The Nugatory Tales (part 2)


Amongst us, the bold few,
Who adventured from the sea,
Whine a glorious tune,
That makes the buzzards sing,
Of the purifying waters,
And the fierce tides,
That can manifest change,
Where we were born,
the god of devastation,
the deep, endless ocean.
Where is it?


Amongst the company of youth,
One did know the way,
He often rested by the sea,
Listening to the soothing sound,
Of the sadistic crests,
Cleaning away the marks,
Carved into the sand dunes,
"Who wants to go,
to the sea,
and clean ourselves,
of impurity?"


Only ten agreed to go,
These pupils now knowing,
Ready to journey out,
And best the world,
By their own experiences,
Of trial and tribulation,
That are nugatory.
What can they teach,
when all they know,
is that naive query;
What is love?

The Nugatory Tales



The end of many things.
Of a cold, terrible winter
and the bitter, budding sprouts
from the trees, into leaves
leaving a fine, lurid dust
that poison which floods
away in May, clean in June
When green and blue roar,
like a lioness pride,
ready for the hunt.
We are ready.


The doors open and we stumble
into our freedom and slavery
unsure of what or whom,
to do or see.
Naive natives out for ourselves
and the lust for adventure
that never seems quenched.
An infinite, white map,
of finite satisfaction,
blotched with black.
Where do we go?

Moleskin Endeavors


Once again, more time on paper than computer for me recently. I'll post some stuff I started recently. "Outside" was from the moleskin too so maybe I should just photo copy my whole moleskin and start posting that... hmmm... Nah, too much effort!

Although I have noticed a tendency to being unable to find the words I want to use. I need a thesaurus... but whipping that out during ENG 242 probubly isn't going to get me any points with the professor!

Outside


Outside
the morning shivers
the dusk in a rush
Outside
there is a perfume
mother will not share
Outside
the bat and the rat
my mouth waters
Outside
there is a rustle
an orangutang
Where is it?
Where is it?
Where is it?
