I Drank from an Hourglass
It has long ceased to rain here. The embers of drought are fanned by the merciless Hands of hell. The air is stifling, The heat insufferable. I cringe from a long wait on a queue in the narrow Trench at a fast-drying Brook. I wait from the crack of dawn to vespers time, But not an iota of liquid The size of miniaturised Sri Lanka...

A Rock Is Not Just A Rock
Yes, my friend, it does look like a rock But it could be so much more All you have to do is look beyond Let your mind wander just a little bit Maybe that rock came to Earth long ago Bringing with it the stuff of life It may carry the bodies of the life it created A record of a time...

Premium Member Peace of Mind
During my time on our blue-green sphere, I sometimes feel turmoil, living here. I've found ideas I can release to ease my mind and give it peace. I do not need to have lots of things. Pleasure is found in what nature brings. I don't need to prove myself to my brothers. If I'm okay with me, I can forget the others. If...

Take heart, thou canst all I can
_____________________ When a mere mortal who thinks he is like zero and appeals as in ‘In a deal with thee’, God assures him, he’s no less than Him. He has immense potential in him. _________________________________ If I am unique, remember, Thou no less art, nor ‘nothing’ art, If I’m perfect, ye no less are, We two were at no...

Is It All In Vain?
Is It All In Vain? Experimental scientific observations inside a laboratory Consequential specific consecrations that combine to form a sacred story Monumental consternations that speak beyond the allegory Environmental commiserations as the situations become horrifically gory Enigmatic explanations that just want to prove a point for advertisement Autodidactic communications as they smoke another joint in aggrandisement...

Resisting The Repressing
Resisting The Repression Competition between a brother and sister Rendition of an eighties song all about how much he miss her War of attrition between two countries facing off without a resister Ambition of an Olympian to only on race day end up with a blister Loneliness creeping in before twightlight starts to break and linger Ghostliness of a...

Premium Member Scars in Heaven, Casting Crowns
Three has ruled the roost for so long... Four, boxed in so, has forgotten its role. So picture five lingering outside, waiting Thinking itself only a star None seeing what keys are needed To open the legendary Time of Times. Oh... will repairs come in time for life Or will zero claim more as food once again. ...

Premium Member The Pharaoh's Heart
A stubborn heart will stubborn be, No matter what God’s word decrees. Each time a stubborn man says no The harder still his heart will grow. The sun's harsh heat that melts beeswax makes clay soil so hard that it cracks. Whether to love God or to hate the heart's condition will dictate. God sent Moses to meet Pharaoh And to tell him, “let...

Premium Member I Admire the Poet
I admire the poet who looks life seriously in the eye, whose emotions he won't deny. I admire the poet who makes me cry, but I'm not him, and I won't try. I admire the believer who will never discard his beliefs when times are hard. I hold the believer in high regard, but I don't believe - I'm scarred. I admire...

Light and Darkness
Light and Darkness Have you ever paused to ponder Why the creator in his wisdom Made death the only doorway Leading to the Heavenly Kingdom? Have you ever paused to ponder Why the creator by his order Separated the endless darkness To give the world twelve hours of light And twelve hours of dreadful night? Don't you know He could make it all light? You could...

Newtonian Remnants of The Mind
Words Not For The Faint Of Heart Commemoration for those gone before Affectation of all you continue to adore Altercation at the start of a burgeoning world war Annihilation of the injured, innocent and poor Commensurate collusion of the parliamentary debate Irreverent confusion at the celebration of the state Degenerate delusion as they refuse to integrate...

Emancipation of The Afterthought
Emancipation From The Afterthought Fastidious Faustian bargains that never seem to cease Delirious young drug addicts who never seem to sleep Insidious theories of conspiracy about the recently deceased Deciduous canopies of melancholy that fade by finding time for peace Berated by the belligerence of a youthful propagandist Conflated schools of the illiterate surrounded by a contrabandist Sedated...

Passing Through The Moment
Passing Through The Moment Aesthetic communion for an artist in a ghetto Prosthetic student union that is only there for the power show Anaesthetic ex-communion for a doctor who does not want to go Prophetic graceful union of the ones who seem to always know Consummate reliance on another person for your relief Don’t abdicate defiance...

Frolicking Foolishness
It is good to be a fool once in a while, What an extraordinary feeling to be a fool! To know nothing, To know everything, Yet not convincing your heart—The most brilliant buffoon, Letting your heart float like a boat Without an anchor In the middle of a lake illuminated by the half moon that looks like a piece fallen from...

Premium Member Correlation vs Causation
When you look around at the world How do you know If it’s correlation or causation in effect? You don’t. The only way to really objectively know Is to subjectively know Which means we don’t really know squat About the larger world outside our bubble. And this ambiguity Leaves us open to suggestion and doubt And manipulation and control By those with more confidence. The truth...
