Short Diminution Poems

Happiness 

is easier achieved

not by the accumulation of riches

but rather

by the diminution of our needs and

of our desires!

These graphite singularities
contain universes
unconceived,
awaiting
the Big Bang
of inspiration, but
narrative particles
escape like
Hawking radiation --
gravity’s diminution
evaporatively slow,
nearly virtual,
and random....

What a world,I find myself,
stagnant pools in wait engulfs
.....a vortex of negativity
the positive having to face such enmity...

Feeling the need to escape strangulation
surrounded by those whom enforce diminution
evil conspirators against loving transition
....only looking to exchange positions...

Bait and switch of a different kind,
as evil pursuance destroys the mind......

       Wreathing this encephalon - wrenched, gnarled, murdered
                   Neurons in diminution - de-escalated, clashing, ramming now lethargic
             Canvass of verse and poesy - lacking, still vacuous and comic
                       But language and fervour is penned, tedium and ennui clobbered....

If only the moon's diminution of the Sun

Could eclipse the hate humanity has spun

What a miracle of Nature THAT would be

One that wouldn't cause any harm to see

So maybe it's a warning, the corona of red

That we may see much darker times ahead

Or perhaps a revelation that wisdom brings

That ALL life hangs on diaphanous strings

It is rare, indeed, with the sun in its shroud

But rarer, still, this grand life we're endowed....

~*~

wreathing this life's mind's eye - wrenched, gnarled, hit, burked
neurons in diminution - clashed, rammed, slayed
futility tops up canvass of murk
phonemes, words, phrases now frolicly played
heart's lyrical requiem overlaid
poesy - penned, written in woe death's crypt
shrieking the LIMITLESS lines of my SCRIPT.
