say what you want
want more than your share
share what you can
can you spare some change
change your mind
mind your manners
manners are character
character defines life
life is the all
all or nothing
nothing happens without faith
faith in yourself will guide you
you have nothing to fear
fear only your fantasies
fantasies create great art
art is the blood of spirit
spirit will guide your journey
journey to all you desire
desire will fire your destiny
destiny is not final
final is just a place
place your hands together
together we make our way
way not your fortune
fortune is in your eyes
eyes see the truth
truth sees the way

the mystical mythologies and cantankerous denizens
who color our worlds of chance and charm and breed the sinewy
allure of destinies and courses filled with adroit
memories and admonishments and forgiveness
replete with repentance and giving away of
fortune, fame, youth, and all endeavors of heart and mind
wherein we dwell as toilers of charity with humanities
highest escalations of power, meaning and forthright
values that permeate the ever present alacrity or miasma
that all existences are mere proclivities of the stars long
passed and the hallowed secrets of scrolls and spirit
that weaves the corset strapping all of humanity to
the lustrous, industrious penchant of a secretive smile
from the muse or satyr that has encased, enchanted and
left you no escape from your destiny... thankfully

her arms placed wide were met
by
a
firm
slow
embrace
her head rested quietly at peace on
his
shoulder
sore
from
relenting
defense
eyes closed she drifted into a quiet
place
free
from
all
fear
and
care
they clung to each other like dew to a petal
quietly
still
unmoved
alone
together
his war was now over her loneliness
filled
calmly
with
the
joy
of
eternity

eliminate and profligate your endless sorrows
tedious trepidations reservoirs of hence and morrow
effortlessly esteemed and steeped in splendor
wrought free from inclinations what you render

passions aflame the minds needs and ignore
what stiffens and loosens your need to explore
delve swiftly aghast in times to forget
appease and set forth long after needs met

epiphany drones on with a deluge
more information you need or can use
step lively and stern of face and of mind
in justice and peace relevance you will find

a simple night passed
and blessed all in attendance
they cheered and held close
their convictions and salutations
uplifting engaged and full of
recompense, in fact, plain
as the day they strolled amongst
the fern covered marsh
unto they found the righteous
and past amongst them all
tributes and forbearance
for it was known and congruent
to the assembled enshrined
and evermore awaiting the
glorious eruption of the new beginning
that ****** upon them a flight
of genius the world had never
known to or from all time.

placate yourself all you want
want what is coming to you
you needn't keep staring at the wall
wall yourself against injury and blight
blight can rob a quiet soul
soul is where you think you are
are you done with all that flattery
flattery could get you everywhere
everywhere you go seems to be home
home away from home is good
good riddance and don't come back
back and forth without a single care
care to follow up on your promise
promise everything and fill many
many days will transpire effortlessly
effortlessly you will find your way
way down among the dark is light
light your way to where you want
want what is coming to you

measure and jesture
your upcoming triumph
but keep closed your
fallen rocks and passions
casting so wide and
discordant that makes
galaxies small and
meaninglessness so strong
along the lumbering path stop and realize
the mix and measure is
so slowly turning
writhing in long vacant moments
why do we stand while our thoughts collapse
into our firm fixed places
that mystery and magic
just lie about like fallen leaves
blown free from the grip of eternity....
