Rosemary

Rosemary

What did you find

At the end of the sea

Was it the same

As the start

From whence we came

Destroy your heart

Rosemary

Rosemary

Drop a leaf

Change by degree

Seasons teeth

Masticate

Matters dull

Spirit liberate

From the lull

Rosemary

Rosemary

Awake by scent

By degree

The arrows bent

Forever be

My dancing blossom Rosemary

Delight’s thy bosom

Drain Nepenthe

To the source

Dregs to thee

Bitter sacred sweet set the course

For we’ve the dawn to meet

O Rose

O Rosa

O Rosa Marie

I get tired of explaining myself

To myself

By myself

In a neverending plot

Of funhouse mirrors

The you in me

Is I

You see

The more I try

To look outside

I observe myself walk by

There is nowhere to hide

From this mystery, this curse, called I

Reactionary (Poem)

Reacting

It’s because

God’s redacting

The impulses laws

The breathe of life

Can’t be seen

Neither willed with pentacle or even the knife

Search with your microscope for how all this has been

Seek with the telescope

Reach for the source

Till the point that straining breaks conscience rope

You’ll find the answer is to keep reacting…of course

The Importance of Setting Limits

So, I was just considering finishing a vlog and posting it. But, I realized it’s late and I have not been getting adequate rest. So, I asked myself: How good is this vlog going to be? Sure, I feel the creative juices surging RIGHT NOW but how much of that is fatigue induced illusion? I’ve already posted today and some distance and reflection would probably be a good idea…

Furthermore, don’t I know better? Haven’t I spent hours reading health blogs, books, and listening to podcasts about sleep?

Sure, there is that old writers trick of staying awake in order to slay inhibitions. But, as someone who also works a rather gruelling day job is that really wise?

And, finally I concluded. Hey, your goal is consistent content, consistent creative effort, and learning new things. That means you need to know when you have energy and when you have time. These things don’t very easily come to those who do things simply when inspiration strikes. Furthermore these things DEMAND sleep in order to be fully digested and utilized.

So, while there is the nagging desire to DO MORE RIGHT NOW to really MARATHON IT; there is also the sobering knowledge that doing more means you have to do it smarter.

I hope this helps folks with similar itches.

Funny Dreams

On By Alex V. WeirIn Alex Weir, Philosophy, Stories, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I really don’t recall the exact progression but it did feature an old flame. Someone who is very often forgotten behind a veil of things that actually matter. She’s a tall girl of my own blood. That is she is Slavic though there is some unfortunate Anglo-Celtic admixture. You must excuse me. I’ve grown a touch xenophobic with all the naked hatred of my kin alive in your Western media.

The purpose of this post is of course the escapism of dreams. So I should perhaps stray from the wearying prosaicness of bigotry.

We were in some hall. Which was very reminiscent of some old rail stations I had frequented as a boy. There was some commotion among familiar faces and much in the way of banter.

I approached a figure in riding attire. And immediately recognized her gangly frame and large liquid eyes. The autumnal hair and vacant expression is unmistakable.

I approached with a smirk, “Why are you dressed like a dyke?”

Funny how the flavor of the waking world works itself into more permanent realms…

Tragic Magic (Poem)

Sad magic children

Woven through time

Sad magic children

Carry a chorus a line

I’m alive right now

Right now I’m alive

Squeezing through Tapestries

Pinpoint arranged

Such subtle gravities

Surprised anything’s changed

There is only one chorus

There is only one line

One song about us

Simple divine

I’m alive

Right now I’m alive

Now is forever

Cause ever was nothing

Till it became something

A zero a one

The shift is electric

The magic is done

Now back to static

The program will forever run

As sad magic children

Woven through time

Carry a chorus a line

I’m alive right now

Right now I’m alive

Clever Dear (Poem)

On By Alex V. WeirIn Alex Weir, Philosophy, poems, The Fractal Journal, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Hyper | Johnny Marcondes

Drunken frutiflies dance in my wineglass

All through the night

I hear their souls pass

Like seconds to the right

Clockwise and clocwork

They pass down my gullet

Like dregs that rise

Downwards a bit like regret

But refreshments so crisp

Like grapes full of captured sun

I begin to lisp

All about the already run

Put black horses through their paces

Hourglasses with sand

Grain that traces

Glimmers of land

In the oasis

O

Abuzz are the contented

Till they go

To lands enchanted

To sing forever

Sing so clear

That they are silent

Clever dear

Yes,

Clever dear

Already (Poem)

Image result for fire unknown soldier

I’m ok

Already

There’s nothing to say

To be calm and steady

I’m ok

You cry

For one more day

To try

I’m ok

There’s nothing to it

Already

No working through it

It’s ready

I’m ok

Setting off

Where plans lay

You  cough

A cigarette ray

I’m ok

Already

Smoldering

Steady o so steady

Soldiering

I’m ok

Already

There’s rememberance in fire

All there…all steady…already

There’s nothing that’s dire
