She who raises eyebrows shoots a glance in your direction
Her lids shine like bright half moons in a beetle-black sky
Her fire-fly eyes burn with an intense predilection
The mysterious you shining right through
That impacts like a freight train
Upon this confused and chaotic brain
I tear through the layers towards the luminous being within
To touch the fluttering soul
Whose beauty and light bathes me
Within its tantric envelope
I suffocate deprived of the wisdom
That hides within those eyes
Another occasional Mona Lisa smile
To guide the way
Ambiguity, hopeless clouds of confusion,
Grief and sorrow
Seem to be this human epitaph
As we walk along a barren and broken path
If we can grasp the hands of reason
Crawl out of this social madness
Then the lunatics will sit back and laugh away their treason.
But I fear like ships in the night
This connection will become
A temporary coincidence
And more often then not,
Will be an unwelcome hindrance
Connect and disconnect
The flame flickers then extinguishes
Amid the happy clownish madcap laughter
As we ride the starry river
Calling to Thoth in his Celestial Boat
To save the child from the earth-ghosts
And remember our connections to the heavens
But we took the wrong step years ago
And now we are lost forever
