Hawkings Paradox

“Another game?”
“Yes, I think so but let’s change
the rules. What if we create some
holes in the game, three or four
perhaps with parallel endings?”
“Yes, I think that would be fun.”

Who predetermines the rules? 
What if you step over a crack in the sidewalk, 
And the rules become inverted 
Finding you are younger than when 
You walked out the door in the morning?.
Unable to remember exactly where you are
At this moment. Unnerving. Like a giant
Pinball game, worlds flicker from one
Universe to another, bouncing off
Each other into the vast chaos
Of empty space-time. A troubling thought
When everything has to be so ordered.
Measured to an infinite set of 
Rational equations that spin themselves
Out to the edges of galaxies seen from a million
Light years. Stretched taut across the sky, and
Still we expand the search.

What if there are monsters and jesters sulking 
About the universe? Existing on parallel planes 
Where we play out endings for their
Amusement. They move us like chess pieces
On a game board, further into the
Blackened heavens, expanding outwards and
Beyond to what we comprehend as our 
Very existence. Game pieces moved
Against a clock as we wander the 
Night sky to the back streets of the universe 
Asking is there anyone out there?  
Always the same questions,
Always with different answers.

How far is far enough? Perhaps we are
Moving on a river, afloat in endless space.
Travelers searching for the shoreline
And a place that seems vaguely familiar, trying to
Recall where we were a few moments ago.
Anything is possible. What if the journey 
Takes forever? And we find ourselves standing
At the abyss of space being sucked into
One of the game’s black holes, 
Able to view our beginning in our end. 
A tiny speckle of an atom floating alone 
In nothingness. All we have ever known 
Is reconstituted in the spinning hole, 
Billions of thoughts wallpapered; nothing
Ever lost. We speculate, conjuring up theories
With eloquent additions and subtractions, and all
We can do is hope for the best. A game played
Over and over, with no rules, no winner. 
Hawking’s Paradox.

Do I even have the right to assk of another person to delve into my crap and give a rats ass???? Is there enough love to run the gamit, to render yrself oneself uncompliant for a moment to staiate another human, with altruism to get them by and expect nothing in  return, as we all believe in the KARMA that is a final, unrequited reward for good and love. Be it all ye may and give all.

Ink Stains

Taste the ink
that runs from my veins,
    through my pen,
       staining this page
as I set
my endarkened imprint on society,
the signature
           of a melancholy soul.

I spread my mists of verse
across this parchment
to tickle the emotions
of the masses,
   awakening them
from the doldrums of routine,
     encroaching
 their own hidden thought
like I had clawed them
out of their heads.

Those destructive intentions,
    severing flesh,
        splattering blood
and little morsels of meat,
       creating impressionistic art
  on the walls
       of their safe little dwellings.

Hellonic landscapes,
    reddish smoke
  seeping from fissures
in a volatile ground,
twisted trees
  barely seven feet tall
hanging on
    like a gnarled old man
on life support
    sparsely scattered 
about the sandstone bluffs,
spiraling dust devils
   dancing about
       spitting dirt
in the air
   as if it offended them,
leaving dull tan voids
    in the sky
distorting the crimson hue
that clings above
  the deteriorating,
        jagged spikes
that scratch 
    at heaven’s gates,
  holding back 
the water laden clouds
that have been trying to cry
       on this parched earth
             for eons.

The instigation
    of my imagination
 is a mere speckle
in the nuances of the night,
         a slight glitter
    that my cataclysmic mind
    (a)
  preys upon.
These stanzas
    have been developing 
since time itself,
I just snatch them out of the air
    like an Archer fish
launching a stream of water
  to score my next meal,
laying them to bed
         as I see fit,
tucking them in with punctuation
and my unexplainable determination
         to release expression.

Taste what flows
  from my quill,
    it might entice you
to be the next scribe.

Diamond

I was born a rock
On some nondescript plateau,	
The sort of stone that just blends in
With the mountain’s scenic pose.
They taught me how to follow
What nature brings my way,
And life as a rock was boring
Because it repeated every day.
Inside my little pebble brain
I heard a daring voice,
That told me how I lead my life
Is really all my choice
It told me I had splendor
That resided deep within me,
And if only I’d discover it
I’d be a shining beauty.
I still lived with the rocks
To the world, one tiny speckle.
But in my heart of hearts 
I knew that I was special.
I was living for a purpose
That one day I would discover,
For such beauty would not be bestowed
With no chance to uncover.
On the day a tall man took me
Anticipation filled my stone,
For maybe he would help me
Make my inner beauty known.
With this mindset in my head
I did not fill with fear,
When he produced a set of tools
And held me in the air.
Finally a chance to prove
What I’ve been guarding all my life!
But I let out a small gasp 
When he chose his chisel knife.
A knife is sharp, the blade is cruel
How would I survive?
While he chiseled at my body,
Would I cope and stay alive?
I made a strong decision
Through this torture I would stand,
I’d be proud to see the end results
And prove it to this man.
The chiseling was painful
But I accepted without questions
For I knew this all was necessary
In my ultimate progression.
And from my little rock-self 
Once just a speckle in the soil,
With carving and precision
Came a diamond for the royal.
Diamonds aren’t born
They don’t merely just grow,
They’re a product of hard work
And pain from the chisel’s blow.
There’s beauty in each one of us
A potential to unlock,
Remember that a diamond’s worth 
More than a peaceful rock.

Invisible Mansion Dedicated To Mr Edgar Allan Poe

Banished for years

I found myself wandering around on a sacred land

away from my normal life 

I found sanctuary and peace in a unknown place

the stiff pacification allowed me to hear the

second hand stroke on the clock

everyday as the calignosity approached I would feel 

a alacritous breeze on my right shoulder blade 

without indecisiveness I continued to enjoy myself

turbulent and exasperated  paying little attention to 

the paranormal activity surrounding me 

until a horde of banshees swarmed me

I had no idea what commenced this fright 

my legs and feet were benumbed 

I started to believe I didn’t belong in this place anymore

After being forthrightly besieged

almost sure that these incorporeal beings 

wouldn’t understand my chronic vagabondage

It was time to migrate I was typhlotic to the fact 

that it was an invisible mansion

where a shipwreck caused  their souls to be buried their some even alive

I can hear the never ending snivelling in the dead of the night 

penetrateing their voices into my ears

trying to abscond I became convulsed

the strange breeze brushed my shoulder blade again

only this time it stayed “what do you want?”

I asked the strange cadaverous speckle flash

it flashed at the entry walk way showing me an invisible door

that I had walked into a haunted invisible mansion

and could not get out until they released me

my eyes instantly became blood shot red

furious and rampageous I  tried to run away but was pushed

to and fro by an unseen force was I indeed trapped in another dimension

I asked myself without skepticism I was ambushed

Prologue

I remember standing with my feet in the laughing waters of the lake
Watching a feather float on by 
Slowly down the shoreline it went
As if I was meant to follow it and so I did just that

I followed the feather
With its black tip and two stripes
Splashing along after it
In the cold waters 
With the sands between my toes

The sun shinning brightly above me through speckle clouded sky
Where a cooling breeze whispered in across the waters
To soothe my skin and breathe upon my face
Lightly run its fingers through my hair

And there on the lakeshore I came upon her
Beautiful with her black hair
Like the daylight shooting stars cascading through the sky above us
White dress and smile . . . 

A smile such that it held fast my breath
Across her eyes it fell sweetly, tenderly in her lips and cheeks
Sheathed by her hair swaying in the wind’s soft touch

She held the feather in her hand
Her eyes met mine and there in the early morning light of summer’s sighing
I did speak to she . . .

“That’s my feather,” my voice it whispered hardly more than a breath

“It’s beautiful,” said she with a soft voice and shy smile

And still when she smiled I remembered everything
I remembered her
I remember you
As my little fingers with the fullness of life yawning before them 
Tied the feather into your hair
I remembered in a wash of tears streaming down my soul, 
I do, I do, I did and I will again . . .

“My name’s Navriss,” I sighed and though I could not see through these tears

“Hi,” I heard you say. “My name is Rhane.” 

And I remembered then . . .

A smile

Awakenings

For years she had slowly slid from well cared for home 
to musky boxes and rugs.
Sitting in a chair, watching old movies,
pretending the devastation around her had not occurred.

Her senses deadened, she neither saw the clutter
nor smelt the molding curtains and blackened sheets.
She had no thoughts or energy for family, friends or foe,
much less her beloved art molding in a box.

Every once in a while, a quicksilver dream
would pop its head above the murkiness 
that surrounded her core,
only to dissolve in lack of interest.

The life blood of her inner landscape
dripped and pooled around her veneer,
as with agony her soul dies again.
Her eyes turn inward at the cry of death
and she sees the carnage that has been created.

She asks the ageless questions,
What is untrue,
What do I know and wish I didn’t,
What rotted corpse have I let lie within me?

What, natural to her being, kills each bud she tries to raise?
At attention now, she looks at what she cannot bear to see.
Awakening from the winter, she rises stronger,
more furiously determined, realizing she has slowly starved
 to the point of a gun to the head.

The questions have been raised, 
now she must root out the answers,
before the land is barren, no spark of life remaining.

The small speckle of light must blossom
and fill all her horizons
within the darkened cavities of her soul.
The wise woman seeks the power 
that comes from the deep dusky gloom.

Even when the bones appear quite cold,
Still they can to vibrancy return.
She slowly sings them back to life.

The Mirror

The Mirror 

I looked into a mirror 
and wondered what I had seen 
it was a tiny child 
I don’t know where she’d be

She was no more than 3 or 4  
No plight upon her face 
No frets, no worry
An unbridled flurry 
of simple endless grace 

I said dear girl don’t you doubt 
the world is hard to figure out

You’ll find your steps will soon be drawn 
in lines along the sand
In good time it will all unwind 
your mysteries at hand

I looked into a mirror 
and there beside a chair 
there stood this youthful woman 
with baby’s breath amidst her hair

Look at you the old and new 
a speckle of baby blue

A life of dreams sewn in the seams 
of that pure and perfect garb

I said dear woman don’t you worry 
and most of all please no hurry

Beset the fullness of that smile 
all along the spotlight aisles 
yet before your feet

In every fork upon the branch 
this tree has yet to give
A life set down upon a frown 
is not a friends reprieve

I looked into a mirror 
and there held in your arms
a quiet squirming ever yearning 
blossom of your tree

Beset upon your face 
I see that hard held smile
You’ve carried those words ever true 
for this your grandest aisle

I looked into a mirror 
a star filled sky of times
The quest to all 
the worlds
wonders, whats and whys

It’s in this mirror I have seen 
each cloud of doubt pass by...
None were there for long enough 
I am sure I know just why

It’s in that mirror always there 
at the corner of each view
A recalled tiny child 
The child I call you

Two Faces, the Sea

Soft flows the ripples near days end, so calm and vast.
Gentle and smooth is your skin, unbroken, untouched
Dancing in hills and valleys to the music of the tender dusk wind.
Deep under the top life does thrive.
Shallow to the human eye yet unfathomable in meaning.
Like liquid silk to even the rough ones touch.

Descends upon your face the magnificent setting sun,
The ball of fire; yellow, orange, violet and red,
Reflected off you to match the splendor of the image fed.
Twinkle and sparkle one last time does your pride,
Illuminating your beauty 10 fold of the sun,
Jealous does get even the magnificent one.
Hiding behind trees, and the ground
Disappears does the mighty sun ashamed of defeat, behind the horizon.

Your downy bright attitude and twinkling snow-white,
Engulfed in a cloak, that dreaded night.
Mysterious and dark or so you seem, 
But that same magnificent beauty, even behind your cloak, you do redeem.
Act as a mirror, do you, to the intoxicating goddess of night,
Full and proud she does shine.
Her followers, small but bright speckle your dark cloak with light.
Long became the shadows made by trees upon your skin,
Cold became your flesh like blood of ones who sin.
That eerie silence you now hold broken by a wolf’s howl.
You, mistress of darkness, den of sea serpents past; queens of mystery, and all 
else follows.

You, the mysterious enlightened one, with faces two and many more, each within 
its own beauty.
To praise thee incompetent am I, I look upon thee, “oh beauty”, I say with a sigh.
