A REFRESHING SLAP

-


I have been awoken by a refreshing slap

A refined illustration of how to be a fisherman.

I have decided to be the baker of my own bread

To feel the heat of the oven 

To throw away every morsel of entitlement 

To be drunk with aspirations 

And not be timid about my weaknesses.

I will lovingly embrace my uncertainty 

Because it will propel me to rediscovery

I will religiously hold on to my fears

Because they will remind me that I am but just a man

I will accept my failure

Because the denial of failure is a more lethal failure 

I will not abscond from my pain because it will serve as fuel for this crazy journey 

I am ready to go through the loops of adversity 

To welcome negative experiences because only from them will I know monumental positive experiences


I have been awoken by a refreshing slap

To get on my knees and plead for reconnection with my inner man

To be in sync with spiritual creativity 

To rebuke the clouds of misfortune.

No more will I let the idea of being exceptional put me down

Because there’s nothing really special about me

I do not deserve preferential treatment 

I do not want to think I am the only one going through the sewage pipes

I do not crave pity 

Because it will make me a selfish benchwarmer

I will not be indifferent but will accept the fact that I’m different 

That my flaws are flawless

That I am wholesome in my suffering self.


I have been awoken by a refreshing slap

And I shout “Power”!!!!

I cry hot tears of regrets for wasted years

And laugh stomach hurting laughter for calling wasted years, wasted years.

That I am one step away from a step.

Oh hear my proclamation and dance with me

Because the coming years will be full of progress

From a problem to a slightly better problem and to problems I will enjoy solving 

Isn’t that the true essence of progress?

Oh laugh with me

Laugh at my pain

But open your eyes while at it.

AITHÉRIOS🪐🧚

During my cosmic quest for the undone, I came across the second daughter of light, Aithérios. I had initially had an encounter with her sister Luna, so I decided to take precautions. I met Aithérios in what you might call a dying star Her aura gave me a second chance at chasing the adventures of my cosmic quest She was magnificent in her carriage and not even earth’s prettiest birds and butterflies could compete with her colorful regalia Her last trip was to Saturn where she studied the mysteries of the Rings On her little finger sat the ring of Eros. Rumors have it that any mortal that stared into the rock of the ring will be consumed eternally by Eros’ arrows of love.  Her voice was a nesting call for the birds of the earth  And her eyes carried with them the antidote to delirium. We got teleported to the most ethereal realm of the Earth just to exchange entergalactic stories. She spoke with words so soothing yet sharp. The wisdom of a thousand sages together could not equat...

SPIRITS🧖‍♂️🪽🪐🍃🌞

There are spirits dancing in the gallery of my mind.   They sing songs of holistic freedom.  These spirits sweep me into an ocean of mysterious curiosity.  To unravel the myth of the old world. To bridge the past and the future.  Water is light and earth is shadow You cannot swim in a river that has no soul You cannot dance on a ground that has no pride. Spirits make me a portal They shock me I shiver as electricity flogs my brain And my cup is filled with spiritual energy  My father warns that an additional chemical substance will cause my cup to spill over  I am scared of a spiritual volcanic eruption It is a gory sight And the one tangible reason why I stopped drinking alcohol is because I realized i already have so many spirits inside of me Oh ye spirits Why do you choose a man to be a vessel and not give him a cloak? Paint this atmosphere with your presence  There is a fragrance in the air So sweet, An atmosphere.

  Have you ever seen a cellophane  dance recklessly in a deep blue sky? I throw a stone with my wildest inherent strength  Aiming at  the  gods that dine and wine on the round table of the golden heavens Just to cause them to pause and look down on a hungry boy who only knows how to dance Dance like a cellophane My mouth stays opened  as I gaze into the blinding sun As  an obvious sign  of thirst Thirst for freedom Maybe the piss from one of the drunk gods will trickle into my dry mouth That I may understand the mysteries of the old world   The old world when  we were gods The world where our heads were adorned with butterflies And our feet caressed by the clouds that are now far above us What was the last thing we did in common before our banishment from the golden heavens? Oh I heard we drank from the golden cup of the things that are to be A forbidden quest War broke out i n the golden heavens and my ancestors  were defeated And ...
