You

[~K]

you stacked the deck
& threw the cards

away

you visit
stained glass
windows
to pitch
your rock through

you rubbed the lamp
& wished
to forget it all

the worst thing
in the world
can be overcome
one way
if not
several

& maybe I am
right there
waiting
where you left me

you left me

& I don't care
that I don't care
of course
I'm lost
I cut
the anchor
&
gave away
my crown

for
what
I'll never know

[abstroint]

Between chaotic moments
I know nothing other than
In this silence
I’m anchored to visions

Seeing you
Not again
As we were nothing
To seeing you
As I did
In the heat of chaos
You
Sweating glass of water
Quenching my thirst
There was nothing replenishing movement
Drained
You
Were the thunderous roar and striking light
In between
The darkest hours
After silence begged for storms
You
Remind me
You can not return to where you’ve never been

She will not let you see more than this:
Add spark, to flame, and
Paper dolls burn to ash
Reality forces disbursement
In the next high winds
She will not let you see more than nothing
But You
Remind me
You can not return
Even in dreams on the next high wind
Crying would be for nothing
You can not return to where you’ve never been

What of simply passing by the door that only gives glimpses of its potential and heading in a direction that may not be as wondrous but shines dim a constant soothing light?

Fuck the drama
Queen
And the thorny fucking crown
The tease of royal perfection can only ever be an irritant
I am irritated and close to slapping you down as if you were a loud fly
Circling every peaceful moment I’ve had since…

[Ann Bingham]

I like the contrast I see in this..stack the cards to lose instead of to win. breaking stained glass windows instead of seeing the peace, and rubbing the lamp to forget rather then to gain good luck. I really like this one.


love lots
Deb.

[WIREMAN]

the rub never does produce that Genie............

[~K]

Thanks Deb! I love how clearly you saw it.

WIREMAN~ Are you sure about that!?

Cindy~ (!)

between us
the spectrum
sifts through
all that's left
of You
& Me
& all that never was
will be & is & is
&
Is not
a margin
set to flare against
to raise the non-existence stakes

I would also remind you
you can't return to where
you've never left

but

I know you know we know


as you would slap her down
you'd help her up
& reinvent her wings

irritation is pure motivation
it's what your here for
after all

[Perdida]

"you rubbed the lamp
& wished
to forget it all "

If only it was that easy...

Nice work ~K
a pleasure to read you....

Stakes are:

Brittleness torn bitter holes in
Black leather wings once soared where
Eloquence harbors secrets and lies
Accusations and symbols trip on fear and carry
Holes on sleeves the
Ace of Hearts underneath
Damage acquired before, the eye of my hurricane studied
Unbalanced glides on storm cells
Crushed her
Cracked her
Wrapped her head around debasing projections of repeated
Tortures her soul to force payment for sins never to be committed
Reinvention’s completion rest on the width of recipients shoulders
Age can spread space wider, more open, with wisdom
As of today there is no calculation to gauge individuals
True depth without receiving acceptance
Is crushed
And cracked
It’s wrapped around debasing projections repeating
I might have screamed again yesterday
DELETE THE IMAGE though only shown results will
Will acceptance unseen when birds hop into caves for broken wings and
Fears songs harmonize hypnotic fleeing for hidden
Intriguing
Healers, healed
Still waters school, with vibrant colored fish unseen
But for divers lights shown in caves and
Camera’s eyes recording, surfacing press play and
Repeat to breath, to soar on wings

Reinvented

[~K]

You slide across galactic hours
with wormholes on Your tongue
You pierce the wound with
an ocean's worth of salt

while I
fall down so far
I do Charles Dodgson proud

let this be
a lesson
for Us all
Newton was
an idiot

& You & I
are less today
then before
We met

if that

[abstroint]

You are not concentrating
I’m over your head
Replying to that request
Requires back stepping

Holes bit in my tongue
Healed when you were
Trying harder than you
Ever had not to
Peek under my robe

Injured creatures hide
Even from healers
Birds will hop away

[~K]

you have always been
beyond
my concentration

forgive me if you will

I'll still be sorry

[abstroint]

ok i had to consult the tarot to respond
question: how might i respond to that?

answer:

People are afraid, very much afraid of those who know themselves. They have a certain power, a certain aura and a certain magnetism, a charisma that can take out alive, young people from the traditional imprisonment....

The enlightened man cannot be enslaved - that is the difficulty - and he cannot be imprisoned.... Every genius who has known something of the inner is bound to be a little difficult to be absorbed; he is going to be an upsetting force. The masses don't want to be disturbed, even though they may be in misery; they are in misery, but they are accustomed to the misery. And anybody who is not miserable looks like a stranger.

The enlightened man is the greatest stranger in the world; he does not seem to belong to anybody. No organization confines him, no community, no society, no nation.

Osho The Zen Manifesto: Freedom from Oneself Chapter 9



Commentary:

The powerful and authoritative figure in this card is clearly the master of his own destiny. On his shoulder is an emblem of the sun, and the torch he holds in his right hand symbolizes the light of his own hard-won truth.

Whether he is wealthy or poor, the Rebel is really an emperor because he has broken the chains of society's repressive conditioning and opinions. He has formed himself by embracing all the colors of the rainbow, emerging from the dark and formless roots of his unconscious past and growing wings to fly into the sky. His very way of being is rebellious - not because he is fighting against anybody or anything, but because he has discovered his own true nature and is determined to live in accordance with it. The eagle is his spirit animal, a messenger between earth and sky.

The Rebel challenges us to be courageous enough to take responsibility for who we are and to live our truth.

Osho Zen Tarot
24. Sharing


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Sharing


As you move above to the fourth center - that is the heart - your whole life becomes a sharing of love. The third center has created the abundance of love. By reaching to the third center in meditation, you have become so overflowing with love, with compassion, and you want to share. It happens at the fourth center, the heart.

That's why even in the ordinary world people think love comes out of the heart. For them it is just hearsay, they have heard it; they don't know it because they have never reached to their heart. But the meditator finally reaches to the heart. As he has reached to the center of his being - the third center - suddenly an explosion of love and compassion and joy and blissfulness and benediction has arisen in him with such a force that it hits his heart and opens the heart. The heart is just in the middle of all your seven centers - three centers below, three centers above. You have come exactly to the middle.

Osho The Search: Talks on the Ten Bulls of Zen Chapter2



Commentary:

The Queen of Fire is so rich, so much a queen, that she can afford to give. It doesn't even occur to her to take inventories or to put something aside for later. She dispenses her treasures without limits, welcoming all and sundry to partake of the abundance, fertility and light that surrounds her.

When you draw this card, it suggests that you too are in a situation where you have an opportunity to share your love, your joy and your laughter. And in sharing, you find that you feel even more full.

There is no need to go anywhere or to make any special effort. You find that you can enjoy sensuality without possessiveness or attachment, can give birth to a child or to a new project with an equal sense of creativity fulfilled.

Everything around you seems to be "coming together" now. Enjoy it, ground yourself in it, and let the abundance in you and around you overflow.
