A Stirring

I repose in my ship setting at the harbor 
Ruminating about the endless time
Arms behind head; gazing towards gilded sun
In comes rolling clouds ever sublime

Anchor up; ship unmoored
Wind guides me into the ocean infinite
Waves crash; the spray cools my face 
Land dissolves into distant memory; I sit

Clouds abate; I move about
Looking o’er starboard; gold dazzles the surface
Waves calm with the rhythm of my heart
I furrow my brows, pondering purpose

My ship still; creatures circling about
Mysterious beasts below; majestic birds high
Life unattained by hand’s reach, Spirit touches
Atlas, for a moment, releases the sky

Time evaporates like a candle in the wind 
The sun magnifies as it falls into the sea
Day & Night collide; Past & Future fold
The birds and whales move in harmony

The collision a ripple in the ocean of the Universe
Celestial beings burst into a spectral road
Arcing down to the deck near my feet
Nervous my eyes cast upon it to and fro

No rails; no certainty; right foot takes first step
A piece of serenity touches the veins in my toes
Right hand reaches down to feel it, too
The rest of my body emerges; soul glows

I stand thereupon, it carries me above the world
I see everything and nothing simultaneously
The dynamics of the Universe flow ever anon
Eyes widen; soul enriched instantaneously

Cast back to my ship; Atlas returns to work
The birds and the beasts of the sea carry on.
I glance at the sunset; my soul toasts the day
Three cheers for Peace!  It shall be my song!

Night falls gently rolling down my shoulders
As my ship comes back to the pier
My vessel anchored and moored once again
The full moon drew my face near

“Forget it not,” I hear a whisper say
And I shudder; at home I turn the keyhole 
“Forget it not,” the whisper will not relent
I open the front door; Peace stirs within my soul

Madness

                                                                  I've dreamt of this day                    The day when I could say                                                              "To hell with it!" And, just do me!                            All bulwarks exploded                                                                             Whatever will b...

Insatiable Appetites

Do you think me pleased? Why should I be? How can I hide My wrath from thee? I cannot fit your meter My rhythm rules to-day. Your snub-nosed convention Is repugnant anyway. Why do I keep giving  These People a chance To realize they are performers In a malignant dance? I keep thinking they'll learn To stretch their narrow views Yet their ears are closed. What is the use? Do you really think Nothing matters in the end? Are my words meaningless? Wisdom dissolves in The Wind. And so ere it goes. From Age to Age. You'd think you'd learned your History Yet you can't even bear one Page.  So now off I go Once again to the underground. All of these fucking imbeciles Mindlessly prancing around. Annihilation is their guide. That's the nature of the Beast -  Listening to bloodthirsty maniacs They long for their feast. You think you possess The Eye of Eternity? You are blindfolded By your own merciless depravity! You take your aim Through the scope of the sniper. Merrily you go...

Public Enemy

I lived within those walls over there The ceiling - they called it “sky” They said, “The Maker creates order Why would you bother asking ‘why?’” Daily happy music resounded From speakers placed on each street Day in and day out - nothing new Everything positioned so nice and neat The houses there were all alike So eloquently symmetrical Clichés & memes filled the air No space for anything dialectical But curiosity goaded me anyhow “What is this Being within this skin?” “Tis’ selfish to ask,” they gnarled, “It might lead thee to sin!” I travelled till I could go no further Where I saw a hidden door I opened it and to my surprise Was a world I’d never known before Fruits of the trees tasted sweeter Than those which I grew accustomed  I looked back and asked myself “How could I ever again trust them?” Then, I felt sad and thought with hope, “Perhaps, I can show them what I’ve found! If they could see the sky, hear the wind, Feel the soles of their feet on the ground!” Gleefully, I...
