GOOD FRIDAY, 2019

2019

( … 18 … 17 … 16 … )

Hardly a cloud in the sky
No need for this jacket
I discover too late
Uncomfortably

A tiny discomfort
In the scheme of things
Dwarfed by Spring’s bounty
Overall not a bad day after all

A good day for a crucifixion
Despite all the discomfort
Faith, hope and patience
All’s well that ends well

After all

After all

Gambolling Gamblers

GAMBOLLING GAMBLERS

Life a deck of cards
Unsure no one marked the cards
We shuffle and deal

Shysters and diehards
Trampled, embittered and scarred
Still we share the meal

Misinterpretation

MISINTERPRETATION

We first met with right
As the opposite of wrong
Then met politics
With a right whose morals are
It’s all mine and might is right

The Whole Truth

THE WHOLE TRUTH

Stand shameless, erect
Lopsided, life without taint
Cherish each blemish

Seed words: “Blemish”, “Erect”, “Lopsided”.

It’s ages since I tried one of these. So much to do; so little time. Thank God for parallel universes. 🙂

Beyond Or Beware

BEYOND OR BEWARE

Transit of Venus
Prefigures a pentagram
Pointing to the stars
The morning … the evening
See time and space blown away

We’ve seen another
The pentagram bastardised
A dark inversion
Evokes demonic powers
Since all exists within us

Take The Devil Out Of Me

Learning To Let The Heart Bleed

LEARNING TO LET THE HEART BLEED

They say you’re at your biggest
When you apologise …
All I know:
I feel at my smallest.

You both have little lies to tell
So that it won’t seem so bad,
But you accept them
Because you’re so glad to have each other back.

“Learn to distinguish between good and evil,
But never have a bad thought about anyone.”

“Then how shall I accept the triumph of evil?”

“The same way you accept the triumph of good.”
