Noble Quests

"While the earth remains,
Seed time and harvest,
Summer and winter,
Cold and heat,
Will not cease."
Bible, Gen, 8:22

I saw the moon rising on my left.
I beheld the sun setting on my right.
I mused within my soul about forever things,
Things which we often deem antiquated.

I mourned inside over non-forever things,
Things upon which we are unduly fixated.
We convince ourselves that

the-u-life

With silly smile, playing laptop keyboard
keys, I relay tales of brief, college bliss,
where days, like dry martinis, swiftly pass
lips that pucker for life’s capricious kiss.

My roommates bring joy and warm delight, like
late night Cheeto-fights to break-up study
drudgery - some chaos can counter stress,
though it makes a powdery-orange mess.

While we whirl and preen, when on party

Quests

The windows touch the darkness
The last of night is filled with snow
A silent falling of flakes that show
Daylight will bring snow covered starkness

I remember darkness different than this
It was not peaceful, feeling no end in sight
As if what had come, was an endless night
But this serenity now, can lead to exciting bliss

So, as the snow

My Persona's Adventurous Quests

Feeling like a particle of dust in the expanse of existence
I keep trying to find myself
Hoping, when I would do so,
That I would find the anchor that I need
To feel at home while being myself!

I searched for myself in the faces of people that I met
And was only met with pretense
People pretend to wish to

Quest For Quests

"What is the problem that is a solution?"
"My dear, that is easy, it is being dead when you are very much alive and well!"

A newspaper garden is what we call a street
The unclear air whispers tainted secrets
Against s brick building where lust generates heat
That distracts the people from their lack
Of love born lust
Because they gave

Quests Within Me

13/3/2012. 

Doleful lugubrious quests feverously churn within my mind,
To quell thirst of my hunted and sought cravings consigned.
Every night and every day they scald and scorch,
Thoughts charred smothering move in and fade away, akin a blinking torch.
 
I seek with hankenrous desires, faux pas,
Yearn, carvel for my illusionious coveted cause.
My creased desire to be someone

These Quests For "the Other Side"

Out across the country lanes
and down into the woods,
these places we would play 
for they had all “the Goods”.

It didn’t matter the time of year,
Spring, Summer , Winter or Fall-
we were ready as each one drew near
for we played hard through them all.

Adventures of the highest kind
as we’d run to the chasm again.
We’d swing across

- Our Quests Through This Life-

How little it takes to satisfy
and keep life's storms at bay.
Money in my pocket and life without stress
are my solace and strength for this day.

Temporal and shallow creatures we be
on our quests through this life day by day.
But the outward things that satisfy 
are not where the true treasures lay.

What a confusing paradox we be
