Between Epochs
The Cloud Rider
I am open to criticisms and suggestions; I am eager to learn more since I just started with free-verse poetry.
A conversation with myself
It was a night with cola and rum.
Two of the best friends in solitude.
Babble, babble, babble; then silence-
stars shoot down int the dark horizon.
“Why so quick?” Said one who didn’t see…
Too precious for everyone…
“Must’ve been a virgin,” We laughed.
Babble, babble, babble, then silence.
“No really why so quick?” Then I pondered-
“At least they didn’t stop for anything,”
Passersby look at me strangely.
That riddle with the changing man
Horses at dawn
On the horizon they run slowly-
maybe.
Clouds in front of the blood red sky-
The beginnings of war.
They travel to the heat of midday
peace and bright slumber.
The horses time travel.
The clouds time travel.
A religion
of life.
War, peace, death.
All in one-
The moth
Deny the moth its light and-
give it darkness.
Feed, fuck, fight it with-
abysmal intent.
Only then will you have made
hungry, hung-up, and hungover-
the creature’s new religion.
Then look at its eyes when it goes down on you.
You realize-
you’ve made a mistake.
