"To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom".
                                                         ~Bertrand Russell~

Cerebrality

Oh my complicating brain
I have thoughts I disdain
Do I just love the pain
Why cant I refrain
From the cavalcade of thoughts
That have absolutely nothing to gain

Some days I feel slain
Others are critically in vain
Gazing through the window pane
I whence and feign
Wishing to break the chains
Yank and pull in the reigns
Am I insane?

I can't stop thinking
My thoughts are shrinking
Regarding passion and loving
Just pushing, jumping and shoving
Am I somehow imperceptively obtuse
Off by only a few degrees
Lost in the breeze
Lacking insight
In this cursed blight
Clinging to idealism
Or writer's surrealism
I reject all defeatism
Vehemently and frequently

What is the right way of thinking
Even more correct unthinking?
Belief in fantasies and dreams?
The murmuring of silent screams?
Recapitulating with fragile care
It's a dreadful battle I bear
Like breathing in poisoned air
Could my personality somehow be
Filled with over sentimentality
Steeped in evolved over think
Connecting an obscure link
Driven to the  brink
This is the ultimate question
Of my obsession and progression

Pondering thoughts night and day
Imagining to escape and stray
Far from my mind and many plans
That incessantly moves and spans
Bringing forth brainstorms and rain
I demand the plug open and be
Washed away to drain
You see. . .
These cerebral thoughts
And all the untold pain
Of a proverbial cerebrality
That defines my personality
In conflict with a rational mentality
Requiring a refined enlightenment
With habitable environment

Under a clear cleansing rain
I go out and play
There to surely stay
Hoping to feel no pain
Within my cerebral brain
If only for one precious day
It's okay
Tenuously I will cling
Enjoying the growth
And relishing the upswing

Come be free with me
Gaze upon the majesty of a tree
Let go of fears that dwell within
And let the peace begin

Come be free with me
Throw worries to the deepest sea
Contemplate a bumble bee
Rest in calm carefree

Come be free with me
Walk the beach in bare feet
Feel the sun upon your skin
Clear your mind within

Come be free with me
Shun worldly cares and be
Exit the abyss by personal decree
You alone have the key

Come be free with me
Walk with sight to see
Open your heart and mind
You will expectantly find

Magic certainly surrounds us
Waiting with absolute sureness
In this world of uncertainty 
It's the magic that sets you free

Passion

I love a long sexy and warming kiss
So sweet and filled with such calm bliss
Albeit through staleness of breath I heartedly disdain
It all seems so disgusting and completely in vain

The lingering taste of red wine on soft waiting lips
Slow and refined, is a totally exciting eclipse
It's what I long for and so deeply desire
This fleeting, beautiful dream that I aspire

Where are the men of such love renowned
They are hiding in red velvet pockets abound
How this desire burns deep within my poetic soul
I must find this sensual beauty through the magic keyhole

Alas, so many are dead to this realists passion
Placing their love all bound up in a future ration
Selfish and unfree they walk through this life
Present in a yesterday still filled with much strife

Find those that  keep the candle of love alive
Who have thrown off the old and how they survived
Emerged in the beauty of the world all around
And love in a way that totally will astound

This isn't a fairy-tale or a fanciful romantic plight
Searching for love is deep and takes special foresight
Reality catches us all in a most inopportune time
Making desire and longing work within an empty paradigm

If we let go of fear and the working of the masses
And just burn those paradigms right down to black ashes
We break free of control that stops us from the passion
Enabling us to take a much more lasting sublime and loving action

Dreams

Moving through passages we trace
Spirits connect in a predestined place
A love that abides in forgiving grace
Having no discernible face

Found in philosophies of mankind's histories
Etched in merciful knowledge and grace
A continuum in our minds inventories
Guiding our journey through space

We gather in unseen dimensions
Hearts alight in higher ascension
Souls in perfect melodic resurrection
Clothed in the love of agape affection

Happening in an instant
Over millennia of distant times
Within a genetic imprint
Within the eons of no confines

The invisible worlds of timelessness
Witnessing love that has no end
Absorbed in the light of faithfulness
Dreams sent pure and splendid

Shades of strawberry roses
Love moves in closing and goes
Seeking, ending, composing
Always beginning
With you

Fall


Autumn dawns and starts its journey
Winding paths of colors to see
Dissolving into a blue winters rush
Bringing quiet under the soft frozen hush

Musing in my favorite chair
Shaking off hurt and despair
Days go by in slow deliberate notes
Sunshine and love I miss the most

I ponder in my mind
Where love and reality intertwine
Years gone by in fractured moieties
In pieces and portions and tiny degrees

Hope still runs deep within my soul
As seasons cross the celestial pole
Letting go of all I hold dear
Staying the course I persevere

Freedom to be you and me
Changes within us a vital key
Memories sentimental and sincere
Like the seasons marking another year

Soon the winter of our lives begin
All that ever was and has been
Are the today's, tomorrows and forever's
Memories of love a cornucopia of beautiful treasures

By Artist: Vincenzo Camuccini

Beware Caesar the Ides of March
Junius Brutus et al conspires
No longer Dictator Perpetus
Ended by 23 wounds
