Notes:

So, as the poet of these verses I explain.

Fragmentation as a Tool of Disruption.

The deliberate breaking of words—”Mor/tals,” “Ascen/d,” “Stagg/ering”—disorients the reader, forcing them to engage with each syllable as a unique unit of meaning. This mirrors the fragmented and often chaotic nature of existence. The form itself becomes a metaphor for the poem’s themes: ascent, disarray, and reconstruction.

Last thoughts:

This poem is an experiment in form, language, and thought, one that dares to fragment the familiar in order to reveal the sublime. It challenges the reader to navigate its dizzying orbits and, in doing so, find their own meaning within its fractured brilliance. Like the “Brilliant Sun” it evokes, it radiates energy and light, illuminating the beauty and complexity of human existence.

Brilliant Sun’s Lithium feels like a poem written at the intersection of time and space—where mortals touch the eternal.


Speak, The Trees

This park—so small—a world confined,
Its silence—like a thought enshrined.
Where others—roam in wider air,
Alone—I linger—everywhere.

The trees—they stoop—a whisper shy,
The paths—like veins—beneath the sky.
And yet—the hush—a greater hymn,
A space immense—though seeming dim.

A Broken Heart

By morning’s light, my heart did fall,
Escaping from a chest now hollow, small.
At noon, a songbird dared to sing,
“Too soon,” it whispered on fleeting wing.

By dusk, the moon hung pale and slight,
Perched above the fading light.
It was then I knew: love was done,
Its flame extinguished, its battle won.

Kisses faded, skin grew frail,
Eyes shed tears in a final wail.
One drop remained—a token of pain,
A shard of love’s enduring chain.

For love is thicker than memory’s thread,
Yet thinner than the words unsaid.
It roars louder than the ocean’s might,
And falters in the quiet night.

What treasure lies in love’s embrace,
If alive, a triumph, a sacred grace.
But if lost, oh, how it forgives,
And still, in shadows, softly lives.

The sunlit skies, they scream and cry,
Proclaiming: true love never dies.

ECHOES OF THE ETERNAL HORIZON

Oh, let the timeless sands of fate,
Beneath my feet, reverberate.
A pathway carved through cosmic tide,
To realms where dreams and shadows bide.

The sun bows low, the stars ignite,
An endless tapestry of night.
Through deserts vast and mountains high,
I ride the whispers of the sky.

My spirit bends, yet does not break,
The earth and heavens I forsake.
In search of truths that have no name,
I dance amidst the sacred flame.

Beneath the crimson, burning sea,
A voice calls out, it speaks to me:
“Beyond the veils of space and time,
The songs of ancient worlds still chime.”

And as the rhythm stirs my soul,
I feel the fragments become whole.
The past, the now, the yet-to-be,
Converge in one infinity.

Through shifting winds and waves of gold,
A story vast, yet still untold.
I am the seeker, bound yet free,
The echo of eternity.

The Triumph of Life

I wandered to the river’s edge,
Where the current sang to the stones,
And the earth hummed beneath my feet.
I sat in the company of reeds,
But my mind was heavy, my thoughts—mute.
The river beckoned, vast and deep,
And I answered with a leap!

Down I went, into the arms of water,
The chill! It struck me, bone and soul,
And I surged upward, shouting to the stars,
Once! Then twice! My cry rose clear,
For the river’s chill was fierce, and life—ferocious!
The cold, oh, how it gripped me! The cold!

Then to the city heights I ascended,
Sixteen stories of steel and sky,
My heart full of grief, my eyes to the abyss,
And the wind called my name.
I stood at the edge, a lone figure,
The world beneath me vast and still.
I hollered! I wept!
But the height, oh, the height—it stayed my fall,
For life, yes, life, refused to let me go.

High above, the wind whispered—high!

And now, though sorrow presses me close,
Though love has wounded my tender breast,
I stand as the earth stands—resilient, unyielding!
The river flows, the city soars,
And I, too, will sing my song.

Holler if I must! Cry if I must!
But my spirit will not falter—no, not I!
For life is vast, life is fierce,
Life is fine, oh, fine as the morning sun!

Life is mine! Life is thine!
Life is fine!

THE GREAT WHALE’S MOUTH OF COMMON SENSE

No, Phillip, I won’t be draped
in red-or-blue parade;

the screen hums like a hornet’s hive,
its truths all shadows made.
For though I vote with weary hands,
the echo’s just a hum—
a stage for all the masked demands,
where outcomes never come.

a-leaning on the edge of thought—
(flickering lights ignite)
the bulletins and breaking news
dissect the endless fight:
(ding! ping! buzz! spin!
hear the headlines bite.)
a-scrolling through the threadbare scroll
of digital daylight.

If suits and ties who forge the laws
were lashed to feel our ache—
if every keystroke drew the blood
their tweets and memos take—
perhaps the world would spin less mad,
its gears not fed on lies,
and every slogan’s hollow cry
be silenced by the skies!

Staring into pixelled truth,
I marvel at the maze—
a billion hearts, all shouting loud,
still wander in a daze!
(click! clack! doom! bloom!
chaos fills the gaze.)
the algorithms feed the fire,
each dawn another haze.

They call this age a gilded dream,
of freedom’s holy fight—
yet ask the soul, and it will scream
beneath the neon light.
The cause, my friend, was never ours,
though banners fill the air—
for those who preach, behind the glass,
don’t breathe the common care.

Someday, perhaps, this earth will spin
without its charlatans—
when Phillip, Sue, and every voice
reclaims their simple hands.
no screen, no flag, no polished creed
shall tether what we are:
a world unbound, its fractured hearts
set free beneath the stars.

The Book (Orgasm)

IT was the small Book clasped upon my knee—
The Testament, gleaming, pure as the Sea.
A purse of white patent, like the shoes I wore,
In stillness I sat, seeking something more.

With my clutch held gently, a model I’d be,
In reverence, praying, in hush, quietly.
When the preacher called forth, my heart did align,
As I clutched my purse close, in that moment divine.

A vision of beauty, like Colleen Corby,
In the pages of Seventeen, fashion’s story.
If I could but sit thus, with grace and with pride,
A thrill of delight through my Sunday dress glides.

My mother, she spoke of the “flowers” with glee,
As we wandered in Gulfport, just she and me.
The ruffles and gathers, like waves in the air,
In the mirror, I glimpsed froth, with innocent flair.


OBLIVION

Had I the Cloths of Heaven’s hue
A Tapestry of Gold and Blue
The Shadows deep and Dusk’s delight
The Whispers soft of Half-lit Night

I’d lay them gently upon your Feet
But Dreams are all I can bequeath
They stretch beneath your tender Tread
Beware — lest they too faintly shed.

A Part of Humanity

When love falters, let it rise—
a phoenix from the ashes of indifference,
winged with the breath of countless hearts.
May it weave a tapestry across the skies,
binding the torn edges of a fractured world.

If smiles should pave the streets of nations,
let them shine brighter than sunlit oceans,
granting passage to every soul—
fearless, unbroken, sovereign.

Let the earth become a hymn of oneness,
its verses sung by tongues diverse yet true,
a common melody spun from precious threads,
united in love’s immortal embrace.

See the mothers with their infants,
cradled beneath the canopy of hope.
Behold the fathers—pillars against despair,
and elders, the keepers of wisdom’s flame.
Together they stand,
their shadows merging into one vast humanity.

Oh, how magnificent life,
when borders fade like mist before the dawn!
What joy to cast aside the illusory lines
and clasp the hands of every stranger
as though they are kin.

To love is to stand atop the mountain of our being,
and shout against the winds of hate:
“No more! We are One! We are indivisible!”
It is to hear the echo of angels—
their voices weaving through the fabric of time.

Love and happiness are boundless rivers,
coursing through the valleys of our souls,
dissolving the rocks of division and strife.
What miracle to feel the warmth of the eternal,
to release the chains of anger and ascend!

Let us, the stewards of this fragile sphere,
carry the torch of love into every shadowed corner.
Let us sow the seeds of peace,
and reap the harvest of joy everlasting.
For in the dance of hearts united,
humanity finds its divine reflection.

Always Against Problems

SHE always lies
in early mornings
to save my feelings

bring me your lips
and don’t forget
your high thoughts

i’m kind -the kind
who some hate
with loving hearts

She holds me against
her problems
i tried / but she died

Hmm…i love the thought
of loving her but she hates
herself so much

She only lies to save my
feelings / i cry \ in spite
to say there’s reasons

i never wanted her to die.
