It Does Not Matter How Much You Ignore Me
Sorry, I no more seek your suns
Nor moons
Yes, your suns I loved very much

Your passionate sun
Around which my planets would run
Your cool moons
Shedding long leaves
On my glistening lagoon
I remember
All my swoons
From wine in your spoon 

But your nerves
Went for new curves
It happens
Very often
Our rivers do...

Fourth canto (first part)

The deep slumber was broken in my head
By a strong thunder, so that I woke up
As person forced to arouse from bed;

My rested eye I moved around then deep,
Erect uprisen, and also stared straight
In order of the place a knowledge to buildup.

It’s...

Beyond the Grid
1.

Whenever the truest edge doesn’t hold,
Another existence it does belie.
When causality is a broken line,
Unseen variable has cracked the mold.

Simple cause and effect gets in trouble
Abstruse patterns underlie life’s events.
Straight Euclidean angles and tangents
Reveal deep truth when they twist and bubble.

Infinite weaving of the light...

Premium Member Ricochet
Mere bits these bullets, so cold and gray
poison piercing's which the jaded heart conceals,
in the heady light of day good men reel
recalling these morbid missiles played.

Blood which hotly runs leads weaklings astray
bringing uncalled for blackness to congeal 
oft in coddled, crimson, rivers most surreal
on pathways...

Villanelle: Think of the trillions who have gone away unsung before us

Think of trillions who have gone away unsung before us
Think what they have left us without staking any claim
Yet the prophets we recall have all been thrust upon us

Those who used this world for...

My Muse
Coleridge once wrote of the Khan’s pleasure dome
Where Mnemosyne, the mother of muses did roam
And her daughter, Caliope, was the muse of epic poetry 
Gave rise to Orpheus, who joined Jason on his odyssey 
His love, Eurydice was killed while dancing to his tune
A beautiful...

Somewhere a Star
A vast explosion in the sky
of supernova’s great goodbye
is how immense celestials die.

Yet these demises have their worth
to aid perchance in future birth
of star to house a planet earth.

Our human species’ vessel home
beneath the heavens’ vaulted dome
is floating in a sea of foam

where we’ve been...

The Bane of Restless Leg Syndrome Kicks Back
Minus adverse side effects
courtesy Ropinirole HCL
couple nights I did try,
albeit yours truly wanted to die,
plus also yearned tubby
among grrrrrreat full dead, no lie,

yes absent asthenia, fatigue,
and/or malaise oh my
nausea, vomiting, somnolence, dizziness,
and asthenic condition,
I woefully did decry
unconsciously kicking,

thrashing, twitching, wife kvetching
downing aforementioned medication
found me awry

The Legend of Love
Where is this God, that invented the sun?  If we close our eyes, is it not the darkness of our mind.  We speak of things, in a language of spells, where our fantasies underlie reality, and warp the pure concept of love. ...

A Plot In Vain
Many a flame, brightens the sky

Such events to re-enact

A plot in vain that would underlie

A pre-determined pact

 

Brought up as a Catholic child

Beliefs that would not wane

The distinct view of Protestants

Reflecting royal reign

 

The disapproving treatment then

Catholic Priests and all

Of secret church services

Hidden holes –...

10 Districts of Reality
Dimension zero is divineIf God exists he’s here to find
Where all dimensions intertwine
To underlie sublime design

Dimension one is deemed a dot
Life’s starting point, existence’s plot
The joint of nothing and a lot
As emptiness becomes a thought

Dimension two morphs points to lines
Defining axis X and Y

A 3-D...

An Introvert's Predicament
I dont know why
But everytime i try
To speak, i sigh
It's not that i'm shy
The words just die
And on my smiles, i rely
To convey and reply. 
But with kids, i cant deny
It's not as weird and dry
'cause they are not as sly
Neither judge nor pry.

UNDERLIE

In the cemetary 
Rest the weak and weary;
Quiet in their repose 
We the living suppose. 

Night after night deterred 
When life is what's preferred. 
Stuffed in a boxed holder 
No room to turn over. 

Life unconventional 
Live institutional. 
In crypt or grave shrouded 
Conditions are...

Indeed
You are quite the flame thrower,
Now dodge my bullets.
I warn thee creator of destruction.
A blazed with glory in your hopes and exceptions.
The burgundy walls that surround your organs,
Underlie the games that support your mourning.
Brutality ceased to be your friend,
But it will follow me until the...

"Aequum et bonum", Latin for "what is right and just".

Laws are the pillars of civilizations,
They underlie great cultures
And shore up great states and nations.
But laws are only as good as the people who make them,
And they're no good at all if those same people break...
