Emil CioranI've been fed a prune of life,
Spooned it silver, everlasting.
I spat it out to seek a knife,
To chop and cease it of forecasting.
The birth is reason as much itself:
Not 'yond the self conceived.
Wrote for book on busy shelf,
Whose tales unread aren't grieved....

A Statement May Be a QuestionHe slipped away? Or did they take him?
Stranger things have happened, have they not?
Why do I ask so many questions of myself?
Or am I asking questions of him?
I could make statements.
He went off of his own accord.
This is one of his stranger happenings.
I have to ask so many questions.
So, this could be a question.
Or is...

Come What MayCome What May...
When tears don’t say – because you pray
It will be okay, when you see the light of day
Time will reveal, the story of His will
Whatever comes, whatever sorrow – so still
I know the music of His grace in each glimpse of His face
Glimpses of hope, portrayed on the sunrise, in the stars
Glimpses of...

May Hope and Faith set you free
By Michelle Morris

You read a poem about the Good Bones
And I could feel your sadness
Those words about unkind people
How the World was filled with madness
But even if there's just one
One little Light in the Dark
It can create a ripple
Ignite...

How may we know Godsmall baby steps, one at a time
take us to our destination
ladder of life let’s slowly climb
at peace in tranquil cessation
we dwell in form by night and day
and therefore we are hypnotised
but in the void of cessation
truth of God can be realised
let us celebrate the stages
of our spiritual ascent
inspired by counsel of sages
to accord love...

MayThere are towel-drying winds.
parks grow soggy with small dogs.
May is an old man riding a bike backwards.
It is oil for the broken engine in the barn.
Wetness folds this way and that
the sky unzips a larkish sunshine.
We hear nestlings in their reservoirs of dew.
New life bubbles in puddles,
the green and tufted arrive out of nowhere,
boys' fish...

By May, three months went passed,
We enjoyed three day trips to the nature.
We respected and polite to each other.
Somehow I started having feelings for you.
I knew from the beginning,
Our relationship could not go beyond than this.
But my brain could not control my heart,
So it started to contemplate some ideas,
By not using the facilities at...

Things may not be quite as they seem
There is order to my chaos
an urgency to make things right
I have ambitions I can taste
dreams that must be set in motion
once I see the morning light
There is order some my chaos
a plan when all you see is madness
I fear that I’ll run out of time
I long to leave my affairs most orderly
A fine book...

scent of MayThe scent of May draws me to the lilac bush
It has blossomed this year into a tall tree
Her fragrance is unmistakable
Her blooms seem darker than ever
She awakens my sense of joy
I am in awe of this purple queen
Do you smell the lilac? I ask a little one
She nods, but I wonder
Is she smelling lilac or...

The ocean may

as breaking waves chance with her voice —
to work down tears in salty poise,
The ocean may

Bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail, 31 May, 1970B-52: a city on its own.
You mess with us, we’ve got technology.
I loved it when we flew into the zone:
as Ernie said, “We’ll kill ’em till they’re free.”
My job? To watch the black cascade of death
and myriad explosions in the woods:
Louisiana lilt – “You hold your breath,”
that’s Ernie’s voice – “delivering the goods!”
The pretty...
