Unobscured Pureness

Death’s Spectre, I’ll Follow Not,
Thy Foul Shadow’s Jagged Course
–Through Mazed Theatres,
Wars of Past and of the Stark Future.
The Fevered Jingoism Never has Never had an Allure
Outright Rejected, a Corruptive Influence,
So Many a Warped Vision
May Fouling Stench of Rotting Flesh of the Fallen,
Besmirch Those Battlers Partaking of the Putrefactive Nectar
….Solitary Ambivalence,
A Nullifying Counterpoint to Your Angried Call To Arms
Let The Rhetoric Build, Deaf Ears Turned in Defference
I’ll Know No War

And So
The Conversations Wandered
Off to Places
Of Vast Glories and Beauties….
Seemingly with No End.
Wonders Beyond
the Limitations
Of Mortally Framed Imaginations
Along the Tattered Fringes
Of Stilled Perception..
All Remains Surrealistically Quiet

The Wretch (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Haiku 01212013
Cold Duplicity
Thievery in Disguises
Malfeasance in Wait
++++++++++
Cold Winds Brittle Times
Vagrant Dull Pained Existence
Not Sure Tomorrow
++++++++++
Leering Face of Times
Stark Barrenness Trademark Poor
No Place Left to Go
++++++++++
Turning Blind Eye forth
Only to Look Past
Desolation Wretch

Shema

English: Papyrus Nash, fragment of the Ten Commandments and the Shema Yisrael prayer, found 1930 in Egypt Česky: Papyrus Nash, fragment obsahující desatero a modlitbu Šema Jisrael, nalezen 1930 v Egyptě (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The First Paragraph of the Shema as written in a Torah scroll (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Shema
Frozen Ambivalance
Almost Intoxicated by Waves
of Indifference
A Complete Inability
to Ascertain
Truth from Lies,
Where Exaggerations Would
Reign Dominant
Slippery Slopes
Where Neither Footing
nor Gripping Possible
Trading Freely,
Equilibrium for Constant the State of Flux
At the Last Minute
Unforseen Opportunity
To finally Escape
the Clutches of
Blind Servitude
And Shadows of More Gods than Can be Named
That Seemed
to Always
Shadow from Childhood
Finally,
So Foreign
Complete Openness
Tasting for Once
The Sweet Freedom
Of
Independence

Colours Once My Scheme
Mixed Among Life’s Broadened Swirl
Open Eyes to Finish

Cosmic Messenger
Posted in Prose with tags Self Deception on January 11, 2013 by lengesinskiCosmic Messenger
And as We Spoke of an Angel’s Quest
With None But the Clouds Themselves
to Hold Back Lofty Intentions
It Was Asked
But Where The Heart?
Braveness of Intention Spoken with Words
that Seemed Once to Ring both Loud and True
It Was Asked
But Where Do Thy Intentions Truly Lie?
……Falling Back to Earth
Weighted Down By Pure Mortal Haughtiness
The Brightness of Sunlight Exposed the Waxed Wings to Light

The Emptied Tree
Posted in Abstract Poetry with tags Depression, nature, Seasonal Change, weather, Winter on January 7, 2013 by lengesinskiThe Emptied Tree
Time Escapes
Dulled Whimsies
are
All that Remain.
Lingerings of
Cold Sensation
But What is Left?
But For
a Plethora
Empty Platitudes
Left to Ring
…Ears to Mind
Gradually Built
Over Time
To become
a Frenzied Crescendo
Alas,
For the Rolling of Endless Skies
Of the
Longest
Grayed Season
Matching
Perfectly
A
Dearth of Empathy
