Poetry for the sun unfinished

No Other Way

Rotting tree stump
Rotting for a 100 years
still there still rotting
with pride
cut down trying
Frantic cities
civilians dancing with perl
grinding to an end
always trying
ashes smoldering
cinder burnt to nothing
sparks are fleeting
seeking out
burning and trying
a wounded soldier
clings to life
crawling in dirt
better above it
than beneath it
no other way
but this


Omelet

Fragile egg failing from a moist palm
heading towards the earth
at a great speed
cant be caught
fate is hopeless
shell will shatter
yoke will be ejected
there are 11 others
waiting to be fried

Oozing Gore

oozing gore
pulled by gravity
into the crevices
the earths size holds it close
wont let it go
keeps it from floating away
oozing gore
gross and nasty
mother earth
cradles it like a baby.


Magnets

Why would anyone want something gross and nasty?
Why would anyone never want to be caught?
Why fuel the fire?
Magnets pull pieces together, and glue hold for awhile.

Long distance relationships

The distance between the earth and moon is far.
The distance from the front door to the car is far.
The distance from a nervous hand to a phone is far.
The distance between love and rejection is near.
The short journey is worth the fear.

Long distance runner meets the sun

run you scared little fuck
run to the end of the fucking world
jump off the the edge and drift into space
drifting without control pulled by this and that
until you are pulled into the orbit of a glorious sun
to be held in its warm life sustaining orbit forever
there was nothing to be scared of to begin with.
You scared little fuck!

Locked in orbit, yet drifting still

Lost with no way home
no home to find your way back too
mind wondering always unfocused
moving from one thing to the next
never on one thought to long
cant find the anchor that was thrown away long ago.
Endless movement never ceasing
ballet of angels and demons
colliding silently and gently

Eyes unhinged

Shifting from left to right
up and down and all around
a gaze that never locks onto another
staring all over never at another s
don't look into anybodies eyes
don't look into there mind
don't look
don't see
stay blind
deny beauty

Wonderment

curious wonders pass by
never hold them for to long
slight urge to follow them
curious to see what they maybe
if I follow them they may follow me.
Wonderment is it worth the risk?
