I Walk into Love With You

I walk into love with you.
With my eyes wide open.
To take every measure along the way.

I didn't fall in love with you.
Because my eyes were wide open,
So, I can love you every step we take.

I believe in destiny and fate.
And we intended,
To do things that we value.

I'd choose you.
In a hundred lifetimes over,
Because you're unique in scars.

I'd choose you sooner.
In a hundred worlds different,
Because of your imperfections.

I'd choose you sooner.
In a hundred universes unalike,
Because I'd find you in time.

Any interpretation of this existence.
I'd find you sooner and choose you,
And I'd walk into love with you, again.

I love you all the same, Shannon! R.I.P.

Surfing Lifetimes

it's like surfing; 
over lifetimes I can't 
remember, but
carrying little pieces
over, adding new drops
to sugary, rolling waves, 
falling, riding; shouting
occasionally at the devil
or you when you're 
nearer

In Spheres

in spheres
shall I know thee
your flesh entwined
with mine

for the circles, 
meadows in each, 
and bodies, 
ours… dream

you have beauty
I have some
yet in others
spheres dull

for the eons, 
embraced in arms, 
and bodies, 
ours… all

Fading

dusty in the eaves 
three lifetimes undisturbed
cluttered memories

Lifetimes

How long is a lifetime?
They say it lasts
From birth to death
But is that really true?
Mine has surely been long
Centuries, at least
Or have I been here
Just a few months?
A few moments.
It all happened so fast
Age six seems like only
Seconds have passed
Age sixty was an eon ago
Perhaps when I’m 
Dead and gone
I’ll be back
For another go

More Average Lifetimes

An army of mites reside on our lashes
With mouths and tiny claws
Along the way during human evolution
This surely must have been a flaw

Astronauts strangely can't burp in space
What kind of dribble is that
A feline can have over a hundred kittens
Now that's one pooped out cat

Some atheists put up Christmas trees
An identity crisis for sure
A cow can poop up to four tons a year
That's sure a batch of manure

A woman once had sixty-nine children
Talk about barefoot and pregnant
With a dirty big bunch of kiddies like that
She could hold her own beauty pageant

Nose prints are used to identify dogs
Imagine if they were used for humans
Especially during the influenza season
There'd be snot all over the policeman

The tallest people in the world are the Dutch
Must have to duck under the windmills
While kissing most tilt their head to the right
But there's some who rub noses still

The salary of Toto in “The Wizard Of Oz”
Was a hundred twenty dollars a week
That's a hundred and twenty more than me
Since retiring my new job is sleep

Waiting Too Many Lifetimes

Everytime you and I cease to speak
Just a day feels like a lifetime to wait
So please don't waste too many lifetimes
To come back into my life
You and I, forever intertwined like vines
Growing together in that magical meadow
Within the vast gardens of life
Where spring days never die, they only thrive
But not until you I reunit
Until then nothing but Grey skys and sad days
Too many lifetimes to throw away 
But I will wait as many days as it takes 
Till you and I speak again, then spring will live again
By Marcellus Wilinski

Eternity

Why are days looking like endless lifetimes,
Mistimes of pastimes...

As all I have is a mortal heart...
Foretime the thwart, an impart.

Stranger Visions of Our Fleeting Lifetimes

The die is cast
lungs turn to rust
another one bites the dust
Quick! Hide Roxy
Queen; she is a-coming!
Abandon Abadon's ship
Abandon tea
make way for the ancient mariner
Pigs to the sea.

In All Our Lifetimes

Would you believe we already met before
At the first Oak tree of an acre more? 
You're like a short-lived beautiful trail of light
I waited for you during my empty nights.

Do you remember what you said to me?
"In all our lifetimes, I will come to thee."
So I let you go without a slight remorse
Trusting time will bless us with its course.

Now, this is another lifetime yet you remain
The only person my hollow heart is chained
I'll keep the faith that what you said is true
If you can't come to me then I will go to you.

5 Decades, a Dozen Lifetimes

Born into an ordinary, churchgoing family
No one expected Satan to reign supreme
Relapse and rehab and sobriety chips
Postpartum vacations in the psych ward’s west wing
Three decades of life, aged twice as much
Finally lulled into domestic bliss
The wild can never truly be tamed
Excitement and fire I missed
Turned my passion of life toward writing instead
Cause 50 years old is too young to be dead

Death Invites No Fear

(blank verse)


Not long, but clear and strong, came Dad to me.
He'd died six months ago, grief still my decree,
yet Dad's words steered me away from tragedy.
This gave me proof that death invites no fear.
Souls ebb and flow, roll like ocean's own tide.
Death must be two doors, one souls pass through,
and one love-sealed to hold humans earth bound.
When flesh life dies, one's spirit life remains
on journeys aptly mapped for souls' growth-gain.

Each soul endures umpteen human lifetimes
'til spirit consciousness shines light divine.
Now mortal senses hold the universe,
when spirit senses would spare us our worst.
In race and gender, many are fast wrapped,
yet death shakes gone both sad, human rigged facts.
Misplaced emphasis could be what ends us.
When spirit sense outweighs human nonsense,
we shall seal heavenly wrapped, peaceful traits.

Lifetimes of Lies

I was so young the first time,
like many others.
Santa Clause,
The lie should be a crime.
A bit older and in school,
like many others.
Our history,
Lieing is the Golden rule.
And now a bit older still,
like many others.
Love is forever,
He lied for his thrill.
Now all grown up,
like many others.
Freedom,
I'm fed, on lies I sup.
I fell for these once,
like many others,
I'm sure mores to come.
I won't believe,
I'm not a dunce.

Many Lifetimes

Incarnations of many lifetimes
sweep before me...
Liberating my soul's chants 
As universal notes of music
Float on vibrant strands of color, 
Phasing purple, pure and light, 
In violet vibrations, swirls of
Incandescent glitter shimmers
Drawn by gravity in downward drifts.
Flaming candle's smoky essence 
Mixes with incense of sandalwood
In a wafting waltz of vertigo.
Past and present intertwine
Lacing love with pulsing pain.
Effervescent breath is shallowed
By visions from the living dead.

8600 Lifetimes Later In My Mind

a soda fanatic
a tv hound
an armchair fiend
a couch potato....fried....not baked

i am fooling myself here
i miss you and that's just why
too bad you are no longer here to hear it
it is six years exactly today
the inhaler still sits by the picture you took twenty-four hours before
when i said goodnight to you, i never thought i would really be saying goodbye

a sucker for tearjerkers
a new connoisseur of tragic plays
a soap opera rookie....blue....not green
