A Place Not Meant To Be
PART: II (699 of 1487 words)
#9: Days of Paper Roses
Do the numbers--dogs don't count--just survives!
Then everything, be as close enough, still,
of this and that, thoughts begin and end, thrives,
truth betold, none were measured boundless will.
There's a bold statement, typed on front pages,
rolled off the presses, just to impress us,
splashed inklings midst papered, of such phrases,
... rolled and impressed, settles the dust--minus.
High-topped towers, the light of day, shadows,
thought-filled days, wages paid by subscribers,
of The Times, Gazettes, or Tribune Heralds,
flighters, fighters, there too were paid--writers.
Dawn paper rolls, notepads, pens ... night closes,
they blossomed they did like rows of roses.
#10: No Room At The Inn
They blossomed they did like rows of roses.
Places for lodgers, those traveling sourced,
their reasons countered their changing poses,
frequent stays and returns have been endorsed.
There will be places that might be lacking
for whatever reasons that there may be,
the people won't stay there, less foot tracking,
as sites may have Roach Motels that you'll see.
There will be double-booking caused concerns,
leaving people stranded, no way, no stay,
whereby many shorten trips--forced returns.
Trends rallied lawsuits; be that as it may,
X-X Bethlehem, then Jerusalem, He'll lay.
#11: Space Race Revised
X-X Bethlehem, then Jerusalem, He'll lay,
slides from angel wings through hourglass timeless
inquiry, that constant without delay
spatial values in place of life ... priceless?
Space is priceless and we welcome it here,
--present company excluded, that is.
Cultural war displaces; others--where?
Mayans, Angkor Wat, Easter's Rapa Nui's.
We measure our worth for what we can take,
the price for this act is life, yours or theirs.
'Take' leave of the seats as cruise control, make
it with the jingle turn to wrinkle--cheers!
Space worth is the price for commodities,
let's naught add to Space's new oddities.
#12: Space Ghost-ed
Let's naught add to Space's new oddities,
we've space between our ears, with a spare room.
Silos hushed ... Grace spots our credulities,
our space mid-ear's blessed--a brain stained attune.
Post-Life; same space; new point--afeared darkness,
when question, "mark," life's course--you must enter
price if not taken; parts fatal, parts guess,
choose--right proves true, and--wrong haunts lamenter.
Existence; same brain space--darkness remains,
(dark alley, blind spot, or scary neighbor)
sensed points in life--in your space, your caused stains,
trifle (take) space. As written, (take) detour,
and highly fill the space between your ears,
to the accords of The Book of Life ... cheers.
#13: Close One, & Cigars
To the accords of The Book of Life ... cheers,
loose ends of the created stoic string
crisscross a heedless sea of empty tears.
In the facade of guilt, all seems trifling.
Metallica Horizons all are round,
languages changing from their Mother Tongues,
World Clock, reassemble to Zero down.
New tastes, new sounds ... The Song of Flower Drums
from Southerners, not quite, the cowboy type.
Bowls bleed of beets, ... have fun chow from Macao.
Americans, ... where? ... flagless world, all hype ...
Russians, Chinese, there ... steak, Mindanao.
Ex-lives work as one, building their Starships,
human chain meant Starman ... breathing room trips.
#14: Revelations 23:1
Human chain meant Starman ... breathing room trips,
H**** sapiens chose ... plus naught minus,
the apocalypse ... opts total eclipse,
self-acquaintance, he splits us, Linnaeus,
Con temporaries times, countdown it chills,
Adolph & Stalin it ticks and it tocks,
Pre temporaries times, pour down it spills,
Alexander, Khan drip sands as it stocks,
Once down on the time, leaves heaped reds and golds,
down on one-timers, the large waterholes.
Cause and effects--pause and reflect; Reserved,
Blessed manifest--Grace takes His Place; The Word.
#15: To Err Divine ...
Blessed manifest--Grace takes His Place; The Word,
Presenced peace of mind brightened every hour,
Magnanimous passage namesakes ushered,
Looking-at-last ... utopian tower,
Countenance primed, ubiquitous effects,
Nirvana captured spatial 'brilliance,
The Ancients primordial architects,
Solar Lunar ... Terra Firma eclipse
Utopia ~ Nirvana-----------Genesis,
The Supreme recreates the beginning,
Wherefore, mirrors joy and fears, seize and frees,
Knowledge of good and evil ... tree growing,
Vacuous chamber amuse drifting haunt,
Sand grains station elevated for want.
