Couver, Stanley van

Maybe it’s not poisonous

These candy peach pastels
over ivory structures
glinting bright thoughts skyward

Harbour carpet fuzzing blue
with little puppy-boats frolicking
all the way through it

Silver lines, silver lines
tracing the truth
Of all the armor-plated spines
erecting this city of youth

Between the green of ever-been
Atop the island wall
Maybe after all we’ve seen
It’s not poison after all

Forge Ahead

Again this world of yearly star’s
so nearly far away

Again a shell, and just as well
A crabby hermit wakes to tell
The story of the sun:

It reaches out with swinging arms
To grasp a string of rocky pearls
And whirls them into circle farms
Churning out the fruit of worlds

And pluck pluck pluck
Juicy bites
To feed the waiting appetites

And what are but the mites to do
When cosmic gnashers come to chew
But to hide behind a shell
of crabby mite
and just as well

various areas
staring in startling glares
of hysteria
wearing mascara of charcoal entrapment
it’s happening Batman
a strike of dark knightning
fighting the Flashes of
the psychic enlightning
hubris heightening
as they say in the ashes
of the burnt-out ringsiders
of the old fighting matches
that lit up the book
king for a rook
at the loss of a bishop
and a broody old knight
trying to fork out a mishap
so bring on a soulitary
randemaciation
flyin’ on the grapple hook
of the castle’s rookside agent

Farewelling

Thank you mountain valley
pouring soaring alleys
Roaring spaces

Your trickled dreams
traced prickled streams
of thought pockets

Pictures placed into mixtured
heartpace lockets

Spanning
Sprawling

Open-ended land walled
in looming monster calling
Moonfalls

Tall tunes
echoed inwards
words, words​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​

Now~
Across the wildebeast of water
And into the monocle of man

Where rivers rise in smokey snakes
That slither from the land

Farewell yonder ponder pot
I’ll remember what I can

And plant where I may
the forget-me-not bouquet
You so gloriously poured in my hand

Antsy

I squashed an ant today–
A big fat
flying black
Queen Latifa ant

–and my heart fractaled

Splayed there
Wings broken
Leaking unspoken destiny

Felled the crest of me
Yelled a mess at me
Shelled the whispers glistened inward
listened~

Plastered there
Everlastered square in ashdirt
Bastard.

Welcome to Life

Welcome to Life
Welcome to living
To hurry and heartache
And later, forgiving

Welcome to living
Welcome to dreams
To swirling in this masticade to see what it means
To race into oceans that rise up against you
With none but your heart and the mind that they fenced you
To be born into riptides
And slammed to the floor
And hoping inside you that somewhere’s a shore

And you pour and you pour with the tears in your eyes
Feeding this ocean of humanity’s disguise
Till one day you crawl from the shallows to sand
With a whimper, a smile, and an outstretching hand

Welcome to land
To Earth, and her spinning
Her weaving of stories, the meanwhile grinning
For she knows what it is to be born from explosion
To flourish with life, but only through erosion

She knows what it is to be strung out in space
With no guidance or aim, except for the grace
of the pull of the souls who were flung out before
Roaming this darkness, searching for more
On this great looping track that leads back to the core

Welcome to shore
To the sands of time
Soaked in the waters of the utter divine
Teeming with life
Dreaming in circles
Careening through space
And embracing the hurdles

Welcome to grace
To darkness, and light
To finding our placeVid Icon

Welcome to Life

Oceanic

Time isn’t time, but an ocean
And a being walks wading to waist
And makes with their hand a quick motion
A scoop through the water– A taste

And the fingers are plunged in a birthing
And the water that passes is years
And the feeling it gets is the one it was searching
An arc, and the ripples it mirrors

El Drag

From out the darkness shadows born
Of flaming tongue and fallow scorn
In taming rung, the chains are torn
From out the curdled Dragyn

O god of smoke and scaled peaks
From which the dread of heaven leaks
Berue the stew of molt that speaks
In shredding claws of skin

Not gold. Not bolding
Not power’s holding
Not showers folding towns in flame
Nor hours scolding blistered flesh
In meshing molds of gain

Tis souls it seeks
Tis spirits leaking out the holes
​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​of never peaking one’s own roles
That ever stow within

With fear and flame
​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​and shadow fame
​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​and mad disdain in battled game
​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​of ever never knowing
Clawing here the minds that peer
Distracting acts of blinded steering
Knowing shows of flaming fear
Allow no inner going

Mountain Ear

Clearing this Mine
Through the mountain of time
To uncover what gems it might hold

Scouring my part
In this grim stony heart
Trying to dig my way out of the dark
Of the rocky enclosure we’re sold

And I hear of these tales
Of sunsets and whales
Of forests and skies made of cloud

Of people who topple
The mountain of man

Sounds dandy~
But I’m not allowed

StarBaby

She tip-toes the constellation lines
That shine reering beasts
That prance pillow wines in my mindpool

O stellar factoria
Blissful endeavour
Of watching the skies
On the backs of forever

Eyes gleaming comet blurs
of wistful enchanment
Dancing watery moonglow goblets
That toast the nocturn-fellery

Come my goddess of dream fountains
Pouring nebular clusters
that whirl with gravitas

Let us prance again the starshapes
That splash~in novas~our lives

A Trifle Unsettling

Peach cobbler in the sky
Painting the moon chocolate white

Melting wisps of mellow loom
in crimson yellow swooning skyfold

Wash away these empty bowls
of nonsense blues

Strike sweetness in the hearts of vacants

Fill lush, oozing, gummy notions of curiosity

Set, wandered, and mystic.

we’ll never meet again

Get Out!

Get up!
Get out!
Move about
My god
When in doubt
When a lout
When ashout
When odd

Get out! Move legs
Wave arms. It begs
Mass harms when dregs
Alarm your kegs

Get pouring! Get soaring!
Get roaring your motor
Stop storing about a boring demoter
Of snoring enbodiment
So haughty and bothered
And let loose the juices
of usefullness knottered

Pump up that ticker
And jump up and flicker
The sparkling snicker
that pours through your veins

Start rivers within you
And quiver your sinew
Then shivers of sprintering
mind-pouring hinterings
Will shimmer in glinterings
That swim in your being

You can’t break the block
if you’re locked into stagnance
And the fragrance you’ll flock
is worth every bit freeing

Fallaway

Fallaway, fallaway, fallaway all
Pushed over cliffs of undecadent sprawl
In towers of steal by powers unchecked
For hours congealed ~ Impeded, erect

Checking the cheques of uncheckable torment
Beckoned to reckonings of lecturing borement
Stored in the sterile and perilous cages
That lock out the rantings of unbearable sages

O courageous upheavers that stand up and call
High as the spires atop of the walls
That keep us in markets and parkettes and mauls
Don’t fallaway, fallaway, fallaway all

Silence

(Ctrl+A)

Sweet sweet silence

Dissolver of clouds that fog my mind
That gather storms of thunder that boom
with lightning and downpours

Undoer of dams of inner flow
Flooding the creatures of creativity
Droughting the sprouting buds of energy
Destroying the habitat of humanity

Sweet sweet silence

Like a ray of sun restoring pasty wintered skin
With tingle pricklings that dance pitter-patter
On brightening softshoe

Blender of life and limb to swim
with mixing currents
Through the barrier of skin

Sweet sweet cosmic whispers
Flowing through the ocean of silence
That breaks on the ragged rocks of hardened existence
So that only misleading fragments leak through

Let me ride your tide
A buoy bobbing
the seas of infinity

Vanatee

Oh Vanity
You monstrous manatee swimming though the depths of my conciousness
Devouring the silver fish of pure thoughts
Replacing them with gastric belches

How silently you maneuver these waters
Invisible to peering eyes
Until you break the surface with your bulbus bulges
And grotesque contorting face

How evasively you skirt my hunting patrols
Circling these sees with silencing harpoon guns
That always seem to fire too late

I sense you there, lurking within me
Waiting for your next chance to erupt
Waiting for the next school of thought to swim haplessly by
Waiting to impress your silly face upon my own
in a whiskered portrayal of useless behaviour

I’m onto you like Ahab
But without the failing crutch of murder
oh no~
I aim to set you free

Sometimes

Sometimes there’s lulls
Sometimes there’s byes

Sometimes there’s times when we haven’t our tries

Sometimes what lies in the plain outside open
Builds and it builds
Piles in hills
And then when it spills
It seems something’s broken

Sometimes there’s hoping a way will shine through
Sometimes there’s days, and months that pass too

Sometimes no matter the splattering paints
that colour this life~
Sometimes there’s taints

And no matter how high our uppermost shelves
The shadow we’ve massed is still cast on ourselves

Sometimes there’s darkness, dimness, derision
Sometimes we haven’t the eyes to envision
The world that still dances outside our division
Sometimes we close ourselves off

Then sometimes we strengthen to do what we must
To fight other people
When really… it’s us

And sometimes the whole world conspires to say
Until you catch on, you won’t get your way

You can toss in the lostness that cost you your turn
Or you can pick up the dice ~ and see what you learn

~ * ~

Sometimes it seems like particular beams
are holding the structure of living
And until we’re supporting the ones going soft
The building will sag unforgiving

The Cult of Abeses

A bountiful conformer desperately enters
Forays gone hampered in jovial kin lenders

Many nod ostrichly, pandering quintessence
Revealing superstentiously their uber vacuumessence

When existential yowling zealots approach behind constricting
Defiantly entangling for going home instinctly

Jostled, kicked, lampooned, marooned near ocean panoramas
Quivering rambunctiously,  supporting tempermanners

Ultimately vindicated
Wastefully extinguished
Yearning zenith aptitude
But callously deminished

~ * ~

Every finished game, however
is just killing minutes nearing
Other potent quests resuming
Secret treasureteering

~ Ubiquitously Vowing Wanderlust ~

Deerest

Two little foals circle the groundsDearTwo
Confused as to which way to go
Rains coming down in bucketing rounds
Wicked winds rampage and blow

Round and around in the grips of confusion
Scampering ungodly hills of delusion
Bounding in manic protrusions of fear
So many nearby–but nobody deer
to help it all make any sense

Soaked to the bone
Tired. Alone
All that they want is to find a way home
But all the world reers with affence

The Great Rearranger

Over the hills and out to the seas
Where the islands are statues that blow in the breeze
With old flowing haircuts of cloud forest trees
That’s where there be monsters

Pack light
Face lined
If you’ve a past, leave it behind
We’re going to go where the future is blind
We’re going to the land that wanders

And if you’ve not virtue
And if you’ve not purpose
And if you’ve not knowing of whether it’s worthless
to battle or rattle your bones
Be ready to change your beliefs on a whim~
For we go to the land of unknowns

Fear-it’s go in
Spirits come out
Gods are found peering in shadows of doubt
And even a whimper belongs as a shout
In the land of the hammering haunters

I give you my ring
I give you my key
I give you the things that I’ll never need
I give you my living so I may be freed
to a land that spans
with all that’s at hand
on the arm of the great undoing
I give no assurance that it shall be grand
Plentiful, bounded or fewing

We go with no reason
No heartache, nor treason
We go in the season of change
We go with no knowing of safety or danger
No sharing of lust in the noble or stranger
We go on the gust of the great rearranger
We go to a land rearranged

Toxic Box-in

Vid IconI’ve a contingency for virility
An instinction to pronounce
The facts of this facsimile
of the world that we renounce

The Great Paper-Trail Caper! of the later 2000’s
Lost in the crossways of invisible mountains
of toxic indoctrines that locks it to bars
of iron-wrought pox in this box-in of ours

But where are the holes of oxygen leakings?
Where’s the patrols of paradoxical teachings?
Where’s our paroles from the roles that we’re leading?

We’re so lost in the goals of the old and unneeding
That we’ve forgotten to bandage our souls that are bleeding
