Longer than
An old man’s caved in nose
Rotten with lies
Cold with goodbyes
Month: September 2018
Tumbled (day 2660)
Long is the day
That approaches with sway
Blown by madness
Of ten angry horses
Tumbled autumn leaves
Gone, nevermore.
Ode to a Hard Worker (day 2659)
Your work
Inspires my work;
Your effort
Inspires my effort.
Take lead and know
Each your step
Hold mountains;
Each your effort
Hold us all together
Like no other
Force or method,
Like no other
Example of literature;
Exceeding all expectations
And leading us our way
Into a tomorrow
We shall all
Be the better
Thereof
From your today example
From your today hard work.
Ode to Rainfall (day 2658)
For you to begin
Means life can begin
Means your open waves
Flush out our open growth
Greenery, life, bounty
Aglow in the mist of it all
Where wildflowers grow
Where rivers flow
Where, cleansing,
Mountain passes erode and expose
New meaningful branches
That drip drops pulse
Of your giving force
To flood river deltas
That give to each ocean
What was once so far
Only to begin again
The cycle of evaporation,
Condensation, rainfall.
Lichen (day 2657)
Overwhelming experiences
Laid the groundwork
Afresh
Like lichen upon dead branches
Where rainfall
To rest
And there lying next to it
Awaiting
Cried knowledge
Unable to fly
Abreast
Shallow Grave (day 2656)
I woke into a shallow grave
A sight not seen before
Two vegabonds and I
Had no more wine to down
So out the door we flew
To catch a dirty crew
Carrying over top their heads
Two damsels I’d never met
Who asked us to follow them on
A roundabout way towards
What none had seen before
Lost we had not declared
Yet feeling had heen long awhile
But in the end
Around the bend
We all greeted then parted ways
With the grizzly sight
We had taken to see
And took depart upon the case.
Razorblade (day 2655)
Come along
Miss Razorblade
Feed a fire tonight
Sharpen all
Your wits and charm
Feed me unending fuel
For I cannot say
Cannot stay to long
Without a cause
Case and clue
On my lucky shoes
Frosted (day 2654)
When everything around comes to light
Fancies all the shine
Weather takes a lot to grow
Winter of my mind
Can you take me along the road
Fundamental ritual
Carry off a long cleansing
Frosted lies the earth
Candle Lit Mood (day 2653)
Lit a candle
To set the mood
Of which I fell
Direct in to.
Not to worry
For in the back
A rattling rain
Went on again.
Into a Flower (day 2652)
Walking home
Whistling a tune
I pulled a flower
To look into
What I had always
Wanted to
And there beyond
What I could explain
Sat a curious Chipmunk
Who whispered to me
A secret song
I had known
For very long
Which made me think
I had to look
Deep within
Many more flowers.
