Chime
Cyclical sensation of spinning in time
Year after year we yell with a chime
A countdown to toast a loop 'round the sun
Never quite knowing how many times it's been done
Let's make a new list of things to achieve
Goals that we all should hope to exceed
Let's become more lean, let's make more green
Let's even spend less time in front of a screen
So Happy New Years folks, here comes 2019

Dickens
Now ghosts coming for Christmas is a thing of the past.
But somehow, someway Dickens still lasts.
Halloween stole the tales of things that go boo.
But I'm here to tell you that's not always true.
Can you imagine as a child you're left Home Alone.
Or your son thinks he's an Elf but is fully grown.
These horrors still ring like a bell that gifts wings.
Some people even Die, as Hard as that seems.
Enjoy your own tradition on this 25th day.
For me it's a poem, so Merry Christmas I say.

Keister
The bunny hunt, an egg appears
I can wipe away my tears
Four years old and filled with strife
But now all is well within my life
I've found an egg, my victory is sure
Wait someone found two? My vision blurs
Tears again stream down my face
Frantic I search like I'm running a race
Behold another, and another still
Eggs of color, my basket does fill
Time is called, the counting done
I've won the hunt, I've won, I've WON!
I've kicked all my foes right in the keister
And to all of you I wish a Happy Easter

Undancing
Silent succulent silly mind
Running drops floating blind
Quill in hand print undefined
Debutant ball undancing we fall
Lost spatially gaps rewind

Horizon
And so it goes for yet to be
That all there is for us to see
Is but a figment of our mind
Warping space through referenced time
Stuck inside a universe
Collapsed into a state, what's worse
Shall I still try to find a way
Beyond the border where I stay
Pushed to edge, decided so
Forever I shall never know
Horizon limit stretched by time
In thy self the truth will find.

Others
Here's a story sad but true
Everyday I think of you
What I could have done or changed
Anyway the pieces could rearrange
Broken empty meaningless
False presented lifefullness
Want to end the misery
Then simply sing alone with me
Stab a knife into your eye
Jump off a building ten stories high
Slit your wrist inside your tub
Slash your throat, gross too much blood
OK let's try a different refrain
Like a needle in your vein
Or lots and lots of sleeping pills
Fall asleep til you're rigid steel
So why is it I don't take the plunge
Tie a noose, that won't come undone
Cause everyday I think of you
Of others who'd be saddened too
At least for a year or two
So meaningless continues today
For others peace of mind I stay

Park
Somehow reverse allotted time
Backward undo my own mind
Collapse construction framed again
Into the void my life begins
When in the space of matter dark
Welcome to the physics park

Crumb
Supper super soon
Drowning dreary dreams in June
Melted butter crumb

Moment
Paradox has come to be exposed
A choice unknown, internally hosed
Tail side flipped of a two headed coin
Backwards in time reversed that in twined
Can now there be a moment we see
Hope as an option arises with glee
Only from such a perilous edge
Motion forward drive like a wedge

Trill
Whisper softly little bird
Turn your head a quick
Fluttering a whistle word
A song sung to my back
For I listen
For I am
Stubborn in my way
Trill a tone
Repeatedly
Drive home the phrase you say

Devoid
Alright,
ok,
just another day
Passing by
Time sometimes
Becomes reminded
Of what's remaining
Nothing
Empty
Devoid
Life collapsed
Essence waning
Completely cyclical
Inundated

Revolution
A day that comes and goes by
Blinking with the close of the eye
End the end the year is done
Set behind whats next to come
Just another revolution
Arbitrary our evolution
What's the point of celebration
Happy New years our self infatuation

Vacuum
Fake presence always
Ever never show yourself
Swim through a vacuum

Gift
Give a gift to anyone
Share the moment together
For when this day has come and gone
What's left is but a treasure
Recalled to mind in retrospect
Relived through memories
Merry Christmas as the saying goes
To you and yours, from me

Rocketed
Sent it to the moon in March
Rockets busting out my heart
Flying free from flooding fame
Nowhere is the man to blame
What once is a shop of horror
My sad madness did explore
Calypso came collected claim
Falling further flushed the drain

Unsung
So what now is all that's left
What's to be is done
The will is gone through loss of fun
The rest is left unsung

One zero zero
One one one one zero one

Intrinsic
So with this I bid adieu
A happy place I'm going to
A place with flowers, fruit, and sun
Never ending tons of fun
While this place is only for me
Your one place you too can see
Imagine a world that's all for you
Where you go and what you do
Always makes for a smile or two
Then you too have found your home
The happy place inside your dome

Symmetry
So then again the time stood still
The battle frozen in my minds will
Collapsed upon a symmetry
Fractured upon reality
Here I win and you will lose
But in the end
Time doesn't move
