What the eye could see
now,painted for posterity
a visual language of the present
unfinished..ephemeral
joie de vivre
Neither spouse should ever forget -
In marriage, the courting never ends

Posterity be damned,
today is your reward
The future but an empty wish
—a sheath without a sword
(Dreamsleep: July, 2022)
I entered the fray
bent the discussion
Yet to record for posterity
my pen lacked the percussion
Posterity glows
Prosperity fades
In the summer
~ Sell lemonade
As i consider, posterity and the multiverse
Of titular? Though my efforts be known as un-dignified, it observe at the very least they may become signified.'
The act of giving charity
performed with regularity
guarantees prosperity
from the moment it is given
unto posterity
Come on... smile for me.
Show me that big old silly grin.
Cross your eyes & say cheese ~

~ Posterity May Not Understand ~
Why I traipse five miles a day
to whittle time away
Idling in a safe daydream
gazing at a listless stream
It lives
in the margins
betwixt and between
Visible
yet fleeting
a light once unseen
When reaching
to touch
its magic forestalls
Lost to that
moment
— posterity calls
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Aftermath
Even when the war is over, you still fight the battles. You keep hold of them for posterity. Just like a real soldier from a war. Fighting the battles again and again in your head. Just like a Sven Hassel book.
Our hands
kneaded together
the daily bread...
together we made the
molds we carve
our lives...
together we embroider
the future and us
we gave posterity.
similar to waves
in surf,
we spread out in the world
our children...!
Tiles of remembrance of classes
long past, replacing blankness
painted handprints and colors and smiles
spanning the length of the ceiling, forever
reserved for the posterity of wandering eyes.
How glorious the sunset! Our days unforgotten!
Oh to break the generic bonds-
that bind us to this mundane world-
to fly away on paths unknown
beyond mere empty words-
to stretch beyond our mortal reach
and capture unseen worlds-
and imprison them for posterity,
on paper, with pen and immortal words.
The last drops of a drink
crumbs of cake on a plate
The olive in the martini
lone blueberry left to fate
Shan't we save them for posterity
morsels and sips to treasure ~
Or rather down them callously
for the slightest second's pleasure
boundless presence
caged in organic form
in bondage to limitation
facing fierce storms daily
celebrates the experience
vibrant with blissful joy
recognising the game
conjured for our soul
wisdom for posterity

No fuss about it
You being west and I being east
We took the split
With such kindness of release
And better friends remain
Nor once did you complain
Against my prejudice of class
The riled me to let you pass
I thank you
For being so understanding of me
The footnote for no posterity.
As I didn't realize that I lived
just a dream in the form of a nightmare,
so then I held on a nonexistent future...
I reaped the unhealthiness of posterity
of hope, and the taste
of absence of real life...
Let's have faith for posterity,
For all our humanity,
Plant prayers, our thoughts,
Turn into pastoral support,
Alms for welfare globally,
Share riches for equity,
Small, practical steps no less,
Our faith and prayers can bless,
Advance our future, I say,
Jesus' faith will show the way.....
The poet dies, but does not die
if he has left a line
black inked upon enduring page
or lingered on the mind.
With no thought than to see it grow,
the gardener plants a tree,
his immortality assured,
by shade for posterity.
A way to prove that we were here,
a child in whom, our truths appear.
Legacy
Inheritors we are of depravity,
yet blame do we the ignorance of
those whom graves stolidly invoke,
or pity do we the oblivion of
the unborn, who, in our dirty shoes
shall sordidly rule the seven seas?

To have my name in a literature book
Or read aloud at a poetry convention,
Is not why I write these little verses
Has never been my desired intention.
To leave a legacy of written works
Hopefully, for my posterity to read,
So they know what Grandpa thought
Made him laugh, or, made him bleed.

SHIPYARD
Visions do come to me...
Shades floating to Eternity,
Ships of souls floating away,
People now past their days,
Heavenly light's clear haze,
Leaving gifts for posterity,
Shipyard of our souls' humanity,
Eternal blessing, never ending,
Ships of souls we're sending
Home, the ships of souls are wending....
