Static in Webs of Our Own Devise

Logic Dictates
Emotion flows
Desire abates
laughter equals woes

Tragic events
Comedy conflicts
Should life prevent
Does addiction addict

Everyone is all
Anything am I
I’d rather have a ball
Than live in the mire which is this incomprehensible jumble of emotion snake oil which is easily peddled but indigestible by more delicate stomachs. But Hey! Delicacies are not necessarily sought after, especially the intestinal type. But rather the plethora of platitudes than the dirth of digressions. Speaking of which — does discourse desist in dictation? — egression from our souls constitutes a violation of sacred unity with the trinity and such can result in legal action and charges of abandonment. Meaning cannot encompass the total and overall understanding needed to envision the concept of definitions. The synonymous use of meaning and definition can only result in in tragic, classical or neo-classical, and equally predictable results. Should this therefore and evermore result in the abandonment of meaning in our existence or rather an elevation of pseudo-scientific terminology to a previously unconceived plateau from which will descend definition of our, and hopefully others’, universe? Poetry in Prose: Degraded Discourse?

A Poem

Poetry in motion
Movement of words
Destructive invective
The power of syllables
Simple, sonorous
       Sounds
The effect of I – we
       they : it
Language; imagistic
Images of death, fire, destruction, desire
or brilliant white power, of love and
       of flowers
Who is responsible for
the tools of definition?
Are words less than bombs,
Do not tongues draw more blood
       than bayonets…
Existence is words, reality is prose
Poetry controls
       Death is a definition.

Woe

Woe (what a weird word!)

The Absurdist choice
    the one you can’t make yet
    is always open to you

Clowns –> need for/lack of demand?

iye!
   eye!
      ie. …

Brabbit Bverse!

A brace of Bruce
broods in a brothel,
Pathetic ponderings of a
puerile persuasion.
demented doomsaying,
death and destruction
branded particles devolve…

Undated. Written on a whim when I was still trying to write.

Haiku

Sitting on the front of my spaceship
Shining my flashlight ahead,
Can I dream of infinite eternity

Found in Journal labeled “recopied from scraps:”

Day to Day

dreams of dominance,
delight in death,
driven to damnation,
dominus deos.
         another day

 

Handwritten poetry pulled from my journal of the day.

T’amo

Feelings flood over the fields of my souls
Engendering honesty; true
Love germinates, penetrates the soil/surface
The irrigated land brings forth, seedlings
Tender stalks — reaching out— into the sun
The light heat warmth caresses the infant shoots
Bursting resplendent into life the colorful
                 extravagance of new, nature

Reborn
         waiting to be harvested —
         Patience — yet gain
The field lies fallow, flooded with emotion
Hibernating, waiting for Persephone
         peacefully, happily, anticipating

 

Another excerpt from my handwritten journal

untitled

Joy of her, pleasure in her
Orbits, celestial movement
Revolutions in time and space
Her center is my axis
I define within that reality
         It is good
         yet I fear

 

Second of two handwritten poems found on a sheet. Classic examples of the traditional bad love poetry of a young man. 🙂

What Would You Have?

Please, what would you have me dream of,
If you were mistress of all my dreams?
One with nature, a peaceful life,
Of mountains lakes and cool blue streams?
Would you have me dream: soft clouds, white
Dancing floating infinite blue?
Always changing, dancing in the light
Endless, countless variations.
Or would you hold me with your love?
Curled safe in the warmth of passions.
The rays of you heart about me,
Shielding my soul form cruel cold pains.
Drift afloat on a green-blue sea
Or gently rest a calm blue space,
An ethereal room imagined,
In these dreams I could find a place
If you could fill my sleep soothed mind,
With images: you by my side,
And our arms and minds intertwined.
Please what would you have me dream of,
If you were mistress of all my dreams?
All that I would wish to dream of
Is to open my eyes to you.

 

Typewritten (on my old apple IIC). This one almost has something going for it.
