    Poetics Of Love and Despair

    About this ebook

    A poetic journey through dark catacombs of despair, betrayal, loneliness and a desperate search for love, enlightenment and divine bliss.

    These poems will take you on a dismal rollercoaster ride through anguish, philosophic frustration, failed love and
    deceived loyalty.

    Explore the existential and ethical values that matter most in life - and consider how we should appraise life when cloaked in conceit, hopelessness, broken meaning and shattered opportunity. How can one still have faith, still love, still endeavour - when the spirit is broken more than once in the dark cataclysms?

    These poems portray deep hurt and spiritual suffering - and to the very end, to the last breath - insist not only on an
    affirmative life view - but even demand we find the strength to laugh and love once more.

    Let beneficence prevail through the darkest trails.

    I bear good tidings! I give you a message of orgasm! A message of pleasure! A message of Sodom!I am a Prophet of a new religion, a new dawn, a new age of delights where you find yourself through your Pleasures. Let your pleasure be your path to your true self - to your Will! And let love and orgasm be what binds us together! Let mutual pleasure be Our Way!To hell with the moral codes of old - they divide us and rule us and leave us blind and deaf! They harm more than help - to whom are they useful but those who love harm and suffering and superstitious ignorance?I write good things - even though I have to say some horrendous things to bring out the truly good. I have already been banned - a fine book of mine has been banned because its carefully selected short stories each bearing a philosophic message that stands on its own and combines with the rest, displeased the censors at Amazon Kindle. They want you to remain blind and deaf! I give you good news! Another way - a new way yet a way that is truly ancient. I bring back the truth.Emancipation! Pleasure! Orgasm!I do not mislead - for I do not even lead. That is not my way. I want you to READ - for yourself, what I write, and take what you Will and use it for your pleasure, and the pleasures of those whom you love (and may you have many lovers!). And if you must - do please curse me and hate me, for still even then I have done good for you. For by cursing me you have chosen some direction - I pray that direction is toward pleasure, knowing thyself, and finding and spreading love and pleasure.The time has come and I will do much! I will WRITE! I will make music, and plays, and films, and many books of philosophy and many stories. I will paint and even do academia.I will love you and offer you love and pleasure - I only want you to find God in Sacred Holy Orgasm.Come, follow me. Walk with me a while. Let us all come together...

      Truth

      In search of the truth

      Look unto, onto, into— that which envelopes it

      Look to darkness, where it can only be concealed

      There seek for light as darkness covers…

      I question its spiritual qualities

      Demonic with innocence, I prevail in transcending

      Passion Tension

      Can you feel the passion pulling your soul in two?

      In peace you enjoy the fruits

      In warfare you battle for the orchards

      7 Delusions [or 7 Ontological Delusions]

      One discovery to the next

      One hope another failure

      One wish grants another lie

      One Will, life’s great lie

      One submission, but suicide

      One subservience, personal suicide

      One more lie to the next

      Arise o hands to the moon

      For coming down the rays it will soon

      Sing an ode to its apogee

      Dance once more from the bondage free…

      Betwixt the trees and betwixt the rocks

      In through and throughout the many flocks

      Dance dear feet to the midday sun

      In estranged joyful madness do

      Sing an ode to the rays bright light

      Prance betwixt the floors do

      For soon ye shall walk these hands

      That the box they carry shall unscrew…

      ~*~

      In the shadow cast by the tree

      Under the moon resting restively

      There you will find me

      Amidst the shadows of the swaying branches

      Through the breeze amidst the leaves

      There you can find me

      My eyes are the midday and the apogee

      My ears the trunks and the branches

      ~*~

      Drink not from your river nor drown

      A clashing cymbal

      A raving ensemble

      Notorious for petty pithy cabal
