Forget It

Ageless sky looks down
With wisdom ungiven
How many have walked where I have been
Whose eyes have brightened at discoveries I thought were made anew
Silver stars that watched, so too
Will see me pass through


Loyalties Curse

A safe lie to make,
   outweighed T-Bone stake.
A fassad way to fake,
   not for Heavens but your sake.
Concrete ankle drowned bottom lake,
   no more time to never awake.
Live nightmared body shake,
   blind eyes glossed opaque.
Ice cream flavored frozen cake,
   ungiven life chose to take. 
Now you gotta live with that mistake,
   if I die before I wake...

Common Threads

Collective self-consciousness,
the well where I draw
old voices and struggles
lie deep in its craw
What’s shared but unstated,
reflexively pawned
to borrow ungiven
the right to what’s wrong
Collective self-consciousness,
polarity’s friend
unspoken meridian
between fact and pretend
To wait in the memory
of what’s yet to come
released by the moment
—humanity won
