fill the void, oh! hotshot 
knuckle down to call in question
like elucidation of parting shot
triviality over inflection

INTEREGNUMS
eyes
  flickering
overblown
  engaging
flares
in
nocturnal
 concentration
changing
in
the wind

dispersed
help fix
the mood
soften
  tones
to give
 structure
to
sensitive
  expression
cudhioned
with
  charm
in stillness
where
triviality
  dreams...

Oh, cloudy days..... 
Why do we constantly block divine rays? 

Oh, selfie society..... 
Why not less ME and more WE? 

Oh, foggy haze..... 
Why are we walking around in a daze? 

Oh, social mediums of triviality..... 
Why are we drifting further from reality? 

Oh, doleful times
Why isn't there more love in our hearts and minds? 

Why oh, 

Why oh, 

Why?...

After the tender moments 
and the whispered promises
Love can go awry
Two spirits who met and made love
may end their bond 
over a triviality
To build trust is no easy task 
It can be toppled by a word
Still, we seek joy and fufillment
In each other's arms 
We walk upright into the new day 
Hope steals into our hearts
Yes, love can go awry 
But we'll persist 
Take our chances 
Let the karmic wheel spin 
in our direction...

weeks months days pass by
like strangers on the street
never looking him in the eyes
or stopping to notice the
bitterness behind them
but the seconds the minutes
stall
and he feels them all
like needles in the skin
acupuncture for the soul
but this is all the pain
without the treatment
banality and triviality
and now redundancies
sadly appropriate
for the life he leads
doesnt it stop












hed like to think so...

TRUTH

We are living in disruptive times
voices are loud and angered
shouting change and resistance..
Multiple truths seem to thrive
for brief moments within mixes 
of contingency and suffering..
Truth has been curtained
in shadows of triviality..
Our most desperate need
is for Truth to be exposed
calling each of us by that
ancient name: I Am..
Such new recognition
must sooth angered voices
dissolving idolatrous lies
in a morning's new light......

I place a great deal of importance on morality
and never will I perceive it as a mere triviality
It is a fine quality I seek when choosing a friend
A virtuous trait, one should never condescend

Those relishing debauchery, I consider unsavory
Surrendering their honor will surely lead to slavery
A bondage that breaks the ethical code of respect
Their sense of morality is in a state of gross neglect

New Dawn

Darkness at the edges of my vision
Blurred as time erases contours of the past

The evoked is as sharp as a lone tree on a hill
The dark shadows at the foot of the mountain.

The loneliness of walking on a road where no one lives
Knowing you are the last one of your tribe 

The memory has shed the execs burden of triviality
Distorted remains float out of reach to make sense.

A new morning is a mere comma in the vastness
In the end, life is a dream of no consequence....
