Love's Pure Oven Of Us


With breathtaking aplomb We arrive here as timely as a giggle of virgins Gathered like hayseeds Into this wide-eyed crack-brained moment. The gusto of a thousand divine blue elephants Surface bounteously up from an emerald sea To be this wave of what will be, And to trumpet the news of the world As it surfs the sunbeams of convergence. Upanishads of spontaneity Gregariously congregate into psychedelic slipstreams Of maharishi mantra's Where we pasture our bellybuttons In the Iliad of now. It is time to milk the gratitude cow And expose a well turned ankle To the man in the frolicsome moon Of our cowbell souls And there be the soapbox of this joy. Millions of Painted Lady butterflies Are storming in From the Northern fringes of Africa. We cannot swing a cat flap of doodle Without colliding with God's fly past. Whole mind mountains are land-slipping into this ocean Where the dolphins are tuna friendly. Love arrives with a mad hat on And pulls down the shorts of time To moon us into jocularity. Yes, I know that you know that I know. And I believe that you see what you see. And yes, I am what you are to me. You are the tickle my fancy of mermaid hair Spun from the loom of an auricular ascendancy Of dream-catchers That just turn up like leaves in the driveway of idle thoughts And then form ornamental ripple-grass Of astounding nitwit simplicity For the God people Who are out of their minds And who drool like perfumed lap-dogs In love's dockyard for the ocean. Yes, I know what I know And I can see the way through This painted labyrinth of you As clear as a frog can spot a Princess in a fairy-tale. Or as blue-eyed as a baby dragon who falls off a knight's horse To be this legend of the earth Recounting your stories in its dreams. Retelling butterfly dreams for the village people. I am on vacation from the path of the blather road to God. Have read the runes and thrown them up in the air To make your childish sagacity pop into wonder At being just this moment of us Crashing our dummy beliefs Into the empty walls of heaven And shouting yippi-ki-yea! We are shipping water like whales When they surface in a titanic froth of God bubbles And spew out their presence in the swell And all being well, of our latest picture show Of what we are when we do not care To be here or there, but only the now Of what we are. Drowning in the uplift of our hang loose Consciousness of a divine air conditioning Being the being-string that flies away From us. This show and tell of our hearts Talking in riddles for the angels of the after-world Of reckless bamboozlement To make peculiar the words from an infinite sutra of God almighty gabble gossip. Changing like tongue movements, Or Sea-Horse play To be our advent of creation. Marking this day of our Lord The 9th of July As our apple-pie manifestation fresh out of Love's pure oven Of us.


love
