Rubicon Crossing

I stand on the bank
looking at the deep water
old love behind me
new life on the other side
once I cross no turning back

Rise up and ignite the freedom fire
Save Democracy before it's gone
Republic about to be Empire 
Orange Julius crossing Rubicon...

   For those for whom life is a waste
      simple pleasures lose their taste

   Dreams and butterflies never chased
      their Rubicon crossed in criminal haste

A
debt
we owe;
to nature
inevitably
The last walk into the sunset
It's a rubicon crossed; a point of no return reached
Inevitably casting it's grim, dark shadow and devouring all forms of life

The threshold of my Rubicon,
a thousand times been crossed!
For though I've lost I've also won
at such a dire cost.

Locked inside my oubliette,
covered in frost, I cannot feel.
I pace and fret, and shan't forget-
I'm but a cog in a greater wheel......

Edgar Allan Poe
Died in 1849, you know.
We heard his telltale heart beneath the floor;
Then quoth the raven: nevermore!

Napoleon Bonaparte,
His marriage to Josephine got blown apart.
Her barrenness: his Rubicon;
His name, he thought, should live ever on.

The decisive die is cast
No rule is hard and fast
The Rubicon crossed and more
The Senate and other arms in tow

The Queen bee not to be rocked
Drones in hives,locked
The Emperor not at all shocked
As food reserves, de-stocked

The last Act and scene unfold
The conspirators, the Emperor scold
Daggers drawn; they await their fill 
He gasps "and you, Brutus?" as they seal the kill...

My soul is vexed

Heart in limbo

Where is my “CHI”

Like the gathering of ash

 

Log like my prince laid

In life quest of his transition

To Immortality, spirit man

Future mourners cry

 

Worthy prodigal emerged

The flesh of his flesh

To take the baton

Silver colour pendulum will

 

Swing him to the Rubicon of Immortality

To complete his inevitable circles...

Eyes like cynthia's brow
starin beyond the cloud
in a ruminative refine gaze
indelliblely staring skyward

the men of the shadow deviced it
like a rustling of a dry leaf
He has rustled up,
and cross the rubicon....

Man is now cruel..
Man is bestial and blustery
Man is now a canal beast..

O why ar you so cruel?
Even to the unguilty
Yes! He was not a hood
you take even the unguilty
when ravening like a wild beast...
For who to take next
In this gloomy world......

Our misty eyes were destined for each other,
when at last we met at crossroads by the brook,
where voices in the sky did gently guide us,
up enchanting pathways known to but a few,
passed the prickly rose bush shepherds on each side of us,
the barren plains worn out by trampling hoofs,
over granite outcrops solemn crystal rubicon,
toward an ever arching slope that slowly rises above time and earthly longing,
to that peak beyond the sky where lovers dwell....

Ephemera hung from the philosopher’s stoned mind

A plethora of rubies dangled at the heart of suspense

Diaphanous souls mingled at crossroads of thought

Seeping miasma and fragrance cutting diamond’s edge

Archetypes flowing at the rubicon of incisive return

I chose the words in bold for no reason other than they came to my mind. Let me 

call it stream of consciousness, or poetry in motion ......
