No, these aren't randomly created poems (that is another page). This is a random grab from a selection of poems, mostly by myself, but with some inclusions from other folks: friends who write; friends who used to write; writers who are obscure-but-meaningful-to-me; famous writers. One advantage of this format is that, when there are variations of a poem that I haven't settled upon, I can include them all and let people give me feedback as to what they think.
[early september of 87]
The eager pleasure of a fool...
Time spent living thusly,
Time wasted living thusly.
The Pool becomes stagnant. (Unnoticed)
Change,
Sudden
change
As Reality sprang forth
a slavering Beast pouncing;
The chill of my soul burning
(loss of control, a yearning)
While It feasted.
The feeling...
-Longing
-Sorrow
-Pain
The vacuous Abyss spins within me.
The Leaving was painless,
almost unnoticed
As a prescence departed
Time slipped by:
idle communication;
mild reproach;
politeness and pleasantries.
Reciprocal longing
Swings, a pendulum.
No other has quite taken
the place;
Not so for the Other,
I am but one of many
though mathematically
one can be omnipotent...
I relish these times
the flipside...
-Warmth
-Security
-Happy
But once more the pendulum swings.
An armoury of ice weapons
Has penetrated
MySelf.
The vacuous Abyss spins within me
And with no hope
I crumple in Darkness.
Yet
When all is Lost
A fire ignites;
Warm candlelight
Flows from
Her.
My heart afire,
-the ice melts
-the pendulum halts
-the Beast is thrown...
In a room full of fine crystal
Two are struck...
And ring true.
Perfect Harmony.
Distinct, yet
Indistinguishable from one another,
They are One...
