She Was Thinking

She was an athlete  
she was a leaper, a good one.
But today she wasn't leaping
'cause today she was thinking
 
to herself:
 
"The only leap worth taking is the one that never lands..."

Broken Tower

What do you see in a million years?
As I look all around me
And relay what I see;
I spy a broken tower
Of acid regret & soapy dreams
Sip pristine saline chandeliers
Held hostage by Iodine windowpanes
From which solemnly they hang
Candy coated doubt in curls of clouds
Thick & glazed like sugarcane
The sour shower of shame scours
Thy subconscious swirls with slumber
As I spy a broken tower
Plunge in a plethora of depravity
Swim in a sea of stupidity
Assassinate the stain of reality &
Sex up a puff of fantasy while the
Earth bleeds and the sky grieves
Crush the rose petals of reason
Damn,I forgot what it felt like to be
In love with Oblivion
As a lamb of my time I had no qualms
Oyster on a silver platter;
Buttered and ready to be devoured
However,it only took a second to dawn
I had to don a pair of red thongs
Before savoring the world in my palm
The storm drowning the calm
I drink the ink of my pain &
Swill the wine of deception
Into a Novocain rain
Let it pour for hours
Until the ground twinkles with stars
And the sky blooms in plush pillows of flowers
Lying awake at a haunted hour
I spy a broken tower.

After Paradise

In the garden which I roam
full of trees and flowers grown
live a multitude of creatures
all unique with splendid features
rivers that twist and entwine
a web that changes over time

As my needs have changed
this garden must be rearranged
for trees I need the wood
rivers have a tendency to flood
all these creatures roaming free
eat the food that’s meant for me

My castle it now stands
vast sways of concrete are my lands
plastic flowers I can’t eat
factories reproducing meat
once I had it all
after paradise I fall

Realistic and Sensible

I must change with the times,
I must heed the signs,
I can’t stand still no matter how much I will or pray,
I need to learn to be flexible,
Realistic and sensible,
Or else the tides will come up and sweep me away.

And when I go with the flow,
I should be able to grow,
I’ll recognize the world through someone else’s eyes,
For everything can be subjective,
Even when it’s defective,
Between right and wrong I will be able to compromise.

I will learn to be reasonable,
And that should be feasible,
I will be emotionally rational, casual, sure and secure,
And then just maybe then,
Once in a while, now and again,
I’ll be able to change the world with charisma and allure.

No lofty story, just one unreasonable man

His name was the 'no' man
started work
new place
old rules
abide
or
get tread upon

he frowned
kept his head
and
his headgear
on
in a place no one did either
prior

as usual
old bullies
came up
old tricks

he knew

to bring 'em down
no kicks
 
just the resolve

he being unreasonable
well that's what they thought
as someone with
determination
and dogged take no shit
attitude
came along

six years on

bullies fell
came new
them fell too
time flew
many things now new
at the same old
workplace

the idea
of comply
or die
had to die
because
one unreasonable man
did not

one edict
at a time
