Miniscule beings of enlightenment
float across the infinitum
supercharged in the night
looking for their new homes
as they roam all alone
no-one knows how they feel
in their minds of matter...

A man there was who said
there’s a buzzing in my head.
“Impossible,” said his wife,
“that’s been the mantra of your life.
Besides, I’ve told you ad infinitum,
sound doesn’t travel in a vacuum.”...

children
cry in volumes
unknown tombs
scattered
battered
silent lips
ad infinitum
whispers
heard slow
on the wind
tears in
dry rivers
stumble
beyond
the hate
welcome symphony 
on the other side
of heaven’s
gate 
never late...

Erato’s Liar

Oh Geez,
Not yet another,
Oh Please,
That song’s been sung ad infinitum ad adnaseum,
Love Poems smother,

ME! With cloying sickly sweet annoying
Toying with
My mind
Please muse,
Send me… You Send Me
A spirit of another kind....

Watch your Latin and don't let the cat in
Caesar had some jam for tea,
Pompei aderat.
ille, illa, illud,
but I'll have Yorkshire pud.
amo, amas, amat
Who let in the cat?
hic, haec, hoc
The mouse ran up the clock.
You can add another item
ad infinitum....

The brevity of time in space 
a moment may trice an instant 
in your lifetime can't be measured 
nor your species, your world, nor of 
your sun's lifetime, for tis the absolute 
measure of infinity ... it is you who is the 
                                                 ~abstract...

In the indigo infinitum of your seamless sky
I am like a beguiled bird
Serene I remain in the surging storm
Within your fervent fold
You won’t let it wriggle my whispering wings
In the yonder firmament of your yearning
I will forever fly.

We can’t make
all the bad things
 good
Just knowing
all that didn’t 
should

We can’t wish
what stays real
away
Or lie
to keep the truth
at bay

Yesterday
today
tomorrow yield
The leavened
‘Word’
forever sealed

Ad infinitum
minus
one
Salvation’s 
path
— is zero sum

Gauge in the car reads 32, followed by 'ice', 
then 32, then 'ice' again, ad infinitum, 
as if you weren't already iced, already. 
Geese in our lake celebrate, honking 
is their holler, and not in their wake, 
I turn up my collar, but O Ye Heavens-- 
Where are my gloves? And this, 
my complaint to the powers above: 
Sunny Florida?   How quaint!......

At my friend’s house over dinner
I emptied a pickle jar
My fickle buds relished infinitum
The tickle of sweet and sour
Didn’t suspect had a base of rum.

Soon the full moon appeared sickle
From forehead sweat dripped in trickle
It was fruitless to stickle
For beyond doubt I was pickled
I found prickly me in a pickle.

A bird, I fly in the azure infinitum of your seamless sky, 
when the clouds carry the storm, so assured I remain, 
you won’t let it wriggle my whispering wings, I won’t cry, 
for in your heart's fervent firmament I will soar again.

I don’t want to sleep or eat, 
check the mail or pay the bills, answer the phone,
clean the bathroom . . .

           Participate.

. . . all those unremarkable demands of everyday life.

Do you ever wish  you
could sleep ad infinitum and
not have to think?  

Do you ever want to expend 
that interminable energy endlessly until there is no more?...

Are those dimensional theories a trap
  for what your mind will never understand

Does your spirit lay dormant and fallow
  an alien within its own land

Does the math and the science betray you
  with the numbers piled outside your door

Is the time sliced and diced infinitum
  —deliverance calling now as before

When you go shopping, do you browse
And stroll up all the aisles,
Searching for surprising “Wows!”
That might elicit smiles?

Or do you clutch your list in hand
And check off every item
That’s always purchased as you planned
Each time, ad infinitum?

No matter how you shop, at least
When you’re back home, unpacking,
You’ll know that chances have increased
For some impromptu snacking....

What if you were the only one that believed in something;
And the world as mad gunk has you sliding into unintended traverses.
You find love before it has begun!
This solarized released, this rippling and broadening gulf...
The wings of cautious believers rise only slowly...
Tomorrow is another day,
Yes, though you have discovered
Tomorrow as today,
In the rich infinitum 
Of love's fresh boast....

As my eyes insinuate your unrivaled beauty
A tinge of glow ignites inside of me
I hanker to melt into your embrace
Your visage is the apotheosis of a masterpiece
Cleopatra is nothing compared to you
Your dulcet and riveting voice
Will surely blush a nightingale
Mere thought of you makes my heart leap
It tugs my heartstrings knowing that
Heaven lost an angel to me
Your beauty is timeless-timeless ad infinitum...

my symbolic house
my purple castle
invaded by red clowns
a dialogue
contradicting personal icons
denying synthesis
denying art
trespassing
poaching
unbalancing decentring crucifiers
tearing the paper they make of my mind
tearing tissue
cells sinew flesh blood
a pavlov’s laboratory
for a crowd
appropriation
depersonalisation
obliteration
constructs and betrayals ad infinitum
a teleological structuralism
for others

"Through Windows Abstract Ad Infinitum"
 


Ascending plural through the Sun
becomes One 
Seen through different windows



Seams sewn in souls strung like pearls cast out into the world
Everyone is written into The Story, all accounted for, not gone unsung



Sun through the plural Ascending 
One becomes
Windows different, though seen



(Lovejoy-Burton/September 2018)

You know I do not hope
any intermission,
between life and death.
My path goes nowhere.

A hiatus between the mirrors has questions.
From childhood I was always
floating between the meanings
of lessons unknown.
I longed for straight humilities.

Present redeems the past.
Each sound leaves an echo
and has-been becomes the shrine of peace.

ad infinitum I will wait
for the primitive blood
to reappear, the truth of
midnight sin.

Oh, it’s hard to thread a needle!
You must coax and beg and wheedle
Though, of course, it will ignore your fervent pleas;
For the eye’s so very teeny
That your temper might get spleeny
As the thread gets close, but just enough to tease.

So you try ad infinitum – 
Thread and needle – to unite ‘em
As your patience, like the thread, begins to fray
And you realize that your sewing
Is like life, the way it’s going,
Tossing challenges to stump you every day....
