SEEDS OF PERPETUITY

SEEDS OF PERPETUITY 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just beneath the surface of our daily lives, a deep current flows, the subtle murmur of a forgotten agreement, the shimmering echo of the original dream held within each soul. This dream is a fragile thing, flickering in and out frequently doused by the clamor of the world, immediate needs, expectations, and

In Perpetuity

Offensively defensive posturing
No stopping in sight
No reflection in view

Poisonous to everyone around you
Syphoning greed at record speed
Unchecked unseen
Hollowing the land

Blindly defending your position
Against any raised hand
Any voice of reason

How did we even get here?

We’d have to go back
160 years or so
To explain what should have been buried
A hatred left to fester
A war lost but never

Poe In Perpetuity

deck is stacked with black cats
   hungry and forlorn
      pressing in

   bolts of thunder -
blinded with cacophonies

   the ace of spades -
fear, bad luck, hatred, war
worry lines, frowns, battle torn 

     coal, night, pitch -
the starry night, disoriented

A Door To Perpetuity

A Door To Perpetuity 


       We pose the most daunting question: is there a door to perpetuity?

      Are there entities alluring believers to succumb to its bottomless sea?

    Has anyone sensed fear from others willing to question yet dare not ask?

Alive

For billions of years
I did not exist.
Then I existed
for a little while.
Soon I will return
to not existing
for the rest of time.

Pearls of Perpetuity

PEARLS OF PERPETUITY 

Memorable jaunt, one never to daunt.
Returned very gaunt, yet pearls she doth vaunt.
Pallor didn’t want. Now spectre doth haunt.

Calligraphy font of eccentric aunt.
Executor chaunt - ridiculous flaunt.
Niece struts pearls to taunt - doppelgänger wont.

Moral Ambiguity and Perpetuity

Moral Ambiguity and Perpetuity 

Trump has turned into a terrible tactician
Trails he will take leave us with suspicion,
Due to what is now his poor visual acuity
Along with moral ambiguity and perpetuity;
In White House started another stupid tradition.

Love In Perpetuity

 Joanna Davis

You can pass it on, with just a touch,
It really doesn't take too much.
A wink, a smile... unspoken look,
There is no end...to love’s great book.
Your heart will feel, soul can tell,
Passions rise, to form a spell.

Once it’s cast, none can break,
All earthly riches you’ll forsake.
To feel its heat. Breathe it in...
Love’s not a
