Why peoples
of all kinds
rally eagerly
to festivals and fetes
crowd temples and churches
to celebrate any
wondrous cause
in joyous applause
Then see them gather
with the same harmony
as they rush to their
inane demise
in times of wars
in opposite mores
.
I inquire
I indite
phrasing poetically
Riddling
rhyming
envisaging equivocally
to twist your thought's
My mind marauds
hoping to catch you
away from your shield
firm in mine net
mine seize
Severed starlight, brief lanterns
Truncate tingles, sugar burns
pen puzzling in oily ink
Dark dots on papyrus slink
Metre measure on tongue tip
Riddling rhymes gaining their grip
Cursive verses in past tense
---
Trying a new form tonight. Hope you enjoy
Tranquil sands of a fallen land,
Held no place within an empty hand.
Tyrannical birds, with bombs in flight,
Riddling the air, on souls alight.
"We, the prey of this haughty reign,"
Offering no space for the cooking flame—
Hungry bones that crave for justice,
Blind, the vultures—drowned in malice.
This is the longest word you can write using only the top line of the keyboard
It describes the device that the keyboard was made for.
Do you think you know the answer to this riddling rhyme?
Or do I need to give you a little more time?
If this weighs heavy on your mind, I can make your brain lighter
And tell you the answer – the word is “typewriter”.
Ere Kyser
was Kaiser
or Söze
the records
a german
germaine
an immigrant
they granted him
a pass
some eight generations past
first, depressing
later, repressing
regressing
turning generational curse to blessing
and now messing
and fiddling
with rhyming and riddling
for an extended verbal stint
roger that
with another Jeff
and all the
usual suspects
Riddling my soul
eating me alive
tearing us apart
breaking my world in two
Because a love so true
Has got me weak at the knees
And dumb at the heart
And this distance is tearing us apart
But I still love you
I've got to keep on trying
Together we must find away
Because until the day you slip away
I ll have loneliness in my heart
Time cannot stop us the change will do us good
But this bridge is burning and the wall is standing strong
Beneath the shade of a tree
On a blanket handed down
In shoes that are too big still
And a yard with untouched ground
Someday you will stand
To take your first steps here
Someday you will reach
And climb the branches near
Atop the canopy of leaves
When you’re looking low
Peer upon a flower bed
With springtime seeds to sew
Soil riddling our nails
Someday you and I will plant
You’ll offer to help with dinner
But I’ll still help you wash your hands
Plagued by sleepless nights,
Cursed by endless days.
The Devil now delights,
In my hopeless ways.
Trampling on my dreams,
Riddling me with doubt.
Laughing at my screams,
Within and from without.
Shackled here in chains,
A shadow now in Hell.
Giddy by my pains,
While in this prison cell.
Paralyzed with fear,
Haunted by my past.
Grinning ear to ear,
One of many cast.
A lock without a key,
No one here is blessed.
His eternal glee,
Here as Satan's guest.
