Inconsequential (Haiku Format)

Left me high and dry With no room to spare inside Consolation prize There's no end in sight Your favorite ********* Returns the favor Supernova explodes Into a spectrum of light The colors bleeding Gone without a trace Absorbed into outer space Totally consumed Beings of light Trapped in material form Roses which adorn Untapped potential Systematically reformed Inconsequential

Some days I like the way the world has changed I want to kiss you and smile And jump and shout But my feet stay grounded And the feelings won't pour out Oceans no longer divide our hearts I'd like to think we'd never cry apart Moment's notice I'm running out Birthdays on sunny Saturdays Car keys ID Last rights Secretive admirations and sweet nothings Following the waves ashore to their destinations One night It's late and there's a light still on in a single room From the break of dawn on into the afternoon Prodigal sons and heavenly daughters Carefree times to embrace the things that really matter And then comes Sunday Today I hold my breath and wait Will the love reciprocate? Can the givers learn to take? One day maybe I will finally understand What it meant to take your hand What you said, it lifted me Sweet release, at last relief Good night, goodbye Sweet dreams Last night I had this realization Life's too short to live to hate Tomorrow morning when I wake I think I'll lay down some roots and be here to stay And learn to live and laugh and enjoy myself All this stinging pain has worn me out As the blinding light gives way to night Good night City lights Skylines Headlines Blessings all dressed up in disguise Twist the truth but tell no lies Good news these days is everywhere Sometimes if you don't know where to look It's hard to find but on the hook Last gasp of breath but had a good time Is what I'll say Someday

The More Things Change

Some days I like the way the world has changed I want to kiss you and smile And jump and shout But my feet stay grounded And the feelings won't pour out Oceans no longer divide our hearts I'd like to think we'd never cry apart Moment's notice I'm running out Birthdays on sunny Saturdays Car keys ID Last rights Secretive admirations and sweet nothings Following the waves ashore to their destinations One night It's late and there's a light still on in a single room From the break of dawn on into the afternoon Prodigal sons and heavenly daughters Carefree times to embrace the things that really matter And then comes Sunday Today I hold my breath and wait Will the love reciprocate? Can the givers learn to take? One day maybe I will finally understand What it meant to take your hand What you said, it lifted me Sweet release, at last relief Good night, goodbye Sweet dreams Last night I had this realization Life's too short to live to hate Tomorrow morning when I wake I think I'll lay down some roots and be here to stay And learn to live and laugh and enjoy myself All this stinging pain has worn me out As the blinding light gives way to night Good night City lights Skylines Headlines Blessings all dressed up in disguise Twist the truth but tell no lies Good news these days is everywhere Sometimes if you don't know where to look It's hard to find but on the hook Last gasp of breath but had a good time Is what I'll say Someday

These long days I need to sigh And take things breath to breath Some days I escape to forget My appetite's multidimensional Even though the love is mutual What happened to the ages lost? Was today just waiting in the wings? Motivation is like a ***** word My lucky coin can't buy nothing But nothing else can buy it back Time to rise and shine And get the wheels back on track Watching cable TV It screams a blue and red dichotomy Blend to purple Black and blue What am I supposed to do? Black and blue Those aimless zombies missed the mark But their shot rings true In a state of disbelief In a land of disagreement I'll hang my hat on tempting fate Knowing well I'll never get a second chance I'll melt the polar glaciers With the laser focus of an errant glance These lost days I need to find my peace And speak my piece Let the dogs up off the leash The fighting spirit runs wild and free No mental fitness guru tells me who to be Or what to say I have a mantra I repeat Again and again and again I test the muddy waters And dip my toes in But the verdict is lukewarm I steal the honey all for the money District the bees that swarm Why else, of course Blend to purple A royal cordial Black and blue No guru gonna tell me what to do

Fate is but a curious pattern of twists An ode to the memories you'd rather forget We are two halves Two parts of a whole Chaos ensues when our union is full Modern day ecosystems are meaningless We're a draconian species destined to go extinct Bound by the theories of renaissance We grab all we can and do whatever we want Primitive and limited, foresight is prohibited A far cry from the eyes of Egyptian pyramids Here comes a blight that weathers no fight Everyone going in different directions Like sinking ships that pass in the night No politicians plan beyond the next generation Just until the extent of their own destination The cupboard runs bare The well has dried up Millionaires groom their heirs The muck has run amok But the maiden was fair Now we're all sitting ducks The hourglass fills up at the bottom Government bodies are callous masses of atoms

Take a seat and settle in The masquerade will soon begin Fallen heroes and angels in the snow I listen in and clutch the ropes Gridlocked traffic lines the roads Satellites are good to go All the people cheering For the man who breaks the ceiling Astronauts who time forgot Pioneers and cosmonauts The hairs upon the dogs stand still I feel a shiver and then a chill The flowers withered in the gardens Jet engines roaring All systems go, the show is starting I ****** a feather floating in midair Frozen cold and solid, caught her icy glare We're living proof of bitter days to come Chase the rabbits down the holes they run Hold the light don't let it go now Grab the love don't let it slow down Love, joy, grief, belief, hope, and fear Seize the moment Hold it dear Don't let it end like this Don't hold out waiting for the final kiss

I want to know the the truth The privileged secrets known by the few But they say it's better this way A light in the dark A hint of ignorant bliss on the wind But what do I know? I'm a everyday fool I sing in the rain I feel nice and safe Or so I'm told anyway I'm a no name They laugh in my face They dance on my grave The ending's the same It will all be ok Such and such #strong Remain calm and carry on I'll guess I'll play along... For now anyway

Ignorance is Bliss (?)

I want to know the the truth The privileged secrets known by the few But they say it's better this way A light in the dark A hint of ignorant bliss on the wind But what do I know? I'm a everyday fool I sing in the rain I feel nice and safe Or so I'm told anyway I'm a no name They laugh in my face They dance on my grave The ending's the same It will all be ok Such and such #strong Remain calm and carry on I'll guess I'll play along...

Maximum threshold The pain multiplied tenfold It's raining outside Shipwrecked and stranded On the mast, wait for sunset This goes on for days Starving and marooned Here comes forth a mighty swoon Staring at the moon Now comes a big wave It could easily drown you Sapped of your last strength A bright light beams down A helicopter above! Deep breath, you've been found Something isn't right The copter is out of gas Alas, it crashes It was meant to be The hands of fate decided Both wash out to sea

Holstered at high noon Blistering with festered wounds First of many moons Fire raining down Tap a vein of blood in the ground Void of life and sound Shelter for relief Burn the place around my feet Respite that I seek Perish in my youth Yellow candles light the room Cultured yet uncouth Painted red the town Carnage glistens all around Gone and left to drown Woken by the cries A place I still recognize Dreams arrive to die Atone and bleed the sin An evil presence descends Quell the rage within I won't die in vain Nefarious and insane Poppies soothe the pain Worn upon our sleeves Phasing unpredictably Nature of the beast Tread lightly forward Origin of vile scourge Yet ventured onward Grains of salt and sand In reunion holding hands Flee this barren land

I'm torn and wearing down I'll leave your town without a sound When the love is fading out I'll crawl like a mouse Out of sight and out of mind It dampens my fire ***** it all out Showdown Low down Go down Smoldered and shouldered I'll play the clown Once the garden was green The birds chirped and sang The light of day nurturing An aura of peace Love and warmth and Milk and sweetness And golden honey But a babe who twisted the rules He played the keepers for fools Always some trouble of playing with fire From a prodigal son into a merciless liar He promised and swore not to open that door But the fruit was ripe and yet tempting Like ambrosia of yore Sweet and spellbinding And barbed at its core Taunted and haunted Bound by a contract And the roof came crashing down...

Take a breath Close your eyes Nebulas Blooming bright Alibis **** a star Pave the way Lay the tar Can't see Burning trees In the fields The battlefield Never leave When I die Orange skies Cut me loose Breathe anew Hide the weak For a week Mute the meek Tied my tongue Kiss the sun Reticent Money's spent No way out Turn around Scream aloud Dying proud Limitless Consciousness Endless pain Soaking wet ****** rain Cry alone But not today Ever feel that way?
