Off the Shelf

I've been sitting up here day after day and months on end, and please, let's not talk about years. I watch you stare at me when you think I'm unaware. I see you vacillate between life's mundane and the big, beautiful me, and oh, how I cringe when you buckle to those artificial fears.

This old, stale dust has covered me, concealing my illustrious shine. Please know I am forever in your heart and indelibly in that beautiful mind.

You were made imperfectly, but you have been so faithful. I've seen your long nights and slow days. Oh my! What we can and should be is so bountiful.

It is no accident that I was born in your heart and aggrandized in your mind. Come on now, take me off this shelf, and clean me up. The world is waiting; let's get in line.

The bumps, accidents, detours, and road construction along the way enticed you to put me back on this darn shelf. Sure, we have had to remap a time or two or three. But this journey must continue; we have our help.

I see the cuts, scrapes, bruises, mental anguish, pain, and frustration you bear. But you're still standing, so take me off this shelf, and let's get there.

I'm still waiting! But don't make me wait much longer. It's time to eat; let's feed this born hunger.

Poof! Poof!

You Miss Me, Yes I Know

In rainbow heaven where the flowers scent my path 
there is a little pedestal that was built by you 
it is there I go to stand and watch you from above
remembering the fun we had and how you made me glad 

In rainbow heaven no more tears, just smiles  
and lots and lots of treats, with other cats like me 
upon a base I stand aggrandized by your loving heart 
praying that you will surely know, I'm bathing in the afterglow

In rainbow heaven where the bridge of love is sealed 
I was owned by you, and so I am yours  
if there is a rainbow heaven where all pet owners go 
I will go to wait for you, arriving right on cue 

In rainbow heaven where the flowers grow,  
you miss me, yes I know !

Who Speaks Now

The educational forest has thickened
 I can't see the forest from the trees,
are they Republican or Democrat?
 voices once spoke out without a doubt
a lost message loud and clear for change,
 those voices have since been silenced
by the onslaught of time and age, untempered truths.

Who speaks now?
Is it only the loudest voices
 shouting bullies and the braggarts
who wave and aggrandized their failures as achievements,
 the gray men staunch in their self-centered ways
unwinding progress and holding time hostage
 to the dreams and successes of yesterday,
the future of possibilities.

These are the times that try men's souls
 looking back and tossing out the compromise
of a warring world seeking peace and conjoined hands
 where power-hungry individuals take charge not to lead
but to satisfy, enrich and praise themselves above all others;
 one giant step for the political bureaucracy
no small steps for the average man.
America is better than this.

Dilemma

Although you thought it loud to me
How unwanted I would always be
After you swept me off my feet
To only toss me to the streets


Although you cursed my truthful care
And rare faith that’s unfound here
And upon bruised my love so true
Real love that chose to care for you

You took away my smiling face
With it you took my best grimace
And was seized my laughter too
Along with it my feelings true

My heart is stressed from cursing thee
It pounds; it beats as it grows weak
My whole being hates your memories
Irony; craves your company

An outcast lost in your own heart
I weep, I wail in woman’s land
And thus has none to console me
In all this pain, that’s all but sweet

Although your eyes still comfort me
Lost in your gaze, I find relief –
Although your smile still consoles me
Rejection wakes my unbelief

When in your face I find kindness
Warmth and embrace of loveliness
Just then withdrawn, your heart and care
You seek not I, you seek one else

An empty box, a hungry hole
Has swallowed all to remain so
I despise you so much my dear
But would give all to have you near

Aggrandized hurt, and agony
Can one feel so, and keep “to breathe”?
Each time the thought, “not having thee”
Nearby enough, so I’d be free

Thief of always, beautiful curse
You make me soar, then make me fall
Eternal dream I wield awake
All yours to give, more so to take.

Elusive Ephemeral Ethereal Expansive Timelessness

Elusive Ephemeral Ethereal Expansive: Timelessness

Analogous to mobius strip -
     measured passage of existence
     only took precedence
     with *****sapiens ascendent
busting forth upon
     the figurative pedestal
     presiding over domain,
     sans Earthly covenant

a bajillion ago,
     where fits and starts
     pitted proto humans
     at no immediate advantage,
     yet merely, thru
     dint of accidental
     happenstance ever so
     imperceptibly amassed dominion

     over every other species
     as became evident
throughout the vast sweep of
     anthropological 
     evolutionary incidental
plucky perturbations, provocations,
     and/or pullulations arisen by
     spontaneous circumstantial grant

ting quasi consciously
     coalescing into brutish
     deliberated focused intent,
where forethought 
     coopted indiscriminate
     chance facilitating kent -
manifested rubber
     baby buggy bumpers

     activated, aggrandized, and
     allotted destiny meant
to lurch incrementally
     i.e. hierarchical designation
     present day primate
     predecessors practiced negligible
     notched nimbleness orchestrated
     (equal parts gall and genetic

     giftedness), whatsapp operant
adaptation toward
     survival rippled quiescent
lee minutely nudging overt salient
traits ineluctably
     manifesting, outflanking,
     and proffering 
     quintessential urgent

biological scrim quietly testing,
     and wrestling, whence yen
     (to secure rootedness)
     zeroing what didst warrant
winning formula
     to adapt adroit edge
     pitted by dictates of nature
grappling iron
 
     grip, viz literal hedge
fund and kickstarting toehold
     upon tenuous ledge
(oft times succumbing to danger)
     falling into abyss
     of anonymity pledge
jing acquired innovative tool
     such as a primitive sledge

hammer instinctively
     resigning animal instinct
     death be not proud not
     before inculcating
     survivalist tactical wedge.


Quiet Happy

A whisper gently in the night 
One that sweetly lingers into daylight 

And into days, weeks, months, and years 
Quietly walking in faith and extirpating all fears 

Silently working like a Yeoman 
Standing on my square, firmly holding the master plan 

From a long ago when you first whispered to my soul 
And over time you have quietly aggrandized me, now making me whole 

Like a mighty crescendo as the song plays 
A lovely melody now playing in my days 

Triumphantly to a new...
So far from few 

Now abundance all around...
Sweet blessings from fertile ground 

A new day has gloriously dawned...
Big dreams and visions have beautifully spawned

An a Lesson - Ca

Angels observe in un-articulated anguish from above,
 anxiety afflicted by appalling accelerated ambition of the aggregate  
that redefines the archaic, apocalyptical allure 
 driving humanity to its brink of active self annihilation;
those moments of antiquated adversarial abstractions
 when history goes awry in its accursedness
 revels the atrocious alienation of poverty ignored,
that hidden appetency wherein
 the very acquiescence of its anticipated allure, 
 blinds us in our astigmatism that can anesthetize living well;
 the assuage ascendancy of life's pain and amplified existence
briefly lingers, dies 
 as we absolve ourselves with abstinence
 surpassing the more auspicious moments lost
 when we could have been assertively aggrandized, 
to become
 more augmented humanity.

In the imagery network of intricate design,
layer on layer, the metaphoric mind is stratified,
the levels of innate awareness are aligned
with the unique perspective patterns unified.

Many elements of the singular identity secures 
access to the secret sanctum of psychic recess,
transcend the timeless thresholds of joy and pain, 
as senses merge with the supreme consciousness.

My metamorphosed mind turns into an inventor,
makes a mirror with the luster of mirage for me.
I look into it reaching the self-aggrandized oasis, 
where it is only me as Narcissus I always see.

The blow of tormenting time breaks the mirror,
my ethereal essence transforms it into a window.
I see the twilight gleam shimmer in the horizon, 
beckons me to start a new journey before sundown.

I travel within as an introspective probing voyager, 
perceive the eternal soul in the alcove of bliss,
suffusing me with the absolute aura of divinity,
I get liberated from the hold of mortal abyss.
