Through the Birth and the Death

through birth
voyage to the seen life (transitory) has been started

through death
voyage to the unseen life (eternity) will start!

Spring In Toronto

Early Toronto spring 
lives still in the shadow 
of winter-frost, transitory,
I observe the quiet marvel of flowers,
the deceptive budding of leaves,
shivering cold 
as a cloud cloaks out the sun.

Ten Words

When the perspicuous idea was told;
A little bird became malignant and would gravitate to the flatter words;
Causing the scapegoat to alienate and dissipate any capricious inurbane transitory ideas from the little bird.

Transitory Transitoriness

Childhood transits,
Youth transits,
Love transits,
Pain transits,
Corruptor transits,
Hunger transits,
Poverty transits,
Our names transit
Politic transits,
Wealth transits,
Beauty transits,
Certainty transits:

LIFE IS TRANSITORY!

A Vain Show, and Transitory

All of its nonsense does end here.
World's. Its furthest blown point.
Murky but deathly stilled water's
Of tranquil acceptance.
Even so, which glory, gold leafed
By what hangs and spooks round
Spreads, for ghosts of disillusionment
Cursed sounds. In abundance!

Vain Ego

The towering tide in the sea 
should not awe you by its height
This  is mere effervescence
Rising and falling wearily
On   the  bosom  of the foaming Sea.
The momentary peak of strength that it attains
 By  jumping out of its mass to reach the sky
Is as vainglorious and transitory As the Ego of his ‘I’.

Transitory

The inurbane world faces its fate
with malignant joy, unaware
of it being a scapegoat in the
capricious transitory thing called life.

Yet we perspicuously flatter ourselves
and gravitate to the greatness of life
till the body dissipates and soul alienates 
on the all- encompassing altar of death.

Many attempts made to alienate the biochemist, 
made a scapegoat by transitory in-urbane comments 
about his obesity, which did not flatter one bit.

But his capricious finding of what made malignant cancer cells 
dissipate and gravitate was so perspicuous and far-reaching,
he had been nominated for a Nobel Prize.

Premium Member Innocuous Intent


Though perspicuous from your tongue, your inurbane words flatter no one.
With their capricious nature you can't see how they alienate your heart from your mind,
yet your transitory thoughts still gravitate toward malignant ideas
which dissipate in rapid secession with each scapegoat that you find.

Premium Member Christ Is Risen

Christians offer prayer to
Heavens above,
Realizing their sins are forgiven
Instantly and forever.
Scriptures have recorded this
Transcendent act.  His death an
Investiture in mankind.  His
Sepulchre a transitory tenement.
Revived by God,
Instantiating His power
So that man may know this
Emanation was
Not accidental.
Form: Acrostic

The 'Man' and the 'Beast'

The capricious 'man',once trying to
Alienate himself
From the inurbane 'beast' -
Now tries to gravitate towards it
In an attempt to flatter 
And to dissipate all ill-feeling.
Foolish, the 'beast' misunderstands
The perspicuous lies of the malignant 'man';
Never realizing it is being used as a transitory scapegoat.

The Transitory

The Transitory 

A feline has  
Moved into the shed 
Gave birth
Two six kittens 
I’m looking for a hammer
To hit a nail 
Into the wall and hang
Up a painting of Jesus with 
His eyes closed
Looking remarkable like 
Gaddafi when he was murdered
 The painting is a fake 
Kaddafi was not
I shall miss his splendid 
Sky-blue uniform.

Dark Star

transitory meaning
lost track of the feeling
so left behind
forgetful of time
how did i get here
not as important as the why
search for the meaning
no matter how it hides
between the two sides
awake and asleep
i search out to reach
the time of becoming
when then two sides stop their shoving
to even out the waves
we must be lost before we're saved

World of Ruse

World of ruse
~~~~~~~~~~~
Materialism is transitory
Illusory, a derivative of the lacking soul
And its need to attain a truth
Veiled by the belief of mortality
Limitations are a necessity
For the sake of the grand tapestry
Far too infantile are the masses perceptions
An elusive cognitive grasp
No, just too simple
For all the fools misled by the blind

Premium Member Dream of Peace

Dreams of Peace 

                         Peace is an illusive, transitory state of mind
                         Equality fiercely sought, for all humankind
                         Awakening to the truth, we are denied
                         Crisis among nations, propels and maligns
                Ending wars, attaining world peace, a dream declined

The Memory of Skulls On a Hill

The air-ward climb –
On the weaver’s hill:

Ozone-layered: across 
The delight of new eggs;

Soft – in my intent, brief!
Transitory; leaping
From side to brighter side;

The non-conceived patterns
Growing in frequencies
By our sea-storms and dead deluge:

Are they brief?
Are they intent?
These cata-combs of broken skulls!
Are they the import of our essence?
