Long Happenchance Poems

Forty-Eight that parallel...
above which no man need go.
For there doth dwell the demon...
with his sultry bride from hell.

Water's frozen, sky's a'fire...
sea o'forsaken desire.
Doth sure now lure a'many sailor-lad...
'twixt depths of irk and ire.

So 'twas set...

" Ship of Doom "

Ship of doom so sailed to sea ~
Dark her course... 'twas meant to be ~

Into seas this great ship sped ~

Just north of the moon, past the fourth star 
crossing over Orion’s belt we...

Far distanced from noisy clanker 
We offer no anchor for rancour

Going in deeper, we attempt to...

The day after

This evening saddens me, right now Thailand
celebrates the New Year with fireworks
pathetic lives for a moment lit up by artificial stars
In three hours, time, it is our turn to shine  
be blinded...

" Bright of Gold "

Their way was fraught with circumstance,
Their path to bright of gold.
Their day was bound in happenchance,
Or so their story is told.

Trek they did to mountain peak,
Among them seldom found a care.

When it Comes to Aging

By happenchance of birth---
Circumstances of life withstanding---
We enter into life, with genes marking
Our attributes of features obtaining

See my Mother and her ancestors
