Pray Without Ceasing 2

Each person,
possesses a breaking point.
But this point,
is unknown until taking place.
Lately I’ve felt,
I was near my flashpoint.
Then I sought,
from God HIS helping of grace.
The immediacy of time,
its reference untold
The beginning repeating,
not young—and not old
(The New Room: January, 2021)
“We want a story that starts out with an earthquake
and works it way up to a climax” Samuel Goldwyn

steady knocking of
headboard conjuring up a
merciless flashpoint

Thoughts ignite,
and words burn
As everything considered
—turns to ash
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2016)
A searing headache this morning my head splits
In circumstances whose cause I can’t pinpoint
In twilights when I teeter and shamble on my stilts
As my head I wrack to diagnose the flashpoint
That turns my world topsy turvy
In the twinkling of an eye
A deluge of emotional scurvy
Debunks the lie
I nurtured in the illusion
Of the solid love I envision in my folly
Coupled with aggrandized delusion
I convince my mind wholly
The love I’ve found rings true
In substance and form
Until in the fullness of time grew
With stark clarity and celerity mere fabrications in my mind free did roam
But the love I thought I held in thin air vanished without a trace
Leaving holding the baby
Alongside a stream of stress I’m grappling to address
As friends and foes nickname me crybaby
Because rivers of tears
I cry twenty four seven
Wondering why I allowed a heartbreaker at my expense into my heart to inject spears
Forever stealing the best of me from my Heaven.
Time stops
Zen garden glimpse;
Monkey mind silent
~~~~~~~~~
Falling leaves
Dead brown clusters;
Transitory brief
~~~~~~~~~
Walkway commotion
Naughty child screams;
Miniature dog barks
~~~~~~~~~
Limping old lady
Struggles with pain;
Wobbly knees bent
~~~~~~~~~
Coming and going
So much fanfare;
Traffic detour
~~~~~~~~~
Birdsong anthem
Morning interlude;
Timely dawn hymnal
~~~~~~~~~
Work on words
Craft conspires;
Printing business
~~~~~~~~~
Coffee escapade
Mocha or espresso;
Bitter addiction
~~~~~~~~~
Nicotine fix
Swirling smokescreen;
Carcinogen flashpoint
~~~~~~~~~
To be
And yet;
Unbecoming
~~~~~~~~~
Listen now
Outrage here;
Chaotic bankrupt
~~~~~~~~~
Knowing truth
Blindness cures;
Ignorance hides
~~~~~~~~~
Words empty
Try living;
No one cares
~~~~~~~~~
Holiday tryst
So much wonder;
Wander exploits sight
~~~~~~~~~
Another year older
Not much wiser;
Birthday party
~~~~~~~~~

Thoughts ignite
And words burn
As everything considered,
—turns to fire
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2016)
stop throbbing temple
blood pounded sight
dim daydreamt corneas
surround sharp morning light
hidden heart whispers
raging wan muffled souls
desire stoked embers
burn kiln shattered bowls
dermis flayed pilgrims
gnaw darkly smoked bones
slag dwelling convicts
flee coke crumbled clones
fly, fly away from
a wasteland of sorrows
as ash can yesterdays spill
into flashpoint tomorrows
is there only the now
present here in this spot
downshift stonebreak self speak
ungoverned egos run hot
blur sky, photochrome
squint into ink acid haze
peer at forever
as the danse macabre plays.
