Great Heart (Poem)

If you help somebody

It’s an accident

Cause the world is bloody

Never learn from precedent

It pulses and beats

In hollers and heats

Life flows down streets

Aorta greets

Whatever passes ‘long

Takes it through

Circulation washes right or wrong

You were there just there

And so was the moment

Don’t you know where

You paid the rent

You want the credit

That you’re living on

Always try to edit

Just to get along

So what’s it now

When the coronary

Shows we’ve nothing to sow

Kills your last canary

It’s an accident

Yea, you helped somebody

To see the sense in spent

yea it was dirty bloody

Great heart

You

Yea

You

And

That’s a start

No Way To Last (Poem)

asf


Yea.

I’m constantly wired.

Yea.

I’m hardly tired.

Yea.

It’s hard to the nth degree.

Yea.

This stream so fierce so free.

Yea.

Watch it hurtle me.

Yea.

Blur is all I see.

Woah.

Electronic.

Woah.

Pornographic.

Woah.

Everywhere.

Woah.

At once here and there.

No.

There’s not time to flip the page.

No.

There’s no time to feel my age.

No.

There’s no time to kiss.

No.

There’s no love to miss.

Yea.

Love takes time and love takes distance.

Yea.

It’s not possible in an instance.

Yea.

Load me up.

Yea.

More espresso in the cup.

Yea.

Carry on!

Yea.

Past today till life is gone!

Woah.

The screens don’t slow.

Woah.

I’ve got to go.

Woah.

Watch the updates flow.

Woah.

All at once all in a row.

No.

No time to sing.

No.

No time to give a friend a ring.

No.

No little notes on her doorstep.

No.

No time to prep.

Yea.

It’s all at once.

Yea.

It’s all already here ya dunce.

Yea.

One exploding instance.

Yea.

Can’t tell it’s static when it’s moving fast.

Yea.

There’s no past.

Yea.

Don’t linger.

Yea.

This pace don’t make a singer.

Yea.

This is the way it’s gotta be.

Yea.

One direction that’s what I call free.

Yea.

Over the edge.

Yea.

Don’t compose an adage.

Yea.

Don’t compose at all.

Yea.

Just fall.

Yea.

Fall fast.

Yea.

There’s no way to last.

‘Daily’ Poem # 6 – Synesthesia

Full Circle | Leap & The Net Will Appear

There is a word that says all things of course

If you want to hear it you must learn to see

That see is waves and waves are sound and source

Such sight comes as pulses of  light’s subtle symmetry

If now is then instead of when here then is now

I think this maybe something approaching the Zen

Daily Poem # 4 – Fire and Seed

Image result for chair in an empty room

Empty smell

I sit among it

Wholesome well

Leaves are scattered lit

By sun holy sun wholly shining through a million cracks

There was once a water wheel

In this place by the rusted tracks

Fire and seed

They carried forth what survived of generations

Supplied each need

To those who through wit and luck kept their station

But here

In wholesome depths

Tears draw near

Fire rivers fanned by the empty smell

Sing songs of those who never had a chance to tell

Why do I sit here with the power to spell

When I disappear

Will I meet the million voices

Who dwell here

Amongst fates fickle choices
