Now

Golden is the moment
creeping like the dawn
drifting on the solar tides
bursting with delightful promise
ecstatic collision of Trinity
through the looking glass I fall
shadow so bright I weep
lost in phantom agony
other places, traces, times
patterns of insecurity
laid bare to land or sky
Finally I forget myself
lost in the rapture of no time
Now time we time
No clock hand ever touched
the endless summer can not be caught
only relaxed into

Libra Monkey

Dreaming in slow motion, dripping with desire.
The thrumming of my pulse providing counter point
Erratic spasms of joy convulse my soul
Paranoid delusion of self deprecation my blanky
Safe harbor for the wounded mind
Balm of the deranged applied like armor
Hiding in plain sight of insanity
Basking in it's glow, shadow covers light
Obligation of Lie, Truth made flesh
Libra, Monkey hiding the balance
Scale of retribution, measure of forbearance
Children of any age, heed the sirens call
Song of ages past, echo from the future
Flower of forgiveness, Rosies cross as burden
The cycles have aligned
Cornerstone of eternity exposed for all to see
Madness inspired delight
Petals yet unformed falling from the trees
The Dragons have returned

Nobody Knows

Laughing through my drying tears
Looking back on wasted fears
Shifting sands that fade the lines
Blur the gulf, between yours and mine
A speck of time, some empty space
Shape memories I can't erase
Moments that imprint my soul
Experience my driving goal
Learn and grow, squeal with joy
Rage and scream, break my toys
Twist and lie, till truth is bent
Dark and light both heaven sent
Head after tail I make the rounds
Rediscover my holy ground
Cross the paths that I once tread
Life follows life, when your already dead
Round, and round, and round we go
Are we more then echo's?
Nobody Knows!

Perspectives

World of screams
World of dreams
Thrills, chills, and inbetweens
From dawns first light
To fading sight
Perception is the only blight
Beyond the needing
The passion feeding
Lives the hope that brings the night
Eternal knowing
Grief I'm sowing
Even in sublime delight
Twist of mind
Turn of phrase
Shadow of some hollow praise
Out of context
Void of emotion
Stranded on this dry docked ocean

Jack
aka PanseyBard

Driven

Tainted by remembered bliss
Unchained soul and Satan's kiss
Sirens call from heavens gait
Heart responds, mind relates
Buried deep, trapped by form
Futures past mistakes we mourn
Reflection of another's mind
Out of space, shunned by time
Cast adrift, caught by distraction
All is but another fraction
Fission of a mind unhinged
Hatter mad, but not so fringe
Looking in, peering out
Confidence as real as doubt
From corrupted shining crystal core
To Isis beach or serpents door
Filled with love, drenched with sin
Ignore, Laugh, Fight, Win

Jack
aka PanseyBard

Wisps of Delusion

Wisps of delusion
When passions wake
Apathy breathes it's last
Selfish desires offered up
On the alter of inspiration
Nooks and crannies of consciousness
Once held so precious
Wisps of delusion
Held fast Transfixed by
Focused contemplation
Bathed in the absolute
Unabashed subjectivity
Hyper critical self loathing
Finds fault condemning all
Harmony restored underlying unity
Laid bare unapologetic of  it's form
Glorious in it's certainty of divinity
Lovely illusions
Wisps of delusion

Muse

Betwixt between
Another dream
Blurred to speed of light
Sights and sounds
Smiles and frowns
Blend of sheer delight
Cuts and bruises
Blind and confuse us
Bewildered but loving the fright
Prison of Sense
Poison of old
Passion twinged madness
Divinely controlled
Spun, Splattered
Corrupted, Debased
Tortured, Dismembered
All in good taste
Hearing the song
Playing along
Movement unfinished
Leading me on

Jack
aka PanseyBard

Chasing my Tail 1

Black sun Burning
Shining dark
Wash away the stain
Banish the light
Chaos unleashed
Pleasure blurred with pain
inside out upside down
Inverted perversion
Seeking diversion
Cleansed of preconceptions
Released from rigid structures
Floating serenely
Gently Rocked
From sleep to wakefulness

Jack
aka PanseyBard

Who Forgot?

Alone in my room
Alone in my mind
Alone in this dream
Forgot it was mine
I'm only a figment
So pay me no heed
The unexpressed portion
That nobody needs
Who made the plans
Who's driving the boat
Who's singing the songs
That nobody wrote
Delusional people
Living their lies
Blissfully sleeping
Believing they die

Jack
aka PanseyBard

Revelation

Underworld dreams
Lucifer's themes
Chasing my tail
Till I rip at the seams
Morals, and screams
Ends are the means
All justified
By the love of all things
Demon or angel
Lies of the heart
Good and the bad
Was man from the start
Twisted in soul
Warped heart and mind
Spindled and folded
All out of time
Tortured and torn
Tattered and burned
Divine revelation
I never learn

Life is best shared

Slip through the cracks
Step between the scenes
Outside time, outside mind
To the spaces in between
Take your ease
Lay down your cares
Unburden your heart
Everyone shares
Smiles or tears
Hopes or fears
All in their measure
Equally Treasured

Jack
aka PanseyBard

Light for all

Expression of resolution

Howling Laughter

Tears of joy

Mystic mumbo jumbo

For every girl and boy

Step right up

Back of the line

Keep your head down

Your doing fine

It's time for waking

Now for sleeping

Here's your dreams

It was only safe keeping

Happy worker

Carrot, stick

Human spin

Pavlov's trick

Live the dream

it's all the rage

Rainbow makes

A pretty cage

Jack

aka PanseyBard

 

I was a dream

I am just a dreamer

Once I was a dream

Figment of forever

Whisper on a breeze

Flicker of anticipation

Space between the frames

Never was, Always are

One but not the same

Spun in, spun out

Warped, Whipped, Deranged

Divine proportional travesty

My note remains the same

Fueled by inspiration

Abstract motivation

Driven by confusion

Future tense memories

Tugging at my soul

Begging for conception

Birthing of the old

Jack

Aka PanseyBard

I am the foolish one

Tonight I play the fool

Yesterday the clown

Tomorrow we can spin the wheel

See where I am found

Masquerade of spirit

Puppet show divine

God draped in delusion

Masked by human mind

Rivers of incarnation

Empty souls, empty heads

Spouting love, but haven't bled

Stain of sin in robes of white

Death's decay, Kali's might

Lies offered as benediction

Serpent rapture afterglow

Live your life and let it go

Ignorant in all but bliss

Zombified by Satan's kiss

Tyranny in freedoms guise

is easy when you own all sides

In the Box

Sifting through the detritus
Of my cluttered mind
I find no peace, no answers
Voices bubble forth from the void
Choirs sing from the light
Collective mind of humanity
Bristles chaotic Schrodinger-esque
existance handing on a bizarre
Fear mirrored by desire
Divinity might deign to notice
Focusing attention long enough
To finally open the box
Letting us in on the cosmic gag
Putting an end to our questing
Are we live or dead

Jack
aka PanseyBard

Drip Feed

Disease of thought
Malaise by design
No need for strings
When they control your mind
Drink this, Eat that
Watch the latest
Hear the greatest
Pop a pill
To ease the pain
No don't move
Don't think, don't blink
Have yourself another drink
Watch the lives lived in the screens
Tune it to your drug of choice
Numb your mind, lose your voice
Buy your soul clean

Jack
aka PanseyBard
