aureate shaft fazed
copious pigments imbibed
newfangled "prime" glared.

No matter the case
That got you in a maze
Do not be fazed
You’ll see better days
 
No matter the haze
Staring you in the face
Don’t be in a daze
It’s all a phase....

Dawn is upraised
Fierce in disguise--
Then you are dazed
By her rising at length—

Once you have gazed
Straight in her eyes,
Never be fazed 
By her beauty and strength....

The atonal composer Arnold Schoenberg
as an artist* no one could curb
A portraitist who never was fazed
as into the eyes we gaze

Will the light suffice,
The eternal shadow 
Lurking within our soul.
Is it enough to guide us,
Through this dark valley
Of red roses.
Does it shine for all of us,
Or is darkness our hope?...

Within a fecundity of fatuity
Squandered were all endeavors
Fazed I eluded
Unequivocal passion was sought
Yet still squandered were all endeavors
Candid without knowledge
Lacerated and forsaken
Forlorn I languished
Betwixt the vacuous cracks
Of black and white pavements...

unspoken,unsaid
swirl,whirl
ripple,ruffle
tease,torture
delve,funnel
foreboding burrows,
in narrow tunnels;

Fazed,crazed
imagined fancies,
unnerve,unsettle
weigh down
upset perturb;
abound and tease 
with imagined dis-ease.

Inspired by John's latest contest...

Once fear erased, we surrender
Granting love pulse consent
Bliss the prize, divine does render 
Hastening soul’s ascent

Open heart, unclenched fist
On ceasing to resist
We become a bliss mist

No longer fazed
Once fear erased

Fazed, cold and feeble as someone about to die...not feeling the lulling breeze, 
I transcended in a soft sky of tranquility, where all you heard was calm and peace;
two golden angels with shining wings lifted me up with a swift, whooshing thrust
and brought me before the ivory throne of the glorious Christ and Holy Ghost....

Reason you give, rings unsound,
Beyond logic, and no longer valid, 
Premises of lies, conclusions rogue,
Arguments and fallacies, just full of lies. 

Think you I be deceived, and love you again?  
Ney, think I cherished, these last days?
Ney, think I drowned, in your plays? 
Ney, I think you failed, and I wont be fazed....

The past cannot be turned innocent-

Pain will always be acknowledged in moments of solitude. 

I can pretend that the present is not part of the aftermath. 

Grasping reality as if it is still trying to let go.

At times turning around, expecting voices to guide me. 

Fazed more by their absence than their old presence....

Act 1
A woman is walking down the street
After working a long day’s shift, she is exhausted
She reaches her house door and pulls out her keys
But they fall out of her hands 
Frustrated, she bends down to pick them up
When she hears ‘ Nice view, lets recreate that someday mama’
She’s not fazed
That man told her she looks nice
She smiles it off and enters her home
END SCENE...

The crazy in me came out last week,
but I don't care???

Normally my house would be armed to the teeth,
waiting for some form of retribution,
normally i'd be bouncing off the walls with paranoia,
darting in and out the windows.

My mind thinks about it,
but i'm not fazed,
i'm calm,
my mind just won't fixate on it.

eerie calmness....

but I still wait for whats to come.
death comes to us all......

I once walked down a mountain
It's grass was vivid green
and in the water drops on its blades
The eternal could be seen

The heavy clouds bounced up on its peak
and filtered wet warm and cold
The light shone out and hid away
The scented breeze reminded stories told

I stoppped awhile with heavy breath
A sigh looked up to the sun
Its pale white light fazed through the clouds
The walking never done....

My heart at each breathe pace,
Is a rhythm which made it fazed .
what does it desire ? I ask.
Alas! No answer .

Is it that which the Giver didn't give? 
Is it that which if given silences the heart? 
Is it that which a whole life spam has been given to find? 
That which is not a star but far.

That which we represent with a white flag ? 
But no where to be found.
The heart of every man desires peace,
But that which the giver has seized....

I looked out my window,
	At the gloomy grey sky.
When I saw a butterfly,
	Flitting blissfully by.

Unfettered by worries,
	Not shackled by woe,
A blithe Lepidoptera,
	And its aerial show.

The patter of raindrops,
	Fazed it not a bit,
Blithely it glided,
	On my window did sit.

Ever so nonchalantly,
	It fluttered its wings.
Not a care in the world,
	What a fortunate thing!

 If only my soul,
	Could a butterfly be.
Gallivant in my small world,
	Unburdened and free!...

Muppet Crazy Harry does not seem as odd these days
Maybe because of so many fads and no one is ever fazed.
He pulled his tricks along with bizarre antics too.
Meant very little next to the world’s biggest hullaballoo.

You have to be even crazier, I gave Muppet Crazy Harry as advice.
I am being as off kilter as I can he said, warming up some Kona ice.
You have to step it up a notch, or two or three or four, I told him.
You have so much competition now, people do things on a whim....

Commitment never fazed me
I longed to touch the flame,
Passion, need, lust, it all.
Love's the only game.

That first flush, the heady rush
There's nothing to compare,
Life is a truly wondrous thing
When love is in the air.

Oh, how the world it shrinks
When existence means just two.
In my world nothing matters,
Except that I'm with you.

He walked out in the dark one day
To see a million stars,
The vastness of the Milky Way,
The luminance of Mars.
Roused by a spell he feared like hell
But had no wish to spurn,
In fazed delight he gazed all night
And never did return.

He walked out in the dark one day
To see a million stars.
The elders say he lost his way
And puff on cheap cigars.
The flecks of light they form at night,
Like fireflies in June,
Or pungent smell might just as well
Have touched him as the moon....
