Speculative thoughts and pointless questions?

What is a Word
floating in a void,
or a sentence
devoid of meaning,
but suspended gibberish,
which for eternity
is changing?

Is it like seeing
without sight,
or watching
without peeking,
or is it the paucity
of cool light,
lurking in the shadows
of a brave awakening?

Blended themes 
and minced fears,
can make such things
seem much more clear.
But who is keeping
an eye on these dreams
that boldly appear
through a crackling stream?

Recipe of Binaries

The maladies 
of nostalgia - 
sweet strawberries 
and red cherry pies.
Before words
and after prayers,
broken rhymes about
how no one cares.
Will the metal melt
as the machines break,
what humans felt
was just give and take?
Watered melancholia 
poured over social media,
baked epiphanies stirred
with tyrannical pop-trivia?

Hand-carved Shells and Fashion Bombs

The plight 
of the sleeping Djin
was abandoned 
by wonder.

The polished
floor glittered sweet
with scarlet drops
of liquid rose.

If the skies 
had opened 
just a little bit wider 
the ships 
would have fallen
from side to side.

But in the down time
of this open kitsch
one could hear 
ancient feet
clap across the bridge.

Morning song

Around the bend
a songbird sings
and the pigeons
grumble low...
while a hollow stick
with a lighted wick
smokes early
in the 
morning glow.

A silent man
begins to speak
his yellow hands 
tremble...
Beggars assemble
and start to sweep...
(a black hole 
had leaked
and left a streak)
while a burning star
just grumbled.

A grunting sound
begins to peak
and a few doorbells
seemed to freak...
The little babies
who were dreaming deep
began to cry and shriek.

Vapor
from the teacup
rose inside the cusp
around a little blizzard
that shouted at the wizard....

Pleased with
it's self
the colored
sparrow fled
into the blue skies
splattered with
new clouds...
And all was well,
so simple and proud.

The Cobbler from Tehran


Those two
were too
fair to
play at
the fair,
but the pair
knew this
was all new
as they made light
of the light bulbs
that bore through
their boredom
when they
were there
as their kingdom
was cobbled
by the cobbler
from Tehran.
