Chaotic
Sounds they surround,
from all around us.
Pockets keep chirping,
It’s seemingly endless.
The sounds keep a coming,
an endless march.
Our posture’s destroyed,
necks full of starch.
From daybreak through nightfall,
Something keeps ringing.
You can catch a reprieve,
If you listen to singing.
Di di di. Another article?
An e-mail from work.
Oh, a twittertator update,
Some say he’s a jerk.
We’ve formed a habit,
a dependency, an addiction.
These phones never stop,

That Fire
That fire, doth desire
That which fuels its flame.
That light, so bright
Consumes each single grain.
The flames, they lick
Oft times, they’ll stick
Eating, reaching higher.
They’ve walled this room
So full of mire,
And perched atop,
A glowing spire.
It crawls and trawls,
Flames lurch, then fall
Devouring that,
Which fell last Fall
Always fed,
Never stead.
Keeps moving, soothing
The fires’ pure anger
Just smoulders, brooding.
This light, intense.
Quick...
That which fuels its flame.
That light, so bright
Consumes each single grain.
The flames, they lick
Oft times, they’ll stick
Eating, reaching higher.
They’ve walled this room
So full of mire,
And perched atop,
A glowing spire.
It crawls and trawls,
Flames lurch, then fall
Devouring that,
Which fell last Fall
Always fed,
Never stead.
Keeps moving, soothing
The fires’ pure anger
Just smoulders, brooding.
This light, intense.
Quick...

Alternative Reality
We’ve formed-
a rift-
a societal drift-
blinded by noise-
through which we must sift,
to which we must fit,
on which we affix.
Storms, chaos-
crimes, screams-
don’t bother us none,
we’re here-
in our screens.
The Digital World-
c’mon Eve take a byte,
stare into your lap-
at man’s Creation of light.
In the beginning…-
some said it was nonsense,
but wait ‘til day two-
when we create Conscience.
We’ve replaced our monogamy-
with ill-gotten autonomy,

White lotus appear
Aloft, translucent brush strokes
Bright scene - I endear

daybreak’s sun - still lake
birds take flight - the rooster crows
he ensures all know

The Dazzling Night
Far off they glow
Seen solely from below
These heroes of our sky
Having outlived generations, dwell well beyond time
Resolute, unchanging
Stalwart their glow
Majestically dappling
Each night with their show
Today’s world doth ignore
Timeless pages of lore
Warriors, legends, heroes of old
The mighty, the just, and the bold
Even though surely they are
They’ll never grow old
Seen solely from below
These heroes of our sky
Having outlived generations, dwell well beyond time
Resolute, unchanging
Stalwart their glow
Majestically dappling
Each night with their show
Today’s world doth ignore
Timeless pages of lore
Warriors, legends, heroes of old
The mighty, the just, and the bold
Even though surely they are
They’ll never grow old

That March
Persistence, matched by none
Endless we watch, one by one
No pad can stymie nor clot the flow
I look behind me, where’d it all go
Continuing on beyond one life
Keeps pushing us forward, regardless of strife
It’s dark after all, same as when we were small
Those left behind, become more blind
Nothing stays around, not even a dime
That wench. That lark.
That relentless March.
Of never ending time
Is what makes life sublime
One chance, one shot, that’s all we’ve got
Perchance we ought, hold back for...
Endless we watch, one by one
No pad can stymie nor clot the flow
I look behind me, where’d it all go
Continuing on beyond one life
Keeps pushing us forward, regardless of strife
It’s dark after all, same as when we were small
Those left behind, become more blind
Nothing stays around, not even a dime
That wench. That lark.
That relentless March.
Of never ending time
Is what makes life sublime
One chance, one shot, that’s all we’ve got
Perchance we ought, hold back for...

Mythology of Cosmology
This world is exciting
Each day mesmerizing
Nature’s bounty doth thrive
Yet we forcedly drive
Drive the world to decay
Burning hay, skies turned gray
Ponds of waste, mountains of use
Our long-time Earthen abuse
Reaching back to our spawn
Ancient birth of the dawn
Our minds came alight
An aethereal slight
A Garden of life
No need, want, or strife
Sin began running rife
As we harnesses the light
Centuries have passed
Our virtues, they’ve crashed
In an eternal flame
Burning...
