Man and the Beast

After knowing so much 
of unknown, 
you were afraid, but I 
lunge for the relic.

How far you will sink 
in the depth of cries ? 
The moon will not- 
offer her lips.

Light will not give you 
the vision. A sin unrolls. 
The city burns in its- 
own garbage.

As soon as the water 
dries, eyes will blink- 
to nail down the constellation 
in fog. The tongues retreat.

Before the Candles Burn

Another workday
at the community college
    I taste the 
day as it unrolls
          Students, professors walking 
around
   Equations on a board
    Dull day 
Bu suddenly - a flash of poetry on the internet enlightens!
   Words are so powerful 
If carefully wrought
  Life can kick on down 
But poetry can lift one 
    into new realms of thinking 
     New dawns, new loves
Poetry - peace - energy - joy!

Premium Member Twice Forsaken

Listen to poem:
black clouds threaten in rumbling roars
and thunderous waves across the hills
life unrolls the worst it has to offer

and in our innocence we wonder
what has made the gods so angry
that our illusions so easily be crushed

dreams extinguished as castles crumble
grown men falling to their knees
cursing both sun and moon above

and again we ask what has made the gods so angry

Another Time

The shepherd unrolls his bedding,
Too late to get back home,
He must lie, his head on desert rock,
‘Til the raising of the dawn.

He wonders what he cannot see
Behind the stars that shine above,
Does his mother look down on him,
With her old tenderness and love.

Does the wind catch the sound of tambourines,
Are there gauze-draped dancers twirling?
Such were the dreams of a shepherd,
Before the universe went swirling.

Schnauzer In Wonderland Down a hole tumbles my dear schnauzer Sean Chasing White Rabbit, oh no, you’re gone! Now the kind Chesire Cat Unrolls a welcome mat As my friend joins a wonderous egg hunt at dawn All mimsy are the borogroves, Sean howls out with joy The guest of honor’s loved by every girl and boy Eggs aglow, a heavenly hue Every schnauzer’s dream come true! I miss you pooch but have a good life and enjoy

Premium Member To Love, or Not to Love

“To love, or not to love?” that is the point,
the focus which peers lose beyond disjoint.
To be like gods among men, and unloved,
is woe: even wild beasts are not unmoved
by these fragmented, lone, unearthly souls,
for whom the scroll of history unrolls.
Men, being so much better than feral beasts,
should shun (and despise!) the vile, evil feasts
of their hate: then love these wide-browed seers, men
and women like the wielder of this pen.

Inspiration

Somewhere between when sleep overtakes and then when I'm not really awake as if on a film running through my head the reel unrolls a story unfolds and I never lose the thread tho' the plot may be somewhat bizarre from whence I know not yet never forgot I find words appear in my mind from way over yonder out of the blue and somehow in time I make them rhyme they're fun for me a game to play with hope reading them is the same for you
