Premium Member The Darkened Sky Stole My Tears

Darkness devours my miserly despondent room.
Wide windows covered shutting all luminous light
A taciturn thief that stole even the stars.
I sigh, a sudden suffering, it steals my sorrow from my eyes.
“The Darkened Sky Stole My Tears.”  


She had left for good, no reason given.
Sorrowful soreness cling to my weary heart.
I feel a dreadful dirge hurting inside my breast,
My humble heart dances a worthless wake.
And still no sign of a flash of light in the dark.

My heart beats an echo of an illogic rhythm.
A mournful lullaby comes and goes in my head.
I curse the hush of darkened air, desperate echoes.
The mournful dirge suddenly flickers light
Through louvers and then I find my dreadful tears.

Wrong is right and right is wrong.
Long is short and short is long.
Black is white and white is black.
Toilet paper we may lack.

All is zero. Zero’s all.
There’s no writing on the wall.
Down is up and up is down.
The scientist is now a clown.

Toes need hands and hands need feet.
Siberia does not need heat.
Cold is hot and hot is cold.
The old are young; the young are old.

Kitties bark and dogs meow.
There is no need of money now.
In shadows, shine. In sunlight, lurk.
He who works hard is a jerk.

Harsh noises blind, and snow storms burn.
No child is left behind. All learn!
Illogic see and reason lose.
Never have to pay your dues!

Dead’s alive; alive is dead.
To sleep well, do not go to bed!
Straight is crooked; Crooked’s straight.
Does heaven even have a gate?

Hell is heaven; heaven’s hell.
All humanity is well.
Light is dark and dark is light.
Peaceful earthlings like to fight.

The rich are poor; the poor have riches.
Politics leave us in stiches.
Night is day and day is night.
Right is wrong and wrong is right.

...Apologies to Heraclitus and W. H. Auden...

We, defeated by the merest things,
in defeat, endure...for now.

No abiding truth in faith:
origins and destinations
we cannot differentiate,
all random, unguided
by any prescient power;
but, not illogical
(there is no illogic.)

We impose all universal order,
influence what subsequently occurs,
to learn, or not, through endless repetition,
endless failure...and we are
but a current iteration,
here for now -- in constant flux,
defeated by the merest things.

Courage and nobility derived
from continued confrontation,
continued endless struggle,
let us show an affirming flame.

Overdraft Paralyzing Sucker Punch

White as a sheet ghostly color,
sans countenance of mine
impossible to differentiate between
Lenovo external screen background
myopia no deterrent as jaw slackened
upon Citizens Bank notification

current spate of ill health
(relentless stomach virus)
triggered emotional state
Kamikaze nose dived
into forbidding deathwish
gastrointestinal Civil War

relentlessly raged kickstarting
linkedin body, mind, spirit
emergency necessitating transfer of funds,
and/ or anonymous philanthropic injection
to staunch, stave, and stay hemorrhaging,
whereby checking account

beyond restoration, sans life support
heroic measures sense (cents) less,
now, mine entire being
excruciating figurative explosion,
viz rapidly fired projectile
as if "FAKE" mandibles bit the bullet

self destruction declaration reactivated
casus belli (caused by ache'n belly)
just on cusp of recovery
succumbed to lowest record nadir
kindling, sparking, and whip sawing
plea for salvation or termination,

mine abysmal ad hoc existence
evincing illogic, quixotic, tragic...
charade, facade, masquerade, et cetera
accursed woe synonymous with Sisyphus
condemned to Hades exhausting
arduous, laborious, torturous... punishment

social security disability deposit
congenital schizoid personality disorder
attendant anxiety, obsessive/ compulsive
disorder, panic marginally tempered
asper prescription medication
as each day of destitution,
offers smidgen alleviation!

Extinguish and Emblaze

We do not despise 
What God gave us 
We do not dislike 
Our countless flaws
We whom wonder hastily 
Clinching to life after life
Hanging on with no purposes
Just the desired selfishness
To be alive
Claiming to be depressed
Claiming to be out ruled
Outlived 
But who is it to blame
When one tries continually and repeatedly 
And the thing one desires 
Is not to be set in claim?
To live is to be alive
Cling to life 
Outspread life
And contaminate life 
But when one has the false desire 
To terminate life
One has gotten the opposite meaning of living
And other ones must help this one
Give him a better understanding
A better view
A brighter view of life
Or perhaps how foolish one could be to end such grace
How illogic and insane
Or perhaps ungrateful 
One could be to the creator 
To God 
To Allah 
To live fully 
Is to truly extinguish 
The bleak fire of one’s destruction 
And to emblazon the torch of existing gratitude


No Shucking Small Talk

Contains More Than Kernel Of Truthful 

alienation, expulsion, ostracization 
     from body politick 
     if member of society resistant, 
     indifferent, adamant, et cetera   

despite differentiation 
     (across the figurative board)
     intolerance opposing ethos, 
     asper unspoken social graces extant 

(albeit manifested amidst diverse 
     livingsocial variations) within
rubric of global civilizations primal, 
     oral, nonverbal, et cetera codas 

     automatically decreeing manual Kant
instilled from cradle 
     to grave impossible mission scant 
acceptance toward recalcitrant 
     challenging precepts via rave and/or rant

thus when born into whatever culture, 
     steeped with historical paradigm
one can protest superficial nigh cities 
     til ivy blue in the face, 

     or try to concoct a feeble rhyme
but culture club richly identified, endowed, 
     brewed from heritage long time 
ago until the cows come home to roost

hence creative pursuits one direction 
     can turn to swiftly tailor
if harried styled 
     with perceived restrictive parameters
 
     and cuss like a sailor 
     with song and dance routine
(perhaps appearing on Dancing 
     With The Stars), or

choosing subterfuge viz 
     writing nefarious malware code, where mailer 
     daemons spring to life, when computer code
     following infinitely jesting illogic causing exhaler

(case in point - myself, hoot 
     ends tubby humorous) as yukon gauge
yet another Internet end user might experience 
     greater reason to rage

against the machine before 
     turning rogue gushing renegade, stage
jing anarchy against disparity 
     with equal pay, cuz a working wage

aint nuttin boot peanuts 
so if strong willed, hook hairs 
     if you appear like a putz
just realize doggerel 
     of this pooch iz gaseous boot utterly without guts
and hangs around the junkyard 
     with other nerdy mutts.

Premium Member Purim Theorem!

Purim Theorem!

Rambam holds Hashem is math,
Hashem does not take a path,
Like “Squaring the Circle”,
Such is illogical,
Yet the Zohar differs on Hashem’s craft!

Witness the Aron anomaly,
Giving rise to a homily,
Finite length & width yet zero volume,
Boggling the mind, yielding it solemn,
Evoking Emunah more than normally!

Size yet no volume?
Anomaly! as in Shalom,
Moshe saw that the “Burning Bush”,
Was unconsumed, he didn’t silence: Hush!,
Risking ridicule, courage to be alone!

Moshe saw water & fire combine,
Hashem’s Shalom nonintuitively align,
Illogic surprise from mire,
Despair be gone!  Lost? A Divine sign!

Purim, 339 Before Common Era,
Hashem again was a true “Chevra”,
Upending Haman’s goose,
In a long necked noose,
Saving the Yidden from an evil schema!

Arrogance vanquished,
Anomaly? Yes by logic languished,
Expect the unsuspected,
Human reason dissected,
Headstand of man anguished!

“Shemayim’s” Burning Bush is a hymn,
Let the “Olam” Hear Him,
Again no novelty,
“Chiddush” renewal, an end to “Evilty!”
All Adds Up to Purim Theorem!

Jihad Donald Trump Style

The glory of America, 
now heats up
with agitation poised 
to strike on the brink
sans legislation incites humiliation,
which goads desecration
 
as fete accompli chink
in armor of Democratic rubric, 
constituting capitalistic
ethic, generic iconoclastic, 
and jingoistic logic,
nor budging an inch 

when mandating masses 
swallow his drink
what huff huck – 
this belligerent, dominant and
fervent hellraiser doth 
bungle in the jungle

decreeing tacit Marshall law 
fast as a shutterfly eyewink
as his cosmic crotch grab 
doth put Venus under his sway
with his Mercury hill temperament
pitches the orbit of planet Earth 

tubby comb out of balance
infected by hiz anti Jew pitter 
damnations, excoriations, fulminations
Huzzah sing how whiz derriere 
didst Sat urn simultaneously
crushing crucible as an Uranus

indiscriminately plopping 
two hundred fifty pounds of flesh
doubling down humming 
his favorite Neptune
that dost affect Pluto hoc crass sea
repeating a self coined motto – 

I yam almighty, therefore no fink
simply commandeering the reins of control,
a one man military intelligence groupthink
hut triad and true dyed in the wool 
rip pug in ant guise zing rogue
rejoicing tuff fool, governing and hoodwink

king the die hard fans of dictatorial, 
linkedin and monarchist ink
cube bus thriving on 
wielding indomitable aggression
practiced in the Art of the Deal 
incorporating an unanticipated jink

iron fist rule reigning down 
vis a vis pro pens heave lee 
and prop hen city
flashing hiz seal of approval, 
which scribbled signature
doth not smooth arctic monkey
 
serve hay puzzling kink
boot his frenzy to bulldoze 
catastrophic, formulaic, and illogic
spells these United States 
of America will become hell
in a handbasket worth repeating 

with nary a trace of the grit of link
kin, the sixteenth president, 
(whose ruggedly pioneering frontier existence)
found him steady and strong, 
plus soft hearted as pelt o’ mink
the epitome of this forty fifth 
elected commander in mischief.

A Coil of the Labyrinth

A coil of the labyrinth winds deep into the night. 
A path that is tortuous and falls 
into terror turning left then suddenly right.

Something sits in a dark room 
pondering the moves of kings. 
Hearts imagine a world of fire. 
Oppression of governments that are tangled 
in the web of the labyrinth, like mist.

The mind of a God-King; 
a man of Flesh and
Cyberdreams. 
An intelligence that damns all
is spoiled by the blood of the innocents.

The coil of the labyrinth. 
An enigma of future kings and minds of turmoil. 
An empire of illogic; Chaos in a sea of control. 
Coils wind deep into the Darkness…

The beast of myth is built by mankind. 
As minds ponder the moves of kings,
the assassination of Queens. 

Tangled in the coils of the spine. 
A maze is ablaze in holy fire. 
Labyrinth; it spirals deep 
into the dusky fortress of kingdoms to come.

A torrent path full of dread at every twist and
turn whines deep into the night. 

A path that is tortuous
falls into terror 
turning left 
then suddenly 
right.







…a traitorous path at night!
