To someone who gets it

To someone who gets it
By dan ankers


First of all, no you don’t, but that’s okay ,“who does?”
The simple facts are still unlisted (our emperor has no wife)
If we are lucky, at the best we find some blazing
Worthwhile
and
Eternal loves in life
The best are kids (to me), because they seem matter most
Though dogs to some appear equally fine
The choice I guess depends upon your leanings, and where inside yourself you draw some lines

Secretly,, we all write our own stories, with magic crayons fashioned out of neurons, waves, and light
To say there is a single way to make your day
Is a con man’s trick (never fall for his display)

And primitive in scope if you ask me…(but no one is, and no one can agree)

I rose today obsessed with making sense.
It was a foolish task and now my heart is tense.
It was a seeker’s risk, and this I’ve always been.
It’s a chancy thing to do when proof is slim.
I can’t decide if I am dumb or brave or what.
I hear the talkers and the mockers sharing their insults and jests, playin’ in the mud.
And I ponder what it takes to live that life...
Though I leave certainty for others
To pretend
And how can I be sure, maybe I am crazy

In the end.

The wayward nations string together, one after the other as a train, one whose cars do wretch and smash whenever, causing mayhem, bedlam, pain
Strange that for the most part things seem to go normally, even though this is a mad world surely, and for most we still can still sleep a tiny bit, though our way is shameful and unfit

Take a Breath

Take a Breath
By dan ankers

Who says what time has elapsed?
Was it an hour, or a moment, while I was taking a nap?
Punctuality tells time to get a grip, as if it were a servant to any of that shit
The nature of time
Is a plate of infinity
For however you eat it
You could never repeat it

And the way that you ate it
Is illusorily fated
As are all of our moments

A matter of fact.

Just take a deep breath, and enjoy that hit
And savor the essence, and inhale life
And learn to trust with all you are
The flooding rush of conscious light

And learn to see
Within the dark
That consciousness streams, wave after wave
And so does time, in similar fashion
In oddest means
It does behave
Can
You trap particles of time?
You think you can, and it works fine
But as you take a second glance
Your thoroughness broke that romance

But all is good
Please do not
Suffer

Their really is
No three alarm

And all Exists
Confounds
And Baffles
Though to that end
Comes no real harm

And when it is seen for what it is
The space between the breaths you’re taking
Becomes a personal obsession
Come play with time and edifice shaping

Joyful when the ego slips
And with it goes the myth of three dimensions
And all is laughter
And all is solemn
And all is nothing
All's invention

Fragility

Fragility
By dan ankers


A woman did not ask to be as she was
She simply was
Like water droplets rolling down a lily leaf
They did not ask to be relief
She simply was
They simply ARE
These women
We are given
For relief
These droplets rolling
Down the arches of her spine
To settle on her buttocks
Oh such comfort
And
Such sweetly meaning words
Rolling like teardrops from her pursed lips
Always tender and so honest
Never daring to be
Whips
And never wanting for a moment
To assume such bad relations
Really begging for some quiet and
A little bit of
Sleep
A hand to touch, tender
A quiet, honest moment, pleasant
And a morning
Only lovers
Only love
Atop a big white bed
All she wishes
Serving kisses
Upon her gentle lover’s

head
