I walk out to sea
the wind is cold and harsh now
in the morning spring
the vapor of mermaid tears
awaken within me fears.

a bit
A listless expression hangs upon my face,
I feel nothing, my fingers dance in
the void. Why am I this way?
am I not real, is that the rhyme
and reason for why I feel
so cut and dry?
or
am I trying to hide something
from myself?
War zone
There is no escape from this mess of decay and fire,
the war zone has stretched its boundaries,
and the sky grows angry and red as the sun begins to fall,
and all the children sit and stare and pray with silent eyes that heed no one.
a trap of this worlds greed was devised ages ago,
when first heart did turn in spite of his neighbor,
the red flag was there but was never heeded,
and so a seed was sown and from it sprung,
all the hate and discontent within our fading hearts.
Memories and poetic bits
I still remember all the good times,
all the laughter,
love,
and the pain of thorns.
I remember it all,
pictures vividly dancing round.
I saw the tears stream from your eyes,
and watched them collect the light.
I watched Beauty sprout from sorrow,
and I saw the agony within the mind
of one as fierce, and captivating as the wolves we both emulated.
Alphas,
we ruled the pack,
how I do remember our analogies so well,
yet in the end It was not the unruly Beta that disbanded us,
twas us dear,
twas us,
we were are own demise,
our own ruin.
And now we step back and see,
our kingdom lost to us forever,
a new road approaching,
one goes left,
the other right,
separate paths for separate lives.
Though meet again we shall,
since all roads meet eventually.

Week 8 Reverie
“The weight of evidence now implies that it is the brain, rather than some non-physical stuff, that feels, thinks, and decides. That means that there is no soul to fall in love.”
~Churchland
Heart, Mind, and Soul
Synapsys fire,
and blood boils up
through my vains,
upward, and outward
from my heart on out to
that grey mass within my cranium.
Yes the grey-mass which
fits snug with in my Cranium,
(causing so much fuss and what not up there)
that is the only reason that I could
ever have truly loved you.
Yes,
you with the brow ridge,
you with the lederhosen lineage,
you who thought it was wise
to put a crow in my bathroom.
why my mind saw it fit?
well,
maybe it’s because there are
no souls now.
A soul might have,
However,
explained the ignorance of the brain
to realize when it has been had,
maybe my figurative soul would
have been the blame, for such
a lame brain, but
allase,
No.
Now there is research as to why!
my love for such a dullard
could now be blamed on many aspects of my brain
from the perception of pheromones
(I’m not known for my keen nose)
or from faulty wiring upstairs
(I told the cable man to fix that,
does he listen?
No!)
So there you see,
that was why,
All faulty circuitry
(and perhaps a head-cold on top of that)
was to blame for love,
and you with your silly
notion of “soul mates”
Hah! there is no soul,
only grey matter,
blood,
and self-awareness,
though sometimes
the grey one
is not wise,
and makes me do
some stupid things.
At least I do not have a soul,
so one thing you said in the end
was probably the most intelligent
that you ever said.

What? The End
When in the outside world,
all seems to be crumbling,
all seems to be at an end,
what shall we consider the cause?
Is it the workings of
our politicians, bringing
our spirits to a lowly state,
or is the root to ruin found
in our past, in the foundation
of our country as it stands.
So many questions,
so many answers,
all right
in their own right.
Nuro Reverie #2
The anatomists and pathologists wage an interdisciplinary battle,
Their argument: Nuropsycology.
Integrated studies,
a brain surgery into Vogts, Lenin, Forel, and Ferdinand.
The analysis; positive eugenics.
The Vogts!
The Vogts themselves turned,
successor of the institute:
sterilization,
incarceration,
and murder
of habitual “criminal”
the feeble minded,
and the mentally ill.
——–
I wish to be free
unconfined by the limitations set before me,
Imposed upon me.
I am no romantic, but my heart
bleeds all the same, and the multitude
of grievous thoughts that circle
round this head of mine
would make hades blush.
I’m only a “product of my time”
like I’m some “limited edition”
peice of mass produced bull-shit
rather then that of a human being.
The flavor of such notation,
the countless labels:
Feeble minded,
Crazy,
ADD,
Depression,
the list,
the list goes on!
and still “mad”
am I, the one who
takes on the labels
the one who deals with
the stigmata,
I am the crazy one?
