So SAD: Driftwood along the shores of Rubacava

[Darth Eggplant]

DANDELIONS DRAPE MY WORLD

 

Lonely petal in a World of grey

standing forlorn,

blowing on the brink of decay

one small white one

tinted yellow by the sun

such a strange exotic weed

you are not alone,

not the only one

for Dandelions

drape my World in dreams

the more they seep

the less they creep,

and the greyness empties

from all fields

 

So try to keep the World fresh,

so that little weeds may sprout

and be not the only one;

not the only white-yellow Dandelion

Dandelion,

Be a small Dandelion,

remember that with Dandelions

there is no such thing as one.

CONTEMPLATING CLOUDS IN AUTUMN

 

A cloud is a most beautiful sight,

it is soft and fluffy

and mostly white.

Clouds being majestic,

having grace,

they defy gravity;

and hang in space.

A cloud;

it is most versatile,

I look at them

and I do smile.

And think how beautiful

it would be,

to plant a cloud

just like a tree;

to have it here on Earth with me,

to cherish for eternity.

Yet as I sit here

gazing skyward I do bet,

a cloud up there

would want a pet;

a pet to be one of a kind,

the cloud would choose

one of Mankind.

One day a cloud will come,

to this World of men

Doomed to Die;

to take away a friend.

I will go with it,

Cloud and I will fly.

BLACKNESS NEEDY IN A WORLD OF WHITE

 

Black Blob stain

on the page of White

Black Bone words

all made to Sing,

all their lives

waiting for the moment

when the Black Ink sets me free.

 

Black Lace

clinging to a woman's thighs

Black silken skin

made to touch my desires

waiting for the moment

when the Black Lace is meant for me.

 

Black Death

streaming in the midst of Black Night

Isolation and Darkness

meant for me all my life

waiting for the moment

when the Black Angst releases me.

 

Black Sabbath,

all those Black Sundays;

Saturdays, Evenings,

Weekends and every Holiday.

Days and Nights waiting

for Jet Black Telephones

Black Words,

and Black Thoughts without you.

So distraught I am;

for in their contours

all I ever sought was You.

[Darth Eggplant]

RAINDROPS THOU ART MY SOUL

 

Tears of Mortality

from my eyes

from the sky

each one man made.

One from Love

the other from Dust

sometimes, actually,

because of Lust.

Eye drop

then Tear drop,

or Dew drop

a Human touch,

this Raindrop

from the sky

or a lake,

perhaps one of our

many mistakes.

A Tear from above

perhaps a Tear of Love;

a Raindrop,

soft and warm, never cold.

Raindrops like Tears;

Tears are always warm

never cold,

there are only drops of

Humanity in the Rain.

SHADOW REFLECTS SHADOW

 

For years I have found myself

beneath the Moons Shadow

reflecting blindly on it,

or shallowly

I have gazed upon those slender beams

trying to capture them for my Queen

the results have proven quite hollow

for surface Beauty may hypnotize

and I may Hope

sometimes I will Lie

but Life is a Game

the Dazzle of Her Eyes

chasing after her is to Dance

with a Moon Beam

in Sorrow

I can never make her mine.

SEEDS NOT WEEDS

 

Seed Sower

Plant your Seed in me

step aside,

watch it grow

grow in strength and power

but Be not powerful Yourself

Bloom and Spread forth Shoots

fragile growth with determination

spring into ripeness,

Harvest thy Crop

and waste it not on Yourself

or any man,

Scatter the Seeds of your Nature

to Other Fields

Sow Seeds Yourself

step aside new Sower;

watch them grow

watch others Recruited to the Garden

there can never be enough helpers

for the One Gardener:

Weeds are Everywhere.
