Who Gives Kudos:


Saturday, May 13, 2006 

I refuse to be seen by mortals
Trading dreams for seams of a badly fitted perception.
So wrap me with the night,
That my flight may go unnoticed
By terrestrial beings who only see matter
Radiating light.

Mine is a cloak of darkness
Devoid of all historical connotations.
For as man evolved
beyond the superficial elements of flesh,
some wouldnt believe and stumbled the earth
with open eyes rolled back in their sockets.
Forgetting that the (pupil) is such,
In learning to see beyond itself.

Those who saw the light embraced the darkness.
And the mysteries of the unseen.
Now they have surrendered
And prostrate themselves to the will of the universe.

Led by the darkness
That guides the stars.
Planets seldom use torch lights
To navigate the sun.

Dude you are too deep... Is there a tinge or quantum reality seeping through these lines? I'd like to think so... Inspires me to put my poems up on this thing... Never got to say it, but thanks for the offer of doing gigs regardless of funds - its good to know some folks still get the point of why we do what we do.

May have a free gig @ the Spitz soon. Will tx or bell you about it.

Stay up!

Peas, Ras................................................................................................................

Ps: what the hell is 'kudos'? I gave 2...
