Random Arbitrary Chance Encounters ~ Saturday, August 15, 2026

Come together to flow into one stream
orbit each other over time to face
no uncertain future, the die is cast
flow together, as one river, this dream
left over, a lotus flower blossom
under the water, the roots, full of grace
emptiness as each seed opens the past
noble the path of wisdom leads to truth
come together to overcome the womb
egotistical desire to live

Once again, step into the river twice
never the same, without steps to forgive
common practice as to release the dice
empty-handed by chance, what are words worth

Ideology and Strife ~ Sunday, March 30, 2025

History better served with just deserts Honor, not worth a fiver to a thief ignorance thrives when hubris seeks fresh blood solemn with grandeur and pomposity tranquil as rivers run crimson in grief obsequious attention washes hands righteous, the faith of wet nurses who brood yolkless eggs, white as veneers, no pity burns with ashes cast to the wind, snow blind eagles observe winter year round, the sands temporarily stop, grains cease to fall temporality, a pendulum swings eternity, like honor, words thieves call religion, the sacrifice money brings shiftless, automatic actions soon bind eager beavers to build and spread good news rivers change ideas, flux, all movement flows vision envisions a kaleidoscope enter luxury in light, none refuse delicious splendor and magnificence wicked charity, dear, candle flame blows incestuous riots, eyes cannot cope troubled sight cites desert blindness, the cause hopeless without beauty, such opulence justifies disparity, the...

Report from the Besieged City ~ Friday, December 26, 2025

Nothing Changes ~ Saturday, December 27, 2025

Thought this would be for the rest of our lives The potential for excitement, long gone how naive to believe that this could last only time would tell of work and effort under a spell, false hope, now mow the lawn green grass freshly cut smells of violence how the world moves on, values of the past thrown away in the rubbish bin, old sport time to abort the project, late bloomer how fear of addiction made the most sense if the fear of poverty were stronger stronger still the desire to love, now dead witness the world in flux, now, no longer old school values, but now, the price of bread under the bus, thrown for a loop, rumor leaves no innuendo, out the window decisions made, lives lived, over and out bittersweet dark chocolate, swallow the pill emerge from a hermit crab shell, the glow foreign as happiness, joy lost, the cost only one soul, a laugh, a joke, why pout rich as a billionaire, but how to fill the gas tank, privilege learns, entitlement holds the keys...
