Flower bloom, Summer's end.
The past looms, no wounds mend.
Vicinal tomb. Please pretend
All is well, everything' fine,
And there is enough
Time is a flat circle,
Not a straight line...
Seasonal shift. Darkness find.
Self-cannibalistic, sequestered mind.
Life and death, nature's rhyme.
Final breath; peace from mind.

It lurks in corners
when I pass by,
slowly,slowly,crawling.

It waits for me
behind the door,
gently,gently,laughing.


It tumbles down
out of the sky,
softly,softly,falling.

It rises up
out of the floor,
whispering, whispering,

come to me.

Oh, shadow,shadow
on the wall,
don't swallow me.
one for hallowe'en.
from my collection "moments in time"  1987

China, India, and Baltimore
       me in Taipei, my cousin in Bangalore
                    could it possibly be?


                 that we've been here before?
16:15 express

The train goes on,
the steam whistle making
a sad song and every time
it's a new one,

in my dream

the trees still scream
and the mountains still fall
the rivers are dry, but the
train goes on.

Kafka Joint
My way is full of marbles,
That I lost at some point.

Me and you,
We are just like two empty deserts,
Only I'm the bigger one.

LEFT TO RIGHT       TOP TO BOTTOM
I.             Feel.            Sorrow.       And       Blame.

Live       Mundane,       Die           Insane.

Dumb    Head            To(o)          Lame   Truly.    ­              

And,      Too               Swelling.     I’m      Useless

Dull!       Insane.        Hollow:       My       Brain.
                                              
                                                       Blame.

A Tomcat and Queen fought over fiercely
Where to educate their brilliant kitty
They agreed upon two
CATS Boston and Purr-due
Thus avoiding a cat-astrophe
8/23/2019 - Poetry form: Limerick - "Tomcat" means an adult male cat that can still breed,and "Queen" means an adult female cat currently raising kittens or a soon-to-be-mother. Please note:  If you're wondering what allows me to put a little cat-spin on the spelling of "Purdue" and "catastrophe", that's what's referred to as poetic license.  I have one of those. :) - Copyright © Mark Toney | Year Posted 2019
