Three Steps To

The stone laid plans 
erected in the Age of Man
are starting to cave in
Their sky towers scraping the blue stratosphere
has begun to crumple
under the oppressive weight of floating spore fear

It’s fungi clear as a glowing...

The Age Of Man
The Age of Man

We carried on
The age of man
Till moon of tin bore
An electric sun

And all machines 
Shone bright and clean
Keeping silent
But wanting more

Till the purpose mind
Did loose its time 
In idle waves lament
Through prostitution...

Stifled cries
No concern for the black man until the black man dies
Images of black and blue flash before my eyes
How many times?
Unprotected our men go into the world
Our protectors unafraid to kill even in front...

The Sun Burns East To West
(Earth's creation to the end of the last Ice Age)
© 2008 (Jim Sularz)

Sun’s first rise over life-less skies, the earth cools, and the waters pool -
the Sun Burns East to West.
And the planet’s broken plates...

October Rain
Sitting in a bar
In a pensive state
Watching the sun set
And the nightly madness begins
 
As I drink
My dismal, damned draft
Dram of drunken dream desire
 
I am drawn to memories
Perhaps best left dead
And buried deep inside
My...

as the Golden Age of Man comes to an end,
passing like silver moons' phases to another cycle of time,
and the fortunes of both man and of woman,

Do I fear life of does life...

A Grain of Salt
A man, 20 years of age, another man, 40 years of age

The young man in his inexperience asks the 40 year old man
"You've lived twice my life, whats your advice?"
The older man pauses
Reflecting on his...

Sands of Time

these grains of sand passing by I find
are like the memories of lives gone past
and as these sands of time flow through my mind
I wonder when I will find the key at last

Premium Member Pondering Late Autumn and the Coming Chill
The golden leaves have made their show
that always comes this time of year,
but now as limbs are looking bare,
an umber blanket covers ground.

I’ve seen the harvest moon on high
as farmers reap what they have sown
when...

What time is this?
What age of man?
My body feels so broken.
What day is it?
What place is this?
I’ve nothing left to try; I have done all I could.


Who knows what will become of my...

Musical-Moonlight Sonata
A quiet...soft resolute theme plays
The low tunes of the piano ascends.
A sequence of sound radiates, 
The tones hum...words of passion,
Reverberating...serenading a quiet night.

Echoing...deep in his prodigious soul,
In dedication to a fellow muse,
A pupil...Countess Giulietta Guicciardi.

The River
The river.


In waves it flows and rages full;
In moonlight it slows and trickles still.
In sunshine it roars a tumultuous call.
The river flows throughout the seasons and throughout the hills.


Down in the valley, the water still...

And eons past how it began
Beginning with the age of man

To search for food without delay
Or searched for food by other prey

No comes quickly to my lips
underneath the wave of lies
truth drowns and loses grip
Off the end

Shinning panda bears
Careless
Care less
