Missy Aggravation IV

January 04th, 2009 | Category: Poem

Splashing in the fountain
Rinsing away perspiration
Water from our private mountain
Missy Aggravation

Holding hands in the dark
The warmest affiliation
Walking slowly to the park
Missy Aggravation

Decays for days
All of her own radiation
She’s in all my plays
Missy Aggravation

Heavens cast a purple glow
She’s divine illumination
I watch her dance to and fro
Missy Aggravation

There she was in the snow
Preternatural realization
I stopped cold too watch her go
Missy Aggravation

Everything and Nothing

January 04th, 2009 | Category: Poem

Feelings of joy follow closely behind the King
Never at his side but several paces back
In reach but never in his grasp
What must it be like to have everything and nothing?
One knows and knows when to pretend
It is all beginning but also at an end

Swim currently strong and let go
Don’t hold on for long
Not yours to grasp it’s in the past
What must it be like to let go when you want to hold on?
One sees and knows when not to
It seems so far but it’s also close to you

Offered what was his alone
Broken on the offering stone
Held his hand against some will
Dropped the blade before the kill
What must it be like to kill when you want life?
Talked it down and walked it off
Had it all and had enough

Rammed his way past that day
Survival poured from the cloud
All was quiet and then got loud
What must it be like to hear when there is no sound?
All seemed lost
And then was found

Nimrod’s son called that great day
Another solar agitate
It all came fast and tried to sway
What must it be like to go when you want to stay?
It died inside slowly at first
It all got quiet before it burst
