the axiom of reality
is within the median,
existing within the margins,
the fragments of the unnamed.
the moments that demand presence,
the silence that bares fruit
a taste of what was once unseen, unheard and unfelt
now radiates in every thing beyond you.
one is a spark,
two is a clash,
three's a crowd bash
four twines the braid
squares up the sides
tradeoff abides
light the candle,
enjoy shared roles,
four conjoint souls
triad anguish
seeks a fourth goal
mandala whole
AN AWARENESS APHORISM
Oh, awareness is one thing,
Acting upon it is another;
You can’t allow apathy
To dam up action:
For awareness,
Without action,
Is appalling:-
A fleeting Fata Morgana that transmutes the deadly shiver of existence into the chrysopoeic alchemy of the infinite, where the boundaries of time and space are but a mere illusion.
Life is an eternal time
that since it existed
it never ended...
Time is a life
that has always existed
and it will never cease to exist...!
Inert mass functions
paradigm outre' halos
emerald Tang minds
Wise words will
Taut true till
Bloom bright boast
Taste tough toast
Feel form face
Thrill tough trace
Toil tells time
Charm crisp chimes
Live laughs lost
Craze carves cost
Lift lost lines
Feel faith fine
Set stern sway
Work walks way
Brave brisk break
Sign swift stake
Mind moves make
Touch treats take

Some things in life are like falling off a log
Like eating and sleeping, like walking in a fog
Cept some days fall short
It's then we must resort
To the age old axiom, “A squeeky wheel annoys the dog!”
There's no third option
in the binary code of
lovers: to love or
not to love, that's the one and
final truth of programmers.
