nothing concluded 105

stepping on his own toes
getting out of his own way
back to when the memory
served well
as well can be

floating away from
a distracted eye
thinking merely of the funds
and how to spend them
they control the pulse of the world

how many get by on what
is necessary as opposed
to those who let desire
controlling the entirety
of the situation stabilized

not quite calm
not disturbing the peace
worked hard to achieve
only to destroy
in a moments notice

the minor details
proving that nothing
is conclusive
as if something different
might decide to be the same

as everything else
no one really sees the whole picture
no wonder there are conflicting
tales tied in knots
nearly impossible to straighten

all the tangled lines
thinking internally at times
not writing it all down
for future generations
that may or may not appreciate

words on pages
it is all life
just different stages
of the game some play
and some take serious

a situation
now with nothing
to look forward to
can't look behind
nothing concluded...

created for creating

suddenly in the dark alone again
waiting for something to clear the clouds
of smoke a haze created for creating
and the guru returns for a stay
in one place never
just passing through all of this
with a smile stretching
a turning that some may never see
nothing but a colossal waste of time
and paper and ink
stained arms and back
to the point in the lonely direction
never really fading from view
it from another angle
and it all might appear a little different
thoughts stretch over the skull like a second skin
on the inside of course
covering the mind with the same clouds
created while creating
something not many will take the time to read
and appreciate as anything more than scribble
scratch nonsense and babble
Christmas just doesn't have the same feel
as it did way back when wrapping paper
and plenty of food were available and consumed
not as exciting still feels great guru being around
each minute ticking corner taken too fast
will result in the shift of thought
from one spot to the next...

nothing concluded 104


nothing concluded
after all this time
for a review done
and undone ideas
appearing out of thin air

and it's hard to hard
to breathe through
all the smoke
swirling around the mind
making more words

appear dark on white
pages stacking thought
on top of thought
besides what else
would these idle hands construct

building bridges of thought
painting portraits of thought
some quite abstract
nothing concluded
of course

wondering which window
to look out for dangerous ideas
of material success
come from inside knowing
he does what he is supposed

to be doing too much at once
there was a young boy
making random notes
appear to hold no tune
the dial to now

and see the man
with so much random thought
his arm hurts and so many
stare how many care
nothing concluded

needing an expansion team
to move his words in front of eyes
who could care
about a mind steady thinking
sinking deeper into pen meditation

nothing can break the focus
two eyes closed
one eye wide open
so many would never see
the importance of the written word

ideas bouncing off of paper
ideas blinding the 20/20 seers
and even penetrating ears
of the non-seers
nothing concluded

smokes still rising
from the remains
of yesterday knowing
he's been good enough
all along getting only better

most just fail to see
that which is most important
forget what is appropriate
and who cares
what the others will think

words
and scattered thoughts
random and
nothing ever
concluded...
