Cosmic rays catalyzed their mission
Mister Fantastic, Reed, led the group
He could stretch like atomic fission.
He bent and flexed to assist the troupe.
Before, girlfriend, later fiancé,
Invisible Woman made impact.
Sue's force field had significant splay
and her bombastic blasts were exact.
Johnny, the Human Torch, struck a name.
As Sue's brother, he was in the know,
used his powers to generate flame.
His embers turned a spark to a glow.
Oh, the monstrous Thing, friend to them all,
grumpy and grouchy but super strong.
He would have been grand with a football.
Stone-like durable flesh and headstrong.
More diversified team you won't find.
Like musketeers, they are one for all
These are the outcasts of humankind,
when need arises, we give them a call.

My glass life half empty,
Never like you or them,
Catalyzed by forsaken neglect,
Abandoned with the breeze,
Catapulted into your world of torment,
Sparkling spirit lost its glimmer,
Ebbing amidst flawed philosophies,
Breathing cynicism into existence.
Save me from this despondency,
And soothe my demons,
Requisitioning the essence of
My everything,
Pilfering what I'm meant to be.
Shadows of doubt,
Splintering my quintessence,
Inundated by echoing relics of my past;
Silence these fragmented reflections
That plague me.
Aching for the flicker of a
New dawning, to
Encompass every broken part of me.

You are the one who catalyzed my pen,
Words of my imagination have soared out of the window pane,
Widely they have spread wings of their imagination,
Leaving behind stronger trails of admiration!

The tide was out
we walked about
then we kept on walking...
How bizarre…
went too far
due to so much talking.
Lightning bolts everywhere
catalyzed my core-
we never ran faster than
the day we ran to shore.

What is the human complexion
Much more than color of skin
Fragile, fierce and nuanced
A reflection from within
A million moving pieces
Catalyzed by everything
Creating combinations
Tied up like a ball of string
How to learn, accept and grow
How to understand
The complex in complexion
Of our wondrous fellow man

Ardent death imagines a self haven
Entrance glowing by distraction
World speed redolent of circulation
Social climbers ringing out
Transposed at the gates of bounty
Advancing as far as time allows
Currents sweeping have abdicated
A constant pursuit, jury-wrangled doubt
Still born as conscience flees
Momentarily chastising of imagination's veins
Yet the future bounces back porous
Webbed across sensual speaking skulls
Life burns by nuance and gaiety
From scripted sources catalyzed
Back through redemptive fervor of chance

Moonlighting
In the moon year
I began to ponder
Of trial about life’s racing,
I thought of life and prayer
I thought of blessing.
Under the clean moonlight,
In the shadow of my hallowed skin
Where the bright moon manifest
And cascades down my path,
I went to the seashore,
Where the gay moon cast
Aspersion on the ocean face,
I saw the rising moon tide
Overwhelmed the uncertain starfish;
Back to where it belongs,
As the moon tide caressed my feet;
I looked at the meek moon
I saw a friend,
A body guard against the uncertain world;
The caressing moonshine catalyzed my dream,
I lay back on the sand
And i followed the lost moon.
