A Monument To Time And Stonehenge
David Soriano

 


Circular Neolithic complex
Designs emanating from the heart
Transmission of sacred energy
A ceremony of the cerebral art.

The dreams of ancient transmutation
The desire to ever improve so
A signaling process based on binary code
A time to vacillate between ebb and flo.

Not so sure of your intellectual circle
A symbol of the soul sublime
A center of divine mystery
A tribute to the riddle of time.

 

 

American Mobile Home
David Soriano

 


It carried along the Yankee bed
With bonnet for their security blankets
It started the journey made from iron and boards
In the backwoods of western Pennsylvania.


With wagon bows and metal rims
Side boards and water barrels
An American Noah's arc
Heading toward the great Terra Incognita.

A ram-tough product built to last
Before it became fashionable
Unpainted overlander on the open trail
It followed faithfully behind the teamsters.


Carrying a coop of clucking chickens
With every bump making a ruckus
Pouring milk in the early morn
Some butter come the evening.


The beating drums and broken arrows
Violent exception to their intrusions
It was more than once
Time to circle the hardy wagons.


It was as tough and bold
As the Americans along and carried
Transported the emigrants westward all
To their final fates and end of journeys.






 

 

Barnyard Language
David Soriano

 


My thoughts exactly
As I searched the venerable collection
Of methods new and old
Used to express the English language.


I've got a notion or two
To articulate the blasted situation
And serve it up to you succinctly
On the proverbial silver-plated platter.

Check out the discounted prices
On vulgar means of raw emotion
Rather crass and always crude
A barnyard means of Anglo expression.


A mind usually unkempt
The thoughts frequently unsettled
Just forward and forever on
America, you see, usually swears by it.

 

 

Blessed Bwiti
David Soriano

 


A most fascinating and truly blessed
Mystical search for the eternal
A personal path of chosen freedom
Involving tradition, rites and belief.

An intangible and irresistible
Exploration of the inner and true self
Don't look to the stars for the heaven eternal
Start by looking within yourself.

The immortal soul
The spiritual center of religious initiation
The beauty of truth
Veiled behind thinly shrouded mist.

A decoction of insured riches
Contained in the beverage of bitterness
The doorway swings open
To the cup of warmth and sweetness

Blissful inebriation
An endless parade of fantastic apparitions
The gods reveal themselves
To those they truly love.

A thorough examination
A modern day approach to soul searching
An initiatory internal light
Which does not emanate from the sun

A universalistic tendency
The desire to blur the differences
The tiny pinpoint of light
Undergoing rapid and exciting evolution.

 

 

Bootlegging Dastardly Deeds
David Soriano

 


We do not carry bootlegs
A track so original and so unsurpassed
It would cheapen the endeavor
It would water down the blasted sound.

Look at them leave the basement
There they go out the back door
Smile, you're on bootleg camera
Insight into the criminal mind.

Tawdry tales of built-in burners
Brethren to the pirates
Fly the jolly roger
And hightail it to the stormy seas.

The sort of stuff seemingly
Going on all over the airwaves
Temporary technical anomaly
A circumvention of corporate greed.


Snag the ill-gotten software
Bring them to their knees
Out of sight and out of mind
The best things in life are not always free.

 

 

Change
David Soriano

 


A chance to meet new friends
Without leaving home
The significant sign pointed
To detours in the road.

Another routine
A change of scene
The more you contribute
The better it will always be

Filter the events
Occurring daily in the lifestyle
Examination of the inner desire to change
An innate trait to accelerate the positive pace.

 

 

Cramped Highway
David Soriano

 


Not so quiet on the western front
The problem is that everybody annoys everyone
Tales of terror, barkin' wheels and blazin' trucks
There's always a way out.

Don't go out in the rain
You see- we got this all ass -backwards
Now you've got me vinyl retentive
Am I'm the one in a wood paneled pacer.

Day dreamin' with an empty station wagon
You've got me attention deficit and disorderly
True until death, then spirit lives on
And it's a very small world.

 

 

Delta Force
David Soriano

 

Seemingly, the strong and silent type
Followed by the explosive flow
Submarine flanks flowing forcefully
To the green planks of the ocean's floor.

Oh, so sudden eruption of gas
Lava flowing toward the sea
Clash of the angry titans forward
Two of nature's mighty agencies in determined fury.


Steam driven explosion
Nature refuses to rest
A delta force of sudden disruption
A sudden collapse into the sea.

A fury so frantic
When Nature is not so settled
Be forewarned and take careful notice
Of the natural forces that are meant to be.

 

 

Dreams Of The Transmutation
David Soriano

 


Dreams of transmutation
A place where I should be
Boundaries and layers of mirrored reflections
A chance to live for eternity.

Perfection of the striving soul
Through desires, thoughts and action
Healing visualizations
Through initiation and interactions.

Explanations of meaning
Realized through the alchemical integration
Harmonious blends of balance and thought
Realized through practice of the divine art.

 

 

Level 33
David Soriano

 

       
       
                     Cast down and crestfallen 
               As we form the requisite new crusade
             Brethren starting out on the spiritual journey
       Take heed, once again, there's danger we'll have to share.
       
         Start now, to face this world of lightning and thunder
          So many venomous demons spouting words of anger
          With these beings, be advised, settle up or settle down
          Recall these are sounds you surely don't want to hear.
       
                     The outcome of this moral journey
               Was like ending up in the future just past
                         Walked straight and didn't weep
        We entered, raised and passed, in accordance with the seer.
       
                        As members of the secret brotherhood
                 We scanned the actions of centuries already spent
                  And true to our oaths, signs and sacred vows
          To the acacia, skull and crossbones we remained sincere.
       
       
       

 

 

Morlock Flight
David Soriano

 




There was a point in the distant time
When things seemed so cold and darkly
A state of material existence so fine
Having nothing to do with guilt or money.

With moonbeams shining
The periodic and unpredicated aberrations
Of an imaginative mind left napping
Baneful influence of the embracing lunar light.

Destructive nature and love of fire
While she pours out her silvery beams
By the early traces of morning light
I saw the Morlocks take to underground flight.

Feel no need to understand
All you want placed in your hands
Underground lies dark and dangerous lives
A concrete world of technical production.


 

 

Mystical Selections
David Soriano

 


We can try to classify
As ancient, historic or modern endeavor
The trials and tribulations
Of the men so inclined
To hear the strange sounds of the night.

Pray tell
Who knows what is in the air?
And at what times
The disembodied manifestations
Choose to reveal their existence
To the mere mortal?

A man never so markedly
Advances in the intellect
That he is not heir
To the collective wisdom
Of his predecessors.

At work or play
Holyday or holidays
The experience of divine encounter
May well be dependent on chain-of-luck
And a surely certain chain-of-command.

It is never
Your privilege and never your place
To question these matters
Resolve therefore
To simply accept the granted experiences in stoic fashion.

 

 

Pattern Recognition
David Soriano

 


I am caught in the crossfire
Of endless conjecture and possibility
In regard to my
Restless abandons for you.

Is it the aspect of cerebral insight
Or the creative output
Of your intense and determined mind
That brings me back to you?

The complexity of complicated patterns
Is it intentional design
On your part
To cause me confusion, or to exercise mind control?

 

 

Restless In Wonderland
David Soriano

 


Browse and search
I'm just lucky to be alive
An unusual world around us
It's something, this thing called pride.

It's a truly classic collection
This group we call ourselves
Can we be certain of anything?
Could it all just be contrived?

A treasure chest in the making
Filled with fun while it lasts
I'm the first of the Mohicans
You're truly Mr. Jekyll and the classic Dr.Hyde.

Adventures in modern science
A crusade to reach the stars
We'll paint the town universal
And become a novel food of the gods.

 

 

Solitary Voice
David Soriano

 


A strange and disturbing voice
Whispers, suggestions and lectures
A world of reality and future predictions
Built inside his nocturnal mind.

Impossible to function
Intrapersonal obsession
Certainly a constrained compulsion
Dysfunctional voyages into speculation


Sunlight streaming in the windows
Then my voice finally fades away
A broken link into conjecture
I know he's not insane.
.

The laughter in my voice
Knowing he must live with this alone
Forces beyond his control
He dare tell no one of our conversations



 

 

World Of Our Own
David Soriano

 


A penny for your thoughts
No time like the past
Recollections and premonitions
Time enough to last.

Walking distance
The nick of time
Arm in arm
A timeless paradigm.

The after hours
A world of our own
The eye of the beholder
To each his loving own.
