A night walk under the starlit sky,
Embracing its passersby.
Focused with a goal in his mind,
All obstructions had been left behind.
A breccia with different plans,
Brought him down from his stance.
Intertwined him in her path,
Unraveling an emotional wrath.
An explosive cosmic occurrence
Threw him under her inadvertence.
Impaired by temporary amnesia,
Drugged by the love anaesthesia.
In an unexpected leap of fate,
Before her eyes now he laid.
Eclipsed by her frequency,
He quickly tuned into synchronicity.
Serendipity was to blame,
He was just a player in the game.
When you learn to see with closed eyes,
A whole new dimension will arise.

I - this vacant building, dilapidated by years and cold inadvertence.
Obscurities dance in my eaves, ravenous belfry bats, scouring dusk -
Notions, plans, dreams, impulses - the detritus that bloats their bellies.
Scrawny, gnarled trees about me, bony-fingered limbs clawing, scraping,
Biased, ragged people who assume to know, whose perspectives bleed -
Careless, avaricious purposes, spirits gutted like my stark, graffitied walls.
YOU shall redeem me ... douse my scaffolding, ignite these timbers ...
Ravage my whole with conflagration, toss the cooling ashes windward!
My foundation runs deeper than these trees' tangled roots ... now ...
Raise again, my walls - loving, formidable, joyous, and you ... INSIDE.

Wretched humanity passing through a space
Chosen to be born Chosen to be mournful
Woven webs with wisps of waste
Here to discover from the arms of a mother
So misplaced
Some mortal soul striving to succeed
Planted firmly willful pouring greed
Purposeful need wrapped up in treasure
Blatant inadvertence of mans frailty lost in forever
So few, so few see beyond their acuity
Not yet achieved fluent ingenuity
So they sail into a distant blankness of commutativity
