if you dare

outa there
when the calm takes over, and share
yes share the skies
see how she flies
and know
let’s show

it’s jimmy; he never goes
and the time flows
like sand
all across the land
i see you follow
in every tomorrow

but i can’t stop this feeling
tho i can touch the ceiling
now comes the word
it was never so absurd
its the spell of her
blessed be the blur

so tell the souls
whoever controls
that this is the age
to turn the page
then smoke the air
if you dare

Any Random Number

When random numbers catalyse the reaction of visions with thought,
or harmonies arouse memories of occasions with nought,
then there can be freedom, a pause
midst the turmoil and its cause.
The dangers disappear
though they are so near.

And here we sit
in the stink and shit;
the bodies that were,
those that did dare
to speak, when others fell
into their hell.

So the numbers stream,
and while it might seem
that more is less,
there will be redress.
How could they be forgotten,
for they are our begotten?

Why should ten there be one here, or fractions?
Why do our reactions
gainst nightmares in the sun
only put us on the run?
Can we not calculate
an end? Or is it too late?

If chance be the denominator
then what part of morality will be the attenuator?
Perhaps the vastness of this place
or the timelessness of the race
will serve to temper the truth conveyed by mischievous mathematicians,
else this could be timeliness; enter magicians.

nothing

Why would I want to know that kids eat free?
Is it just me,
or do questions like that only apply to them?
Not to condemn
those that ask.

When teeth are clenched so tight that my head aches,
what still makes
me tick
when the wick
has burned out?

Tears are merely the void,
an attempt to avoid
the inevitable,
only agreeable
to those that know …

nothing.

Fleisch

Eating in the afternoon
Eating under a cerise moon
Eating rare in the dark of night
Eating fleisch is always right

Sitting there under the stars, some shooting
Watching the little boys and girls go looting
I began to ponder on the luminosity
Of the power, and its futile pomposity

But hey, I put time aside and took a break off
To force the fleisch until it made me cough
Another day of the dripping soul
Sustenance to make me whole

The stars remained much as they were
Not quite enough light to read by, but they don’t care
I like that attitude, it’s just dandy fine
It reminds me lately alike as mine

So the story goes on, (with a snack to peck)
I splutter with the red stuff, but what the heck
Now listen well to this yarn of old
It features fleisch, it’s often cold

Those who say, “This is what to do.”
Are the very carriers of fleisch to you
So as they stress, “No vote should waste.”
Lick your lips, for they’re the taste

Of future’s change, not their domain
from ripping teeth they’ll feel the pain
And let them see who takes the bite
As they enter endless night

Vignette

This vignette of me
is all you see.
But there’s more
here, not just this lonely bore.
Look toward these eyes.
That’s no reflection of the skies,
it’s the world inside,
a truth that I hide.

Between the drops of rain
is where to leave the pain.
In the sparkle of stars
and the passage of scars
is the reason for now
and the story of how.
Gaze deeper into these orbs.
Understand, as your realization absorbs.

Then there’re the days,
fleeting, but in such different ways.
The ones when heavy is not enough
to describe how tough.
Others remain forever
and some are missed altogether.
Yet here you are in my today.
Are you transient, or will you stay?
