Short Unsteadily Poems

Along the paths of life
      i walk  unsteadily
       with my shadow friend...
        though hesitant...
        always sympathetic...

The words came slashing  
Shortening the towering statue 
With blows after blows 
 visible dents were made
To these lifetime stones
Strengthened with sweat and stress
Now crumbling from the swirling saliva
Raging from each forming words
Words from decades past 
unsteadily revealing the weakened stones
embed within...

Elevating him to king
was what we all desired,
so, one foggy June -
nonseasonal, we did.

The crown, unsteadily,
found its way to Minto's head,
and we all cheered
"Long live, long live!"

The fog made it hard to see
what was going on,
and Minto began swearing -
what a preposterous carry on!

Seeking enhancement 
We pause
The cause
Of ego discontentment 

Pulsating in exhilaration 
Blissful but yet
Lest we forget
We are bound in limitation 

To rhythm divine we sway
Continuously
But unsteadily
Sometimes ego has its way

Viewing attention oscillation 
In innocence 
Nonchalance 
Throb of bliss our orientation

This was pain like none I'd had before
from ground up felt like I had been impaled
I leaned unsteadily against the door
fists tightly clenched, through gritted teeth inhaled.
The need to cry out was hard to suppress
in silence, cursed all things from earth to sky
until at last the agony grew less
and fiery tempered thoughts had passed me by.
It will happen again, yes, this I know,
on bedroom radiator stub my toe....

Face with enigma of reality
My heart beat fading in the 11th hour
Eroding love and hate as it lost meaning 

An elixir to turn the last beat to gold
Unsteadily I elevate to extinction 
Exiting memories of the celestial body

How long can I hold on to them 
I'm loosing everything 
Enough of this emotional emptiness 

Oh I need a drop of methylenedioxymethamphetaine 
If this is my last moment
I want to live it on Uranus...
