SOUL RETURN ++++++++++++++ We do not die - We only change All must die before their rebirth as fruit must rot to release its seed soul transmigration from divinity to the mutable world of birth and disease, old age and death the breeze created by a soul's departure arising from this dead and lifeless shell we emanate from the deceased we do not die only change, only change, you know we do not die only change - you know we only change death is the dying of the light now the imperishable soul begins its journey to the divine implicit and vague become explicit and clear infinitely long passage from another world to our own the winds of a departing soul- the time of now is slipping away we do not die only change, only change. 2. LUNATION +++++++++++ The silent image of a poetic light the crescent moon enhances the blackened night my eyes are bound to the beauty that I see the moon's magnetism - it beckons me pores of my mind rise and fall in lnation lost in a spell entranced in lunar fixation alters the rhythms and the tides of the oceans eclipsing hemispheres of my emotions moon enters in its new phase-governs both the nights and the days bathe in its heavenly rays - strange allure the one that I praise 3. UNFOCUSED ++++++++++++ All my thoughts are unfocused. help me focus the distorted - my conscious span is spun all my thoughts unfocused - a collage of thoughts in my mind help me focus the distorted - conscious span is spun protruding exertion of concentration - perception corruption is my frustration unbearably undecided - undefined and uttered. 4. LUMINOUS (Instrumental) 5. CLOT +++++++ Clot - by my own closed mind poisoned images self imagination - sense of reckoning haluts its gestation attitude and feelings unable to relate the iron barrier my subconscious creates - clot, CLOT, CLOT, microelectric memories solitarily confined preventing new additions to the archives of my mind confrontation of my lobes to bridge the gap where knowledge flows knowing what I thought is hidden from me - confrontation of my lobes to bridge the stream where knowledge flows 6. YONI KUNDA +++++++++++++ Observe sacred form with reverence. Thoughts enthroned with a deep lust for life Serve her sacred form with reverence. Thoughts enthroned with a deep lust for life The womb that mothers the seed of a serpent energy life springs from vagina completely embodied I genuflect before its totemic power. 7. MY ANIMATED TRUTH ++++++++++++++++++++ I exist yet still exist intoxicated with the senses of life an awareness, an example in this world I am god picture mind's eye to stimualte the nuclei I am the god of the inner world, all I see and comprehend is mine visions taken in remain sublime, overcrowded ethics overwhelm - Welcome to my animated truth. Picture of a world of imagination, physical world is just interpretation. Reconstruct myself. Dreamscape. Imagine images of your imagination. 8. GARDEN OF EROTICISM ++++++++++++++++++++++ Through the abundant life your ability release my infidelity swollen ovaries of temptation shall I dare submerge myself with obsession ? trapped by lust, nudity an obscenity shading its darkness with light fooled, I am drawn toward the gate of jade garden gates forever trap me, forever to tend her fields rewarded with the fruits of life take another bite, fate seizes me I am punished by my loyalty to her desire garden of eroticism hemaphrodelia punished by my loyalty to her salocrophobia - testostrodelia. 9. CLOSED CHAPTER +++++++++++++++++ Situated in the present alive in the moment of now separated from attachment - gone but not forgotten what is meant to be inevitably will be, destiny a force rather than an outcome of events my point of change is on the horizon, what brought it together now took it away chapters open, chapters close, opportunities rise and fall like an everlasting circle My memory still plays the events Affection is a state of mind. My mind is altered. Emptiness is eventually filled, The universe unfolds - things shall be as they are. Although I often deviate I always return to me. Many paths are marked for us
