Prejudicial
Or Judgmental

tigers ate my night
my breath, a old pemdulum
Moon came back, unclawed

where thoughts bask
in a motionless dream
care not for the world
or wide jaws in white
a home of crocodiles

As horses they come
From corners of the heart
Echoing thunders, in delight
Dimming, the dark of the night
As horses we go
Lost in high dust, of clouds
Leaving footprints larger, longer
Of those, which drummed on the heart
And they became men, pulling reins
On the back

Every rose has its thorn
So they said
I felt those roses so
Bloom my love
Held on roots, of fears

Thought is a bird
In these hands
Yet
Wings flapping
Thought is a bird
With one home
Yet
Seldom on same branch

When our lives move on

those moments we hold
into our steel hard grip
people, clay cups in hand
to sip one’s tea in pleasure
and throw when worn out

What but the birds shrill song
The dog’s long howl
The babies screeching cry
Prickled fur of fear
Hollow ribs of the starved

half the world is busy
fitting things into their prejudices
rejecting the ‘misfits’
lauding when it ‘fits’

in an attempt to choose
unable to take a side
indecisions do confuse

Oh, so swoon the rains become our magic;
gray cloud cover speaks ominous tragic
cleansing. Spring is alive bursting rampant

In attempts to leave earth
As much as frogs aim to fly
A mistaken belief from birth

Feelings atop a velvet moon
Speaking to sensations unbound
In the cosmos of God’s tune
I slip into another universe
Wearing one more pretension
Yet with my fears I traverse
Holding my scattered emotion

In a free fall to heaven
An existence beyond meaning
Energy of words flowing from my pen
A feeling tearing my darkness apart
Flying high above a mystical air
Tingling spikes of mirth as a dart
Making loneliness light to bear

Slow steps
What was once
Considered the norm
Now seen as
Abhorrent
Crawling toward
Singularity
