Shed your Chrysalis and fly...

These are the ones where I finally started to get my feet wet. I was slowly getting more comfortable with the format, while also chafing against its restrictions. I started playing with the rules, after all what good are rules if you never break them? Like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, I was finally taking a step toward maturity

Enjoy the next 20...with plenty more to come

To be a Butterfly must feel like a miracle

Crazy Democracy

What’s democracy?

Majority tyranny

All hypocrisy

Nightmares and Daydreams

Sweet Insomnia;

A good old fashioned nightmare-

Kept at bay tonight

 Around the World

Been around the world

From west to east and north to south

But never to me

Honky Tonk of Fools

Drink away sorrow, 

and nurse all your fears, 

in a Honky-Tonk of fools.

Snowflake
Flutter down gently,
in your majestic glory,
oh special snowflake

   Black Hole

Darkness before dawn?
Falling into the black hole?
Can't distinguish yet.

  Waste of Time

Time forks countlessly

Creating untold futures

For mankind to waste

  Wave Goodbye

Look up in the sky,

As I fly through the dark night

And please wave goodbye

Night Time

Always open your eyes;

Close them, and here comes the night

Like a silent thief

Darkness Falls

To know true darkness,

Is to love the welcome dawn

And fear night’s great fall

Rainbow of Life

Dream in Black and White

Live life in Technicolor

Perish in Sepia

Fireflies (5 5 5)

In time and in tide,

The Firefly sleeps;

Rainfall fills her dreams

To Dream a Dream

Dream a quiet Dream

Sleep the sleep of the undead

Live a life of youth

Invictus (5 7 5 7)

Though the night be black

And nightmares visit my dreams

I will not despair

My fate is but mine to write

  Evening Days

Day was a bright dream
that evening has wound around
with deep blue paper

Chrysalis

In real life and dreams

Shed your chrysalis and fly

Depart the cold earth

Tyger, Tyger

Darkness burning bright

Much too dark to hide the truth

Of our wretched eyes

Ambience

Wolves howl in the night

A stray dog bays at the moon

Hear the wind’s whisper

Whisper of the moon part 1

On a cloudless night

The moon whispers silently

Of places unknown 

    Whisper of the moon part 2

The moon’s quiet whisper

A tale of life, love, loss, and

Humanity’s fate 

 Whisper of the moon part 3

The cold moon’s whispers

Unravel their mystery

Impermanently

Rainbow of life is the only one I really like, the rest are all tired and overwrought. I blame winter blues.


Yours
