The weight of silence
Is invisible as gravity
For the ring in our ears
Is a quiet calamity
An unforeseen tragedy
When the apple drops
We seldom hear
In a simple mechanism
An echo of our fears
The cry of a tear
The strength in a cheer
A melody, haunting me
Haunting you
Haunting us
Is the ringing that occurs
With the melody stops...
Micheal lives in a cabin at a place I won’t disclose , surrounded by creatures who cannot blush or tell him lovely empties
He spends his day cutting wood into logs
Therapy
And plays poker at the whiskey manufacturer near his abode
A maybe less productive therapy
Nevertheless, Micheal loves his quaint little life, and has found immense, straightforward pleasure in the nature around him

I am praying for fire
Praying for fire
To burn branches of wilt
That suffocate my sight
Bury my own will
I’m praying for fire
To renew me once more
Gather shattered glass at my feet
Propel me off the floor
Open a new door
In not purpose, nor direction
Not ability, or perspective
But of flames to smother out
The unneeded conventions
The pretentious message
Of the human’s inventio...
Imagine gold that
Flowed like
Velvet
Melted-down, satin
Smooth-drip
Tune
Strung sing-song
Tethered along
Fabric of a resonant
Heaven sent
Envelope with
Writing that
Is tattered for
The paper bent.
What do we wish for?
A diamond-plated door
Porcelain in accessory
Marble on the floor?
Does it matter when
The path we walk
Carved itself
In how grass grows?
Does the richness of our l...
He barely spoke English
But he said the sky would fall today
Honeysickle dissmial
Sugar bullet pistol
Crystal candy missile
Grab our tissues
Ask if death would mean they’d miss you
Relish on the parlay
A total flush of face
With 5 joker wildcards
Played as an ace
When the things we create
Become scars on the face
Tell me if brimstone and ash
If fire is our fate...
On the flip side
I feel it being where it needs to be
It being heart,
Placement on the soul
When it aligns like stars do
Around the planet when it rolls
It being purpose
It being passion
It being clothes you wear
Not the style
But how they’ve fashioned
A studded belt looks good
It still shines fastened on the neck
But what we give value
Can choke us
withhold what’s next
So if I burn...
Hedonism
Pessimistic enjoyment of
Beautiful things to toy with
Warped ideals, bountiful appeals
To a great cause somewhere beyond
Somewhere entirely close
Rooted at the center
Gravity never bends to weather
Whether the weight is a feather
Better is on a jagged path
Worse is a flowered prance
One promising wilt
With a lack of water, change
One returning to dust
to promise it won’t stay th...
On the advent of a good ending
Vanquished threats pierced on stone
Shriveled fingers, broken bones
Plundered people robbed of gold
Warriors risen, poets wrote
With blotchy ink, tinted red
Stained with gold
When the story is written
When the questions answered
When the last step is taken
By the ballet dancer
The trumpet blared
The thunder screamed
You’ve achieved the key
Onto your dr...
The cricket hears when he chirps
At night
What the terrier hears in the morning
And the house cat at midday
The Nextdoor iguana asks
“How could he never love, his heart is so big!”turning a deep shade of purple-red
But the cat stays silent and it speaks volumes
So the pet goldfish blurbs a question too
Asking
“How could he never sing
His voice is velvet!”
But the energetic dog narrows h...
Is the string cut
Or just loose enough
To fly freely with wind
Wander to and fro
With the flow of the ocean
Passion of fire
Constant of earth
A jewel to admire
A fantastical poem?
Let me spin you a tale
Of a world everyday
That tells different tales
It promises sunsets with orange,
Glow and eminate from spirt
Blue, red, yellow purple
Can you now start to hear it?
Green, violet, seacrest...
