JUJUBE (expotentially)

Across thousands & thousands of improbable miles,
out where the uncanniest affinities thrive,
circle within crazy circle where the nautiloid begins,
that spiral unfurling, lucid and deep
in the red rem rock sleep of your best
acoustic dreams, the wild west & there
you are, decked in beefy orange particulates,
your subatomic cherry lips and Shakti-shimmering
aquamarine eyes, binary luster, yes you go
sparkly dayglo girl, your hair honeycombed
and electric in radiant diamond webs
of high amped surpassing happiness
up at the soaring altitude in which you live
in your high energy bee-buzzed freedom
just being you--the epitome of all things: wonderful


***
MAHALO

Diving off the coast of Kailua
in lava-cooled skins among fresh stones,
we weave through black pumice rainbows
and thresher sharks,
taking in the astounding color of corals
underwater beehives
flower rock wormholes
in the pure fluid space of first-time.
Down deep
(and way out), fish pearl
up in their own kind of light,
bioluming well into their
perpetual moonlit kingdoms of midnight,
all angels of dark wetness & intuition,
sensing with small blind eyes
truth as it rises toward a watermelon sun
not felt this far below, but understood
like seawild honey, the magma within.

    :) I've melted into a puddle of love-honey

    "..and all I can do is listen; listening is the definition of love..."
    '..... Ah! A perfect illustration of the poststructuralist paradox. Does the signifier "Merlot" correspond with the 'truth' of the bottle I polished off last night, or do we hold in our thoughts a different "signified" of bottle-of-Merlot-ness? Perhaps we're dreaming of the same bottle!" -FinsburyParkCarrots

    greetings dyaogirl: just this morning I was thinking of the first time I heard "Even flow" which, listening (listening-love) to the car radio....and I imagined

    Even though,
    thoughts arise
    like butterflies.....

    Ok, so two little differences, but a total shake up of possibilities...
    so even though these thoughts keep arising...

    and later, when I saw that "arrive" was the right verb, it altered my perception.

    Ideally, we contain both...both our original interpretation and the truly real.

    wow, so see....thoughts Arise like butterflies....
    the thoughts
    from Within....

    and perhaps then when you say Arrive...is more external, more intrusive, more haunting...and uncontrollable ...maybe why he's chasing them away

    and thinking of non-thinking, haha
    Krishnamurti, etc. and getting that place of glorious
    NON thought...butterfly free...you are the Butterfly

    one cocoon, one chrysalis
    the stillness before and after chasing

    the pure even flow of being: Love

    i still feel like
    the soup
    that is
    before
    the
    butterfly






















    have you ever noticed how LOFTY Soup is NOT.




















    never do you hear the expresssion
    "Soups are free"
  • Not to sound completely idiotic (too late) but did you--looking delicately in cassia's direction--write these?

    I only ask because you quoted Adrien Henri in your last post, and didn't know if these were a collection of his works or anyone else's works or anything like that.

    Regardless of who wrote it, I found myself licking the computer screen to absorb every flavor.

    i feel like

    butterfly* fondue :)


    ~~~

    if you feel like the soup before...

    would that make you primordial soup,

    eh?

    peta: * no actually butterflies were harmed in the melting of the gruyere....

    Glad you cleared that up becuase I always thought it to be "just kidding" or
    "jello koala" or
    "jasmine knuckle" or
    "january kingdom" or
    "jiujitsu karaoke" or
    "jason krueger" if Jason and Freddy got married.

    And on the mountain-pass, the berries' bellies,
    Pregnant with delicious Mayo rain
    Glow under the hedgerow blossom
    Nodding live magic
    to the faery kiss of cassia

    Very nice poems Cassia. You seem truly inspired by nature...in particularily the ocean.
