The In Outside

Now, open the door 
And step on through  
Into my suite of rooms.
And so very sweet 
My rooms can be...

Door, closet, cupboard:
Here, where most of 
What you're able to 
See, carries 'pon
Its crosshatched back
A silent sliding metaphor
Of a well masked majick door.
Then, with a stride both 
Noble and high-blood 
Dignified, you approach 
An Aeon in a gown.

And I may hide a prize in 
Disguise: an eldritch gate
To the beating black meat 
That is the heart of our 
Common cold and callous 
Eternity.
An eternity, not 
Of words, but just an 
Amorphous cloud of
Random 
Scattered 
Glyphs...

Query The Captain

When 'round a sphere
You go, how much trust 
Can you abide
When you're out of sight 
Of the other side?
Does direction draw
You on, your path dictate,
Whether true or dire
Mistake?
Have you chosen well 
Through navigation or lost
Your path through lack
Of foresight, skill or
Mayhap a faceless,
Fey, feckless or
Merely malign Fate?

The End Begins

Carouse in chaos!
It's so much more fun
Than Universal 
Laws or rules allow 
Matter to behave.
Seek your fulfillment 
In the random joy
Found by every
Single girl and boy 
Every day they
Remember to live,
Not as hoarders of 
Their supply of love,
But may they instead
Sow whole fields with seeds
Of the compassion 
Our withered world needs.

In Passing

How long is an æon?
How many eras in an inch?
Where to find Sir Theron, 
Whose mother was a bitch?

Walk wet shifting shores
One foot entropic, one not
The sea's swells betray

Evening Stroll

Late night walk
Wearing shades.
My route penetrates
The perimeter
Of a spectral landscape.

Seeing through my glasses
Darkly, a vision filled with
The glow of unnumbered,
Unknown souls
Which resolve with decreasing
Distance into hundreds of
Candles in their
Protective lanterns
Flickering
In a
Graveyard.

Though in a far-northern land
My mind fills
With images of Mexico's
Day of the Dead.

Only here there are no
Dancing skeletal
Marionettes or
Fragrant candy skulls.

Nice elephant soap 
Moonlight blue cools all it sees 
Trade winds bring seasons
