Short Verses and Other Curses #2
(a second round-up of haiku and other diminutive discourses of mine posted in various places throughout the cybersphere)
*
Primal December
I ache for those pagan days
Saturnalia!
*
It's those voices;
those penetrating and perturbing voices;
ethereal voices spoken from faceless mouths;
Yes, those voices.
*
how I view the world
requires not my eyes to see
my life's perspective
*
long and dark-filled days
the light that once pleased now pains
still, faith guides my way
*
tho' beyond my ken
speak unto me with thy tongue
whispered words betray
*
land between rivers'
nine year death knell rings no more
lies alone prevailed
*
Now is not so bad.
But, it always seems
to be a little better
as Then.
*
Surround me with such things
Erudite things
Simple things
Things of pleasure
Things of pain
Any thing
That can both
Take me forward
And can bring me back
To where I long to be
And to where I forever dread
*
minds provoked, pursued
the beating and burning heart
graves settle but dust
*
the blood turns not red
until the wound has occurred
truths are bound by scars
*
the slow burning fuse
the flash of the fireworks
none live less the spark
*
mete me with wisdom
mete me with the hidden way
blind, I find no bliss
*
empirical lust
a burning need for knowledge
cant douses the flame
*
Love's arrival
demands Epiphany's flourishing trumpet.
Love's departure
requires no such song.
*
forge forever on
tho' dark death rewards us all
forge forever on
*
whither journey's end
is that which eludes me
yonder shall I go
*
from mind to matter
believe it and it shall be
you determine you
*
sing out savior songs
dance free amongst the cherubs
listen for the wind
*
if we chance to win
we must also chance to lose
both promise rewards
*
who among us all
leave no footsteps in the sand
who can bar the tide
*
the word is as told
its telling built empires
decontruct it all
