Love and loyalty,
                                          You curve about my finger,
                                                 A swell of fervor.

The Myths

I am the descendant 
of the myths
I am a Fae
mischievous and playful 
I am a Goblin
crafty and clever
I am a Nymph 
protector of the woods
as much as id like to be
these things i will never be fully

Myths

how many days will it take,
for these chains to break?
how many tears will be shed,
before ido not toss in my bed?
how many toads will i kiss,
before my prince charming comes?
"dreans come true",
"patience is a virtue".
myths,myths.
i wonder, what is a true myth?

I vaticinate through cypress
prognosticator of folklore
brewing indwelling woodcraft

dasyure and platypus
our unvalued birthright
gnaw at cassiterite

sunburn on cycadophyta
an acherontic turmoil

you , ceres
lent nonlexical rhyme
reform this crisis !
always
evermore
peaceably

The Myths of Lies

Deflecting the light, 
you stand in dark, 
to find the truth.

To find the truth, 
you stand in dark, 
deflecting the light.

The numbers had failed. 
The numbers. A prayer 
for my zero.

For my zero, I walked 
whole life. 
Whole life. Zero.

Pardon my dust, 
I was collecting 
for my black hole.

From dust to dust.

Premium Member Origin Questions

If we acknowledge Mother Earth,
How is it we discount her daughters?
If might doesn't make right,
What have we left out of the world?
What do we make of this world…  that was made for us?

If we look up to Father Sky,
Is that why we look down on Mother Earth?
Or have we put words in the mouth of the wind,
When we mouth the words of our fathers?
Have we not learned from whence they came?

In shadow
                                    larger than the life
                                    she has been led to live
                                    a treasure trove

Absurd Myths

Crossing the divine, 
I ask the marigolds 
to return to the dust.

The gods were angry, 
and dead would not speak 
and the living were dead.

I am now heading towards? 
the mute bells, disbelieving? 
the great enlightment.

Rebuilding what was not true. 
A dream will start telling 
the price of the inflicted wounds.

I am not sure: 
who were at fault.
The letters ?
or the words ?

Listen to poem:
Of Myths and Measures
David J Walker

I could read them in the clouds
As if printing on ether was possible 

Reflections of 
		Heaven on earth 
Changing 
	Rearranging the true 

And interesting hue of 
Everyday life

Myths are more interesting
Said Father to a neighbor

Both having read 
The same Morning paper 

feeding addictions
of caffeine and nicotine 

A morning routine of
Myths and measures
