Faster


Butterflies and inspiration;
incense and perspiration;
intrigue and mystery,
anxiety and ecstasy.

Wonderland is the place to be;
the place to be and to be seen;
a mecca of lost souls,
Soul-Slingers and Dub-Tribes;
glow sticks, pacifiers, Vicks, and beans;
dub plates and templates and vinyl dreams;
to raga and trance and emcees they dance;
they break & trip & roll & flip
through fate or chance or circumstance,
they thrive with pills & baggy pants;
they're pretty but plastic,
disposable and tragic
like party-pups on short leashes
who chasing trails;
teenyboppers drool like Gilbert Grape,
aging fast and dying young
on the battlefield of breakers.
Sweet lyrics whispered softly,
“gentle night, into the sun,
let's go faster, faster now”;
faster and farther,
today won't end
if we never close our minds again.



Deep Every Time, a Treatise on Transcending the
Present-Perfect, An Ideal State

I.
Definition

The Present-Perfect is an Ideal State,
pure, sublime, not man-made nor made for man;
effluvial in Nature, we can't see,
itself trapped, lost in a mystery.

Via chance, depressants, or stimulants,
at times, man elevates to lofty airs;
he catches a glimpse sent by the divine,
of a foreign world, flawless by design.

The Ideal State exists outside of time;
in this condition, man is man no more;
for the majestic, ethereal plane
knows not of time nor of guilt or of shame.

A world of chaos with limited rules;
the Ideal State is free of all matter;
having no properties to recognize,
it's every thing yet hidden to our eyes.

The Present-Perfect, Cosmos' perfect world;
Human Nature, Man's perfect enemy;
ceaselessly suffering [in itself] a mystery,
man's world is filled with pain and misery.

Man's Imagination is essential
when he transcends his natural world;
the Universe and the Man become one,
now part and parcel of a greater sum.

Supernatural, divine by design,
it is a state that we can't understand;
it exists not; so, if man's to be wise,
he must see himself behind his own eyes.

I've a secret about the Universe;
feeling it's greedy to keep it hidden,
this 'ol Bard's decided to share with you
a prophecy that's absolutely true.

With reality left open to close,
Man is left to himself to make a choice;
the prophecy promises timeless joys,
learn'd simply, listening to this voice.

II.
Transcension

In the darkness, when I close all my eyes,
I can see, shining, a thousand bright stars;
my feet are gently resting on a cloud
and my head remains buried underground.

I remember to breathe, then, to smile;
the Ideal State is deep every time;
I see the turning, fallen leaves of grass
reflecting off the sidewalk's broken glass.

Tonight, it's slippery; ice on the streets;
I think graffiti; thunder's in my heart;
I board an invisible cosmic train
and dance a 'lil slow-jive with my brain.

On the edge, I get deep every time;
in these moments, I can taste my heartbeat;
nothing matters when everything's one
in the bestowed moments of transcension.

The science behind this is based on faith;
to the truths at hand, pay close attention;
the secret, nay, the key to transcension
is universal law through the heavens.

Inside floating clouds, sky-bound cumulus,
between symbiotic subatomics;
we feel, caress our seeking hearts,
breaths of eternal deep; transcension starts.

The real world disappears fading away;
a bridge connects the contrasting Natures;
we step slowly from sidewalk to sunbeam
and wander between a cloud and a dream.

To escape the mortal chains that bind us,
Man must Windex his doors of perception;
to visualize this great enigma,
we let shine our radiant charisma.

His secret now shared, the Bard will resign
to his ancient, immortal tapestry;
you possess the power and energy,
the source and the heart, Creativity.

III.
Conclusion

We are kept hidden by Human Nature
from secrets that constantly surround us;
from the darkest depths of lamentation,
our souls seek their emancipation.

Through silent meditation, we find peace;
our minds drift off to a far away place,
eternally gnawing on a free high
and dancing on thy fearful symmetry.

We are granted moments of perfection,
elusive visions of another sphere;
when perception becomes reality,
we are lost in benign finality.

We can put pretty tablets on our tongues,
as we taste the sun and then drink the moon;
chemical stimulation is one way,
to step outside time and escape today.

By grasping the world in a grain of sand,
or by leaving footprints on the ceiling,
or by humbling ourselves and kneeling,
we experience that joyous feeling.

Call me a prophet if I speak the truth;
call me a child if I'm innocent;
paint me Romantic with your gentle brush
as I shake and quiver with every touch.

We can walk on water with balanced grace,
and sojourn the shores of serenity;
Creativity is the guiding light,
all ablaze in the obsidian night.

With lessons learn'd, and the secrets shared,
the Present-Perfect is yours to transcend;
in the Ideal State, it's deep every time,
free yourself of the shackles of your mind.

Capture the spontaneous overflow;
recall emotions from tranquility;
Imagination is the divine key
to transcending our reality.


okay, that's enough for now.
let me know what you think.
or just let it sink in.

Sasha,
I'm still letting it "sink in," as you put it, and I probably will be for some time, but the last couplet gave me quite a lot to think about.

Thank you. As I've said before, it's time the rest of the world learned of your talent.
