Musings, Reflections & Poetry: 2018

Fission

Ribbed gap of mine

Heart hah, pure stein

A smile that shines

Maybe even blinds

And then none can see

What's beneath the glee

Unanswered goes the why

Not even I

Can decrypt this

Absence of bliss

So break clean

And restart after a sheen

Expecting a change

Fool's errand of the strange

None can understand

Nor can they stand

The burden I bear

Escapes the deepest stare

The tear and wear

Of the patchwork unfair

Lying in a bind

Ribbed gap of mine

Eidolon

The night brings words

Those caress and haunt

Devoid of rest, full of taunt

The Sandman deterred

Them words light a bulb

Their letters lego-ing up

Swallow 'em up in a gulp

Literary hookup of a schmuck

The bright of the dawn

Arranges up the letters

Fawning on the spawn

In stanzas and verses

One last proofread

Before we exceed

All flair put bare

Through this nightly affair

Anima

It is easy to just hate

When you lie and stagnate

Fear that cannot abate

Ignorance that intoxicates

Not seeing the degenerate

In the mirror's duplicate

Fixating on how to alienate

To just agitate and aggravate

Rather why not amputate,

Devaluate a belief so ingrate?

For a mind that can mediate

To expand and gravitate

Will faster mutate and proliferate

Raise your pulse and growth rate

So why go for hate

When love can stimulate?

Get rid of that weight

Of ignorance and fear that castrate

Get a backbone, you invertebrate

Make the world your soulmate

Inferno

Ashes in an urn

Turn and burn

Post-combust

Return to the dust

Spark an ember

Feed the tinder

Light the fire

Bright the pyre

Bones to powder

Cometh the hour

Party down under

In the Devil's bunker

3.0

Barrier breached

And milestone reached

Slow and easy we go

Enjoying Life's gentle to and fro

Why strife for the scythe

When there's no way out?

Might as well faff about

And be blessedly blithe

Maybe just an exiled's excuses

Or a finger to the Universes

Stung or sung, the double tongue

Now too old to die young

Thirty could be alchemic

Or maybe just Torschlusspanik

Mirare

And what will you do,

When the going gets tough;

When life's seas get rough;

When the threat of Death

Or worse befalls you?

Who will you blame?

Without any shame

Anything, anyone, but you.

Fate & circumstances,

Family and acquaintances,

God, Satan, and their minions

Excuses in the millions

Just not to stare in that mirror

Oh the lies, the horror!

To even remotely consider

That you're in error

To realise... you're a sinner.

A Jedi Prayer

Heed the teachings of Old

In order to be ready

When destiny unfolds

Watch carefully

The happenings of this century

Following its course

Driven by an unknown Force

A galaxy controlled by Darths

Enemy of the home and hearth

So control your midichlorians

And stray not from the Jedi path

For therein lies the Darth dens

Only then can you fairly cater

And justly police
The galaxy's Justice and Peace

May you never waver

Armed only with your heart
And a lightsaber
