It is a burden to have and a privilege to hold
A do or die and a lifelong dream
Necessity plaguing mankind
And those without the sickness will die
Solemn are those hours that fill the vacancies
Of your blood is borrowed joy
Encompass the type and sip
With that tagged silver spoon.
I JUST got a job :l
undulating, waves in a dream;
white owl slipping eyes through me,
gleaming in the night
aloft with arcane insight

strange, bewitching mind prism
reflecting self contextually
speaking echoes voicelessly
like puffs of smoke erasing me:

there is no thorn in my foot
while i limp down the road
drenched in the fading red sun

i am the fog at dusk

somewhere beyond the veil,
in a misplaced pocket of time
i hear the laughter of raucous celebration
not in shimmering marble halls
but amongst the pariah
under the bridge, emanating heart-song
open to criticism
That rabid Labrador puppy
Looks so cute
As he twists and retches
Contorts and stretches
Howls and coughs
Runs then stops
Bites his own hinds
Quickly declines
But lingers
In tortured agony
Begging for the mercy shot
That will not come.
If we could just keep our lacking mouth shut
Consider the planks in our eye
Sit in quiet contemplation with our cold heart
Hold two opposing ideas in our mind
Maybe not lionise the great Alexander
And his method of dealing with knots
Untie ourself from our surety
Let our blood flow through our brain
And not clot.
Beneath the brick, a crumpled note
ink blurred by rain:
No ******* milk tomorrow.

Signed,
in silence.
Sometimes I feel
I can see through the air
Not the air
But the air
Beyond light
The one
That gives life
To the world that sits over
This Earth without blocking
Our sight.
