Best Rationalizations Poems

I am writing to you because I know you have a wish.
I have been thinking diligently about your wish. It is not
going to be easy but I think it can be done. First I am going
to break down your overall wish into many smaller wishes.

I...

Wrapped into a cocoon of impenetrable meaning and faith he followed the light

Doom and gloom had once shadowed his library of dreams and contentment

Scattered in his loony resemblance of a rational mind words rearranged reason

Analyses can be paralyses when parables and images leave inclinations behind

On...

What was I thinking, I pondered alone,
As my mind wandered my thoughts were thrown.
Lost in a whirlwind of doubt and despair,
I yearned for an answer, a purpose to share.

To slice beyond the cacophony in my head. 
To find the clarity that I so...

There is a beat to the world,
it burns and bites, it can calm & comfort,
it will arouse and it will anger, it is a romantic rhythm,
immutable and immaculate,
an unselfish music it is, life provides this sensative song
and we all perfom a dance of danger, delight,&...

Its been a while,
Since iv'e smiled
You remind me of her.

That sounds bad, 
But don't be mad 
Because your heart is more pure.

Its hard to love 
the push and shove
and how it gets so much harder

but seeing your face 
and sharing your space,
makes me feel like...

"Years” and “Distance”, phantoms of the dark that do their evil
in the quietude of the everyday, coming and going without so
much as a footprint or a whisper, and taking the most valuable
possessions of the heart, the things you care about and adore
most of all ...

They...

i dreamt
i moved into a apartment
with an old brick wall
and its decaying face
the old light hanging from a thread
swings on the open breeze
from the window
time seems to slow down to a crawl
so i can see each and every flaw
so i can feel each and every...

My emotions swarm, clouding all rational judgement. My pain is a storm in my heart,  my suffering the rain that pours down. I wish tears to fall, to release a part of my agony, but no. My body betrays me. I am a burden...

The East Meets West Philosophy Association
had their annual 2020 conference in Rio,
when and where anything multiculturally lusty
is more likely to happen,
especially between sunset
and sunrise.

Coincidentally
and existentially
and phenomenologically
and ecologically
and ethologically
and epistemologically,
and astrologically,
and metaphorically,
it was necessarily
and sufficiently
and justly
and truly
and trustingly at dawn
on a sweltering Saturday morning
that their Friday...

Ignominious consecrations - Arise. 
Through tainted, synoptic eyes 
With condescending erroneous lies 
Despicable temptations - tease and denies 
My nemesis creation, 
insatiable appetites are no excuse 
Rationalizations 
A pernicious fight, senseless; a tightening noose 

Ridiculous questions, insidious addictions 
Perspectives; painful views of captive 
Suicidal intentions...

He sat alone,  inside his own bubble of quiet,
indifferent to the scurrying sounds, the muted bustle 
of people huddled around their departure gates.
I thought him rather overdressed for the weather
looking busy with something I couldn't see what,
reminding me of a madman who couldn't 
remember...

It probably won’t matter
Whatever I say you crush
The know-it-all refuses to listen
The conceit of a fool is so rigid
Unable to admit your arrogance
Positive advice is sound
Not attacking one’s ego
It’s acceptable to be uninformed
An open mind recognizes intent
God is the only know-it-all being
Declare your validations
Excuses all...

Words betray me
Abandoning in the time
Of their need
Thoughts escape
Unfaithful thoughts, evaporate
I panic
Memories, sweet memories
Please come rushing back
I need to recall
I have to narrate
Emotional blackmail
Whatever it takes
I can beg
I can plead
Just don't walk away 
From us
From me
Give me a minute
A minute in exchange of years
For I...

Greyed cloudscape:
Even the leaves
have, true to their name,
left the Sky.

Readying work is
done.
Flowers, matings, done.

Repairs and preparations,
all made.
The only work remaining
is excuses.  
Exculpations of a worn Self.

Rationalizations
follow realizations 
which have long 
followed idealizations.

Winter is coming
like a 30 ton steaming
locomotive (crazy motive)
let loose, downhill, and
feeling late...
