Part 17

a kitchen drawer filled with throwaway lines
taped across the raw spots
itching festering inquiries eh inspector
asking the unavoidable
if we know how we got here
there's a better chance to know
where the fated flatulence we are going

NOT incarnated in an unlight inside this Great Hookworm's duotoroidal traumedy-

NOR feverously skeined 'tween the Void's warp-weft over timeleft psukhai shivering-

NIL latency in thoughtfoam friths or thrice-past-madness witnesses to Tantalus' entelechy.


IT wasn't borne on echoes...

Deep poetry has its own reality
Instrumental in setting the mind free
From the confinement of this mundane world
Transporting us to wondrous realms untold 

It is manifested in Blake's poetry
Which uplifts the mind and sets it free

When at a festive  dance we met
In gold were those  dear moments set.
We synchronised so sweetly
Without any  gaucherie.
The hours like  fleeting seconds sped
Our present to our future wed
But that reverie did...

When arrogance pursues a despot spire
through dominance consumed with vain conceit,
‘tis but a trait that sets the world afire
as ignorance lets history repeat.

They see the presage warning of reprise
and vestal omens common sense should heed.

Embark on a journey to the world within,
Where you are the garden, the desert, and the ocean's kin.

The Unsupervised Stop Sign 10-26-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Unsupervised Stop Sign

STOP!
Red lights flash crimson warnings
As arias of bloodred omens swirl about
My heedless headstrong rush past clanging signs
Into a deserted briar filled footpath in desertion.

SLOW DOWN!
Before unattended bowers of...

“Robin Redbreast in a cage,”
So sweet this line from a bygone age!
 But now ‘tis not the heavens that rage;
‘tis Raging Ram who now holds stage.
 Raging Ram, who’s that? you ask.

When spring dies shall the valley shines,
And by the light of night quivering heart away,
Yet through beauty morning confines,
Till that ripe in please, so a master archway

Oh! Patience, My Love.


Have hit both my eyes an unknown storm --
the undoer of my marry Spring,
is beneath my brow a gushing form,
does a drench'd cheek to a yearner bring.
My auguries, that once blessed with...

The Auguries of  Mary Magdalene 
David J Walker

I saw Mary Magdalene 
Sitting on the stone bench 
Near your grave
Was she here for you

Your absence

A distant dampness wrings the air.
A weight most profound presses chest
as indrawn breath holds silent;
in the stonehedge of overwhelming gloom.
So, the mighty have fallen 
auguries of a mortal doom.

Without missive,

onto a...

In that endless night
we heed; cold and bitterness
unto the morning light
Sightless vision binds our eyes
madness disembarks into our lives
A cold dark prison earned
is the bittersweet sentence served
A life stolen and a life lived in hush

WINTER JOURNEY’S END

Their calculations must have been at fault
Their instruments in need to calibrate

Verdant leaves clung to trees; the month was June
Whispered troths of love, sacred vows were said
