Soul Cry…….
Feb 19th
Elements of deception
Cloud my perception
As I seek an intervention
God give me direction
Enemies abound
They seek to pounce
Without a sound
But cowardice betrays them
They seek safe haven
Not a man among them
Mere mindless shells
Lacking testicular fortitude
How I long for solitude
Peace of mind
I search for
But cannot find
A place where the color of the grass
Would inspire Zen like musings
Such would be a place of my choosing
With air so clean as to effect
A euphoria of narcotic dimensions
Not to mention the quiet
Punctuated by gurgling streams
The birdsong’s sweet lullaby
But such are only imaginings
Does my Ides of March draw nigh
Must I also be doomed to utter
“Et tu Brute” of a fashion
Must I be like “The 300”
Standing my ground
In the face of insurmountable odds
Alone in a dark tunnel
A light pierces the gloom
My spirits are lifted
Then deflated
The light I see in front of me
Heralds the onrushing train
I am alone….It is dark
I AM UNAFRAID.

Insipid Tea
Jan 11th
There was I time a drank with much
gusto…..Potions from those leaves.
Vitality and joy they brought me
A healing…..My soul cleansed.
The nourishment spawning a renaissance
A rebirth of sorts and I was fulfilled.
Time passed…..things changed.
The stars were no longer aligned
My Nirvana proved to be a holographic
concoction of a psyche that longed for
redemption. The replenishing rains came
no more…..Tis a season of drought.
The roots of my once bountiful flora
have withered and died.
I am left with naught but dust.
For I reap a bitter harvest
The leaves are brown and the taste
is unbearable.
