Bonus Poem: Madness That’s Broke

Of madness I’ve spoke,
but I fear it’s been broke,
from the loss of the bloke,
whom the butt of the joke,
did ensure to revoke,
the derision, incision, entitlement folk.

There’s a rhythm you see.
I’ll say it with glee.
For the rhythm is one,
and I just like me,
well to do we,
me and the sea,
pitch and roll,
smell quite like thee,
after a week of no bathing,
and fights blood-thirsty.

Oh madness!
The folly we feel,
when the masters that deal,
and tend to the wheel,
wish only to steal,
our mindless madness,
and succulent veal.

Turn to the boob.
Boy what great rube,
put this in without lube?
A great ‘roid-shaped cube,
on the hole of the human,
television-called tube.

I’ve no madness to captcha’
but only a raptcha’
to which i’ve been matched– uh,
can you please it give back na’ ?

Ah, there it returns,
the madness that burns,
a hole as it turns,
while the scent of these ferns,
know not their own yearns,
but like me do churns,
with madness and sadness, and gladness that learns.

Bonus Poem: Into You I Fall

Sleep;
wrap me in velvet,
and keep me warm.
For the nights are long,
and I am just born.

I’ve entered this world,
in the most usual of ways.
Reincarnated,
from the last of my days.

Once more I’ll live,
and one day die,
but until then I’ll give,
my all– or at least try.

For life is a gift,
not one from deities,
but rather for all,
whom share its proclivities.

When again I am forced,
to close my eyes,
and from life be divorced,
then I will sleep like no other.

Until then,
swaddle my soul,
in an endless abode,
of love and warmth,
and happiness untold.
For I am just born,
and this world it’s cold,
but I’ll know nothing of that,
until I am old.

Sleep;
hold me in dreams,
for heaven it seems,
is not a fiction,
but a place without seams.

It is on the Earth,
inside of us all,
so hold me close, sleep,
while into you, I fall.

For my gorgonZola…

Poetry-Thing Thursday: The Grave

A million to one,
the shot from a gun,
death on the run,
and a life come undone.

We should’ve known better,
than to trust in man’s sanity,
or that blood can’t get wetter,
when mixed with depravity.

But “so what” you say,
“My life’s good and okay,
good job and good pay,
no need for rebellion today.”

But what about when,
the gun’s turned in at you
will you admit then,
that the world’s gone askew?

Maybe, perhaps not.
Even if, you’re forgot.
Then again, you’ll be sought.
If so, quite a lot.

In the end all that matters,
is that life is a lesson,
and when the world’s in tatters,
we’re all a shoe-in.

Poetry-Thing Thursday: The Writer

I don’t care for your politics,
I have my own.
I don’t mind your rhetoric,
but please post-pone,
your desires to breed,
your opinions in me.

I am a writer,
that’s all I need.
I see your fire,
record its greed.
Take my oxygen,
incubate its seed.
But hear my warning,
listen and heed:

I’ve no idea,
what you do,
when you’re alone,
and you play the fool.
Whether with purpose,
or ignorant cool,
from you I guess,
the latter’s your tool.

See I’m a writer,
and it is my place,
to record the fire,
unmask its seething grace.
Whether light and loving,
or dark and dying,
your fire’s my muse,
and I’ve nothing better to do.

So remember please,
when within reach,
that I am a writer,
and I’ve lessons to teach.
Either through story,
or with rhythm, I preach,
everything that you,
might wish to beseech.

For I am a writer,
and it is my calling,
words never tire,
but silence is appalling,
When down to the wire,
my pen is scrawling,
or my wrists are afire,
from fingered keys a-crawling,
cause I am a writer,
and what’s more, never stalling.
