Written by Bennett from beyond the veil - channeled by
Joanie Trager 8/14/2008
The duality of the universe...
The glory and the fall....
It is all so beautiful and uplifting to watch it from here...
How it all plays out...
Your dance..
His dance..
The dance of the planet...
It is all connected and interwoven...
It is the dance of time..
And so I look forward to dancing with you all again....
and we will soon my friends...
For I am only right here..
just beyond the veil.....
and I wait for you...
as all of you know...
Bennett
These are poems written while he was with us:
BECAUSE
Because you are who you are
I can't deny your right to spar.
Going out and in between
Remember life is but a dream
In the twilight of our love.
There were no rules nor push or shove.
For we were perfect souls of light.
With no darkness for delight.
And now we dwell in this realm.
Were we cannot control the helm
Of this ship that we are leading
Into the dawn of our souls bleeding
Until we enter the dimensional flow
Completely lost until we know
Just where we are a going.
Just believe my untold story.
Soul mate awe will be together.
No need for time or space forever
The serpent finds eternal grace
Through your eyes, through your face.
Just remember you can control
The reality that you grow to know.
There is no set path you must follow
Unless in death-mud you must wallow
So instead of wasting time and tears
Over all the long lost past and years.
Eat the fruit of each new day.
And show yourself a different way.
This world has never been so cold.
So give a new tale to be told.

No Doubt
My hand and pen hold the key
to unlock my cell of captivity
In between some words are lost
But really who can count the cost.
Too bad that this is not the same
as laughing madly in the rain
My friends soon shall have me to figure out.
But I will leave them with no doubt
Of why I came or disappeared
Or why I have not ever feared.
I cannot wait for the white
of tonight's winged horses in flight-
towards my soul they fly so fast
That no man should let them pass.
Despite the voices shouting below
I have no ears or eyes to blindfold
Shall be no threat in aging land
To help that one may understand
My plans I most definitely will carry out
with no complications and no doubt.

Before unconscious thought
becomes too distraught
Accusations blessed to my

Wherefore actions split between
the balance of the scale
Made up of decisions far
unparalleled
Whispers come outlined stained
glass rhythms to decide
Flowing boundaries crossed upon
while the truth's are blinding.

Rest assured the will of

THE VALLEY - SONG AND POEM 8/8 OR 18/96
start of Dragonfly tape Songs: 1. The Valley
2. Which Side Would
You, Baby Choose?
I've seen the sunset 3. City's Perimeter
down upon the mountains 4. Dragonfly
lovely breast. 5. How would you feel?
Buffalo and deer 6. Starlight Frozen Starlight
keep their beauty 7. Turtle Grip poem
without rest. 8. Ain't She Sweet
The valley's deep cored
energy reflects
it's present past.
Surrounding circling
energies that forever
last.
Bound in holy creed
Found in only need.
Basking in the sun
Asking the only one
Horses dancing naked
playing in the fields
of green
Hear the voices of the
Indians that have
here been
Black felt sky pin hole
stars immaculate light
behind
Within the dragonfly's
breath the treasure
you will find
© 1996 Bennett E. Poinsett
2. WHICH SIDE WOULD YOU, BABY CHOOSE?
Masterful and perfect planning
intercede my flow
the curtains draw too early
and in them I'm enclosed
Backstage the voices of the dark shadow people rouse
for then I was a member of their lonely house
Which side would you baby choose?
If you knew just who would lose
I'm not quite sure of what to do
well, if you do I guess that I love you, too
Beside my head of dreams an image floats by
and I don't know.. did I die?
Though words that lead us are often misleading
that is why I say.. say --
Which side would you baby chose?
If you knew just who would lose
well, I'm not quite sure of what to do
If you do I guess that I love you, too
All of you.. All of you..

3. CITIES PERIMETER
You know it's just one long day
there is no time.
Living in the purest part
of holiness divine
Inside this temple
no shoes on my feet
It's easier to laugh
than to stand in defeat
The cities perimeter
holds in the snake
Whereas out in the beauty
the snakes too late
In this fantasy land of love
No one knows of greater
than him above
Love and life
breaths of air
every single footstep
It comes ever clear
I could live forever
In this place
Never seeing anything with no grace
The cities perimeter hold in the snake
whereas out here in the beauty the snakes too late
The cities perimeter holds in the snake
whereas out here in the beauty the snakes too late

4. DRAGONFLY
High as the sky
When I look into your eyes I cry
For I love you...there ain't no rules
So don't try to play me for a fool
Dragonfly...climb to the sky
Take my soul with you
but before you come down
leave me in the blue
Leave me in the blue
When I close my eyes...I sink into the flow
and I become lost in undertow
With no alibis..believe me for I'll never leave
I will never leave
Dragonfly...climb to the sky
Take my soul with you
but before you come down
leave me in the blue
Up there in the blue sky
Up there so high..
So high..
that I could never come down
Turn my smile from a frown
Cause I love you and you know that I
I am so high
I'm so high on you
I am so high
so....high
© 1996 Bennett E. Poinsett
5. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
How would you feel
If I sent you a dozen roses
How would you feel
If I jumped off a mountainside
How would you feel
If my heart it did so cry
And my heart it did so cry
And my eyes won't be afraid
How would you feel
If I told you that I loved you
How would you feel
If you were always the only girl
How would you feel
If my heart it did so cry

7. TURTLE GRIP 2-12-97 POEM READ BY BENNETT
Laying back in my shell. Energy consumes every
shadows infinity. Crawling creature restless steps towards
growing conscious. Examination quickly overturns
Shady reaction. Through sequential form this fluidity exists
Not with coincidental theory but with drawn out personification
Love instills itself upon the core energy sphere encircling and
encompassing the ora. Within each sphere balance between
Quantum structure is maintained by the ocean of energy
flowing beside, within, and without the dimensional realm
of liquid reality. The forest falls into sweet orchestral
overtones of primal remedy. Institutional, physical, aggressional
power invades this bow of structure. Bending, twisting, morphing
energy of love and hate create harmonic visions of
revered inspiration. Only in this beloved state of lucid
involvement of futant ceremony may this be seen by the
naked eye

HEALER
Understanding now
the reason I am here
Healer of the sickness
of which the world cohered
Prophesizing freedom
A new time invent
Where vibrations rule
Slide to side and bent.
Balance of the flow means
taking care of love
Have no hate to give and
Thank the Great Spirit
for what it does.
Love thy neighbor as
you love yourself
Not the money that
perverts your wealth
Individual quality
Must circumcise the group
For masses integrate the
mind and expand the tape loop.
Greet each human with
love that shows the time
is near.
The time when this dimension
we call earth disappears

THE WORLD'S PRAYER 8/96
Righteousness
the core of quality thought.
Recognition of the dualistic society
in which we live. The dualism of subject
and object. Put aside personal anguish
and fear of the unknown. Quality is
like heaven. Everyday is a walk towards
the great light which dwells inside and
beyond our consciousness. Living is
just being. We never actually go anywhere
except forwards. Toward a new quality,
Towards the acceptance of this intuition
which everyone speaks so highly of but
few can rely completely on. Intuition
of righteous thinkers/livers is the
great spirit whispering straight to our
soul. Understanding purpose. Living
out our dreams. Society casts a spell
on young thinkers into thinking T.V., sports,
music, Bright lights, Big city. Drugs,
It's all an escape from having intuition.
A wall around consciousness. For there
really is no unconsciousness. Just believing
something is too deep in your mind
to understand. Jim Morrison thought the
only way to find the truth was to numb the
senses for indefinite periods of time. He was
right but he had to use drugs for long periods
of time to feel the vibrational world --
But it’s all right here in front of you inside you
without you. But you are here. So there is
a PURPOSE for you. That is the most important
thing. Find your righteous purpose. Pursue
it with quality. Become one with the land
the sea and the sky. The land is ours and
we are the land. But there is no ownership.
It's all been handed to us on a silver platter.
Live with love and love the life. Halleujah!
I live in a tipi. I sleep on mother earth's
breast. I eat starlight, (for we are spiritual beings on a human journey),
The herbs, plants, fruits and vegetables that have soaked up these
vibrations from stars come and gone. Living
this way provides a complete understanding
of the meaning of life. I have given my
life to the healing of humanity. And to the
never-ending walk of the walk. As I talk the
talk. Given to us is such an unbelievably
simple way to survive and harmonize
Take the steps towards the light, the universe
will do the rest. Universe itself means
the music of one. A balanced harmony
of beauty love and colorful intuition
Its so easy that too many people feel it
won't work. But it is so easy. Amen.

yesterday I have seen
Hidden in your Black Panther

Baby when I look up into
the blue sky
And when the clouds
move overhead
The wind whispers to me
Moralish through the flow be
I'm gonna love you till
all time is dead

My sweet Baby Moralish save me
My nostrils flare, Your soft black hair
Stare with your eyes Into my soul
Unlock the doors as you progress.
Throughout the inner-space
Snake slither steps, take with no rest.
Enter the garden plant the seed
Let you grow Into everything.
Your the only girl that fits in with my world

So I could lean over
and whisper in your ear
I Love You
Moonbeams dance around us.
Shooting stars into the moon
Enter in the castle
And fall into the spell
I'll take you on a journey
Where only time can tell
Heaven is our aura
Perfect, just, and true
For we are the dreamers
And eat the honey-dew
Think all day long.
About that night
When we first kissed

Two warm halves
Incubate come together
The birth of our common
Combines us forever

We'll have a good day tomorrow
Not like today filled with sorrow
Angels came down giving semen
Don’t worry babe I'm never leavin'
My Libra love eats me inside out
Trapped inside my heart of doubt
Why are you making me go insane
I didn't think I was to blame
When I look into your eyes
I've seen the Christ you've lent to die
If I've grown to close to my soul
And lose my sense of human control
Would you comfort my dying days
As I drift off into the distant haze

BREAK
Before I sink into the flow
Into the deep of all to know
The fire will creep into the end
And forceful pounding push pretend
She sways so serpentlike superb
I utter not a simple word
Brain deep dancin in delight
I spark the flame to send in flight
Scared little girl
Break your vows
Break for now
Break the world
Incense fumes the ptty air
As I gaze into a stare
Dream bout a time I lived
When all the sins were forgived
Smokin Drinkin Blowin Showin
Wonderin Dreamin wishin screamin
Romantic lost in mono-reality
Searchin for the way to be free
The beach in the south suits me fine
Were the women are pure and thoughts are divine
The storm clouds bestow the rippled tide
No one cares any more I lied
Life will die It came yesterday
Caught on a plane, no getaway
Gotta sink back underneath.
Gotta find my place of peace
As I walk along the road.
In search of a long lost abode
I lose my breath, gasp for air.
No more life left, no despair.

TOWNS COUNTY JAIL
Through all of my mishaps and distresses
I have found that in this society it is
inevitable that any man living the life
he truly wants to lead is not able to do so
Police, Government, Adults of one-faith all
disturb the flow. The flow unto which I
live. This place - so beautiful - so whole
One with everything - everyone-plants-rocks-
trees-rivers. Why must this be? it is though.
Fall to the knees in worship of our mother
and the energy of white-light - our father
One such as me. Wanting nothing to hate
only living for love. Misinterpreted into
a dark pit. Beloved earth and stars above
come and take me away from this
evil satanic world. I cannot be like this
much longer. For by chance I become
perversed by these evils. Love to all
and all one-love.

HEY THERE GIRL
Hey there girl
Don't you know you made me smile
Hey there girl
Won't you stay and talk awhile
You met me through my daydreams
Inside the picket lines
Where whispers led my consciousness
and led a great demise.
But as I see your plaka hair
and structured bone, so perfectly, so rare
I decide I can confide
Heney _______resinates my lips
Believe it when I tell you
the reason I can't quit
I've been so fucking wasted
the past oh couple years
I wish I could reserve myself B
for just a couple tears A-Bm
But time has passed me by. A
So I'm sittin here with you. F maj G
And I don't know if I'm dead F
for just been over-used
Begin my time again
and leave it to the end

CONRAD
On and On
my love for you
goes on and on
Never dying
No Good-Byeing
Fear lost it's grip
As my mind slips
Into another paradigm
Classified only by light
Another friend in flight
Flying high into the stars
While beads of color trapped in jars
Kill the pain and remain
A constant change of
Pace to replace
Another friend lost in grace
Believe these words
They are the way
I only can express
No way to say
If my wasted mind
Could re-instate itself
No matter no wealth
I only want your kind
There she is, walking through the sun.
In transparent majesty. Life just begun
The eyes of an eagle with a tint of the sky
Infinite love for this creature of light
A friend of the Dragonfly dimensions regroup
A teacher of life has now cut the loop
Gifted with powers of Shamanic extent
Revealing the need for more love to lament

QUEEN
Gm F
Younger days of fortune
Which now have turned to gray
In what dream did I
Foresee this horrid shame.
Cut apart and massacred
Castle over grave.
I wish my everlasting love.
Could translate in your name.
Ditto of the death defying
Dreadful day of doom.
In which testimony
Should I come resume.
If I were to hand you
My flowing soul of love
Granting you the life of queen.
Of all the stars above.
Tell me now why would you dare
to run away in fear.
You're lost, confused, in a different world.
Than mine which conquers here.
The last generation gave your world.
to you and all of us.
We must change and rearrange.
The path of the blue bus.
With me I'll take you faraway
to parts forever lost.
In distant rainbows shining bright.
My alibi is tossed.

MY CREATIONS
The purpose of the project I am doing is to be blunt.
Nobody's concern but mine. The information I
am trying to communicate is the importance of
free-flowing, non-thought about, abstract design
and Illustration. Nobody will probably buy what-
I have created; unless they think like me. My
creations may change someone's perception
of life, and/or state of mind, which would probably
be to their benefit.
The audience that will be focused upon is the
mass of the world populous.
The creations will not promise anything to the
crowds, but may influence a change in norm.
the support that identifies my promise, is
found in the free-flowing-fluid world in which
I live. Where nothing is concrete or solid - changing
at every moment.
Finally, the tone of my creation, should be
determined by the observer, who is in
control of his/her own state-of-mind.

HOLLY
Hey there little baby girl
The one that's in command
Come to be in breathless-sleep
And make me understand
What land it is you've come from
To find this world of mine.
Where we intermingle
And All is so divine
If you show the path in which
you've seem to found your way
Then I will begin to morph
Into the runaway.
But if life’s cares are forgotten
Consider me a bird
Whosoever broken wings, I'll
mend and give a word.
For outside gives a certain
state, feel it as I do.
Inside the soul there are no words
To tell how much is you
The words that show a certain feeling
Have no point-of-view
But energy that I give
Will only strengthen you
I'll take you in the flow of life.
Where everything is new
Constant changes for fluid phases
Excite your molecules

US MEN
When action takes it's motive
And come along with fortune Picture of a mushroom he's drawn
The solar machine takes its time
and the barley is supportive
Where glass is sand is flowing

Combination overflow as

Now do conquer here

WHICH SIDE WOULD YOU BABY CHOOSE
Masterful and perfect planning
Intercede my flow 1-A A
The curtains draw too early A Df
And in them I'm enclosed
Backstage the voices of the dark
Shadow people rouse
For I am now a member
Of their lonely house
Which side would you baby choose
If you knew just who would lose.
I'm not quite sure on what to do
Well, if you do, I guess I love you, too.
Beside my head of dreams
An image floats by
And I don't know
Did I die?

are often misleading
that is why I say.......

Big writing -- I can't understand much of the rage --
YOUR REALITY
Each night I lay inside my head
Before my dreams take me far away
I see the shadow duck beneath
The candles light turning gray
Darkness clouds the purity
And clear and vivid I can see
Each breath endures the lifelong race
Of which I shall come in first place.
I have no need for truth or lies
I have no need for alibis
I will greet evil with a smile
For I conquer all the while
Life is but a dream in here
Nothing left for want to fear
Who's to tell you right and wrong
All of them can die and be gone
For all I care about this world
Nothing's here to be denied.
Take the fruit of eternity
And discover why they lied.
These truths are too real you see
That when you're born
They make your reality
Oh, don't you wish you were here.

AM I DEAD OR JUST ALONE
Drugs and Dreams
And unplanned schemes
Am I dead or just alone
I can't figure how you've thrown
It all into the paperbag
And let it burn in fire flag
All they learn I care to teach.
They're ain't no way you cannot reach
Just know and flow and
give a good show
For to them that’s better than
a knumb nos.
Swiftly come in silent flight
Not to wake on pride's delight
No plan to hear the gospel of
the strangers land afar
Lost together in this place
Where time and beauty
have been replaced
And opened up the sliding door
to stick a lick in nature's whore.

TO THE ONE THAT TAKES MY NAME
To the one that takes my name by me
The one I've spent the past and eternity
All will be so Godly divine
If I can you luckily find.
I know many I thought was you
But never did I have I did knew
We shall be the new adventure
Going in and out of time forever
Today is the next day of time
Each day I find more hard to rhyme
But If I can you luckily find
All will be so Godly divine

CRAZY WAYS
I'm on a ship
Set sail last year

And when my fear I do find

Cause my life
Is a lazy daze

The one of love
and beauty
Too great to
comprehend
The one I love
completely
A love that has
no end
For love that
fills a void
That I cannot
fill
Must be the one
of perfectness
The one set in my will

were restless
Knowing not a
thing
But knowing now
the flow
We're one with
everything

beauty of this love
It's taught be to

It's given me a
sense of peace

DOUBLE- KNOBS (KNOTS)
The foaming moon
has disappeared
From tips of
trees too high
The fire-light
which breathes
my words
and smokes the
life which died
This mountain - top
Where I as it
And spend my energy
All of these
so Beautiful
The flow has
Given to me.
Each pass of wind
Given certainty
Of my heart alive
If not for utter
humbleness
of the mountain's life
But far past
The shadowed trees
The stars light readjusts
To my staring dilate eyes
And give a blink of trust.

FLOW
At dusk I couldn't see
So I closed my eyes
I indulged in knowledge
Saw clean through the lies
Breeding flawless flowing
Easy just to be
With no need for past-time
Baby just believe.
Life and Death Flash
before my eyes in conscience thought
Sun and Moon Yin-Yang
Encircle life's square knot
I have popped out in
the plane where all eyes
can see
But underneath the secret
lair is eternity
Bearing fruit for mouths
to eat and thoughts
to comprehend.
If not for long prolongment
of senses to transcend.
Equilibrium of gears
and color flow throughout
the wind.
Let go Let go of fear
and know
that which brings us in.

YOU DON'T KNOW -- Poem and also a song
High as the sky
When I look into your eyes
I cry
For I love you
Ain't no rules
Don't try to play me for
a fool
I am alone
Far Away from home
with no alibis
Believe
For you can trust
I'll never leave
Everytime my eyes close
I fill with the flow
I am eased with undertow
If you could be mine
Forever with no knowledge
of the time
All would be good
As I know it should
But I whisper to my heart
You don't know

LOST
At night I toss
and turn estranged
For I have lost you
in the rain
I hear your soft
sweet voice sweet baby
I daydream lost
just thinking maybe
We could be again
You keep me high
When I'm hangin down
You keep me wise
When I'm in town
The fire burning in
your heart so burns
I wish I could begin
to tell you of my yearns
I grow in your garden

STONES
It's the time in the world
Where time is nil
We live in a void
That Clinton can't fill
Lost in Space
And in the flow
Close the curtains
On the show
Inside closed eyes
Close them again
Find the flow where
the stones are your friend

NEW TALE
Because you are who you are Eat the fruit of each new day
I can't deny your right to spar And show yourself a different way
Going out and in-between This world has never been so cold
Remember life is but a dream So give a new tale to be told
In the twilight of our love
There were no rules nor push or shove
For we were perfect souls of light
With no darkness for delight
And now we dwell in this realm
Where we cannot control the helm
Of this ship that we are leading
Into the dawn of our soul's bleeding
Until we enter the dimensional flow
Completely lost until we know
Just where we are a going
Just believe my untold story
Soul mate we will be together
No need for time or space forever
The serpent finds eternal grace
Through your eyes
Through your face
Just remember you can control
the reality that you grow to know
There is no set path you must follow
Unless in death, mud you must wallow
So instead of wasting time and tears
Over all the long lost past and years

RASTA GIRL*
Beautiful Radiant Rasta-girl
Subtly Smooth, flow of the world
Touching the deepest realm of myself
Taking my soul, giving it wealth
Simplicity underlined
No need for fear.
Unperversed inspiration
Showing me clear.
Where in my travels could I find
Such a girl with such a mind.
An evergreen sprout growing with love
Beautiful Rasta-girl from above
Live to Love and Love the Life
Given to us
Now we are completely free
What will be was

TOKEN BETTER
This time my willingful sacrifice shall not
interfere with sequential design
My intuition grew this weekend and I
refuse to accept fears. Token time.
If I have grown too strange in my humid
primal place of peace
Take notion of any direct interaction with
which I release
Sometimes If you close your eyes you can't
see sometimes you do better
And when actions of incarnations disturb
Your flow you do better
But when you refuse to fight for your right
Understand, you BETTER DO BETTER
Love it not love if you do not believe that
love is the root of all evil
And hate ain't to blame when you blame shame
Because you were too weak to kill
Anyway you better get ready cause we're getting
close to the end.
Cut the tapeloop and find the truth for the
dream is no longer a friend.

THOSE EYES
Those eyes Those Eyes For finally here somewhere
Those magical eyes where I am
Like infinite Eire of beauty I've come to know her
Those eyes As a wise friend
Within this vibration With no need for hot potato
with no parallel pursuit
In wildest dreams Of energy which others
No way to expel may loot.
Such sequential perfection Constantly changing beauty
Such as this sight and form
No touch of the earth This creature most pure light
Could bring more delight does adorn
Than to stare deep into Each molecule perfectly
the soul placed
Of this creature no So that the order of
force could control time-space is faced
Lost for words caused by No need for running
entwined It comes as it will
Energy from millions of Curiously questioned but
years ahead and behind revered still
Beautiful Radiant Rasta Gracefully understood
Girl eyes with no alibis
Purities equal, and with Magical beauty released
no compromise in those eyes
Only to live and dwell
within skies
of figure 8 landscape
Above all the lies
Possibly with a bit
of lucky chance
This could begin a
brand new romance
Not like the traditional
wanting of sex
But close to or surpassing
what will come next
My oh My those eyes
I cannot
escape with all effort
But I'll complain not

Moon Queen
Won't you take me away tonight
Moon Queen
Won't you make everything alright
Now what should I do
You took my own life away
What more should I have to pay
Moon Queen I'll show you the way
Moon Queen
I dream of you each night
Moon Queen
I won't give up my fight
You know what others don't
You light up my eyes in smoke
Moon Queen take a ride in my boat
Moon Queen
You are a part of my soul
Moon Queen
My words fall into a hole
I touch your face in humility
Your shining grace and beauty
I grow inside your fertile garden
As your heart begins to harden
Moon Queen
My soul depends on you
Moon Queen
Baby, I'll always love you
Split apart all it is bad
Can't you see you're all I have
Oh please please please don't go
I still love you, love you so.

MOVIE SHOW
I met a girl tonight
At the movie show
She had dark brown hair
I think I said so
We watched the flick
And laughed a lot
Before I knew it
We hit the parking lot
We hugged goodbye
No kiss or cry
Just walked to the car
And said - later
Boy I'll tell you something
Now that she fills my head
I think I liked this girl
I should of kissed her instead
See me minds drifts off
Into outer space
I try to keep myself
In his place
But when I'm thinkin
About a new girl
One I think
Is outta this world
I can't keep myself
From gettin lonely
Cause I know
No one's here to hold me
But I liked this girl
More than the others
She wasn't worried like them
About their worried mothers

TOKEN TIME*
I've blown all my money
Blown half my mind
I've blown it with my baby
Now it's token time
I've carried my body
half-way round the world
I'm on my way back home
Just to see my girl
But she's gone
Gone away
I ain't got a dime
Now it's token time
I fell off the railroad
close to Caroline
'Bout 50 miles to Asheville
But now it's token time
Token Time
When I finally numb the blues
Token Time
Brother spare your shoes
Token Time
Just one thing on my mind
Token Time
Finally going back
Back to the blessed mine
Back to the place I began this misery
Back to token time
So when you see my baby
tell her that she's mine
But that I had to leave her
cause its token time

RAIN
Infinite blossoming reverberating bubbles
Creaming foam of fluid solidity
Vibratory snuffing creating non-fictional
reality. Quantum sphere of undivided attention
Mist of confused rain-cells fluctuate from
earth to air back to earth then dilute into more
dense water-like structure
© 1996 Bennett E. Poinsett
MOMENTUM
With a little luck
And a shove from below
We can kick the stars
and gain momentum to flow
Walk through the sunshine
On a hot summer day
Holding hands together
While reality slips away
Your dream has left me kinetic
Feeling love for you ten-fold
By the light in your soul
I can feel my way home

POEMS WRITTEN TO MARYBETH CAFFREY - *****
MARY BETH
In your eye I see someone
Someone that I love.
In your eyes I see someone
from the sky above.
You make the days go by so pure
In times I'm in despair
Sometimes I wonder who you're for
You and your beautiful hair
There's something that’s about you
Something I cant doubt
There's something that's about you
I cannot live without
With your eyes of glory shining
In your bodies care
Everyday there's more I'm finding
Qualities so rare
I don't know why I'm like this
I've never been before
with you I could live my life
I'd love you even more
I love you more than songbirds sing
More than the words can tell
I am a bird with broken wing
I sing to you farewell

Poinsett, BE
Moralish’s Moon
Because I love you, and only you.
It is to be that all is true
For when you're near, and next to me
I see our life-long destiny
While our lives may not be long
together forever in lovely song
Will we be, forever dear
Until the end of time and years.
one beloved, to me is plenty
The one the Is has willingly sent me.
No more need for action or words.
For we are one just as the birds.
That fly with the wind so effortlessly.
Be patient my love, for soon shall we.
© 1996 Bennett E. Poinsett
DAMN YOU'RE GOOD
Sorry for the overflow
of emotional undertow
I can't help myself.
For you're no one else.
Interruption, fractal streaming
Results are perfect non-fictional dreaming.
Damn you're good
You got me thinking
Wonder if I've done too much drinking.
Probably, but you never know.
Cause I love you high and low

Moralish 5
If I fell into the fire
Would you throw yourself
Into my arms?
If you cut you're precious body.
It's O.K. really
I've got firearms.
Before I allow
water in my lungs
Into the river would you run?
If I hear about your plane
crashing down into the ground
I promise I'll die.
But if I grow old and weak.
With me you and I
Will take care
For you are all.
And all is I.
© 1996 Bennett E. Poinsett
LEAVING
You know I'm kinda glad your leaving.
So we may understand dreaming.
When you're gone I'll sit and wait.
And when you're here, love we'll make.
It'll be an experience love.
I've never had but will learn to shove.
My feelings shall overcome the fear.
So I may see the coast so clear.
Because I love you with the whole.
Of everything I've grown to know.
No matter who is here for a while
Or there to give you just a smile.
After these days have left our lives.
We can live to write the page
Don't get me wrong my soul appeal
For in the famine we'll have meal
© 1996 Bennett E. Poinsett
NO CATEGORY
Into the moon I'll show the way.
While crickets bow and give the day.
We seek the life we've grown to know.
Because our love can melt the snow.
That’s the beauty of this story.
It is of no category.
We make the rules and change the main.
For we're the masters of our game.
Its all so easy the way we are
Living simply beneath the stars
No one can hurt or pierce the ora.
No one can take from us anymore

TOO FAST
How long have I loved you?
Now let's see here
Maybe some months
Or even some years
Or perhaps much longer
I remember a summer
that passed by too fast
Far deep in the past
To tell you the truth
I really don't know
Sometimes I feel silent
when the wind blows
I can't tell for sure
for time is a factor
But when we're gone
to whom will it matter
Shallow eruptions of
Malfunction junctions
Seem to be holding onto
Some fear of revolution
Far between and long ago
We have loved like
No man has known
This estranged world
Has distorted the souls
And seeing eyes of
vacant holes.
Back when peace and
beauty were found
we're part of the everything
Calling abound...
Don't leave me here
Don't go, oh no
Don't leave me stranded
I love you so
I ain't got no peace
of mind
When I think of your
eyes
You've managed to fortify
and destroy me
the moon shines down
And shows its power

IN LAZY TIME
Feeling good today What I need's a friend
Just had a smoke Yea she'll be fine
To pass the time away Time and Time again
Can I tell you something’s So where and when
If I may Do I begin
I'm feeling good today What I need's a friend
This girl you see Loneliness
This girls as beautiful Caught between a hammer
as can be and a fist
I'll sit and think of her This girl shows me
beneath this tree where the pieces fit
This girl you see No more loneliness
Now get this straight Now get this straight
I know, I'm lost I know I'm lost
But what is the cost But what is the cost
I'm in love with this girl I'm in love with this girl
And shall be mine And she'll be mine
In lazy time. In lazy time

THE WIND 10/04/97 Last Known Poem written
Swiftly taking breaths of Incense
Taunting mirror Braves more Contest
Inner Voice of Pain and Wonder
Throwing my thoughts out asunder
Animal Spirit Flowing Through my portal pin-hole eyes
Raging power eluding telescopic Alibis
Bewitched from Female Intercendence
Crushing dreams and losing Vengeance
Finding nothing to believe
Except my Own Miseries
If underneath a trance of reason
which is not my own
Let the One who steers the sun
Guide me to my home
Entwine me in a certain secret path in which you lead
That no one could intercept while taking on such creed
For now The time is now is now the time to die
If you love me give me something from the great blue sky
No more trying to explain the way I live today
For yet one more day arrives and leaves and stays the same
Underlying Mystifying Truths told in Earth tongue
Hear the words that speak to you and show the damage done
With Care and Gentle Understanding let each man confide
Within the pleasant fire aura rippled in the tide
Without Causing over-flow and spinning throughout time
THE FLAMES ARE RIGHT AND I AM WRONG FOREVER DOING TIME

FOR ANDREW T. SNOW
With a last glance
He let his hand slip away
From her fingertips
Which were long and plain
Their parting kiss
lasting long and slow
As the cold wind
Started to blow
His life was for her
now he's gone
she feels the pain
like a steel prong
he must go away
and leave the world
Where is he now
she shouted out loud
Why must he die
When I'm hangin so high
Please let him live
Oh God, let him live
I need him more now
Please God allow
him to live

CAP D'AGDE 7-31-94 A Bar on the Mediterranean Sea
Thinking. I don't now what to do
Wondering, If I'll get to know you
In a bar, at the beach
try to understand my speech
It's hard to understand
I'm not in my own land
Yea, your beautiful
and Yea your smiles full
But can I get to know you
Like I want to know you Fuck.....
The sun beats down she's gone
Across the sand now
I hear chatter
What's the matter
with you girl
Come let me show you
the world's desire
I promise I'll light your fire
If you're tomorrow
I'll guarantee no sorrow
for you girl
Yea the dream has come true girl
Come on have a beer
Or maybe laugh and cheer
But in two weeks I'll be gone
You'll have no more happy songs.
From me no more forever
anymore, you're the one

RIVER SONG FOR MIRA MUNCHEN, GERMANY
Mira understand What did he say
Mira understand beautiful; you
I am just a man but why, can't understand
I am just a man come on, come on
I play my music by the river now you, beautiful you
waiting for you can't you come out and,
I glance in your eyes and play, return my good blessings
don't know what to do come on now I, I understand
A smile from your face My garden is quite nice
A simple simple smile couldn't you see it
A simple eye of grace The roses hurt but its
stare for a while worth the pain.
The grass under my feet I promise you'll agree
compels my wandering heart join me you'll see
to follow the path laughing running yea
of my distant art choose your day.
instinct of fearful concern
where is my; my; my
highway, I cannot find it
where is he
How long till mine
I'd like to go
too late now, I lost
I lost my ticket

WALLS
My insatiable insanity
Holds me to my name
I try my best to give a shit
but it stole my brain
My virtue isn't fading
It was gone long ago
In the lime-light standing
I'm dead from head to toe
Within the walls of darkness
Inside my blood stained head
The walls are getting closer
Soon even my soul will be dead.
These prison walls of cobblestone
and windows of stained glass
My transparent window
The speed of decay is fast.
My hears is gently pounding
across the midnight sun
The white clouds of the storm
will make my fingers run
A delightful note of pleasure
A beautiful nightmare
The gravestone makes me happy
and makes me lose my fear

THE NEW BEGINNING OF THE END... 3/16/95
Its the end of the road
As I know it.
I don't know why
I haven't lost sleep over it.
But deep in my head
I know something’s wrong
Thoughts begin to stir where
I prove they don't belong.
It's as if the apocalypse
has begun inside my head
Starting there then slowly
It will begin to spread.
Beliefs are illusions
that can change at a glance
I just hope these illusions
Give me my last chance.

THE SECRET
A confusing consolation prize
A bloody dagger in my soul.
Who could of told me of
the way you could control.
Breathless and passive.
Bewildered aggressive
Growing emptiness filling me.
Again to the point of agony.
Desires of you in me rise
But lose their touch so easily.
For knowing now the secret.
It makes my thoughts want to flee.
I wish I could withdraw
from the battle I fight
But I can't put down
my airplane in flight.

HELP US
Help us help you
To enter your soul
Because we know things
That you don't know
The fear in your eyes
Shows that you're weak
Help us help you
Before you bow at our feet.
We know how it goes.
You think you are wise
But the difference in us
Is that you eyes are blind
Come to us now
Before Its too late
The end is here soon
and your soul it will take.

LIFE LINE
The thin walls of time
Reverberate in my mind
As the life line grows weak
My mother mind is at peak.
The fall of the rose stem
Beats at me again
Where passion has faded
It's left my soul jaded.
I think what I can't think
And have brought which I bring.
My hand shakes as I write
All over again I fight.
Paranoia strikes deep
As I begin to weep
My motors and gears bind
I force out the last line

DISCUSSION WITH DEEP
Deep, go ahead get, deep, I hate the kind of people
You think you're getting deep That like to waste my time
But your mind is dead asleep By telling their adventures
See I'm the kind of person But find that they are blind
that likes to use my mind Deepness comes from the soul
I guess that you could say And not out of your head
that I'm spiritually inclined To give you an example
Not for all that Christian shit. I'll tell you about Mr. Fred
that searches for one God Now Mr. Fred's the kind of person
I'm sittin in space just drifting That's smoking dope all day
And my mind it thinks abroad He's not even aware of
See everything is nothing All the prices one must pay.
And nothings everything He thinks he know it all
If you let your mind just wander But this is really true
Peace and Beauty it will bring He couldn't tell the difference
For all of the things in existence Between his wife and you
And the ones not even seen Being that he is 29
Are just little part of and feels like he's 13
One big central being He couldn't read this story
We flow around in circles And tell me what it means
Our spirits are enhanced Now for all deep people
By everything that we sense Who think their being robbed
that seems far more advanced Think a little harder
or go and get a job.

ETERNAL SACRIFICE
Baby
All day long I've dreamed of
Seeing you in my head
Why can't you be here
Cuddling up in my bed?
You are my little baby
No one's gonna do you no harm
Cause I'm the one that I'll carry you
Into the heart of the sun
I offer eternal sacrifice
To you my beloved Moon Queen
Dance with me into the flames
Where we meet our infinite dream
The snake shall slither but show no fear.
For all is good and well.
Hold my hand and walk with me
Into the world I've made you to see.

OUT OF THE WAY
Breathless journey
to be forgotten
the pear has grown
old and rotten
Infectious vibes
beget the fear
Inside the cave
the coast is clear
Pulsing pushing
Gasp for air.
draining pool
in gold brown hair
The afterglow
of diamonds bright
Fills the alter
for coming night
Beauty bare
Sits on a plane
Who can complain
Out of the Way

RESIN
I can't see the lines too clear
Wonder if I'm really here
Resin stained fingertips
Restrain my knuckles from a fist
What is the truth this season
I'll believe this God Damn reason
Anything to fill my aching mind
I saw it but my eyes are blind.
Aim so far the targets near
Pushing up to my pulsing fear.
Summer sweat fills my brow
the air is too humid now.
Willful conviction of my sin.
Belonging never before, begin
Lost for touch, by fingers bleed
My hungry heart you can't force feed

SOMALI ROSE
Sandy Earth, resists the life.
Between the rains, a world of strife
Red and Green, the colors seen
Rely upon the silent dream.
Sky of blue and mountains brown
Revolve around the ocean town.
The greatest day a man could see.
Within the realms of sanity
The soaking heat, dries this world
Leaving skeletons twisted and curled
No proof of any surviving life.
In this hellish paradise.
the only spirit that willingly goes
Is that of the great Somali Rose

ATHENS HIGHWAY
East of the homestead
Across mountain range
Into the Sunrise
And out of the pain.
Whispering wind
Through cracks in my head
Belief of the righteousness
Lying ahead.
Instead of circumstance
Synchronicity reigns
For its all for the best
No matter the pain.
Because of the way
That I have appeared
Out of the flow of
Infinite years.
Secured in everchanging
Faces and thought
Each with its own
And apart it is not.
We shall find the peace
We’ve searched for so long
But know this my friend
I’ll take you along.
Copyright 11/30/96 Bennett E. Poinsett
How would you feel?
Poem & Song
How would you feel
If I sent you a dozen roses
How would you feel
If I jumped off a mountainside
How would you feel
If my heart it did so cry
And my heart it did so cry
And my eyes won’t be afraid
How would you feel
If I told you that I loved you
How would you feel
If I showed you that I cared
How would you feel
If you were the only girl
And my heart it did so cry
And my eyes won’t be afraid
And my eyes won’t be afraid.
