Poetry

Hurry up and wait
Hip hip hooray
Somewhere in between
Any day now
How about it

All are ready to see
Birth of this incredible
Patience to unload
The nature of selves

Relieves greatest tension
Bringing wonder
Into our universe
This world awakes
Her arrival

Well,                 , are you ready to come forth?

Dearest,

This is the letter never written

Why?

Will I call

Tomorrow?

Maybe the next day

I cannot say

Because

I just saw you

Today

Dream state awake

Sleep on feet

Eyes to light

Awake dream state

Head to pillow

Body on auto

State awake dream

“All the same”

Time to die or fight for life

Broken down deserted strife

Blinded along the way

A riddle to Phadreus I pray

Cut in the middle, no sense to say

Stuck with intent, not light of day

Crushed mountains of beliefs

Polluted oceans of desires

A pungent reminder, stanching

Decay and death starves

Bleak and lifeless cries

Children tortured by fears

Adults’ caved ignorance clears

The head games we play

Having nothing to say

We crumble away

No light today

This sense decay

Riddled I pray?

Falling down upon my knees

Unloading a weighty disease

Flailing arms curse the sun

Ripping the flaming tendrils

Death coolly waits

Blind in faith

Dry cracking cough

Leathered beauty in

A deserted desolation

Withers and shrivels away

Remnants scatter into nothingness

Are lost treasures awaiting us?

Or is it time to die?

Phadreus simply shrugs

And sighs

Why?

Inside all of us

Our enemy is ignorance

Our only weapon

Education

So

Bring on the smart bombs

Conventional implements

Nuclear enlightenment

Go ahead

And

Blow us all away

Drops in the bucket overflow

Onto the pan and drain downward

In a spiraling gutter

Down they go

Around they flow

And where it all stops

Nobody knows

These drops, their cyclic flows, contain

The mysteries of our universe

Disclosed joys and horrors restrained

From man’s conscious discourse

A complex governing system rearranges

Those whose channels are clear

Tempered by their own judgment

Explosive realizations fall near

To overflow all that is left

To wash the horror at joy’s relent

Dichotomy’s swirl evades the known

Re-derange to covet relief

And chaos is a sounding board

For order, which casts sanity a clue

As to what life really has to show

And where it all stops

Nobody knows

It’s all his fault

When I don’t

Return

So burn him

At the stake

Because

I want to kick his ass

In the next place

Words do not seem to last

Passages misinterpreted over time

Since action more influential

May I resonate in rhyme

Caress you into spacetime

Infinite repetition throughout

And relax upon aphelion

Given my wish divine

Put this down immediately

Go do something positive

To immortalize my intent

Yesterday I saw the beginning

Of life in a locust

Transformations of chaotic sorts

From nebulous hole

To the order of his being

Life energy was focused

And another earthly creature

Came into their own

Wholeness with the universe

Is a fantastic infinity

Kinda gives you the willies

Just thinking about it

Self, awareness and understanding, crying in the cave

Human mind

Neanderthal life, stagnate spiritual evolution

Systems corrupted by a la carte materialism

Condiments without substance, we starve out sense

And accept predicaments, circumstances from ignorance

False piety, materialistic comedy, tragedy in disguise

Poisonous lies, diseased inside, more carrion

Less light, back to black, afraid to leave the cave

We left caves for houses, shelter to protect

We stay in caves for shelter, fear to project

Ignorance inhibits escape, dungeon bars the exit

Thinking protection from those existing in the light

Outside shadow-dance, frightful scene on cave wall

To break from the norm, inside out, entrapped freedom

Run, fast and far, never to look back, avoiding other caves

Once in the light of day

Stay away from the shade

Grasping shadows

Take attention to care

Beware

There are cave dwellers out there, everywhere
