Ocho the Owl
She is my helen of troy
I fall to the dirt
To thank the gods

Perseus turns green with envy
Hades scouls heinously
Jupiter & Posiden both conspire meticulously

Yours truly just maintains a grin that extends from ear to ear

Ocho the Owl
So sullen
Sick and starved to take flight
He leaped off the tallest building he could find

As he leaped
He wore wry smile....
And not much of anything else...
..........
PLOP!

Do you know
what its like to wake up

next to a
glowing creature

who adored you
With all
her heart?

I do

Ocho the Owl
So sudden
Unbridled...she arrived and nestled
next to my shivering arms

Those arms
which were empty for eternities

Now have purpose again...

Dwindling; your minutes
Trickling; your time
Aging; you are always
Sitting idle; is a crime

This gravestone is a wakeup call
To all of those who breathe
Take advantage of your time here
because before you know it, it's by your time to leave....

Ocho the Owl
So sullen
Sick and starved for love
He danced and danced and danced
Until his skinny legs could move no longer...

Move no longer....

He collapsed on the dance floor...
Glistening in glorious sweat...

Gargantuan as a sequoia

Ocho the Owl
So sullen
Sick and starved for genius
He pushed harder than anyone has ever pushed before
Day and night
Night and day

The gods be ******...
No one can stop him...
 Jul 2014
Ocho the Owl
So sullen
Sick and starved for hope
He flung the weight of the world
That he carried on his shoulders
Into the abyss...

Into the abyss...

His eyes now glisten brighter than ever...

A  new light shines
on the putrid
Former chapter of
my life

ahead
are
greener pastures

I continue
my journey
with head held high
and heart kept warm

again....

Ocho the Owl
So many slithering sunrises
came and went

A countless number of curses
Emerged from my tongue

and now?

on this day....

the sun glistens brighters than ever....

Ocho the Owl
Where do flowers get their names from?
Am I going to die of old age?
What was dr. seuss really like?
Why can't farting be outlawed?
Are walmart shoppers really aliens in poorly fabricated disguises?
What happens when we finally use all of the planets resources?
Why can we only see a certain number of colors from our eyes?
Why can't we invent a flying car that can take us to the furthest reaches of space?
What do aliens think of us....really?
Is the reason we humans are such ******* to each other due to our overly developed brains?
Why does music **** more and more as time progresses?
Are there really ant people living underneath the surface of our planet?
Are some people born atheists, or are they made that way?

First, spring arrives
its leaves and grasses
meet fingers and toes with much glee and
anticipation

Then summer makes its appearance
who can ignore its boisterous
and sweltering presence?

Fall sneaks in
and subtly makes itself
right at home while we dance and sing

Then winter comes down on us
like a sledgehammer

How many times have these four come and gone?
How many will I see?

*The four continue forever into eternity...

Every once in a while
The gods will have pity
and grant you a single opportunity

One chance for redemption

Don't squander it
It may not come again for some time

If you happen to be
one of these fortunate souls

I salute you
and beg you...
Grab it
and never let go
