NO TEARS FOR YOU
NO TEARS FOR YOU
I failed to witness the incident
I heard it full fury
The motorcycle raced
through the intersection
weaving and believing
that they were immortal
Roaring engines screamed
through eternity
before the awkward stutter of brakes
slowly rumbling and stumbling down
within it's quirky growl of slowing assessment
ending with a clap of thunder
creating a motorcycle finally through
mixed with a mangled man
without fears, reckless and true
NO TEARS FOR YOU
I failed to witness the incident
I heard it full fury
The motorcycle raced

weaving and believing

Roaring engines screamed

before the awkward stutter of brakes
slowly rumbling and stumbling down

ending with a clap of thunder
creating a motorcycle finally through
mixed with a mangled man
without fears, reckless and true
NO TEARS FOR YOU

geraniums
know nothing about flowers,
I grumbled, on our way to the garden centre to buy some; I thought gymnasiums were flowers until I smelled one ..

Cricket
She may bat for the other side
But I can still appreciate her stroke-play

Punch Fight
Hands on the leather.
Fight fist to fist.
Under the weather.
The storm is this.
Not striking never.
Strike in a blitz.
You won’t remember.
Or survive this.
Punch fight!
A grizzly bear is taking your life.
Punch fight!
Though you try to hold on tight.
Punch fight!
You’re never gonna make it alive.
Punch fight!
And the priest says your last rites.
So would you rather.
Fight hit or miss.
Then die together.
In violent bliss.
Your courage gathered.
Your final wish.
Fight to the...

Cathartic Arts
Up, down
Blinded
Throw, catch
Subsided
Spin, height
Perfected
Adrenaline courses through me
My chest swells with pride
My hands burn and scream
They're growing a rough hide
Empowered
Relieved
Who needs a professional
When you have metal
Who needs a confessional
When you blow the kettle
Learned
Unimpeded
Everything flies
My hands are tied
Up in this grace
And my stone-cold face
Blinded
Throw, catch
Subsided
Spin, height
Perfected
Adrenaline courses through me
My chest swells with pride
My hands burn and scream
They're growing a rough hide
Empowered
Relieved
Who needs a professional
When you have metal
Who needs a confessional
When you blow the kettle
Learned
Unimpeded
Everything flies
My hands are tied
Up in this grace
And my stone-cold face

Proverbs about running before sunrise
You can't see it clearly, but the road is still there.
Take the next step.
The lights you're wearing for other people to see
don't really illuminate your path.
Other people's lights can be blinding,
unless they're walking beside you.
There's a universe of stars above you --
look up and appreciate the beauty.
If you stay out in the dark long enough,
it will eventually become light again.
Take the next step.
The lights you're wearing for other people to see

There's a universe of stars above you --

If you stay out in the dark long enough,
it will eventually become light again.

Bred For the Distance
You old stayer
You’d do two miles
In a canter

from the day's mixed moods :: 1-5 miscellany minimalism
1.
::this vicious thus ::
yes sir, second jabbed.
but, where are the jobs...
hmm. the real parasites
are..... _________,, you know.
2.
:: viral expressionism vs writer's block ::
love this feverish temper
i burn fluently high now...
than the wordless asphyxia
of a marooning heart.. by
the summing up chronic toxins
of a pretty veiled world's smiling
assassin acts- a slow python kill
more a sleeper cell terrorism ...

Hector The Cricket
I once saw a cricket
Playing cricket
On a sticky wicket
With a piece of willow in hand
But he got bowled out
By a Yorker
As he didn't understand
That hopping around
Between the bails
Left him undiagnosed
In his second innings
Hopeful of new beginnings
He then got rapidly stumped
Betwixt a maiden over
As his wicket was left exposed
Forlornly he left the field
And drowned his sorrows in nectar
Vowing never to play cricket again
As he changed his name to Hector
Sadly this was short lived
As he...
