Does your conniption fit?

If it's not a laughing matter, then it's not important. 

Did you ever notice that when you stir a glass of something, the spoon says, "Jibiddy jibiddy jibiddy jibiddy"?

Worst first name of anyone I ever met: Schmedroy....

As if you tether the thesis
I posit you with lines and signs
as if eternity could be planned
hasten you with delimited maxims
may there be a strain 
in my heart that echoes
will it dwell needful in my tone?
amidst burns
angle, design, logic
lie the ashes of
had been, is, would be

Wit shapes funny fit
Jigsaw puzzle bits


As you freely leap 
Don't you fall asleep


Tell the plain truth well
Watch gaudy lies dwell


Watch wild wonder well
Timely treasure tells


Destiny moves fate
Glimpse that open gate


Can less be more here
Craft lines that string cheer

Speak your plain truth
Let act sign proof


Dare then to be
Love now set free


Pleasure knows pain
Yet not in vain


Beauty says much
In poignant touch


Come ink fine draft
As words move craft


Let will find thrill
The way you feel


Heart knows fine start
Ink stains move art

Jealousy finally persuades her victims, Making them resort to the evilest deeds No good words or plausible maxims Will uproot jealousy’s dangerous weeds. Once planted in the cold weakened heart They mature as suspicions and doubt, Raising a strong impenetrable rampart Until deeds of hatred flesh them out.

Hermetic
Axioms, maxims, and precepts
The big seven
Road to self mastery
All is mind
As above, so below
As below, so above
Everything moves
Vibrating between the poles
Flowing like a river
For every effect, there is a cause
Thus, cause and effect
Feminine and masculine principles
Day and night
Hot and cold
Neverending natural continuum
Perpetual flux
Nothing endures but change...

Live well each day
Prize thus fond play


Love all you meet
Greet with smiles sweet


Words sometimes fail
To blaze true trail


Be of good cheer
Faith scares harsh fear


Look out and see
Love helps you be


Eye to eye then
You know not when


In a swift turn
The pyre now burns


Seek yo know truth
Then live fine proof

Funk bedunk me sterile mind A kind not built for corporate wild Style not fitting compromise Wrecked the dreamer full beguiled Pickled mind no way returned Worked away the essence burned Told the lies to keep the path Exposed the truth the lying math Then you see your brother die Still in bondage to the chase Maxims never justify Growing old and losing face Fred Jagenberg – July 14, 2019

Dare to live well:
Watch how time tells.

~~~~~~~~~


Live without fear:
Love holds you dear.

~~~~~~~~~


The way you see:
Choice comes to be.

~~~~~~~~~


Love moves all things:
Watch moments fling.

~~~~~~~~~


Focus and see:
Set clear thought free.

~~~~~~~~~


Feel peace of mind:
Keep sync in kind.

~~~~~~~~~


A maxim clear:
Live zesty cheer.

~~~~~~~~~

Deviation
 
Deviation
When I saw it, my eyes popped
Something so clean, so shiny
Not a gentle ray, but a stinging beam
Something with the energy to ignite my brain
And blind it into a vitreous aura
Disconnect it from its elder
Unravel it's capsule
Stray from safety
Indulge in the friction
It's not a puppet, it's a death wish
Something to anger our maxims
But it takes space
It takes money
It takes time
It takes labour
It takes life
It may act with nature, but it isn't alive
