Memory’s Lapse

Humans come to the same revelations

Throughout generations

Across nations

Then timely forgetting

Consistently regretting

Their memory’s lapse

Melody Memory

Melody memory

Bring me home

Personal history’s

Tides and foam

In search of something

Long did I roam

Indivisible

But

Revisable

My Voice Is Weak Tonight

My voice is weak tonight

Burned by the sad black flame

I see attribution

Words I seek to blame

Its simply dissembling

The fire knows my name

Thunder

Let’s talk about thunder

The sound that it makes

Earth’s palpable fear

When the storm wakes

All living things pause

As the sky quakes

Achievements Paths

Achievement through force of will

Cannot chase away

Restless ghosts

But

Achievement through curiosity

Can make peace with them

What Is Regretted

What is regretted

Should be grasped

And forgotten

Good life is abetted

By short memory

Of mistakes begotten

Rumination

June Summer Night Sounds

Singing birds &

A musical ice cream truck

Sound like they’re conversing

On a warm summer night

Discussing the events of the day

Those Corporeal Blooded Beasts

This is for those corporeal blooded beasts

Carrying their consciousness

Like a badge

A scar

A curse

A revelation

Blinded

Sensorially
