7533 Spiritus
[by S. David] [art by Craig La Rotonda]

Needs
Desires
Wants
Conflicting
With
Reality
Bring me peace
Bring me love
Peace of mind

Hello there
You with
The quiet soul
The sweet spirit
Come teach me

I looked
I saw
Her so peaceful
Centered

And the dove
Flew
From her
Shoulder
To mine
She opened
Her eyes
Turned
Looked at me
“Can you
Share
My reality”

6724 Beginning of Creation: Merkabah
[by S. David] [art by Tat Tank A]

Disguised
Hidden within
A sphere
Of solid light
The golden chariot
The Divine Light
The Mer Ka Bah
Slowly traverses
The Waters
Of the Deep
Dividing them
To upper and
Lower a golden
Path a golden
Cord begins
Creation hissing
Sizzling pulsing
Until a sound
Resounds OM
Many names
Come forth
Many names
Has God many
Ways is God found
Within without
Above below
There is no
Comprehension
God of creation
Look within
Look without
And what can you
Know

8669 Without Words
[by S. David] [art by Andre van der Kerkhoff]

Ah but
There are
He studiously studies
The printed book
He is not
After all
A bard
A skald
Or any of those
Who
Over centuries
And still
Had to learn
Mouth to ear
Memorize
Histories
Chants and
Laws
With the printed
Word much
Was lost
Much more
Retained for
Researching
But
Fewer
To look
And learn
Without
Words

8222 Unveiling
[by S. David] [art by Nad Wolinska]

To see
But no
Not known
Not yet
The becoming
The will being
Of what is
Not yet
To whom
Outside
Inside
Does inside
Matter
To outside
Does outside
Matter
Inside
There are
“Yes’s”
There are
“No’s”
But to whom
Behold
The unveiling
To whom
What is
Worth

7210 Night Flight to Light
[by S. David] [art by Tat Tank A]

Campbell
Watts
Jung
Graves
Is there
A voice
That tells
A woman’s
Version of
The myths
The archetypes
To take us
On those paths
To tell us
Of night flights
And other
Journeys
That lead to
The Light

7220 Beelzebub
[by S. David][art by Craig La Rotonda]

Angels both
Though fallen
From inconceivable
Heights
As their brightness
Darkened they sat
In the Pit rueing
The battle past
When they and
Their brave host
Of Angels too
Now lost to Heaven
Challenged
The Almighty
And His right
To rule
Much conversation
Had they weighing
Just the ‘why’
And the ‘therefore’
Of what had
Transpired and
Satan’s willingness
To give battle
Still and again
And the fateful
Decision made
To champion
Evil over Good
And each
The other
Inspired

7806 Departure
[by S. David] [art by Nadia Wolinska]

Here
Yes she was
Here with me
Her body
At least
Yet there was
A place where
I could not go
Her body
Yes had moved
With mine
But her mind
She rose
From the bed
Looked at me
Strangely
As if
As if
She had
She was
No longer here
Where
Some sanctified
Place
A dreamy holy
Space
There
Not here
Her mind
There flying
I could no
Longer reach her
And the sun
Shone bright
Over her shoulder
A pinpoint of light
But still
I reached again

8798 Minotaur and Moth
[by S. David] [art by Beth Carter]

No not cold
He does not
Breath in
To warm
His hands
It’s spring
And although
He looks slow
Though faster
Than a bull
The Minotaur
Has hands
As fast as
Man’s cupped
Within he peers
Looking at
Patterns on
The dusty wings
Of a moth
He caught
Delicately
He lets it live
Wishing only
To see
To gain
Some God
Meaning in
His meaningless
World meaningless
He knows no other
Seeking not
Finding
Another so
He wonders if
He has any
Meaning
Perhaps moth
Wings will tell

8789 Standing Minotaur
[by S. David] [art by Beth Carter]

Ready yes
Ready for
Whatever
Good evil
Do not judge
You have not
Walked his road
Alone
Yes alone
In this world
There is
No other
And that means
Yes meaning
That only he
Feels perhaps
Does not does
Understand
And so he
Stands
Bull man
Ready
Waiting
Knowing not

8818 Waiting for Nothing
[by S. David] [art by Santiago Riberio]

Godot
Hell no
No promise
Of anything
Happening
But
Time passing
Condemned
For they do
Not hesitate
Immobile
They just wait
Is there much
Difference
From death
Only they breath
Eat shit and
Sleep flesh
Only having
Given up on
Grooming
Clothing
Everything
But the Four
They do not
Even copulate
For pleasure
Reproduction
Nor to kill
Time
They just wait
Not even
Wave to
Time
Passing them by

8666 Father, Lover or Just Dandy? 1
[by S. David] [art by Andre van der Kerkhoff]

She takes
Another look
“Yes presentable
Still after all
The years and
His mind works
Well the rest
Good enough but
I’ve got years
To go and the few
Now well I’m
Proud and learning
From him”
They walk down
The street together
Not touching
And you know
Not dandy
Not father
Yeah lovers

7898 Old Love Letter
[by S. David] [art by Ridha]

Evidence
Of what was
Once now gone
And he made
A ceremony
Out of ending
That part of
Hs life
Plucking a rose
From his garden
He drove to
The nearby take
Tossed the rose
In tore the letter
Into pieces and
Let them fall
In also they drifted
To the bottom
As they sank
He lit a candle
Said “good bye”
Blew the candle
Out drove home

8684 Just a Shadow
[by S. David] [art by Ridha]

Just a shadow
Just a memory
Country road
Middle of nowhere
And they had
Vacationed
Two new lovers
Urban bred
Glorying
Being free
And the memory
He returned
After
Way after
And the memory
He saw her
Just a shadow
Coming
Towards him
Down
That road
A tear rolled
Down his cheek

Kiss Me First
[by S. David] [art by Agnieszka Szyfter]

Yeah the drinks
Flowed
They glowed
Eye contact
All that jazz
He was
Well whatever
She was too
He invited her
To leave
She thought
Said ”why not
But kiss me
First appearances
Are everything
Then let’s go”
Ah youth
That’s the way
It was
For some
That’s the way
It is
For others
A fantasy
For most
