Flash Of Eternal Now

The sad tarantula inside my brain 
calculates which way I will want to go 
to stay in shape for the end of the world 
that will occur during the evening show 
we watch on television by the door 
which fractures belief system we abhor. 

The souvenir I buy from the quaint store 
contains demonic spirit of the girl 
who used to dance in wild waves of the sea 
before she decided to marry me, 
so we stroll together in our neighborhood 
to feel pulse of life we decide is good. 

Disordered proverbs of the holy mind 
proclaim that babies we create from love 
are all the meaning of life we shall need 
despite the weird apocalypse each year 
where everything we believe is proved wrong 
so we together compose our own song. 

Flowers open to catch innocent snow 
that covers everything in veil of hope 
so we climb the stairs to top of the world 
where we can see the home our love creates 
spin forever on the merry-go-round, 
then kiss in harmony with the Earth Sound. 

Among tall willows on the river shore 
we dance with arrogant disdain for Death 
who fails to demand our honest respect, 
so we defy expectations contrived 
by jealous people to inhibit how 
we mature through flash of eternal now. 

Ignoring tragic fate of life we choose, 
we preserve shadows of our vibrant souls 
inside amber stone that reflects the sea 
with shocking gospel of the humble bee 
through consolation of the raven wing 
when we translate psalms the mountain winds sing. 

Imperfect portrait of our partnership 
frames glamor of our love on sunlit wall 
at sudden vanishing of clumsy lies 
that expose our hearts to star-shattered skies 
though we hold hands and leave it all at that, 
against convention of their social law. 

My old weather vane heart turns with the wind 
of angry sorrow blown from surprised mouths 
when people of the land shout with outrage 
at how deceitful thief they voted for 
steals everything they made with crafty hands 
so all their castles crumble into sand.
