Major Arcana
don't fear the Tower card
let the unstable dwelling
in which you were barely welcomed
burn to the ground
since you are not in it
you will not die
you will be reborn
and as the smoke clears
you will see
not patches of blue sky
but a heaven's worth
and without that massive cold structure
a magnificent view
let the unstable dwelling
in which you were barely welcomed
burn to the ground
since you are not in it
you will not die
you will be reborn
and as the smoke clears
you will see
not patches of blue sky
but a heaven's worth
and without that massive cold structure
a magnificent view

On The Last Day Of November
The half moon
Hung heavily
In the night sky
Watching over
As another month dies
Sitting on the periphery
On the eve of December
No doubt
They'll be much to remember
And to forget
But i shall await
And see
As it hasn't happened
Just quite yet
by Jemia

a fleeting night
Killing man’s fleeting time does not, in any way, or by any means, injure
God’s brief eternity.”—Clyve A. Bowen (after Henry David Thoreau)
time limits on my hands,
ere swift eternity runs out
and i am left with burdens that cannot never cross the line.
new heavens and new strands,
bound not by frail passe-partout,
bid finite man infinite streams cross to his rest divine.
how temporal my plight,
tho hungry, naked, and bereft
i tangle with vicissitudes of seasons and of times!
this is a fleeting night;
let me withstand...
God’s brief eternity.”—Clyve A. Bowen (after Henry David Thoreau)
time limits on my hands,
ere swift eternity runs out
and i am left with burdens that cannot never cross the line.
new heavens and new strands,
bound not by frail passe-partout,
bid finite man infinite streams cross to his rest divine.
how temporal my plight,
tho hungry, naked, and bereft
i tangle with vicissitudes of seasons and of times!
this is a fleeting night;
let me withstand...

The Fate of Words
A lustful romance
Probes the mind
Singing and dancing
It searches the castle
For the rarest of words
Those specially reserved for
magic, love, elegance and dance
It carefully tailors them for a form fit
Buffs them to a high shine
Curates them until they’re worthy of their message.
Then sends them off with a kiss
Melancholy
Retreats to the dungeon
Finds words long starved and left for dead
Lines them up in haphazard order
Then marches them out in the cold
To execute their duties

Mal’s Will
Mal won’t let me build
Mal won’t let me break
Haunting me with her presence
How long this gonna take
Lost in deep sleep and sweet dreams
Then instantly I’m before the alter of the demon queen
In the dreamworld displaying two braids and new J’s
That look in her eyes was all she had to say
Magneto bending steel
Tryin to run from cerebro…and Mal’s Will
Laid in, days in
Exhausted from pain bathed in
Still has my mind In check on the board of chess
Bleed out every beat from that thing in my chest ...
Mal won’t let me break
Haunting me with her presence
How long this gonna take
Lost in deep sleep and sweet dreams
Then instantly I’m before the alter of the demon queen
In the dreamworld displaying two braids and new J’s
That look in her eyes was all she had to say
Magneto bending steel
Tryin to run from cerebro…and Mal’s Will
Laid in, days in
Exhausted from pain bathed in
Still has my mind In check on the board of chess
Bleed out every beat from that thing in my chest ...

Finding Somewhere
I have just enough gas
To drive us to nowhere
The middle distance from everywhere
Where it’s dark and calm
There’s no more nowhere to find
And we’re sure to find no one there
In a pitch black field of silence
When there’s nothing but nowhere everywhere
Somewhere lies in every direction.
The faintest of distant flames
Is a beacon of the possible
Guiding our way to someday
To drive us to nowhere
The middle distance from everywhere
Where it’s dark and calm
There’s no more nowhere to find
And we’re sure to find no one there
In a pitch black field of silence
When there’s nothing but nowhere everywhere
Somewhere lies in every direction.
The faintest of distant flames
Is a beacon of the possible
Guiding our way to someday

Last Goodbye
I’ll put my arms around you
Kiss you goodbye
No one needs to see us cry
You used my heart
To control my mind
Let me take your hand
Just one more time
Dance with me by the fire
I’ll push your hair back
So you can remember my eyes
Then walk me to the gallows
Hold my lantern
Take my watch
Turn around
Say goodbye
Kiss you goodbye
No one needs to see us cry
You used my heart
To control my mind
Let me take your hand
Just one more time
Dance with me by the fire
I’ll push your hair back
So you can remember my eyes
Then walk me to the gallows
Hold my lantern
Take my watch
Turn around
Say goodbye

The Apology
I wrapped myself in melancholy, as I wore a mental hue a shade of red. A faded red rose petal plucked from the garden of young love. I keep it pressed next to my heart as a memorial of what once was; a tangible metaphor of a dove...loves sacred animal, soaring high within the catacombs of my psyche sitting under starless skies skating on the edge of a crimson red razor blade balancing between reality and fiction wondering if you just loved me or were truly in love with me is my daily affliction.
I often reach deep within my soul to collect the scattered and sharp pieces of you that I...

The Dust Touch
like polaroids lose their color
i am surely fading, too.
as memories fall from cherished grasp
my friends loom from behind.
they are shadows
and i cry
because the past is savored once..
.. so i wipe my tears
and face my fears
to try my hand at
“moving on”
but how can i, when everything i touch
turns to
dust?

hey"
it's been a while.
you sounded somewhat cheerful,
acting in place
as if you picked up your smile.
you knew I've had it,
with the lame tricks that I found.
said it nicely,
politely,
that you will get up from the ground
or you would have to leave this house.
because you're in the drain and think that it's ok in stealing my energy,
you're draining me,
with your complaining
of all this misery,
about how you don't need saving
but you're hanging on to me.

All the Years and All the Kisses
The tree swayed as the wind blew
Seasons flew by
It was at that tree, they had stood
Where she had said "I love you."
Time had come and gone
So many things done and said
She had never been able to let go
Until today, her heart sang that goodbye
song.
She had held on to each memory
Never wanted to say, see you later or so long
Respect and trust, she held him high
But tonight, he was like a bird set free.
The Lord had shown her that no man
Was higher or better than Him
His kingdom...

…Fall Back
yesterday
was the end
of daylight
savings time
does that mean
today
is the beginning
of daylight
spending time?
after all
holidays are
just around
the corner
just sayin’
