In a galaxy so far away
renewed
and what you’ve done
you do
you do
and the lie
they told to you
is true
It’s true
It’s true

The soul it flew
to you
The suns it travelled past
it knew
On its way
Alone
On its way
Alone
The sorry dreams from long ago
and future to
The silence
on its way
alone

A dog lies across a grave
in memory of you
the lies they told
a clue
a clue

DMT

Swirling
Falling
Pulled
blurring
Color pixelating
I am falling
and sucked through a tube
Disintegrating
Disapppearing
No longer here
not even a memory
Just magnificent
Lost in peace
yet integrated
and part
of some alien whole
This is not a dream
I am not
A robot

When the waves crash  
in the darkness,  
and the current  
runs hard for the shore,  

I can see you  
through the ether,  
from the sunset  
over water.  

And while you’re sleeping,  
I am keeping  
guard, outside your window.

54. Sadness Is a Robot Outside Your Window

I was drinking

to stop thinking,

life was sinking

before I came here.

I forgave your lies,

I was trying

to stop dying

near your window.

Colder than hot—

Forget I cannot.

I’m a robot

outside your window.

So tired now
Dying
A ghost is calling
From the mountain
From the beginning
Contradict the priest
No more decisions
From within the trees
For the last time
Look at my eyes
I am dying
Back into life
Where death festers
In the windy night
Back to the first time
We’ve been here before

An anonymous life

I am a violin
delirium
breathing
wanting
wishing
complaining
calling
fading
falling
swaying
I am
dizzy
disappearing
disappearing

Here we go
standing there
Sun burnt out
Moon dry as bone
I can hear
the crying
I see you
anxious
Sea is heavy
Darkness just softness

There you went
It’s all a cycle
Of time before
in the future
no adventure
no expedition
just a story
Flickered pictures
of people anxious
living and dying

I look into
the night
crying
lost memories
of things I did not
and cannot know
flickering
Why am I weeping?

In a dream
I saw you
feelings
not new
lost lights
no longer
flickering
Why am I weeping?

#poetry#poem

Far far away
a long lost life
light a time traveller
and time a light traveler
the faster I go
the past disintegrates
and my body with it
and my mind

soul I knew you
sometime in this life
always calling me
quietly
waiting
outside inside
seemed a big decision
not the first time
never mine

Summer night
out of sight.
Ocean light,
somewhere somehow
in spaces,
torn from the womb.
Souls ride waves
forming the tunnels,
that lead back in time
that take you backwards
through mirrors.
Life is calling
from that which
died.
Not the first time.

From the nothing
senses cannot see,
may exist
the smallest things
and only there
when we look
yet exist
in some other part of space,
simultaneously.

If you open the door,
there are things
we can’t foresee.

the ocean,
the moon,
stars by the trillion,
and life—
a DNA amalgam,
gravity and entropy.

The soul it flew
to you
The suns it travelled past
it knew
On its way
Alone
On its way
Alone

The sorry dreams from long ago
and future to
The silence
on its way
alone

In a galaxy so far away
renewed
and what you’ve done
you do
you do

and the lie
they told to you
is true
It’s true

When summer fades
and nothing felt
and seen is true
When the stars
are twinkling
know
time is never blue

Wattle blossom
Green and yellow
The mist
Blankets the hill
and beyond
All the things
you thought
you knew
Time is never blue
Time is never blue

The train passes overhead
The wind it blows your hair
The ocean waves are bending
The froth rises in the air

Time is falling
Like the waves like the leaves
My heart is floating
I want to live amongst the trees

Waves
rise up and
fall down
all we see and hear
and cannot
all that’s been
and not yet gone

I’m here and I’m not
You’re there and you’re not
always were
before time forgot

Within us and
without us
tiniest things spin and shake
even darkness and time
contract and dilate
in waves

Souls flying
like kites
through days
through nights

Release me
sifting mind
fear and sadness
never kind

I am
what you are
and what you’re not
I am you are
I am you are the robot

Waves of thoughts
flowing through me
flowing through you

in the sunshine
in the moonlight
In the darkness
In the nothing

I catch so few
some are hooked
some recorded
most lost in eternity

where did they come from
where do they go
circulating
through the cosmos
cosmic chatter
incessant natter

Robot Thinking

I’m a receiver
not a conceiver
I lie here
as a robot
made from metal
time forgot

Waves flowing
rushing washing
through me
through you

I’m a receiver
I’m a robot
you’re not

I’m a robot
in the ground
and outside
your window

Robot no 14

Isn’t it strange
how they want you
how they need you
how they bleed you
what they feed you

but here’s reality
to them your expendable
it’s their pattern
it’s their battle
it’s their moving pictures

down a funnel
space bending
into nothing
embrace suffering
falling

If only more cowards

the battlefield is empty
the night is done
the trees are still burning
everyone’s gone

if only there were more cowards
who ran away free
fear has it’s purpose
and helped rescue me

every lie written,
recorded and said
was concocted by ego
truth lies with the dead

Souls flying
like kites
through days
through nights

Release me
sifting mind
fear and sadness
never kind

I am
what you are
and what you’re not
I am you are
I am you are the robot

# Elonmusk

when you’re at the window
Robot on the other side
looking like the sadness
coming from within

your heart pulsing
like an old note
from a piano beating

and there’s no one
but the robot frozen
and there’s nothing
on the other side

it’s time now
to return to green
It’s time now
to return to green

Surf sounds like
relentless thunder
behind the lake
below the moon
shining like a giant torch

old tired aching
weakness echoing
through my being
I can feel my heart beating
it’s easier when
there’s no one

I can see
the green
I return to green
nothing but green

Robot Dreams

Dark skies
Nearly black
Lost your way
Lost the track
Lost your friends
Lost your pack

Hush old man
Don’t make a sound
Let your head
Rest on the ground

Take the star dust
From the sky
Things unborn
Can never die

Drunken mind
broken heart
You can’t finish
Before you start
#poetry

Sadness comes to me
with regular
unpredictability
my eyes
heavy and hard
deep dark fog
rolling through
all that I see

thoughts eroding
some I remember
some I forget
a scared landscape
chasms of anger
chasms of regret

I don’t dream
like you do
and yet
I am you

#poetry

Sadness
So cathartic
Sadness is a robot
Outside my window

you’re a robot
In a coma
Outside
In the forest
Outside
My window
You’re a robot

What is life?
What is death?
Who are you?
Robot?
In a coma
Broken

While I die
So slowly
And live
So slowly
You’re a robot
You’re a robot
