03/12/25 A New Poem for A New Day

The complete
Psychedelic scientific experience
Of falling
In love

Blast from the Past:

Take my hand, my love
The winds of age may howl
But soon we’ll be home

You
Said
You could
You could say you would
Could you

Blast from the Past:

It’s another day,
Another battle. All I
Want is a ceasefire.

I saw you
Walk away
Forever

Today I tried out a new form of poem: a reverse haynaku.

Blast from the Past:

Once we were so close
Will you only ever be
Someone I once knew

Life is growth, so if
We’re not growing together,
We’re growing apart

Blast from the Past:

Grow what is working,
And then improve what is not.
Iterative process.

Love is life itself
Beauty is what love produces
Harmony is love’s process*

Blast from the Past:

Loved by a dog in
A concentration camp.
It saw my humanity
That other people could not.

*Based on the philosophy/theology of Inayat Khan (see https://youtu.be/lal6rf5HhiY?si=2JxjAJcy5lpkcReh)

I will go with you
To hell, if I can make it
Less hellish for you

Blast from the Past:

Walking down the street
Arms’ locked together, rinsing
Each other’s shadows

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Comradery
Performing innovative work
Just forgot to have it help anybody

Blast from the Past:

Will anyone read what I wrote?
Anyone who reads it
Will see it as a new piece
From what I put into it,
Including a future me.

Wounded, sad, angry,
Unheard, dismissed, ignored,
Mourning, yet resolved

Blast from the Past:

Favored yet confined
Peaceful yet surrendering
Hopeful yet watchful

There isn’t a reason
To hate me the way you do.
Just punch it out now.

Blast from the Past:

When a bear attacks
A wolverine, it’s often
The bear that gets hurt

I lost track of your
Bright golden star underneath
My clouds of ink.

Blast from the Past:

Love to hate? Or was
It hate to love? Given
Conflicting interests
