The pool of my life
One day as I sat on a float, In a pool, I heard a voice call to me, I got off the float, Swam to the side, Pulled myself out of the water, And headed down the hall, Toward the sound of the voice. Back toward the locker room, The voice called to me again,…

Sacrifice
We who lose hope, There is no hope greater to lose than that of the future, There is no future without children, There are no children without the hope of betterment, We have lost hope. We have gained purpose, In our descent into madness, Through the lives of our children, Our purpose is gained, Our…

Singularity
The city was dark The riots that began Were now silent The people that were fighting Were now still The capital building That was lit with fire Now even the fire was dark All life was now pointed to the top of the building A light more brilliant than the star in the sky It…

Gold that Bursts
To see the hurricane, From the same eye level, What a awesome sight! For it is not white, Nor is it purple, It is Golden. It is as though men have sought battle again, To see the golden light, For it to capture the dark horizon, My oh my what a sight! Each bolt looks…

It is her
Fire of the red seems to be her true quality, For what has more ambition than that color, The color of fire, The true life giving power of blood, The salvation of men through power. Long have I sought her, Through disappointments, Through disasters, Through illogical patterns of lust and envy, She shines brightly on…

Senseless
Senseless The eyes are not here There are no eyes here In this valley of dying stars In this hollow valley This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms In this last of meeting places We grope together And avoid speech Gathered on this beach of the tumid river Sightless, unless The eyes reappear As the…

The Life of the Tree
Those who live short and mobile lives, Those may seem like hasty folk, For a life in movement, Is guaranteed to move toward death, But that is not to say that they are pointless, For all other living beings, Seek to live reproduce and try and live as long as possible, That is not so…
