Astropoppin in Poetry & Free Verse

Observe

I prepare to turn corners

By pressing my Burner

Back against the wall;

Peering my tall

Gaze around, like a spy.

Half the time, someone’s flying by;

Not paying attention,

So I listen,

Watch the ways

Of man’s egoist haze.

I slow my pace,

Slink around the place,

Inhabiting unobtrusive space.

Patience slows me,

Avoids their cacophany.

My tongue speaks less,

and less.

Missing My Man

Tired joints lead me to bed
Curl up on the side where you lay your head.
You are not here,
which is still queer.

Boy, I want to hold you
Dive into your soul.
We miss you; we’ll be strong
while you are gone.

Puff on a roach
Toke a pipe
Maybe feel something
-other than this.

Home is boring without you.
Nights are for loving.

Haikus

I. 
Never enough time
This moment is beautiful
Be wise, be thankful

II. 
In bed all day - oops
Where am I going with this?
Guess this is the end.

III.
Hold tongue, pine for peace
Forego pride; favor ideal
Prioritize goals.

Seek inspiration

Bask

Bathed by music

Let it in

Crescendo

Best option is to listen

Melody will lead you on

Unfold

Go forth

Naturally

Trust the beat,

Follow the flow

There is a grand plan

Stretching further

Than the space you stand

Affecting generations of land

Where have you been

Since we last sinned

By now you must be kin

I hug you, dear friend

Embrace your weary skin

Sink

Breathe deep

Delve within

My aura

I will never know

What your soul has seen

Where your skin has been

I’ve been there, too

Best of moments belong to you,

alone

When you return,

I’ll welcome you home

Flee your comforts

Too well, they fit

Let yourself be enamored

Life looks best

Away from the glamor

Seek fears

Wear campfire smoke

I fall in love with women

Then I value her

Want to protect her

Exalt her

-then

Rarely extend

sensual air Her way

I become solace

Within the torrent

of sexual advance.

Fuck, yeah, I’d love to undress & caress Her

Invent new purrs

Yet I understand

The weight of

Wearing

her Fur

My bones host demons

We are not friends.

Perhaps they’re dormant;

I smothered them,

They’ll never win.

If they ever claw out:

I’ll bleed black,

Leak ink:

Shed their rage

Upon a page.

Dear Jailbird

Here, I stand

Saving my beloved man

There’s always hope

But of how great a scope?

I let him slide astray

If only we’d done different, that day.

How much of this is my fault?

Shouldn’t have let him default.

Hold loved ones accountable

Avoid trials insurmountable.

Dear, jailbird, I want you to stay

I fear that they’ll take you away.

46&2

Ground the self
Seek depth
Feet sink into dirt
Each day, we rebirth
Seek joy, spread mirth

Digging in the Earth
Pulling up roots
the fruits
of mental meandering
the loot
of wordly wandering
Traveling far and wide 
unraveling my insides.

Meet the inner me
Elevate humanity
Engage in mental alchemy.
With consciousness ascension
Let’s transcend the third dimension.

Answers on 
horizons of beyond.
Fears to be chased,
and strangeness embraced. 
Sacred geometry
Spelling ideas to me.

I will look
in books.
I will listen
to the wind.

Wake to rainy day

Welcome the calm atmosphere

We'll see what happens

Roll to the spot

Park in the lot

The rear entrance is where

One finds narrow, metal stairs.

A bar above the pizzeria

You'd have to believe in it to see it.

Who's behind the orange door?

Every night's a unique story.

The gods and goddesses slink out to play

They know it's Baby Sativa's Special Day.

Face veiled,

Setting scale:

She's toe to head in black,

Moon symbols 'round her neck.

Friends surround,

& blow abounds.

When we once again go separate ways

Our hearts will recall this day.

Stronger connections, as through the years

We're still friends and sharing beers.
