Foolish Mortals
The Foolishness of Mortality
fleeing from absurdity
pitifully clinging to normality
when the truth is
Madness is divine
much better than
simply being fine,
Chaos is not so malign
it is a gift from the Gods
for none are beyond such a flaw
timeless enough to endure
yet something the weak abhor,
Sanctity for the chosen few
who embrace the path true
the harmatia is inevitable
ensorcelled in a fable
that hubris rejects and ignores
when fate will have it that
A foolish destiny will be yours.

"Every man has his own destiny:
the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it,
no matter where it leads him." - Henry Miller
if not now,
when?
if not here,
where?
if not so,
how?
if not me,
who?
if not therefore,
why?
if not water,
thirst.
if not bread,
hunger.
if not clothed,
naked.
if not whole,
sick.
if not free,
bond.
if not just,
corrupt.
if not kind,
cruel.
if not righteous,
evil. ...

The Unseen Hater
Hungry howls the hollow pit of the grim invader
for what does it yearn
the kind soul of the willing trader
to whom this may concern
artful treachery of the corrupt persuader
tormented pupils eager to learn
led down an alley to an incinerator
where love is lost and dreams burn
for misled victims of the unseen hater
from whom kind souls do not return.

Thorns
Thorns mourn the rose
clipped and displayed
to wilt and dispose
in a life and death trade
lost love gone
memories fade
thorns carry on
not lonely but neglected
not bitter but betrayed
not discouraged but rejected
forever unafraid
mourning the rose
clipped and displayed
clipped and displayed
to wilt and dispose
in a life and death trade
lost love gone
memories fade
thorns carry on
not lonely but neglected
not bitter but betrayed
not discouraged but rejected
forever unafraid
mourning the rose
clipped and displayed

circumstance
love is the poor man's wages
in times of darknes,
don't forget what you learned
in the light;
in daytime starknes,
don't reject fortunes turned
in the night.
when times and seasons change,
consider it not strange;
for circumstance
is just a dance
whose steps are no fool's business.
in times of laughter,
fret not on the troubles
of your life;
let tears come after,
for, when hard time doubles,
all is rife
with heaviness of heart. ...

Further Review
Tape replayed
spins fade
truths reveal
scars heal
masks erased
mirrors faced
lies unravel
no judge’s gavel
further review
not me or you
everyone sees
souls at ease
spins fade
truths reveal
scars heal
masks erased
mirrors faced
lies unravel
no judge’s gavel
further review
not me or you
everyone sees

I didn't want it, but I got it anyway
age is not a power
I wanted
age is not wisdom
I sought
age is not a turn
I looked to
take
the last course has
been served
the plates are full
so come
on
dig in
there's enough for
everybody

karma
my pain is deep and cutting
but I like the way it feels
with a slice into memory
telling myself lady, you shouldn't have done that
I review my life taking inventory
I ache with regrets
they pain me greatly
I've affected peoples lives
changed their trajectory
that's a powerful thing,
affecting a soul's fate
I keen knowing sometimes it was negative
I bring out the worst in a person
they react then Karma gets them later because of me
punished for acts of violence
I wince when I see it
payback for treating...

Perchings
I would, it were, I was a bee
Or some might filled plutonian fowl
I do not know where I will end
Or if this traveling’s been well
I cannot see the end of journey
Here among the clouded skies
I cannot hear or think more clearly
With these tear-filled cloudy eyes
The wind is blowing fast now faster
Clinging to these wings outstretched
The baritone of rolling thunder
Echoing thought hollow chest
And if it rains, might that then portend
Deeper questions of this flight
Rain to sleet and ice then commend
Less to me...
Or some might filled plutonian fowl
I do not know where I will end
Or if this traveling’s been well

Here among the clouded skies
I cannot hear or think more clearly
With these tear-filled cloudy eyes

Clinging to these wings outstretched
The baritone of rolling thunder
Echoing thought hollow chest
And if it rains, might that then portend
Deeper questions of this flight
Rain to sleet and ice then commend

A SONNET FOR LILITH
Tonight the forlorn raven sang
Upon my quill and parchment
The gallows call to me
To take my place
Inside my shallow grave
So brackish, the vermin
Swarm over me
Beneath the hanging tree
I vomited blood on the page
As a sonnet set to flame
Lilith is the succubus of my dreams
As the haunted moon crests those pregnant skies
The wolves rending the night with winter screams
Worrying the quivering flesh tonight
Weep not for Lilith worship her instead
As nocturnal beasts fall under her...
Upon my quill and parchment
The gallows call to me
To take my place
Inside my shallow grave
So brackish, the vermin
Swarm over me
Beneath the hanging tree
I vomited blood on the page
As a sonnet set to flame
Lilith is the succubus of my dreams
As the haunted moon crests those pregnant skies
The wolves rending the night with winter screams
Worrying the quivering flesh tonight
Weep not for Lilith worship her instead
As nocturnal beasts fall under her...

Tempest and Aftermath
Association, apex to nadir,
may soften concepts held of others’ fate,
but only if the mind discriminate,
and learn extremes have charlatan and seer.
With crude insight, thoughts fail to fuse, they shear,
the crest, the trough, excesses common trait,
or seem if one won’t differentiate,
then rudderless the waves control and steer.
The calms of norms, once spurned, unveil their charm,
akin to whiling hours in reverie,
but middle ground is too a sought for place.
To guide a ship through storms must raise alarm,
now in dry dock,...
