maze?Fitting pieces circumstantially?In wakeful awareness and daze?8>)
Life and Rhetoric II
Circumstance is fleeting?We run with the current and do what we must?In retrospect fitting?Ignorant of present and wise of the past?8>)
Here's a Crowd
Chaos plays Jack-in-a-Box?Father Time oils his clocks?Mother Nature preens her hair?Courage makes his own chair?Fate deals her card deck?Past is ever dwelling back?Present plays with Here and Now?Future poses with When and How?Peace reclines in sweet repose?Purity, not a spot on her clothes?Wish speculates wistfully?Reality alters mercurially?Sleep is strictly not to be disturbed?Wakefulness stirs on its own turf
Those which have been named?Our tempers they have tamed?Spans of ages they have reigned?Outlasting Pride and things vain?8>)
Emerge
From its perch molten orb uncovers day?As diurnal beings emerge to seek hay?From its perch Certainty clears murky?As it hands Conscience the masterkey?8>)
Diggging the heels
We are drunk by sweet claret?Our Fates dealt by tarot?By causes the brows had furrowed?For causes reserves had burrowed?Take us to where redemption's moored?We head forth firm where none detoured?8>)
Glutton's Delight
Surprise quirks spur a thirst?that which quenches hungers?a second follows first?that which restores changes?8>)
Allow Me
Allow me your sweet musings?Those worry and hurry overlooked?Fairer than sweet nothings?Solace and Patience shan't be duped?8>)
Curiosity
Curiosity taps my hesitation?My gaze blinks warily?What's the price of revelation??Mere lunge and peep only??8>)
Same Suspect
The hand that won the crown?The same hand wipes the brow?Look ye all up and down?The same one anyhow?8>)
Lines of Joy
Our bliss filled wings flutter?The heart traipses with rapture?Pure joy has its mirrors?Smiling delight it sires?8>)
Be the Spark
Let not might expire?At the topmost spire?Nor fine sinews tire?Bogged in messy mire?Come strike and feed first spark?Hues to all pale and stark?8>)
Morrow
Within a bewildered mire?Resolve sires inner fire?Speedy streaks aimless confusion wreaks?Like brittle burnt twigs confusion creaks?An inner spark, emerges, divulges?Upon mortal frailty, comforts, touches?Lament not in sorrow?Embrace the fair morrow
Deeds past lodge in memory's place?My time now in haste or good pace?The crook of the trick my conscience prick?Truth I seek for it I shan't be meek?A lively spark, emerges, divulges?Upon mortal frailty , comforts, touches?Lament not with sorrow?Embrace the fair morrow?8>)
Scaling The Ladder
Mighty obligation curtailed voice?Left us splinters we took as choice?I've been bumped from nook to cranny?Had some, somedays crumbs of plenty?Yet learned and notched miles and hours?On wet grass to brazen towers?It's sweat, dread, I'm glad to have left?Despite and in spite of, unsapped?On full alert to hit the heights?Bide in stride and take in the sights?8>)
The seer said to me
Fear me not I am not Harm?Unclench fists and ready arm?I see woven threads, wordly realms?The beaten track and what it seems?Crossroads present ripples the current?Absent indulgence tickles serpent
Bridge the chasmic ridge
Defy Destiny you live in grief?Welcome what's to be then judge and sieve?Keep the torch blazing in its glow?Leave solace basking in the know?My sanctum now sows the seed?The seer's form to edge recede?8>)
SURSUM CORDA-Lift up your hearts
Come my dears the sun yellow?Beckons thee out of sorrowful wallow?The pit of tears runs too shallow?For lively spirits mellow and callow?Let's be gone with many a-bellow?We cross the hollow elbow to elbow?8>)
FINICKY FANCY
Go and Run ,skulk and hide?The hazy signs of next delight?ever mercurial as fickle tide?you say it's done then you might
I shall run and stay beside?No cell here is watertight?Evolution's a bumpy ride?It's not done, might just might?8>)
RHYME JIVE
Glasses of wine crowns a good dine?Sips of rhyme to while the time?I say mine, you say your line?Brightens the clime, isn't it fine??8>)
Taken from a drunk's pocket:
If you said gin and tonic?I think you're prophetic?But if you called for beer?Bear the wine drinkers' sneer?Got caught in my veins some scotch?Surprised my mind's not scorched?If I hear of old Bloody Mary?Let me check out cash and carry?Now don't you say rum and tequila?My marushka let's pour some vodka?I'm really not that taciturn?Just the burden of some bourbon?8>)
SEASIDE SUNRISE
From distance and depths they roll?nearer like a constant stroll?their formation fluidly rustling?nearing leaves slovenly shaking?salt in my nose, curled up my toes?I can see the troopers moving hither
Horizon of scattered specks?unheeding fluid troopers' tracks?wavy phalanx forward advance?prance a primordial nature's dance?glare in my eyes, from morn sunrise?my attention attends along the strand?8>)
Requiem
Drowned by the hand of mortality?a soul shines where Angels ply?with Goodness pure and Divine mercy?(s)he now dwells where Angels fly?8>)
Face in the Crowd
When it all rolls over?and our hearts sobered?I'll be a face in the crowd
When the hurly-burly bustle?on its own weight tumble?I'll stay a face in the crowd
When I take things slower?and I'm less of a mover?I'll be a face in the crowd
When I'm less able?to bet on the table?I'll stay a face in the crowd
When voices speak softer?less to excite over?I'll be a face in the crowd
Let's pack it all in?live off it from within?Just like a face in the crowd?8>)
All in All
All our given sunrises?All our sunsets ordained?All our best desires?All our hearts proclaimed?All untruth never maul?All truest all in all?8>)
AIR OF
