Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Portrait of the inhumans

    They look normal They don’t stand out A portrait with my phone Shows one-dimensional faces Like waves of film Unreal and uniform Casting shadows long Over crowds on cave walls A long face but no substance A flat face of no proportion A hissing face with a hissing voice But the face never changes And…

  • Maddening village

    I went in madness In spirit and soul And Imagination And met a woman, as beautiful as the Queen of the Elves In one of her shapes And became in thrall And the broken city Shattered it’s glass shards In echoes of melancholy In its angles Aiming at my heart (Can you believe, now?) She…

  • Meditation in near rhyme to Hopkins

    If in the first sat Cal Then how did Raelene Be Cal, just now? The seed that Sprouted Cal From the iron maidens head Is a man meditating In a desert Now But Berwick’s no desert Never ever Did the seed contain Cal Now And if the plant is in the Seed How Comes the…

  • Question

    Is there any point to watching a butterfly fly in summer? Beyond the beauty of it Hallways of beauty Sounds of hell and love, all mixed together Where do they lead one? And why IS a stupid question Where? To go? I am in love, and I don’t know where to go I don’t even…

  • God walking

    God walking Like blues walking Like a woman, now, Funny, Shapeshifter Naked Contrasted cross to bare, Peculiar, Flying traffic Of noise Arches over baring Assumes its presence Of fairyfloss at a rainy fare And I’m walking With God On my shoulders A cross to bare See the women crack open With flatulence, The men march…

  • Blues walking

    A tale Sound unwritten To retell, refashion Replenish Creation: When the first man Committed the First crime And cast the blame Oceanwide Tribes of the earth Gathered And asked, why? Long time I have wandered And thru Suburbia, green gloved Golden girl in mind At the approach of this guy The still cars Sat goggle…

  • There’s nothing to understand I already know I don’t have to wait for God I am My heart Tho A messenger set to explode Why is it thus? If it leads to misery Being called crazy? Love: I don’t understand it, I know I am God Yet there is this heart What riddle? There is…

  • I walked down the street Eyes were bulging Fate was moving like an engine I spun a rose I watched the birds, my friends The bullets flew Across the battlefield I spun a rose I minded my own Tho Illusion was spinning I looked at a rose I wondered How they think they’re safe Penned…

  • “In the Lords own time”

    Mother earth From who we arise at light Contrariwise Delivers us the passageway To death In time between We term the present In the Lords own time Striking music setting love ablaze serpents coil, agonised Knowledge gained I break from Myself A movement I gather my spirit I connect and bend To the All stream…

  • Inferno/Matrix

    I Like a palladin Sword drawn I’ve spent a lifetime At war As I meditated I wondered About voices a battlescars And the society And it’s malevolence A name rose Like the sun at dawn And spread repose, Peace, in a devastated land An island, a life Inhumans and strife A beacon, Like a lightning…
