Pre and Post Phobia
~
Cries, Yells and Screams!
Distant black and white dreams
Monochromatic and systematic
Volume’s pitch and problematic
Concrete walls and metal stairs
Echoing the petrified and no one cares.
Mouthy aches and heady tales
Decades pass and pain prevails

Merry-less or Mirth
~
With each new day we do grow.
We flourish and whither till it’s time to go.
Our stay’s too short on this earth.
Life’s longest on our day of birth.
And the time betwixt is all we know.
So write it well, it is your show.

Poetic Visions
A poet can see
the past, present and future.
Then write all the wrongs.

Forever Green
In time we all green,
some blossom, others jaded.
Most just get moldy.

We’re going to hell

Lesson’s big, none small.
We’re risen to others lust.
Yet to love we fall.

Feathers of Time

With a bow to fateful inspiration, I shall cast skyward, beyond the heavens and to the heart of a most divine princess. Though this arrow will not pierce nor blemish all that is pure. For it will levitate before her command, awaiting thoughtful reply. It is then thy arrow shall propel and traverse, returning to my waiting, wanting and out stretched hand. And with this most sacred and singular of tools I trust and follow; deserts and plains, rivers, forests, seas and frozen peaks where only the arrow dare soar, I do confidently tread. Upon the highest pinnacle I will see the light and be guided. Drawn by the heat of shared passions, we attract and we shall meld and mold, we will unite as one and become the bow, two parts equal. Tied with care and precision we are flexible and strong. The arrow does no wrong.

Change
~
Seven digits and change begun.
I hung up quick but the phone had rung.
My number left on the caller screen.
She rang back soon but wasn’t mean.
My change of heart was understood.
A question answered is always good.
It wasn’t time to make that call.
Perhaps again, another Fall.

Time to Kill –
Context says it all
Time to rest or to perform
Or leave people still
~
Zero Truth –
To not quantify
Is to never justify
Just living a lie
~
Zero Logic –
If zero is best
And more is worse, then why’s there
Even a question
