Thunder-clouds
Dark clouds in pursuit overhead
Summer was fun
Now
Summer is gone

Beware The Company
Beware the company when going in
To the deep, the dark
The raw, the truth
Zoom in on the mark
Of wisdom, of knowing
Of humility, of silence
For once you are in
Through the dark shroud--
Words become silent not loud (enough)
Power is subtle, invisible
Info is subliminal, impossible
And the light wisdom gained
is heavy to keep
So yes--
Beware the company when going in
To the deep, the dark
The raw, the truth
Zoom in on the mark
Of wisdom, of knowing
Of humility, of silence
For once you are in
Through the dark shroud--
Words become silent not loud (enough)
Power is subtle, invisible
Info is subliminal, impossible
And the light wisdom gained
is heavy to keep
So yes--
Beware the company when going in

Dark Black, Light White
I am a loner in words--
A lover in deeds
Don't trust me;
Look close
You'll see
My dark white
And my light black
A lover in deeds
Don't trust me;
Look close
You'll see
My dark white
And my light black

Memory Lost
You gauge my feverish eyes,
Sick-to-death,
And you hide the medicine
And you serve the meth
A million hours
A million jokes
A million laughs-
All for naught
Sick-to-death,
And you hide the medicine
And you serve the meth
A million hours
A million jokes
A million laughs-
All for naught

Gasp
Gifts all around
freely given
and given freely...
now, even more aware
sense keenly
if you would hear-
Listen here,
"every gift is payed for."
(...look closely.)

Passive Being
Time declared war against you
deep into the night when you were
off guard, deaf, not listening-
It swore to never stop until your timely demise.
awake from deep slumber,
you heard whisperings and rumors,
you saw signs of its manifestation right after;
in people, in the news,
in your blood and in your thoughts
which came in the form of incurable infection
(What did you do then?)
You gave into fear- fear for what
failure might cost you
(heavy indeed is the price of failure)
if perchance you tried to stand on your right ...

A Prayer Just For You
May your head never be bowed
Even when it is bloody
May your eyes always see light
Even when it is foggy
May your ears never go deaf
Even when it is noisy
May your tongue always speak good
Even when you are angry
And may your heart be clad in gold
Filled with compassion and pity
Even when it is bloody
May your eyes always see light
Even when it is foggy
May your ears never go deaf
Even when it is noisy
May your tongue always speak good
Even when you are angry
And may your heart be clad in gold
Filled with compassion and pity

Of Trees And Flowers
Since life is not always easy
and abject failure is abundant
your gaze may begin to capture
ideas beyond the finishing touches of beauty
and your thoughts may start to fall
off the planes of (what is considered) “sanity”
at such tumultuous hours my friend
look to the trees not the flowers
and abject failure is abundant
your gaze may begin to capture
ideas beyond the finishing touches of beauty
and your thoughts may start to fall
off the planes of (what is considered) “sanity”
at such tumultuous hours my friend
look to the trees not the flowers

..
This road
Leads to nothing
that is
what the signboard says
We used to
Be not this empty
Laughed under the
Rain. (but you don't remember.)
...
We used to be fully
Alive
Even under
The moon
..
When did we
...Get here?
When will the cold
go away?
Have we given up
hope?
Are we
dead already?

Alone
The agonizing vibration in my heart speaks with a silent note,
Much like the wind
On my window pane,
"You are well and truly alone"
It hisses. Repeatedly.
I mean, I know I am alone and all
But never like this!
This is beyond solitude!
Beyond lonely!
This is deserving of a single word!
A single letter!;
I
....
So it is,
In time immemorial--
Sited here is a poetic mind-
a mortal soul like yours--
Do remember
the silence... and
I
...

What are the odds
...unwritten by words."
what are the odds?
that a mystery will fade
right after it is said.
he sees wonders
and keeps his words,
all the while he wonders;
"what are the odds?"

Silent?
Because there is nothing
worth the saying
talk-- talk
Now, nearly everyone that talks--
Talks. About. Nothing
worth the saying
talk-- talk
Now, nearly everyone that talks--
Talks. About. Nothing
