To Intercede the Importunate

Having fissioned the mind 
To intercede the importunate
And petitioned wisdom inside 
Idle and dissipated 
As tremendous illusions 
pervades the soul
The unsurpassed revolt of 
capitulated distortions 
A percussion of thoughts
That solicits affectations of such
Form: Concrete


Pondering On Perfection

Perfection
Comes encased 
In an illusion
Hiding the decays
And the facets
Of imperfection.

Like a mirror
With two faces
The good glitters
And the bad
Lurks and reflects
In dark recesses.

A banal farce
Of human nature
The affectations
Used to bolster
The image
For the greater.

SAY AGAIN
Marriage..husband..wife..
nouveau Humpty Dumpty words..
designer labels for the Emperor's
clothes.
A pernicious perversion of
vocabulary..abberrations to
the norm that parade as
affectations  in disguise.

Glad,hedonistic lad;
Delighting in delectations,
Amusing affectations,
Posturing pretension
with ogling ostentation!

Professing pleasure seeking
Confessing,leisure leaning.
Reputation so revealing,
Passe peer appealing!

Performing,extroverting,
Showcasing,demonstrating,
Superficial and artificial;
Pleasure without measure.

Deep Listening

Pull up a chair, be beautiful,
I’m not old in your mind; you are young in mine.

We are just under the surface of our affectations,
we relate, assimilate.

Our thoughts will grow feelers long enough to
actually feel.

Show me your life in this moment,
and I will show you mine.

We will print our dreams out,
publish ourselves.

We need that kind of image-making,
need this mutual exchange,

so that we may see clearly,
one luminous vision.
