Conquer Myself

A trailhead waits in the moonlight there
as I race down a highway to escape my despair.
I go onward and forward and faster towards
the mountains that will bring me unseen rewards.

The forest glows by the light of the moon,
And an eerie presence prevails as I arrive too soon.
for the journey is what this place is about
the journey to myself where […]

Club

Pounding thing,
Artificial thump they call music
Is a beast and a noise
An aural irritant
Blithely it grates at my being

Some are inspired to move
None have their mind provoked

It isn’t art
It’s just a commercial
It pushes no boundaries
Supplanting the mediocrity
With the mediocre

It disgusts […]

Escape from Choice

Life’s changes come
expected or not
Sometimes we’re prepared
Sometimes we’re in a state of blissful ignorance
Or wistfully ignoring
the inevitable path our actions have led us to.

I fear not the coming end.
The escape from complexity
to clarity
or nothingnesss

Either is the greener grass on the other side

Uncontrolled

There is this agony inside that uncontrols me,
usurps my will for rational,
usurps my temporal being.
It uncontrols me, without revealing itself
to that being uncontrolled;
it hides itself
from me

it is me

it’s obvious to those around me
but only the closest;
only the few who can be hurt

Shadow and Light

Fearless promises for what would come,
who is amused, if not me?
Past debris, ashes, complete;
feel the course of
constant pounding nature,
the knowledge, the inner tumult
tangled,
leaping out without outlasting
it’s own evanescence.

Its own demise.

Before, there was more than I.
It was just this scene, […]

Haiku 2 – April 13, 2009

rise sun bring new day
woken but not awakened
when true wisdom comes

Haiku 1 – April 13, 2009

glowing orange clouds
morning light sets all aglow
sun brings wakefulness

Haiku 1 – April 11, 2009

roll the miles away
two-wheeled freedom enriches
pedal, pedal on

Imagine I’m Believing

I didn’t feign presence, but tore it out.
This doubt, a dubious crutch
supporting an unscrupulous habit
there is no other excuse
nor meaning.

Not a dream though dreaming
a momentary escape
from the tangible woes
I have enthroned.

My conscience confides,
but cannot hide;
I take the lessons with […]

Another Day

And so passes another day
the routine ingrained
like the predictability of ocean’s tides,
or repeated rising of resplendent sun.
I trudge wearily on and on.

Have I forgotten how to strive?
Lost the will to survive?
In this existence tarry onward,
as an instinctive insect plying
I move and act […]
