Short Finitude Poems

Infinity overspreads her ineffable bounds
 as finitude struggles below on the ground

Disparate features burst forth exponential
  worshipers gasp ~ essence's multi-dimensional...

Beyond all those particular existences
Such illusions of meaningless digressions
from what's humble and noble
Decimated to nothing other than
eternal oblivion
A fallacy to one's own finitude
A pretension to omnipotence
An undue adulation
To such negations 
Of knowing evil by infection...........

A prayer is like seduction to your soul
Your church is the glamour the world bestowals
Your bible is the flashy neon lights and billboards
Your truth is the multiplicity of greedy
Your salvation is fruition of materialism
Your retribution is its finitude and lost satiety
Heaven becomes invisible through the eye of a needle...

She made beauty a birthright, my Ilse.
Her rosy cheeks, rouge unneeded,
shadowed her dark eyes.

I was impressed by her,
depraved by her,
all at once humiliated for her.
A hunger lingered inside me,
craving her name.

Still my salvation was denied by time
and the fleeting hours turned me mad.
Her finitude, my hellfire.
My temptation....

'cause some of us have had enough of this hell
some search heaven for redemption
and she too
but more for being disgusted
and when she up there arrived
stabbed to death the deity
and on the way down she smiles
in the ecstasy of having avenged
the human race and all its offspring
condemning to finitude
who has not condemned us to eternity....

arrival of the penultimate season...

falling toward the end of the year
    cool breezes purge the sultry sloth
amber/auburn/crimson leaves dance in the wind
    fall foliage signals the end of a cycle
contracting days declare enveloping emptiness
    expanding awareness of our infinite finitude

...a symphony of poignant silence...

I am overjoyed over our mortality. Because if we were immortal, I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand. I wouldn't feel the need to love you every day in fear that tomorrow I won't be able to. If we were immortal, I would laugh in deaths' face instead of laughing with the ones in my heart. If I were immortal, I wouldn't know how to love because love would last forever. And therefore, it wouldn't last a day at all....

Tolerância

Na década que termina
e na década que há de vir
exercite-se sempre
exercite a tolerância.

Tolerância não é passividade. 
Ao contrário do amor ou da generosidade, 
que não têm limites nem finitude
a tolerância é limitada.

Uma tolerância infinita 
é o fim da tolerância! 

Na vida e nos negócios,
na década que termina
e na década que há de vir
seu progresso é proporcional
a sua tolerância na medida certa....

CrosS 
 
 
My cross is made of love and dragon fly wings my faith is her who loves me so 
deep inside a heart so true my crown is just a ball cap with the name of this city
