MANUAL MANiA

MANUAL MANiA

Create upon a memory a Universe,

diverse in oh so many ways.

Knowledge requires rest for proper maintenance.

It takes great energy to acquire it.

Perseverance is a precious commodity.

It likes to swim sparingly.

The ability to learn is essential.

It admires persistence.

We may have been created as fools and some believe we are.

Fruit of the land, please lend us a hand.

We promise to stop the abuse.

We love to live on this land.

This may be just an excuse.

Wanting a tether, we fear an escape,

At least one which may take us far from where we are now.

One escape where we just might know if we may ever

be able to return back to normal.

Eating the fruit, bite after bite, we escape into a moon inspired roller coaster plunge crashing with wet maturity, infused by rapid fire sensations and melodramatic emotions, splattering ever so gracefully upon our wondrous desires as we feel the flickering of the effervescent moonlight inspired rush cascading into us from the frozen moments which I vaguely seem to remember were joyously inviting us to espouse and devour the bite sized doses we chose to partake in only a few fleeting and sparse lapsing moments ago.

Radioactive synchronicity is the latest art form or should I say craft. The steady tide of the ocean is marvelous, perilous and steady. Fresh water is bountiful and ever so full of divine grace and beauty.

We drink. We think. We love.

We learn. We do. We trespass.

We see a lot. We question a lot.

The lot will seldom change.

We must always remember to create a lot.

In oh so many ways, our plunge is over. We want to take it again. We can remember to keep swimming with the flow next time around. The scrapes we get always have a story to tell, a story to remember. A story for me, a story for you and a story for everyone else, as well.

Regrets, I'm ever so grateful for them all.

I'm looking forward to repeating them or

will I choose to learn the lesson, next time around?

Shifting into mania, driven by a purpose for possibly complete and total self destruction, I shift once more, oh boy, the clutch is broken!

Full speed action, straight ahead!

Baby, do you want to see me dead?

Did you ever remember what I've said?

What was that tasty fruit you fed, to me?

It was the manual mania, I see.

What have you managed to do to me,

this time around the track?

Oh yes, now I remember,

you chose to be Jill and I chose to be Jack.

ALL CREATiON iS DELiCiOUS

Adjusting my spine

to the rising morning sun.


I am naked in a kitchen.

The sky is clean and clear.


The sounds of the morning

are inviting.


“Rocky Raccoon” is playing on the boom box.

I go to sit on the sofa in the living room.


The police have been following me

since Saturday. I have yet to

sleep for the fifth night straight.

I have no inkling why . . .


I see the sun through the

blinds, shining, making

me warm. It's comfort

helps me. I am alone.


I've been praying constantly to

God. Last night he

watched over me.

i Am

i A m

I am - a person with a subjective mind.

I am - a person guided by his soul.

I am - a person rampaged by infested thought.

I am - a person always getting older.

I wonder if I may be

if I want to be,

a person of this world?

I wonder if I can,

maybe you'll understand,

and show me if you could...

...that I am a person always in decisive thought.

I am a person engaged to all my sin.

I am a person just like everybody else.

I am a person guided by a force within...

...Because, I am!

I understand I am.

I believe I am.

I know I am...

Full of imagination bringing forth my wisdom

and now I know the truth

and now I am the truth.

hidden from nothing and bare for all to see

I am human can't you see

glimpsing all infinity

I am immortality

if only some of you can see

my true, my true reality

I now am now

Yes, just somehow

and just for now.

I am nothingness
covered with everything!

Grade School Bully

When I went to Grade School

I was bullied by another.

When I went to Grade School

I was bullied by another.

By a boy in my class

He would threaten, threaten me.

By a boy in my class

He would take my money from me.

When I went to Grade School

I was bullied by another.

When I went to Grade School

I was bullied by another.

He said he would beat me

If I didn’t pay him every day.

He said he would beat me

If I didn’t pay him every day.

I got sick and tired of this

Bully pushing me around.

I got sick and tired until

This idea that I found.

I told my Principal

of the bully in my class.

Then pretty soon the bully

fell upon his stupid ass.

When I went to Grade School

I was bullied by another.

When I went to Grade School

I was bullied by another.

When I told the principal,

He put an end to this Bully fast.

This is now my bully story.

How long will your bullying last?

Kissing Thee

If One can tell the difference between The Sunrise & The Sunset, they will know we've been living in an eternal world of darkness and light.

The light is about to rise and
The Sunshine we've been accustomed to seeing will soon come
to it's natural end.

Breathing in, expanding and contracting, the darkness brings the dawn as we take another breath, the sunrise quietly begins rising in the east as the wind begins blowing its gentle summer breeze.

Rush up the mountain.
Dive into the sea.
Our world of sunshine kisses
the gentle mouth of Thee.

How can I know I'm living                                                                                                                            when whatever I do see,                                                                                                                                  is pointing to the love                                                                                                                                     of pure Divinity.

Whenever I do wonders                                                                                                                         Divinity gives me a kiss                                                                                                                               and whenever I do not,                                                                                                                                    it's Divinity I miss.

Nature gives us clues                                                                                                                                   each and every day                                                                                                                                       and Kissing Thee back                                                                                                                                     is what I'd like to do today.

I Do a great job of Hiding my Gold

and My Divinity.

I can hide it all day

up until Infinity.

I'm Nothing to watch.

I'm Nothing to see.

You can Discover me Anywhere

If you have My Key.

Look, Look up at

the Sun Shining,

Shining on Everyone.

Look, Look upon the Ground.

Please, Please tell Me what you've found.

Drink the water.

Eat the Fruit.

Faster Plunder.

Quicker Loot.

Divinity is shining on all of us

If one cares to see and

Infinity is sliced daily 

Just for you and me.

The Golden Sunshine is silent,

Yet we can feel it everyday. 

Divinity Infinity

There's not much more to say.

DESERViNG MY LOVE

DESERViNG MY LOVE

Anyone who goes out with a guy like me

deserves whatever she gets.

She deserves to be elated.

She deserves to

be deflated.

When she feels like she's dreaming,

just to wake up and see the

Sunshine beaming all over her face.

Is she a disgrace?

She looks in the mirror.

She sees what may appear.

She deserves me.

She deserves me.

I know what I see.

She deserves me.

She deserves me.

Is she the girl for me?

When she's done wrong,

She may be thinking that

I'll just stick around

for the long run.

What she doesn't know is

when I look in the mirror,
I'm the one saying I Love you.

I Love you and when I pray,

I do say, I Love you, Lord

Be with me and guide me for Today.

At night, I seem to discover

I got exactly what I deserved.

Just like everyone else.

I do truly thank you Lord.

Fill my heart up with

gratitude and rest.

Prepare me for a lovely new day

because I deserve every

lovely day I'm given.

May I be forgiven and given exactly
what I deserve for Today.

She Deserves me.

She Deserves me.

She can never see her crime.

She's in prison.

She's in prison.

Yet, She still still thinks she is mine.

She Deserves me.

She Deserves me.

She may cry out to The Divine.

She Deserves me

Cause she heard it,

Once upon a Time...

Now, its time to end this.

I Love you,

this is True.

She Deserves me.

She Deserves me.

and I deserve her, too.

A Gift For Us

A punishment, a curse and a blessing can be seen as the same if one knows how to perceive, discern and distinguish what they desire to see, feel or hear when each receives the gifts given to them.  The just and the right will always prevail. The present we each receive is the present we each deserve.  A truly righteous gift from above.  Either way, choosing to see a punishment, a curse or a blessing makes each of our present gifts special to each of us and each brings us closer to the God of our understanding.

Full of gratitude, we realize our smiling is a reflex of our joy.  Happiness is found and we know deep down, we must give it away.  Happiness belongs to us all and it's meant to be shared by everyone.  It's proof God is working in our lives.  He brings the happiness, sunshine, clouds, rain, the moon, the wind, the birds and bees, the waves in our oceans, the trees on our streets, our hunger, our pain and the breath we need again and again and again.

Our sadness, our tears and if we may ask, our years are continually laced with the Happiness God gives us all for a job well done.  Our hearts are an amazing ‘feeling creating factory’, pumping proper and just emotions throughout our living, loving and caring bodies.

We know the next right thing to do. 
It's God given.  This is where perception naturally has its place.  It's written all over our face.  We all know when we trespass.  We can discern and distinguish when we're to blame. We are always changing and ever the same. We always get what we deserve.

This is a natural God given equality. It's in our DNA and DNA is what we get when we perceive AND in a simple mirror, the mirror of each other we judge, perceive and learn to  DISCOVER:

Happiness, gratitude and love can be seen the same if, yes, oh yes, I'm starting this again!

Until next time,

Be good.

I'll see you in the present
and remember,
we always get
what we deserve.

We all have our own value.
We all get what we deserve.

A Little Branch of Love

A Little Branch of Love

I never wanted to leave you.

I never wanted to stay.

It felt comfortable to be with you

yet, you gave me pain every single day.

The pain you gave was loving

'cause I did help you in every way.

We never wanted to be together.

Our love just tempted us to stay.

We went through FIVE, yes FIVE

marriage therapists

'cause one wasn't enough.

I knew then you really loved me

in your own special kind of way

and you knew I loved you very much,

you wouldn't have it any other way.

We were not afraid to hurt each other.

We were not afraid to show our love.

We needed peace to guide us

and divorce became our Dove.

We both took and gave each other

exactly what we each deserved.

Now, we both are free

'cause you courageously chose

to Divorce me.

I told you freedom always has a price

and now I want to give you

something nice:

I realize you every time your

thoughts come into my mind

and before I do, this is what

I will usually always find:

There is sudden joy you

somehow always know

how to leave behind

and then I faintly hear

a message you sent to

me with this little singing bird.

This Dove does bring me peacefulness and then briefly seeks release.

So, I send our Dove ,with my love,

to fly away and be free.

You see,

you're also free.

Just like me.

Independence is what we both desire

and we both needed to be free.

I thank God for your courage, little lion 'cause now what I can see

is we're both a thought away

and we can let God be our way.

To send His little birdies

to fly around any time of day

and remember, 

just between the two of us:

Peace is here to stay.

With Love and free flying thoughts, 

John Tzortzis
