

 Holder of Ember
 she who couldn't not hold it
 your purpose summoned
 - on why you're here

 Caught embedded fear
 does that fool slave beyond pay?
 united movement

 Fear doesn't survive in love
 we're alive in the Darkness

 Becoming formless
 bodies in life drift away
 gravity pulls them
 - on the most integral natural law 

Sing a temporal song
initiate overcomes
They the remained songs 
- On transmission of light 

FOR AGAINST POEMS

 Within transmission
 transmission only exists
 this experience
 - on transmission of light

 This is who I am
 power in self-expression
 strength carried that weight 
 - On a friend's journey and her realizations through trauma therapy

 August keeps you up
 follow Your Shadow out here
 is this just your dream?
 - on my daughter's midnight visits while I meditate and write

 Parallel to yours
 most everything is askew
 something's not right
 - on a dreams trance

 Compare me with reality
 he fucked up his haiku
 and left you counting

 Stretch
 yoga
 mat

 Where are you going?
 the force meets the forceless thing
 forceless is formless
 - the wandering Monk

 Destructive species
 hidden chamber of the heart
 the will to disrupt
 - on the quirky human

 Half empty refill
 my heart was at half empty
 fill my glass and heart
 - on drinking with good friends

 tap tap tap tap tap
 tap tap tap tap tap tap tap
 I paint like Bob Ross

 Where is the river?
 it's full of poison fish
 I'll follow you there
 - on the pursuit of Buddhism, the observation of thought, and Zen understanding without directions

 Cork in the bottle
 let's pull it out together
 the bottle of good
 - on releasing self from self

 Swoop in the garden
 come over here and drink friend
 cloister Garth a bar
 - on a visiting hummingbird

 Where's inspiration?
 your desires don't exist
 look for them inside
 - on finding your muse through meditation
