Schadenfreude
Savor

Save
the pain
for later.
Save the space
between
the shapes,
between
the places
we have
disconnected

Bona-fide
lifeless
monsters
We used to scream
as hard as we could
at anyone who stood outside
of the houses
we haunted
whatever
we wanted
magical moments
cemetery tomes
that said;
"Savor the pain for when you need it later.
Theres no room for regret because we'll never get older.

She seas.
Sea swells.
Like growing unease.
Pulled on riptide.
Fast-flowing over.
Capturing land
Saturating hearts.
She sees.
Across ravaged years
Stranded by ocean dreams.
Naive freedom yearning.
Horizon searching.
Always disappointed.
Textures blur.
As motions race.
She outlives desires.
Leaving just outlines.
Fragments scattered.
Lost to the depths.
Waves surge.
Announcing devastation.
Smashing sound thought.
Her mind narrows.
This time now escaping. ...

Cannonball
I laughingly take a running jump
And execute a perfect cannonball
Into the raging torrents
Of the river of life
Actions and consequences
Explode in all directions
Drenching unsuspecting victims
With karmic abandon
And execute a perfect cannonball
Into the raging torrents
Of the river of life
Actions and consequences
Explode in all directions
Drenching unsuspecting victims
With karmic abandon

How can I get lost in the rain today?
I’ll tell you my trust in the waters is complete
And there are wounds I wish to wash away.
And is not the air out here so very sweet?
You were not first, but I prayed you’d be the last
And I am forgetting myself, forgetting my strength
But I won’t say it’s impossible move past this at length.
I wish I could dine on the bones of my own past
With tomorrow at my side, gnawing at me today
With the words neither of us quite knows how to say.
I believe I am thinking. I believe I am...

Unnoticed
Reading the papers and seeing the news on TV
the festive season has begun, like an eager blue tractor
little time for those caught up in wars;
We will remember them at the dinner table.
A woman received 8 million dollars in a divorce settlement
she had had aromatherapy worthy of a queen.
New knee caps worthy of Nefertiti’s found in the sand.
The divorcee can afford her hip bones if ever found,
according to the newspapers who live on rumours.
Archaeologists are looking for the ancient queens’ pubic hairs,

Countdowns.
Closing eyes.
Winding....
Clocks.
Faces.
Weather beaten.
Hands that won't work.
Starting.
Counting down.
Every start.....
An end.
Reasons.
Worn away.
Not willing.
To do it all over again.
Blindness now.
Accepted.
Departing.
Bottom line.

twilight in phantasmagoric.
To be known, to be seen
colored in hues of
all my purple's and black
Ohh, those fine traces
as yellow melds to truth of glory
as light slow fades
twisting to a burnt-out orangey
how illumination succumbs
from it's sort of solar powered fate
bound, forever cherished
to always beautifully permeate—
prismatic tendrils reaching
from so deep inside, (to out)
tearing through the majestic ether
all pinpoint sparkles
filled by multicolored promise
as flares of a pure ebony glistening
rainbow-like spray ...

It Be That Way Sometimes
When did the storm clouds
pull me into a tornado of doubt:
tumbling around, grasping
for someone I vaguely remember.
Swirling winds are calm some days
and I'm spewed forth without wings
to coast into soft landings.
I crash the fields with my awkward
walk and mechanical mouth.
But it be that way sometimes.
The enormity of it all.
One step forward...
...two back.
It's a dance, never mastered,
but one I rehearse.
I'd be a fool to step into ...

Boostered!
About to leave for my booster
Rather get there early
Than late
For this is a very special
Non romantic date
A new kind of destiny awaits
Time to fly
As i lie in the hands
Of the Fates

Some actions have consequences
Forsake everyone
by saving yourself
via feigning neutrality
Play the victim
to a crucified t
Woe to anyone
who crosses me!
Spread gossip in public
while privately telling lies

hardly should come

have few genuine friends
if any
That's Karma

KARMA RHYME
mindless
as gravity,
it reflects
how you live --
karma's simple
equation:
you get what
you give
though obvious
actions
are not always
the clue --
one must dig
for the reason
the fates
play with you
some hidden agenda
that guides
heart and mind,
some misguided notion
the soul needs to find,
some darkness we hold
is misfortune explained
and in it the map
to karma's gold vein
as gravity,
it reflects
how you live --
karma's simple
equation:
you get what
