Often
I reached out
Often
I came close
Often
I pulled back
if
there was a way to change
wave
a magic wand
command
a jeanie
roll
a lucky dice
Take
me deep
Swallow
my pride
Tie
me down
Chain
me up
Let
bleed desire's fire
on
freedom's alter
before
sacred oaths
dissolve
saturn's grip that strangles silken whispers
before
YES is breathed
and
dies without belief
Like
I do
each
time I reach out
then
pull back

While
reviewing the past
the
way it was
how
we were
such
easy thoughts
nothing
ever to worry
I
realized
I
saw
I
knew
now
was just a cartoon
of
what would have been
if
we could have
been
now
then

Broke
the mode
of
who I was
now
you see
the
source of my shadow
the
end of my projection
the
face behind every mask.
Just
before
I
began a new day
another
era
a
beautiful me
alone
in flight
over
my broken mode.
So
the who you see
who
looks like me
but
acts so free
is
but master of ceremony
grand
performance
finally
on stage
with
little left to offer
but
the
way I am
again
NEW SITE = JULY 2014 - http://neuage.us/2014/July/ - Today
in
broken mode
once
again I am.

So
sure
that
this was the right direction
everything
always
had
led to this spot
until
we discovered
that
we weren't here
and
neither was the spot

We
drew a line
in
the sand
but
the tides
washed
us away
leaving
the line
that
we drew
dividing
us
from
being one
to
fight the tides
that
came
and
took us
away

Buried
treasures
like
hidden talents
leaves
us poor
and
all alone
with
no one
sharing
what
we'd have
if
hidden treasures
and
buried talents
weren't.

Shattered
illusions
Scattered
conclusions
Battered
delusions
dissolved
by the dawn of reason
Now
nothing is left
but
created reality
so
clear
I
can see forever
Hello
New Morning
Good
Bye every night

At
a final frontier
we
conquered fear
to

The
day after
The
night before
left
me
wanting
to wake with you
once
again
in
the day after

night before

This
year so quickly went
I
went back
to
do it once again
just
to know
it
really had happened.
12-26-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1565)
I
looked in the dictionary
to
find meaning
but
no explanation
cleared
up
my
wonderment
of
what
this
means
You
and I
three
words in the dictionary
one
in my mind.
12-26-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(512)
I
always thought
one
more would be enough
and
when it is
it
will be
But
for now
here
I am
only
one more
from
being enough.
12-26-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(288)
I
was wondering
what
will be the last word said
the
final line written
the
last caress
the
final bite
before
I die
then
I realized
I
wouldn't remember anyway
so
on I ramble
write
touch
and
eat
like
any eternal consumer
would

again
ABOUT

'Lucky

All

'Oh
No! Oh No!'
said
the tree
and
all the people stopped
to
question a tree
that
would talk
but
never more
did
that tree say
And
that is how
the
religion of the tree began
and
why everyone
chants
'Oh
No! Oh No!'

All
our possessions
are
but props
to

Cold!
Only
the physical body knows
take
away the cold
I'm
still here
take
away my body
the
cold remains
if
I could
I
would be
a
naked thought sitting on an arctic flow
and
diving into frozen illusion tundra
I'd
swim in the cold
and
pretend my body was with me
like
I do now
in
this cold world
I've
been given to wander.

Nature
brought forth humans
because
dinosaurs
couldn't paint
amoebas
wouldn't carry a tune
apes
refused to write poetry
and

The
reason we do everything
done
we
did
is
to look at it at the end
to
see if
we
did
it
correctly
since
the beginning.
12-27-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1467 A)
Like
a poem
going
no where
a
song
without
a tune
seeds
planted in the desert
and
love with no dawn
life
is
without
direction.
12-27-93

We
had so many backup plans
that
we crashed
backing
up
never
seeing
where
we were going.

Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1769)
While
looking for the perfect gift
silence
screamed at me
'GIVE
NOTHING

we
could get use to
getting
it early.

I
never wanted to be
anything
more
than
everything
that
you are
I
never wanted to be white
or
so poor
so
unknown
I'm
not even a part of history's pathways
but
if there weren't shadows like me
there
would never be
stars
like you.

The
last verse
was
in your purse
all
you had to do
was
open and see
but
you shot through
and
left me free
Yet
always the waves
reach
the horizon
poems
seldom rhyme
nature
does not understand humans
and
the last verse
was
in your purse
lost
with my heart
amongst
all the things
you
carry
wherever
you fly.

If
I said good night
would
that change the orbit of the sun
make
the collide with Mars
or
a garden snail learn to run
probably
not probably not
because
within preconceived ideas
giraffes
don't become butterflies
love
never dies
and
I don't hear you
saying
good night to me.

I
keep thinking it's a different day
another
life
who
opened the windows
and
let in
these
times
this
place
that
reflection
which
could never be
anything
more
than
a different day
another
life.
Often

Take

freedom's alter

sacred oaths

Woken
highway
reached
out
I
held on
through
the deserts
ofpver
rivers
into
mountains
This
highway
would
not listen to my pleas to stop
This
highway
had
heard desperate hooves
as
horses escaped in the 1800s
had
see Porches and Harleys
had
felt pain
joy
but
never aloneness
like
I so often have
This
highway
took
me to this realm
I
can not escape
my
family calls it madness
my
doctor - a genetic flaw
my
psychic said I was born to the highway
I
its slave
and
it will be this highway
at
the end of the tunnel
where
beings of light
will
throw me back
and
tell me to follow the highway
until
I know where it's headed
(like
if I would anyway - ever)
Now
I'm quite use to this highway which keeps going
into
other dimensions
like
I do
each
time I think of the road once traveled
the
road futures will travel
This
highway never ending.

I
wouldn't want to live on Venus
because
there are no trees
nor
on Mars with its lack of flowers

on earth
everything
I want
is
between the sea
the

far
from an oil slick

from
a stream

I

to
find these answers
that
everyone else
already
knows

As
if this moment could be preserved:
placed
in a safe-deposit box, frozen in space, cloned, kept intact
maybe
even used again
reincarnated,
transmigrated, resuscitated,
recycled
moments
in
another reality
a
paralleling toyed universe
where
earth-used moments
are
packaged and sold in day-fill programmes
Drive-thru-take-away-moment-services
'Yes
I will take three moments to go
two
yesterdays and one tomorrow'
And
I reach out to take a hold of a yesterday
the
moment we said good bye
in
hopes of renaming it and bringing it back to life
only
to discover the moment I wanted returned
had
been used by a patriot in an alternative drifting energy force
and
was no longer mine
to
have again
but
only to observe
in
mutational memory cells
reflecting
changing interpretation of
the
way it once was

Before:
After was known
When
storms were calm
Emotions
describable
And
colour bland
Answers
were easy
But
meaning wasn't.

Inside
wholeness
separation
is unknown
like

unknown
inside
wholeness
But
the results
are

Curtains
drawn
over
windows of time
left
imagination
without
a view
like
an unlit night
shows
what can not be seen
when
all that is revealed
is
nothing at all

In
the morning
I
looked forward to
meeting
the new me
that
I heard about
in
a dream
But
the new me
stayed
in the dream
while
mirror showed
the
same snapshot
it
had shown
every
other morning
fuzzy
wakefulness
far
from any dream thought possible

While
sharing one another
with
each other
We
traded lives
and
worked on correcting
all
the faults we had
perceived
in each other
before
we had traded lives
then
we traded back
only
to die laughing
at
what we had created
Perhaps
next time
we'll
just accept and not modify
live
and not die
and
share
and not trade

While
making way
for
new experiences
the
past was stored away
in
the attic
where
a spider
web-woven
devoured
the past
and
the present
ran
naked
knowing
such a fate
could
be escaped
if
experiences
no
longer were stored
away

Without
risk
a

would
have not begun to dance
with
questions
a

in
our galaxy
would
have not take a first deep breath
without

chaos
would have no joy
without
you
a
billion cells in my life
will
lose their spark.

Close
to where I want to be
But
never there
like
a future
reachable
not

hoped

not

seeable
But
only in a mist

covers
now
in
the never to be

Without
sounding
too
philosophical
spiritual

metaphysical
or
psychological
I
need you
like
any farmer

Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(2051 B)
I
thought nature
was
blushing
from
listening to me
speak
about you
But
it was dawn
that
was making nature come
with
such colour
not
my description of you
12-2-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(674)
sky
cleared
darkened
thoughts
blocking
dawn
so
morning could see
my
wish had come true
you
and I free of
darkened
thoughts
12-2-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1290)
Just
when I understood
how
the final piece fitted
when
nature cheered
exploration
showed meaning
changes
laughed in reason
I
awoke
to
see clouds disperse
love
leap forward
success
call my name
12-3-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(873 B)
I
use to think
I
was the luckiest person
on
earth
to
be with you
now
I realize
you're
the lucky one
12-3-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(742)
I
didn't notice
a
difference between
day
and night
until
you pointed out
that
is how
we
are
shooting
stars
gone
too far
passing
passing
we'll
know soon
which
we're like
which
we're not
but
sameness
is
left out doors
somewhere
between
day
and night

Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(321 B)
I
just thought we could stop
along
the coast of our first touch
atop
the mountain of desire first conquered
past
our first laugh over a whispering horizon
But
I just got a message from the dawn
saying
memory is better than promise
promise
is better than forever
forever
is better than forever
and
in circles
the
merry-go-round never strays
like
my feelings for you
always
changing
never
ceasing
always
finding
never
seeking
always
one
you're
never close
because
I'm always there
just
around a corner
in
the back of your memory
12-3-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(480)
I
wanted to be a legend
a
whisper amongst time's shadows
spoken
about in parliament
dreamt
of in alleys
cried
over
in
Delphi often
number
one on MTV
a
source of multiple orgasm\inner space colonization\political revolution
the
dawn at road's end
And
I was
somewhere
in time
12-3-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(778)
I
wanted to be safe
so
I gave you a single rose
instead
of promising the world
a
smile
rather
than tomorrow too
a
light touch
that
could never the place
of
all I wanted to give
beyond
a single rose
12-3-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(782 D)
I
wanted too much
such
a short time
to
try it all
have
a taste
devour
more than before
to
go every direction at once
But
I did
so
excuse the way I am
because
I wanted too much
and
it all I did
too
12-3-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(791 A)
I
tried to shake away
shadow's
memories
fallen
beliefs
and
dusty mirages
of
when you were
an
oasis to me
but
trials of now
lost
in forests of good byes
took
me to this corner
this
crossroad
this
space
where
I remember everything
no
matter how much
I try
to strike away
memory
will cast me forever
in
the starring role
I
had
once
with you
12-3-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(720 D)
The
cross of reason
tossed
experience into now
dreams
so real now weren't
feelings
once felt dissipated
wishes
just another book read
(the
seven seas just another pool swam)
The
cross of reason
forever
there
12-3-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1402 B)
The
only reason
nature
has let us
get
this far
is
because it needs
someone
to water the flowers
when
the rain
doesn't
flow
like
we do
when
together
the
dawn we touch

I
sang the same line
over
so many times
to
make it rhyme
You
were following a star
I
followed morning
crossed
visions left me alone
if
only I knew the tone
take
me
the
sea
I
will sail forever
fallen
forgotten endeavour
leave
me this moment free
for
all I can see
is
the remainder of me
12-4-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(614 B)
While
fading into you
I
grabbed on to
a
final portion of me
like
forever
takes
a final glimpse of
the
moment
12-4-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1975)
As
difficult as the moment appears
it
is nothing
compared
with
a
tree from a seed
a
president from a collision of sperm and egg
millions
of dollars from six numbers in the lottery
another
moment with you
12-4-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(61 C)
why
this is this way
mist
rises
rain
falls
winter
froze
you
touch
I
melt
this
way it is
tomorrow
too
it
will be
12-4-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(2033)
Time
came
when
window
showed
little more
than
thought cleared sky
echoes
whispered
shades
of colours
If
I knew the way
would
have smelt like
a
spring morning
when
we believed
winter
would never return
12-4-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1567)
"HOLD
THE MEMORY!"
I
yelled
this
isn't all
that
can be done
before
next moment new packages now into
'remember
when?'
and
pouring forth
more
than
better
than
I
watch the moment explode
shooting
forth
galactic
droplets
of
new moments
each
carrying
more
than
better
than
within
its form
12-5-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(282)
Focusing
on you
blurred
the surroundings
Your
life
nature's
victory
Your
senses
future's
promise
heightened
awareness
centred
on you
erased
everything else
the
game in front slipped away
yesterday's
storm blew out to sea
questions
became irrelevant
answers
dissolved
while
focusing on you
everything
became blurred
except
for you
12-4-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(217 B)
Still
trying to say
what
should be so easy
to
explain
how
forests
laugh
in rain
like
I do in you
how
the universe
took
15 billion years
to
bring forth
mobile
phones
and
only 30 years
you
how
your touch
makes
me
feel
like
a
christmas tree
waiting
to be
decorated
12-4-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1352 D)
I
reached through time
to
grab the bits
I
wanted tomorrow to be made of
like
any creator would
12-4-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(602 B)
I
planted an acorn seed
and
heard celery grow
in
its place
I
put my yacht out to sea
but
woke in the bath tub
with
a toy boat instead
the
weather report said
the
sun would shine
over
my tropical island NEW SITE = JULY 2014 - http://neuage.us/2014/July/ - Today
but
i had to shovel through
four
feet of snow
to
get to my papaya plantation
You
said you would stay with me forever
and
we haven't met yet
I
swam
when
I should have flown
cried
instead of laughed
chased
cars
dogs
were driving
stood
naked
in
a crowded subway
And
told secrets on Oprah's show
otherwise
everything
seems quite normal
12-5-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(602)
It
was funny the way
we
danced
along
the shore
in
the moonlight
you
sang of rainbows
when
no storm was in sight
I
collected shells
in
the night
looking
for pearls
looking
for love
looking
for what I'd wake with
if
we ever stopped dancing
long
enough to dream
of
the moment
like
anyone having
a
near-love experience
would
12-5-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(735 D)
In
clashing colours
we
found every difference
but
a taste
of
each experience
that
was free
in
clashing colours
12-5-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(558 C)
Rushed
through
all
we could have
Leaping
brushed-fired passions
devoured
us
you
opened
I
gave
you
cried
I
whispered
you
held on
I
let go
filling
you with every man's desire
ACCUMULATED
EVOLUTIONARY WANT
and
in the moment
all
creation held her breath
wondering
if such fulfillment
was
possible
as
we rushed through
all
we could have
in
one final release
that
is now
forever
imprinted
on my consciousness
a
mutating cell in all future creation.
12-5-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1232)
I
waited for the final song
one
last curtain call
a
good bye kiss
and
a passing caress
You
were to become a star
here
on earth
or
in the sky
I
never knew which
But
I knew
as
the applause faded
and
your whispers rang in my ears
that
what I wanted
what
you gave
what
I took
was
just a borrow
an
overdue loan
from
this stage
just
a further experience
and
without saying thank you
too
many times
I
salute you
and
ask for nothing more
but
an encore
before
this stage
dissolves
into
some
future production
12-5-93

If
nature
changed
her mind
as
often as I do
there'd
be blizzards in Pago Pago
spring
in the winter
the
sun would stop then go the opposite direction
cows
would give eggs on Tuesdays
flowers
on Friday
and
there'd be one of me for each day of the week
12-7-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage( 400 B)
Like
when no one notices
what
is
Is
the best performance possible
while
the rain washes away
the
stage
and
in suspended thought
birds
migrate
with
little notice
of
what is
is
the best performance
possible.
12-7-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(922)
Everyone
stood in line
waiting
to be selected
like
a best thought of the day
waits
to be realized
Friday
waits Thursday to end
a
rose waits to be given
and
I wait for you to see
I
have selected you
like
I hope you have me
12-7-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(188)
too
much junk mail
too
many sensational headlines
and
too few peaceful times
left
me looking for a comfortable seat
in
the midst of a tornado
just
to watch
not
be changed
12-7-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1617)
I
was ready
times
weren't
I
was there
space
wasn't
I
wanted you
you
didn't know
time
and space
didn't
exist
12-7-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(834)
One
step from the finish
I
realized
I
was in the wrong race
But
it was o.k.
because
I was only one step away
from
starting a new one
this
time correctly run
12-7-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1162)
I
made
a
hundred
photocopies
of
the moment
I
met you
and
hand
them out
to
myself
each
time
the
moment
tries
to
slip
away
12-13-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(553 B)
Here
we are
funny
to say
flowers
laugh
rain
screams
dove
for evening meal
but
though
maybe
it
is possible
funny
to say
we
never knew
that
it truly
is
this way
12-7-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(276)
I
was just getting warmed up
decades
of experience
(lay
like tumbled children's blocks)
picked
up and used again
to
make a bridge
recycled
experiences
led
me to be free once again
like
before blocks of life
began
to tumble
12-7-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(628)
each
moment chosen
like
ripen fruit
a
perfect gift
each
magical touch
the
taste of
new
fallen snow
and
the glow of a first touch
is
nothing but perfect
in
each moment chosen
12-13-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(169 B)
Surprised
by the movement
through
space
of
what I wanted
as
it pushed aside
all
resistance
and
made room in chaos
for
all
I
wanted
12-13-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1365 B)
Each
time I turn around
facing
direction's perspective
laughs
like time
in
the rain
does

Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(198)
On
the back of yesterday
I
wrote what happened
How
the morning exploded
day
gave meaning
freedom
flew
and
so did I
on
the back of yesterday
I
never wished for now
to
be so far away
from
then
and
remembered so well

Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(116)
There
were so many choices
I
fell asleep
and
dreamt each one
complete
that
is why
I
see rainbows
when
others see clouds
And
so should we.

A
close score
with
little time left
all
the players
waited
in evening's fading
light
as
the stars began to shine
to
make complete every game
that
no longer
needs
morning to show
winners
like
we do
each
time we touch

I
don't like art
I
don't like writing
that
is why I drew a poem
in
the sky
just
to watch it
disappear
like
I do
each
time I read
what
I write.

Like
any good audience
we
are still waiting for
the
punch line
2000
years later
12-17-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(908)
In
mistaken identities
trees
sprout wings
birds
grow roots
and
gravity tossed us into space
like
love
with
no way
to
keep us down to earth
12-17-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(565 B)
Morning
filled
night
before
breeze
returned
with

your
desire
still
fulfilling
bringing
now
with
your
return

If
only images
were
found
to
be real
I
would become lost
in
the image of you
12-22-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(405 B)
I
thought it was the end of the world
when
the changes began.
As
if time really cared
or
the sky would disappear
or
elephants would stop dancing.
12-22-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(66 B)
With
no time left
I
asked to spend forever with you
With
no space
I
asked
if
there was room for me
In
the frozen wastelands
I
looked for a tropical taste of you.
12-22-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(2043)
I
have given you
all
the great lines
but
we have yet
to
dance
I
have shown all the possibilities
you
have yet to show any
I
have visited the stars
you
are still here
and
the point is
we
never go
beyond
our own
perspective
12-22-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(462)
While
focusing on you
I
lost sight
of
everything else
that
is why
I'm
wet
from
walking into the sea
thinking
I was walking
into
you
That
is why
I'm
bleeding
from
cutting myself in two
on
a mirror
I
was hanging
thinking
it was you
That
is how
I
became lost
thinking
I had found you
focusing
too
on
me.

We
touched the stars
before

NOW
without

It's
o.k. to take a break
waste
some time
take
a nap
go
for a walk
fondle
the

more
years
and
so can we
or
at least
some
part of
us

Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(732)
We
are always
While
pushing past the limits once believed
I
tossed away bewilderment with
'I
don't think it is possible'
touching
space and understanding it too
so
that all achievments until now
were
nothing more
than
cave paintings
just
some muddled hieroglyphics
like
old age without reason
But
that's all behind
back
in humanity's nursery book stage
Freedom
is the real frontier
with
fear of guilt and misplaced beliefs
being
the savage native
hiding
in the psychic
waiting
to attack free thinking
with
primitive weapons
of
guilt, fear, and mysticism
But
it is too late
freedom
to know will conquer
and
push the only true-value frontier open
so
every universe
without
secret
is
left bare
to
enter
and
have

I

came quickly before summer's settled passions
oaths
were whispered as spring sown seeds settled passions
the
times surely so seemingly sullen
would
be remembered when now
would
be read as ancient history
inventions
failing prospering believers
found
anything to hold onto gelatinous as first love
But
there is the future no one knows everyone predicts
Though
no one is quite correct
Touch
my mind in pulled forth desires
dig
deep death's dwindling demand
take
changes
reshape
nature's woken woven womb
whisper
to the deaf
wave
to the blind
walk
with the lame
wake
the dead
wonder
what was where when no one was there
Fleeing
freedom fondles the enslaved
shackles
clasp the different
But
for all the troubles
all
the worries
all
the struggles
That
this all important tragedy firmly hangs onto
Nothing
can be greater that to know some day
This
moment will be viewed as but a hiccup in nature
when
changes came quickly
and
oaths were whispered only to never be harvested
The
future came too fast to think of now as anything more
than
a passing shadow eclipsed

ecstasy of every experience
pulsating
in one Grand Moment
I
would be your knight, love, knight, love, king, slave,
fool,
hero...
even
a new-age male
if
such a perversion
was
your wish
Oh!
I'm sorry
you
just were asking me what time it was
here,
in front of the caulaflowers and parsley
at
the supermarket

Caught

without

without dreams
caught

Forgotten
once
again
like
watching life pass too quickly
without
holding onto
passing
reality
nothing
comes to be forgotten
and
a man in the last row
waves
his hands and yells
"forgotten
I'm
forgotten"
But
no one hears him
as
the crowds huddle together
trying
to remember
what
they had forgotten
11-9-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(218 b)
I
tossed away meaning
like
I do apple cores
But
it's o.k.
the
seeds will grow
and
produce meaning
like
I once did
before
tossed away moments
were
used for the landfill programme
at
the edge of the swamp
to
build skyscraping apartments
for
people to sit in
wondering
why there were so many memories
tossed
about.
11-9-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(692)
So
much the end here:
less
likely futures' glimpse
echoes
momentary freedom;
and
here brought forth meaning
holds
wind chimes'
rhyme
nature's
time
the
end falls
from
sight
the
past strips naked
and
sun bathes alongside memory's reflected copulation
HEAR
so
much the end.
11-18-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1332)
When
the patterns changed
so
much the end looked clear
everything
was answered
time
lost prescription space discovered dimension
all
figured out the way it should be
why
it never is I don't recall
each
time a different ending
still
the same
always
far from the way it should be
if,
all-figured-out
was
true.

While
building on what went before
I
saw tomorrow
glance
around the corner
and
thank me
for
the foundations

Too
late the thaw
when
winter's open door
lays
waste
hasty
autumn's retreat
and
ice slices
fields
of harvest forgotten
too
late too late
like
life known
and
frozen in winter's
crystal
memory
waiting
for spring
like
every lover does
11-17-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1540)
While
laughing at the changes
even
making believe they weren't real
this
moment took flight
with
me in tow
And
I have no intention of every returning
to
say
these
changes now
are
anything more
than
forever lost in flight.

WELL!
The
point never was anything
anymore
than not appearing
in
changing beliefs:
Like

filling
in

I stay behind

More

Surprised
the
prize rises
but
no one held their breath
the
wind blew instead
in
its tortured
swallowed
way
surprise
surprise
silently
the moment explodes
ripping
satin covered dreams
and
ravaged virgin thoughts
Take;
me
Give
me
There
is no exchange
when
new born hope drowns
where
too the end?
never
knows who to tell

Changes
like

Perception

I
take all the concepts

forth in a philosopher's

While
searching through
memories
on file
I
accessed the spring dawn
when
we rose out of our selves
in
tune to the sound of our breath
that
echoes now
through
a deep memory of long ago
and
where are you now

The
most creative moment of the day
is
a moment before we awake
when
the waking hours are designed
then
hidden behind the screen of back-on-earth again
like
when we were born
and
to change that moment
would
be to change
creation
itself
which
my dog told me
just
before I awoke
this
morning
that
is not our lot to do
probably
4-27-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1410)
unlike
other poets
who
try to sound all flowery, rhyming, mystical, and abstract
I
prefer to write down-to-earth-truck-driver's-poetry
like
'hey,
where ya goin' baby?
how
about some real lovin' tonight'
and
no poet has ever said it
quite
as beautiful as that.

We
began where we left off
only
the century had changed
Now
there are flying things
with
people in them

mechanical monsters
carrying
the people
doing

yeap
it was different
but
we are the same

full
of worry
that
missing you

I
slept standing up
while

on its side
watching

Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(8
Like
a cloud-free
wind
strewn sea
I
reached to be free
But
a dawn hugged horizon
showed
me
BOUND
and ALONE
to
WISHES and DREAMS
that
filtered through
passing
times
when
voices believed
merged
with my final thought
sinking
this

with
me
gasping
for a new philosophy
that
made sense

my drowning world.

waiting
for love
is like
waiting for a computer to load
with
so much memory

that
no end is ever to be

So
cold
sun
so far away
night
so close
of
ever I'm warm again
I'll

my

my
frozen perceptions

if

has

it
then is a philosophy

I
don't know why

Not
enough time?
where'd
it go ?
Not
enough space?
who
filled it up?
not
enough love?
why'd
they take more than their share?
painted

we
ate the colours
trying
to fill time
erase
space
wash
away loneliness
And
that is why
I

your

again

your smile
foreign

This

I
am just like this

your

my

of
packaged feelings
placed
away
for
a rainy day
when
I'm without you.

spent
the day
sitting
in a warm bubble bath
watching
life's truths
ricochet
off bubbles
unlike
my children
Though
I was being lazy
not
making their meals
sewing
clothes
cleaning
house
But
I worked very hard to find truths
here
in the bubble bath
and
the truth is
it
is better in here
than
out there.

Without

we
can never

translated my feelings

in

that
I forgot

and
I'm left incoherent
like

it
was as if tomorrow had never had happened

The
problem with my writing
is
that it begins
before
it ends
just
like us
now
at
our beginning
7-9-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1424 C)
stayed
awake
when
I went to sleep
to
see
where
dreams begin
and
I discovered
the
truth
dreams
are televised broadcasts
from
a planet of a neighboring star
and
their electronic waves
always
passing through the earth
are
on the same frequency
as
our dreams
so
it's obvious that what we dream
is
just so many soap opera
from
a distant star

Sitting
side-saddled
on
a shadow
should
show
shades
of substance
finally
found
so
fulfilled
But
as times travel
so
do shadows
never
showing
which
side
is
best
like
love
and
the morning after
and
shadows of fences
yet
to hurdle

I
thought you were
someone
else
than
you are
You
thought I was someone different
than
I really am
so
our someone else
got
together and had a real good life

have
had a terrible time
being
together
wondering
why we weren't
someone

The
good poets
write
about
Zeus,
buffaloes, dew, trees, morning
But
since no real man
is
really a poet
I
write only about
nails,
hammers, chopping trees,
footy,
beer, and trucks
Because
no one
wants
sensitive
when
they can be a man

While
waiting for fame
I
lived and died
and
left behind
nothing
at all
Because
I found fame
on
a distant galaxy
that
will last a lot longer
than
this short lived galaxy
our
short lived sun
spends
its short life
shinning
on
a
short lived planet.

Behind
the mountains
Beyond
the sea
in
the depths we believed
Bright
birth borrowed

The
evolution of belief
brings
little relief
when
the beginning
is
unknowable
until
now
But
for $4.95 plus $5.50 postage and handling
all
the answers
will
be questioned
and
if you act now
a
free match will be given
for
evolution of belief
to
return
to
the ashes it first rose from

Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1402 A)
while
empty of thought
I
caught
a
meaningless pattern
shapeless
as love
when
first met
I
placed it in a motionless container
while
rain outside suspiciously fell
and
wrote in a cloud above it
'Beware
- meaningless pattern near'
but
the rain erased my sign
and
flooded my empty thoughts
So
if I pretend to understand
and
smile awhile
remember
so
I won't have to next line

To
say what everyone wants to hear

needs
met

Sun
rises
rain
falls
river
flow
mountain
sit
while
the rest of us
run
around in circles
sorting
our selves out.
If
we know something nature doesn't
should
we say
'hey,

got it all figured out'
or
should we let nature
continue
along
without
our help

Without
words

we
wouldn't know

And
I would be unable
to
say Mars is covered
with
tomato soup
the
moon was of green cheese
Venus
- lettuce
and
Pluto is made from tofu

we
live in an edible section

whether we are dessert
or
the main course
I
can not really say

EMPTY
that
is the only explanation
FULL
is
the goal
LOST
is
the way
pieces
lay alongside the road
huddled
together in hysteria
the
state of the condition
is
frozen within its code
laughter
screams in baroque sonnets
it
will be o.k.
it
will be o.k.
the
earth will shatter at mid-day
splintered
with all its wisdom
art,
poetry and good sex
into
so many empty pieces
by
some love lost comet
and
no one will know
that
once we cared

Final
moments exit

I
tripped over reason

much
I

worrying

now
like
the endless line
of

firewood

Passions
flame
quickly
came
like
youthful desire
burns

turns
to ash
then
to dash
off

another

The
fools have died again
traded
their life
for
a belief
fought
wars to protect dreams
crucified
themselves for faith
sacrificed
their lives
thought
we all cared
those
left behind
playing
at the casinos
dancing
at the discos
tasting
love along the shore
they
don't care
what
the dead believe
while
they lay bleeding
with
some noble delusion\
floating
in their head
we
the living are the heroes
because
we knew enough
not
to fight the losing battle
that
death always is
7-1-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1402)
Death
loves nature
in
cycles of birth
nourishing
eternal sleep
society
endures suffering
and
calls it purpose
the
reason to continue
for
lessons to learn
then
quickly forgotten
when
death loving nature
takes
one's final breath
so
to suffer si so wrong
to
love one forever will never be
right
morals and happy thoughts die too
when
death loving nature
takes
the final breath that had happened
for
something more
at
the end of this life
than
a grave that no one can ever free
themselves
from
neither
to walk heaven's golden streets
or
sweat hell's guilty flames

What
is poem if not to question?
Written
in stops and gaps

but
meaning gone astray?

waiting

on
a casket made for the living
What
a waste the dead are
filling
cemeteries
where
skyscrapers of offices and frenzied secretaries
or
a freeway or a new bowling alley
could
be put in place instead
Shame
on the dead
leaving

I die I wouldn't be her any longer
take
my body
the
good parts give 'em to someone alive
and
the rest feed to the lions
at

for
once long ago
I
was a Christian and the lions still remember
when
I am dead and all this is left
is
my crying children and scribbled poems
do
not wrap my death and fill the ground
to
shelter my bones

funerals are for the living

me back to the slavery of the womb

at least this hot bubble bath
where
I lay in evolution's start
was
it not out of a warm bubble bath
that

out

for now like in the beginning

Close
to the end
meanings
so poignant
that
the thought will last a thousand years if not more
If
God came to earth 2000 years ago
wow!
why
didn't he make a video of it?
why
go through the dark ages
(the
years before television)
without
seeing the way it was
why
didn't the crusaders
have
land Rovers and laser weapons?
Why
didn't Jesus use a microwave oven?
to
warm the food for the 500,000 at Woodstock?
Why
didn't Caesar become a game-show host?
Why
walk on water when one can use a hover craft and skim the top?
who
changed the water to wine to blood
at
Sarajevo, Belfast, La and in the Townships?
Why
didn't the twelve disciples
form
a baseball team instead of just getting stoned?
Why
didn't the Church build football stadiums instead of churches?
Why
would one leave the job of making billions of suns - many with
earth
like planets - and come to our earth?
Well
it is all so obvious
God
did leave videos
and
when they are discovered (beneath my house)
I
can say
'see
I told you so'

don't struggle

aborted consciousness does

it is too late
freedom

Childhood
spent
childhood
saved
childhood's
woven parts
superglued
together to remember
the
moment each piece was a part of something bigger
that
went broom broom click click
tick
tick like a clock
(that
measured the passing days of childhood)
Children
never grow old
they
just sprout wings and fly away
returning
now and then
to
look at how everything
once
was together
once
was a part of a movement
once
was a part of everything that really mattered
until
like
sections of life they were reassembled
in
a mosaic of memory
just
abbreviations of symbolic wholes
where
one piece represents
what
was played with for weeks at a time
in
the labyrinth of childhood
and
now is but a collage
on
one of the walls of my life.

While
stretching logic
like
some do the truth
I
noticed an empty explanation
in
the corner of a theory that could have unified it all
so
now I am proud to present
the
X factor that will unify all of existence
that
holds it all together
that
was there at the Big Bang
and
will be there at the Big Crunch
and
the little nibbles afterwards
and
wait for it
it
is laughter
that
holds it all together
Because
it is true (I was there)
the
beginning of this present universe
started
with a sneeze in the middle of a laugh
and
all the galaxies
are
just droplets from that sneeze

Changes
came quickly before summer's settled passions
oaths
were whispered as spring sown seeds settled passions
the
times surely so seemingly sullen
would
be remembered when now
would
be read as ancient history
inventions
failing prospering believers
found
anything to hold onto gelatinous as first love
But
there is the future no one knows everyone predicts
Though
no one is quite correct
Touch
my mind in pulled forth desires
dig
deep death's dwindling demand
take
changes
reshape
nature's woken woven womb
whisper
to the deaf
wave
to the blind
walk
with the lame
wake
the dead
wonder
what was where when no one was there
Fleeing
freedom fondles the enslaved
shackles
clasp the different
But
for all the troubles
all
the worries
all
the struggles
That
this all important tragedy firmly hangs onto
Nothing
can be greater that to know some day
This
moment will be viewed as but a hiccup in nature
when
changes came quickly
and
oaths were whispered only to never be harvested
The
future came too fast to think of now as anything more
than
a passing shadow eclipsed

ecstasy of every experience
pulsating
in one Grand Moment

even

once
again
like
watching life pass too quickly
without
holding onto
passing
reality
nothing
comes to be forgotten
and
a man in the last row
waves
his hands and yells
"forgotten
I'm
forgotten"
But
no one hears him
as
the crowds huddle together
trying
to remember
what
they had forgotten

I
tossed away meaning
like
I do apple cores
But
it's o.k.
the
seeds will grow
and
produce meaning
like
I once did
before
tossed away moments
were
used for the landfill programme
at
the edge of the swamp
to
build skyscraping apartments
for
people to sit in
wondering
why there were so many memories
tossed
about.

So
much the end here:
less
likely futures' glimpse
echoes
momentary freedom;
and
here brought forth meaning
holds

rhyme
nature's
time
the
end falls
from
sight
the
past strips naked
and
sun bathes alongside memory's reflected copulation
HEAR
so
much the end.
11-18-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1332)
When
the patterns changed
so
much the end looked clear
everything
was answered
time
lost prescription space discovered dimension
all
figured out the way it should be
why
it never is I don't recall
each
time a different ending
still
the same
always
far from the way it should be
if,
all-figured-out
was
true.

I hadn't eaten tomorrow
there'd
be something
for
the rest of you all
to
look forward to
but
since there isn't
I'll
take your praise NEW SITE = JULY 2014 - http://neuage.us/2014/July/ - Today

remember you well

creativity
is a natural
mutation
of nature
free-will
is its mutinous crew
and
we
the
passing strangers to this life,
the
disillusioned captains
looking
for a better course

love
is a bird

love
is an experiment
that
nature evolves with while
philosophy,
religion, psychology
politics
and the economy
are
the stumbling blocks
after
the hurdles
on
the way
to
love's tasteful experiment

I
take all the concepts
put
forth in a philosopher's
life
and
sum it up in a few lines
and
feel good for all the trees saved
instead
of explaining in volumes of books
'ain't
she nice?
and
that's why we're here folks...'

The
new empirical theory of blind love
is
you and me
out-of-sight
out-of-mind
together

While
searching through
memories
on file
I
accessed the spring dawn
when
we rose out of our selves
in
tune to the sound of our breath
that
echoes now
through
a deep memory of long ago
and
where are you now

In
forests of forgotten flavours forever forgives foreign freedom for fighting

The
most creative moment of the day
is
a moment before we awake
when
the waking hours are designed
then
hidden behind the screen of back-on-earth again
like
when we were born
and
to change that moment
would
be to change
creation
itself
which
my dog told me
just
before I awoke
this
morning
that
is not our lot to do
probably

unlike
other poets
who
try to sound all flowery, rhyming, mystical, and abstract
I
prefer to write down-to-earth-truck-driver's-poetry
like
'hey,
where ya goin' baby?
how
about some real lovin' tonight'
and
no poet has ever said it
quite
as beautiful as that.

We
began where we left off
only
the century had changed
Now
there are flying things
with
people in them
and
mechanical monsters
carrying
the people
doing
the work
yeap
it was different
but
we are the same
I
suppose
everyone
really
is
at
night with the lights out
it
could be 400 BC still
and
you would taste just as good

I
went to count my money
like
I once did my women
OH
NO!

again

full
of worry
that
missing you
would
blind me
from
starting over
with
someone else
who
someday I'd miss too
like
I once did
and
now worry
will
never stop
you

I
showed everything I felt
lucky
for me
the
President said
it
was just another
nuclear
accident

Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(649 G)
I
waited to see if anything
would
ever become of me
before
accepting my fate
to
be kind of all the local galaxies

In
my humble opinion

If
we had stopped saying
this
is too difficult
in
1777
let's
go home for tea
we
wouldn't be
watching

I
was so sleepy
I
slept standing up
while
the world
lay
on its side
watching
5-1-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(8
Like
a cloud-free
wind
strewn sea
I
reached to be free
But
a dawn hugged horizon
showed
me
BOUND
and ALONE
to
WISHES and DREAMS
that
filtered through
passing
times
when
voices believed
merged
with my final thought
sinking
this
wind stream sea
with
me
gasping
for a new philosophy
that
made sense
to
my drowning world.

waiting
for love
is
like waiting for a computer to load
with
so much memory
and
functions
that
no end is ever to be
unless
it becomes unplugged
and
has no back up batteries.

So
cold
sun
so far away
night
so close
of
ever I'm warm again
I'll
save it
at
least
in
memory
so
that when I'm so cold anew
my
memory will thaw
my
frozen perceptions
that
chill me so now

if
love
has
to
be
explained
it
then is a philosophy
6-3-9
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(40)3
everything
we do
is
just a preliminary
for
when
there
is nothing
left
to do
6-3-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(196)
I
don't know why
can't
explain it now
perhaps
never will
but
life never ends
only
perceptions
of
the moment end
like
this verse
one
line at a time

Not
enough time?
where'd
it go ?
Not
enough space?
who
filled it up?
not
enough love?
why'd
they take more than their share?
painted
greatness?
we
ate the colours
trying
to fill time
erase
space
wash
away loneliness
And
that is why
I
am here
you
are not

packaged
feelings
on
tour
your
love
my
souvenir
come
again
like
your smile
foreign
visa
desire's
passport
This
is not the real me
I
am just like this
because
I'm on holiday
your
touch
my
souvenir
of
packaged feelings
placed
away
for
a rainy day
when
I'm without you.

spent
the day
sitting
in a warm bubble bath
watching
life's truths
ricochet
off bubbles
unlike
my children
Though
I was being lazy
not
making their meals
sewing
clothes
cleaning
house
But
I worked very hard to find truths
here
in the bubble bath
and
the truth is
it
is better in here
than
out there.

poems
like
dreams

Without
amnesia
we
can never
know
youth's passion again
like
a flower closed
would
open again
if
it chose
to
break free
of
what it perceived
to
be its only way
to
be

I
translated my feelings
for
you
in
so many ways
that
I forgot
which
language
you
understand
and
I'm left incoherent
like
love is

it
was as if tomorrow had never had happened
and
what
we
were looking forward to
was
yesterday
before
time had yet to discover
liberality.

The
problem with my writing
is
that it begins
before
it ends
just
like us
now
at
our beginning
7-9-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1424 C)
stayed
awake
when
I went to sleep
to
see
where
dreams begin
and
I discovered
the
truth
dreams
are televised broadcasts
from
a planet of a neighboring star
and
their electronic waves
always
passing through the earth
are
on the same frequency
as
our dreams
so
it's obvious that what we dream
is
just so many soap opera
from
a distant star

Sitting
side-saddled
on
a shadow
should
show
shades
of substance
finally
found
so
fulfilled
But
as times travel
so
do shadows
never
showing
which
side
is
best
like
love
and
the morning after
and
shadows of fences
yet
to hurdle

I
thought you were
someone
else
than
you are
You
thought I was someone different
than
I really am
so
our someone else
got
together and had a real good life
while
the real you and me
have
had a terrible time
being
together
wondering
why we weren't
someone
else
together

The
good poets
write
about
Zeus,
buffaloes, dew, trees, morning
But
since no real man
is
really a poet
I
write only about
nails,
hammers, chopping trees,
footy,
beer, and trucks
Because
no one
wants
sensitive
when
they can be a man

While
waiting for fame
I
lived and died
and
left behind
nothing
at all
Because
I found fame
on
a distant galaxy
that
will last a lot longer
than
this short lived galaxy
our
short lived sun
spends
its short life
shinning
on
a
short lived planet.

Behind
the mountains
Beyond
the sea
in
the depths we believed
Bright
birth borrowed
tomorrow
thinking
forever was a circle
now
that we know better
we
can rest easy
and
live now
like
we are
in
the midst of forever

The
evolution of belief
brings
little relief
when
the beginning
is
unknowable
until
now
But
for $4.95 plus $5.50 postage and handling
all
the answers
will
be questioned
and
if you act now
a
free match will be given
for
evolution of belief
to
return
to
the ashes it first rose from
6-12-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1402 A)
while
empty of thought
I
caught
a
meaningless pattern
shapeless
as love
when
first met
I
placed it in a motionless container
while
rain outside suspiciously fell
and
wrote in a cloud above it
'Beware
- meaningless pattern near'
but
the rain erased my sign
and
flooded my empty thoughts
So
if I pretend to understand
and
smile awhile
remember
so
I won't have to next line

To
say what everyone wants to hear
like
the great Australia statement
is
the only reason
all
else
will
be fillers
until
that time

As
complex
the
future may be:
life
will be simple
needs
met
wishes
answered
dreams
controlled
with
instant answers
perfect
solutions
yet
still no cure
for
love
will
exist
which
is little
different
than
in
the beginning

Sun
rises
rain
falls
river
flow
mountain
sit
while
the rest of us
run
around in circles
sorting
our selves out.
If
we know something nature doesn't
should
we say
'hey,
we're humans
we
got it all figured out'
or
should we let nature
continue
along
without
our help

Love
like a sun rise
happens
every day
but
only if we're awake
do
we experience it

While
swimming
to
the end of this dream
I
encountered reality
floating
on top
in
a bubble
but
like all reality
it
popped
on
closer inspection
6-13-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1811 E)
Without
words
without
birds
we
wouldn't know
a
sentence in flight
And
I would be unable
to
say Mars is covered
with
tomato soup
the
moon was of green cheese
Venus
- lettuce
and
Pluto is made from tofu
(or)
in general
we
live in an edible section
of
the milky way
but
whether we are dessert
or
the main course
I
can not really say
6-13-93
Victor Harbor copyright Terrell Neuage(1819 H)
EMPTY
that
is the only explanation
FULL
is
the goal
LOST
is
the way
pieces
lay alongside the road
huddled
together in hysteria
the
state of the condition
is
frozen within its code
laughter
screams in baroque sonnets
it
will be o.k.
