2 Poems by BW Derge from "Pillars of Salt, Book Two: Fuck Your Tea and Crumpets" - written in 2005. "One Shoulder Heard the Other's Echo" & "Waking into a Dream"
One Shoulder Heard the Other's Echo
Worlds twirl all around me
Spinning with winds
Amidst forces embedded with love
A friendly global reality
Above concerns of everyone
-
But whatever-
I feel as though I am in a cradle
Rocking and smiling
Never feeling so free again
Acceptance just another dream
Variables in seeds about to sprout
My mind is clawing its way out
My body experiences the truth
Of only the soul surviving
But something more explicit holds
-
The Earth locked me inside a closet
Where I hid for days and years
Until I followed some little firefly
Who led me to a clarified thought:
There is an eternal thing inside us-
-
My demons rest until I find privacy
Darkness layered like cement
Emotions based on the perspective
Of things said but never truth-
A useful tool for the devil
Atop my left shoulder
Waking into a Dream
I woke up in a dream
In a field looking around
Picking up milkweed
Until I turned around-
Saw brick walls of a town
-
I try to make sense
Of this ever expanding dream
Creating new worlds
Engulfing me into machines
And I don’t know what to do
-
Grow & Evolve
For the love of God-
Become alive!
Perception just a thought
Thinking holy life forever
-
Dear God-
The truth has fisted through
Into this dream I awoke into
And whatever I must wake into
Whenever I awake from this
It will be just another dream
As well
