Since time memorial man has feared,
time's own passage, since man appeared.
Man fears death, in any form.
Dark, hunger, a coming storm.
Man fears circumstance beyond control.
Fears it's loss, it's loss' toll.
What nightmares built, based on these fears,
to jolt and wake us, cause us tears.
But these we dismiss, explain away,
as humanity, but these hold no sway.
We convince ourselves, we make this truth.
And have always done so, since our youth.
So much so that it's now true.
Our fears aren't fears, and we know it too.
What strange thing then, that man fear love.
Light and free spirited, gift from above.
what strange irony that fears aren't fears,
but to fear this pain that oft' leads to tears.
It leads to joys as well, happiness unimaginable.
But we fear this "love" I think, and we always will.

Boredom is a random poem on a screen
or a strange new comment about a spleen
talk of penguins flying rockets,
or purple elephants filing dockets,
pictures of stick men cutting hair
or trains hurtling through the air
castles in clouds are much too common
crocs in neckties, through mud plodding
Thats more like it, don't you think?
I'm too bored... time for a drink.

Live Dreams

Time passes, as time does well.
And time, in it's end, all things will tell.
But till that end, when all is told,
in your mind, dreams build and hold.
For what is a life lived without dreaming,
or dreams, dreamt in life, without truly living.

Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation,
And the exponent of breath.

My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If immortality unveil
A third event to me.

So huge, so hopeless to conceive;
As these that twice befell
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.
