She (The Ocean)
She
is the ocean
and I
but a drop of water
She lies
waiting
as I
fall from the mountaintop
rolling and
tumbling
along the rivers
ever
traveling
ever yearning
to be
part of Her
to add
my essence
to her whole
but
She is the Ocean
and I
a drop of water
my
importance is
small
an' yet
I travel on
till I
lie once again
cradled in
Her arms
for She
is the Ocean
and I
but a drop of water
Literature
how many ropes?
How many strings must you cut, how many ropes?
Until you come to understand they are umbilical connects
to the source puppet mother!
Marionette-Mary-Antoinette birth chamber
chains no guillotine can break
we can glean this fact
eternal slaves
no pardon, no escape
Parasites and tapeworms
wriggling and playing like broken records
follicles that just won’t stop growing when shredded
it’s a sad fact
not everybody gets out
serfs up guys
are we’re a society that’s caught a disease
the strings of slavery
the colonial ties
twisting inside the colon
left over heads of state
with a habit of continuing on
not quite friendly methods
To say other
would be outright lies…
Literature
Ta An Gra Athraithe, Ni Bhfuair Se Bas
We both killed so many beasts in each world, and we adorned
Our haven in their pelts-- a gut-filled romance
A sexuality built like a maze that has dead ends that are made out of
Saffron, lavender, serotonin, miles of silk, and vanquished eulogies
Two pillars breaching heaven
A handful of years floating in the ether
Not an iota of regret
Love didn't vanish; it altered
Resentment is scratching the glass gates,
But I will always drown out the sound with the
Memories that we've made
An epilogue drenched in heart-staggering mystery
A man's optimism punished again
A woman's third eye sliced by stagnant wind
For once, I want history to repeat itself
Literature
Between the Pen and Paper
A pen and paper
two common items in our world
but as one connects with the other
a conduit gets established for information
from the holder of the pen
into the fabric of the paper
like a brush stroke on reality
the incorporeal becomes tangible
and ideas appear like images
through a window
Whether used for elements in our everyday lives
or to depart into fantasy
the possibilities created by simple things
are among the greatest miracles
ever constructed
which have followed us
from antiquity
until
The feeling of yearning, the desire to be part of something more than self, such as a drop of water making its way down to the ocean
