Seek facts and eloquence
Insults and the profane
Only contribute to
The chaos and insane

Narcissistic mother

Narcissistic mother
Does the devil reside
In your offspring and in
My own poetic pride

Does introspection and
Self-analysis mean
I am like my mother
Beware the mirror gene

Is there nothing left but

Is there nothing left but
Times to commemorate
No foot in the dance to
Exalt and celebrate

Trying to bury hearts
With flowers and no thorns
Weigh facts without judgement
This hung jury still mourns

All for god family

All for god family
The perfection and smile
No sign or mention of
A supposed wrong-turn mile

Stomping on lumpy rugs
Always a slant on slights
Lying that love is blind
So don't turn on the lights

Without the eternal

Without the eternal
Life is without meaning
Rising, standing, walking
Then falling from leaning

The imaginary
Brings some comfort and peace
Unproven illusions
That our time will not cease

Searching for Life's lessons

Searching for Life's lessons
To comprehend or reach
Among the dead light bulbs
I long to find my Nietzsch

At times there's more than a
Solitary answer
Perhaps offspring of a
Superman and dancer

The extraordinary

The extraordinary
Like a butterfly wing
A beautiful design
On a transient thing

Basking in the moment
And not grasping for straws
DNA composure
Born into nature's laws

Mountain meeting mountain

Mountain meeting mountain
Why can't we meet like seas
Two incongruent paths
Find fluidity ease

Shrugged shoulders and crossed arms
No gain or surrender
No future to be had
When all is remember

Just one more syllable

Just one more syllable
Allow me if you please
Like ending a sentence
And letting loose a sneeze

Defy the forty-eight
Besides the rules are mine
And so the exception
This poem has forty-nine
