Defiance

Defiance

A brief blast of breeze

Crushes clay to dust

Daring Death to

Extend ennui

Forever

Love conquers all

vincit ominia veritas

Love shall set you free

veritas leberabit vos

….

diligo in ventate, set ad vincere capta corda

 Love in Truth, Conquer to set captive hearts free

Complacency

Complacency

The visual evidence does not lie

There is no weeping and wailing

Perhaps there may be heaving of sighs

Don’t come to me later with hands wringing

Bemoaning what would or could have been

Most trouble is tricky and cloyingly clinging

Solutions come quickly when you open your eyes

Time is rapidly passing

Maintaining illusions might win the prize

But lies come home a-winging

The row is hard to hoe

It often sets heads to ringing

Life

Life

Pretentious words with portentous meanings

Hurled through space

Repudiating what you hold dear

Stagnant vision clouds laggard minds

Invoking base responses that emolliate and percolate

Superior intellect forces quiet and calm

Emotional involvement would only concede the point

Conclusion comes with introspection over time

Modulation might be imperative

Necessity knows no measure

Struggle

Struggle

She walks on haughty airs that give us pause

Flesh and bone run though us all

And base desire is a worthy cause

For pride goeth before the fall

The time has come to gather up flowers

And watch for stars are falling

Comets have come to grander towers

The results can be appalling

The ocean cannot meet the sky

Though forever they are striving

For one must surely fall and die

While the other is uprising

Christmas Music In Other Words…

My Dad was an English teacher for nigh unto 35 years. He used to use many tricks to try the class involved and attentive. One that he pulled out around this time of year was a quiz called “Are our Auditory Perceptions Similar?” He would have a list of phrases and then the students would have to “translate” them.  Sounds similar in a lot of ways to hashtag wars to me! If I was using it like that I would call it #Christmasmusicinotherwords The first one BTW is “Do you hear what I hear?”

Apart

Apart

I tried to fall in love today

And went to give my heart away

But I found a note that read

You stole my heart I’ve taken yours in stead

I thought about it long and hard

Who could be such a callow card?

To take my heart with nary a word?

Not even by a look inferred

Only one name came to mind

The tangled knot, it did unwind

I followed the path where it did lead

To retrieve my heart with utmost speed

But when I reached to bring it back

You grabbed my hand for a change of tack

We fell in to soulful bliss

As we slowly began to kiss

Now I know I have no heart

It has always been apart

With my love it will stay

Until the night becomes the day

Cento Three: I Don't Know How to Love Him...

I would walk 500 miles

Hide your love away

I’ll give you shelter from the storm

I’ll do anything

Just to be where you are

When the time is right

Call me

No matter what

I’ll be there

I’ll be waiting

Fool that I am

Bubble

Bubble

Frozen moments in time

Reach liquid form combusting

They explode into the present

With scents and senses reeling

A thread is ripped from time and space

It pulls the pattern out of weave

The slightest breeze untangles it all

And forces us to believe

In higher powers that control our lives

In fates and presence foreboding

To doubt is to no longer be alive

The past is fast eroding
