Larger Than Life

Look at me in the eyes
I'm larger than life
A towering monolith
Surrounded by phonies
And plastic ponies
It's a shame I'm the only
One standing tall
But he who stands tall
Must inevitably fall
At least that's what they say
But they say
So many things
So in one ear
And out the other
Look me in the eyes
Tell me when I'm tellin' lies
Each day is a new chapter
And sure
Maybe I cut some pages out
But I've still got a novel
Built from numerous experiences
And those dark days
Those really dark days
Are like drifting storm clouds
But at the very end
Is a pot of gold
And if I may be bold
Look at me now
I'm larger than life
Yeah, I'm larger than life

                            hern pink
                          mine almost

Once there were millions.
Now there are billions.
Once there were kings.
Now there are councils.
Once there was ignorance. 
Now knowledge abounds.
Once there was poverty.
Now comfort for most.
Once there was war.
Now there is peace.
Once there were traditions.
Now there are systems.

Our relative power is slipping away.
Even as we all grow greater each day.

Asia Is Larger Than a Novel 2

To live is to forgive,
To the girl who wears makeup over her vacuum cleaner,
To the shy writer who won the Nobel Prize,
To the growing silence of Icelandic whales and sperm whales,

To live is to forgive, Joseph Kessel, Beatrice,	
To the panther-sized dancer,
Who leaves you on Valentine’s Day,
For touching you that you are not the center of the world,
Like Joseph Kessel, nor Edgar Allan Poe or Baudelaire.

To live is to forgive.
Asia is larger than a novel by Joseph Kessel.

Asia Is Larger Than a Novel 1

To live is to forgive, 
Asia is larger than a novel by Joseph Kessel.
To the icy ray of moon that crosses the window,
To the bee that stings your honey on the table of abundance,
Forgive the indifference and talent of New York poets,

To live is to forgive,
To his parents who scolded and lied to you often,
To the teacher who strikes his baton on the desk,
To the student who recites his fable without knowing it better,

To live is to forgive Joseph Kessel in the mountains,
To the nervous lions that hunt the elephants of Tanzania,
To capricious girls who take shampoos,
To the girls who want seducing cats and griffins.

To live is to forgive, 
To lovers who eat dark chocolate,
To the bulls that haunt the dreams of the Spaniards,
To the prime numbers, this ridicules our cute reason.

Larger Than a Universe

"Larger than a Universe" 

Space to be alone
take it, take 
all the space
you want 

silence 
becomes you
inside conducts 
a symphony 

music speaks 
loud and clear
pushes forward
across the table

the keys

to doors 
and foot 
flat to the floor 
driving

targa top gears 
upward shifting 
racing towards 
the stratosphere

you let go 
of the wheel,
and the noise of 
bickering black crows 

swiftly disappear, 
with no place to go
all the little darlings 
murdered

shadows 
become
reflections
in time 

the sun 
pushes 
the clouds
aside

something 
larger
than 
a universe 

takes over the self
takes control

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

Larger Questions

When I’m seeking solutions to life’s larger questions, 
I visit that sacred location where millions of people pray,
desperately, for answers - the bathroom mirror. 

Ugh, has my hair looked like that all DAY?

A Small Matter In a Larger Context

My ex-wife is on the cellphone 
   Tiring me out

She lives on Facebook 
Her life is images and itineraries 
She’s a good woman
But I see way too much 
   Of her food nowadays.

America has gone and its
Probably not coming back
Some see that as a good thing
That’s depressing
But I think in many ways
We are all globally bereft 
   No matter what

Life has its challenges
We wear masks
Some are throwaway
   Others remain

Obviously 
I can’t say much
About you know what
And it would be forward of me 
To speak out and outrage
The ever watchful
You know who’s
Least I find myself 
Deemed to be
A you know -
And maybe even 
   A whatever

Wolves now roam 
Sniffing out
The questioning 
   And the voiceless

They are leading 
The disconnected and willing
Into a glorious future
And everyone 
   Is a hero now

Larger Than Life

It's not fair it's not right,
All year caring for others,
Full of life and laughter,
A laugh that was so contagious,
We all had to laugh with you,
She loved a LARGE mug of tea,
She said things as she saw them 
A fighter not someone to give in,
Illness didnt win with you,
A front liner you where a carer,
When you became ill we new you would fight,
But into hospital you went,
You did fight for so long,
Seeming to turn a corner,
But covid beat you in the end,
Your a woman to be remembered,
She wouldnt want tears,
Celebrate her life laughter is what she would want,
Elaine the stars will shine brighter but it will be darker here.
You will be remembered by everyone your life touched xx

Much Larger

The most important
item placed on a gravestone...
Life's more than a dash.

In a World Large and Larger

"in a world large and larger"

friendship is a treasured gift
allowing one not to wander alone
in a world large and larger
each soul enhances more than life
namely warming hearts young and old

darkness diminishes sadness fades
happiness lives in togetherness
all in a world large and larger

place your hand in mine
giving light to eternity
reach out to betterment
one should not travel secretly

while time quickly moves
search for friendship that is true

Larger-Than-Life Love

Larger-than-life love
Is truly time-tested one; 
It comes when least expected, 
As the other is easily gone.

True love lasts a lifetime, 
Found in one's good heart; 
Two people are both in love, 
Yes, till death do they part.

The lovers' common vow 
Is to promote each other's cause; 
The solemn promise they fulfill
Non-stop, without pause.

Each time they bond together
Is something so especial; 
Letting the friendship grow
Is indeed exceptional.

You can't count the blessings
Like the billion stars above; 
They enjoy them gladly
With larger-than-life love.

Larger Than Life

Should the dark clouds of pain
overwhelm your already broken soul
and the sun has been covered 
by a night sky of stars to far to shine,

Should the blood of your fragile body
turn frozen into ice
and the air around you too cold
to thaw your bones into warmth,

Should you ever lose direction
because your maps have been torn apart
by the evils of society
that you are unable to find your way,

Always know there is one place
where you can go in need of warmth,
a place where the sun can shine,
and you can be finally be guided
by the strength of our embrace.

Whenever you lose your way
know that I am here,
together, we are unstoppable
and can conquer fears so far away,
fly into the wonders of space.

Although it's been so long,
I have yet to fade away
you may have disappeared 
into little specks of air,
but in my eyes you will always
be bigger than the sun.

Spur of the moment. Just wrote it in a second. It sucks, but that's why I'm writing. I want to get better at it.
