Ten Commandments

Thou art enjoined to enjoyment,
Exhorted to exultation.
Thy responsibility is to be responsive,
and impishness be thy imperative.


So cherish thy good cheer, 
And be not judicious in jubilation –  
Rather exude exuberance,
For to revel is a revelation, and
It is on pain of death that 
That thou art commanded to Live!

This Is the Moment For Which All Your Life Has Been a Preparation

Shed fear. Sprout wings. Float out from arbitrary time. 
Transmute the ordinary; prospect the sublime. 
Twirl till you collapse, exhausted; 
Taste ambrosia; scale the frosted 
Himalayan peaks, where fingers tingle, 
Senses sparkle, shutters from their hinges fly. 
Invite the icy wind to ravage every single
Nerve and singe the savage soul that yearns to cry
Out with a fierce intensity
I'm free!

Memento Exultate

Though eager
Gusts avail, but yet
This tight-furled sail I don't deploy.
Lo! how often I forget--oblivious to joy.
