Unknowable(00076)

My life is without validation;
spiraling into the void.

Seeking meaning is pointless;
can’t answer questions.

Talking is a waste of time;
repeating the unknowable.

The future is slipping away;
the past is a flickering light.

Responsive soul(00075)
The universe negates the passage of time and bitter pills of a life that are both dull and sharp quicken the souls response to external stimuli resulting in a dead response to the impulse that sustain existence.

Recovery(00074)
The mind begins to clear the webs of a troubled life
and regains lost segments of the memory chain.
In small steps the thought tunnels clear the sediment
from the constricted passageways of a life on hold.

Shock treatment (00073)
Delirium and clouded vision in the mind of a lost soul.
Vacant eyes that that hide deep and dark memories.
Speech patterns muted by interrupted neural pathways.

Ideas (00072)
Big ideas and extended verbiage;
too many words spoil the brew.
Copyright 2009 © Ronald D. Isom, Sr.

Joy(00071)
I perceive the abundant joy of pens and ink
opening seven doors and windows upon the brink.

Sky(00070)
Gargoyles and banana skins above the sky
drooping like shades with friezes of pain.

Mania(00069)
Mixed messages flood the beleaguered soul,
aberrant thoughts invade the minds pathway.
Hideous screams emanate from deep within,
this strange illness is without good reason.

Careening (00066)
Careening through existence with limited vision,
the soul’s essence is condensed into a cloud
of what was and what will never be.

Mysterious quality of enchantment (00065)
Eyes jump in pursuit of visions,
glowing orbs of plasma spew forth
releasing hordes of neural panic,
spilling colors and exotic shapes.

Stupidity in verse (00064)
Heat filled rocks and old socks,
green garbage cans and fans.

Gooey marbles and tanks,
wondrous old stinky banks.

Clammy jars filled with fruits,
aliens dogs in suits.

Ink on a green blotter,
pickled pairs are hotter.

Piano keys with sauce,
horseradish shoes and floss.

Stop signs near edge of space,
colored cars in a race.

Police cars filled with cake,
Broken limbs of a snake.

Burbs (00063)
Subdivision doors fling open.
Sidewalks fill with walkers
reclaiming their youthful self image.
Cars leave their suburban barns
feeding the crowded traffic lanes
with stress filled drivers.
Copyright 2009 © Ronald D. Isom, Sr.

Exist (00062)
Desire to fill the cavernous
spiral of human existence
void of life’s purpose.

Complicated by the soul
that tries to balance
pleasure and purpose.
Copyright 2009 © Ronald D. Isom, Sr.

Rain (00061)
Verdant blades of grass
soaked with oppressive rain
of a season gone mad.

Contorting and punishing
nature’s sublime order
with liquid abundance.
Copyright 2009 © Ronald D. Isom, Sr.

Search(00060)
Canons of life muddle the creative spirit
and endanger the soul of discovery.

Seeking the inner core of true reason
Is the only means to finding harmony.

Copyright 2009 © Ronald D. Isom, Sr.

Past remembered (00059)
Rain soaked papers
detailing the memories of a time without worry.
Evil symbols of doubt
reminders of past glories of a time without hope.

False saviors(00058)
Sickness abounds in the dark recesses of an idle mind with no devices to rid the abscesses of eternal begging for mercy and pleading with inner turmoil that cannot be relieved with simple answers and clever potions provided by the false saviors of man.
Copyright 2009 © Ronald D. Isom, Sr.

Symbolic tale (00057)
Circles, squares, triangles in a myriad of forms tell the symbolic tale of intimate encounters with the purpose of existence defined by the ever changing meanings from cultures long forgotten and clothed in mysteries that defy meaning and understanding.
