Epoch Reverie

~ Crispy 
~°~
Day and night
A flight of fancy
Fey unfolding rays in dancing pirouettes chanting

Standing on this gusting cliffside, trusting
Watching all the silhouettes
of paper homes in minuets along the rivers gusting
Shivers

Rain delivers pained relief
as stains pour off in painted rivers
Deltas at my feet

Standing crystal
Just a view
Landing true a guided misfall granting what I new

This cosmic sun setting soon
Letting way a mystic moon
May this day's intrinsic tune untumble into dancing

Oh may I might so soon insight
Another flight of fancy

Sillanthropy

~ Crispy 
To be sully is silly
But to be silly's never sully

And if you sally forth in dilly-dally dailies dully
The hilly helly hullies spilling out your skilly skully
Will dilly-dally silly sully sally-forthing tilly tallies
Till your skilly scatter-skully wilts in nilly nullies

And even as the sully notions rise up to the surface
We see the silly words that really rally them to purpose

And if we sally fifth in seeing all the silly things we're being
Really seeing what we're freeing
--newly nowly knowing

It seems to us really
That it's life that's so silly
So why not just go with the flowing?

Shellscape

~ Crispy
In all that is
that pours this sizzling
egg of life that fries in grizzly
scrambles, rambling up the hills
to  free  the  yolk  of  all  that  ills
not knowing that the shell’s been
 ~ Cracked ~
There simply is no going back:
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
His insides are leaking all over the wall
We can put him together like there wasn’t a scratch
But gone are the chances he’s going to hatch

Gone Anon

~ Crispy

For every poor and sorry soul
A spirit soars and sighs
For every sea whose shore unfolds
A new horizon dies

And as the mountains spew their flames
And as the fountains sparkle dew
Our rising breaths are just the same
As torrents ripping through

Here comes the shadow, traced in light
And lost in lover’s scorn
There goes the times that never, might, and ever be reborn

So short this life and long the days
Where madness sings to saner ways
And sadness brings the gladdest gaze
The eyes will never see

So on and gone and shone anon along the winding way
To bay the moons of summer noons
To sway that starlight day

Deafen Ishin

A poem is unknown
A poem is a whisper
Unfolding like an open leaf
of lettuce in a crisper

A poem is outgrown
From all that we’re shown
And flown through the skies of wide-minded

A spark in the dark of a whispering heart
A light in the land of the blinded

A poem is a passage through catacomb rock
A hole in the swallowing trees
The simplest way to pick and unlock
The trick of the human inease

A poem is the roaming of ocean crush foaming
To speak of a peek of the stars

A poem is as simple as telling the world
It’s beautiful just cause it’s ours

Evermore

~ Crispy

Somehow in someway on some beautiful day
When the sun’s shining down through the clouds
And the wind whispers still from the top of the hill
And you peer on the vast moving crowds

There at the center, standing in place
Will be a lone staring familiar face

And I hope you don’t mind if I cry
Cause I’ve missed you through all of these years
And if this should be our goodbye
I pray you can let go the tears

And drip in the spill from the tip of the hill
And look on me then as I look on you still
My brother, my sister, my lover, my friend
Remember forever~ This isn’t the end.

Keep Blending

~ Crispy

Fence this life
Mensa like a pencil
Chance the after-mallice stances
Glances after cancel

Plan this stencil
Staggerate your senses
Exagerate the existencial saspirilla central

Keep pensing
Deeper than a frowning
Lend the mental laughter after sensing all the clowning
Steep sounding
Fend for all the friendlies
Never end the severing upending all the Bentleys

Keep sending
Keep blending into bothers
They’re never more than leather for
​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​the chaps that hold your fathers

Go further
Further than you’ve known
This is all the present server ever to be shown

Brake of Dawn

~ Crispy

Trickle thick in liquid seeping
Coating throats of windy wars
Dream the dream of never sleeping
through the molten cores

This world is forming, swarming out
In liquid shores of warming spouts
That torment through the rocky crusts
Of loathing, fear and never trusting
all the bloating nearness thrust
By noble gusts and power winds
And marble misty showers in
The hours of the final days
Before the sun breaks through in rays

Share

Innosense

~ Crispy

Look on this world with innocent eyes
In the fury of heartache and madness and lies
In the tempests and whirlwinds of mindsets that swirl
From the depths of emotion, look on this world
with innocent eyes

That is the spray of the sea, it’s not you
That is the hammer of fear, it’s not true
That is the way that it always will be
So don’t hold too dear till it’s through

Let the heartache break your heart
so it may then expand
Let the madness peer inside
and humbly make a stand
Let the whirlwinds tear your mind
while you sit back and see
That even seas that beg to drown
may also set us free

Look on this world with innocent eyes
Watch as the paintbrushes flow
Know that the art is a part of your heart
And the rest, a magnificent show

The Heartest

~ Crispy

Goodbye is the hardest word I know~
When you see them leave… when you watch them go ~

When the earth bursts that final shine of dancing colour
And sings its soaring ode to the pouring load that gushed between you

Then like watercolour, begins to drip away
To seep off the page
To pour tearstain ribbons down your face

So long sweet painting
You gorgeous piece of art
You lush planet of fading dreams and melting memory

I’ll never store your shores again
I’m still coursing with your flow
It’s bleeding out my open veins
It’s the hardest word I know

Star Course Rising

~ Crispy

When you take a juicy bite from the fruit of the sky
And your chin drips in twilight’s nectar
And the stars are seeds that fizz in your mouth
and twinkle gooey rushes inside you

The mind rises with the notions of infinite oceans
of fractal web cartography, charting your course
through the looming abyss that spans like the space
between thoughts

Spin freewheeling
Dance with the glee of melting harmony
Let it ooze overtop you

Sing to the heavens that splash their mistings
and ring with the symphonies of shining tides

This is your place in the netherworlds forming
This is your dream in the mind of the sky
This is your star-burning hearth that is warming
This is your answer to why

No Words

~ Crispy

You know, it’s a funny thing.
You learn, you earn your turn, you sing
And just before you burn, you bring
Yourself to fling
The tragic thing you fold away
So magic can take hold

And all the paper scraps you follow
Scripted with your drifted sorrow
Come out from their holding hollow:
One last read, and then tomorrow
A day starts uprooted, lifted
Nothing borrowed ~

A life unscripted

Gunked Up

~ Crispy

Rid my mind of all these ghosts
That haunt me taunting, mounting walls
That hide away the truths I toast
While tripping on the old pitfalls
I hid away when I was younger
And those to which are newer, true
That I once thought would feed the hunger
Trembling under all I do

Screw this twisted misfit mountain
Built of shame and pain and pride
Take the clogs from out this fountain
So I may sit upon its side

And meditate the churning waters
So to clearer see
All the toiling tombs and totters
Boiling here in me

Spell of the Moon

~ Crispy ~ 1 Comment

Come to me darling
Come to me soon
To glance on the star twines and dance undermoon
Flushing our blood with the freshess of air
the swelling of love
the rushing of daring to run underspell
of the sky above staring us down

Pairing our steps to the wide gliding open
Casting our eyes on the forward unspoken
Weaving together the bond lesser broken
By healing the tokens we’ve wronged

Shot from the Hip

~ Crispy

Such beautiful people
Gone, gone…

Such wonderful spirits
Onward on…

Goodbye forever, and never let go
You tide pushers and line rushers
of so much we know

You beatniks, you hippies
You glorious souls
Crushed in the waves
of momentum you rolled

Merry in Netting

~ Crispy

I smoke a toke and become a different bloke that’s chokin
Broke in the open trope of never known n tokin
Floatin the streams of never beens
and ever-seepin grievers
Street-level open-shovel diggin up the reapers

Look at the mangled roots
Look at their stretch
Look upon the tangled poet
showin all he’s etched

Seep into the reaping true to fleeting all the gangles
Always reaching to uphold the scolding credo tangles

This is how a marionette is draped upon the stage
Of all the world in acting’s Globe
in every given agemarionette05

Dreaming of Dragons

~ Crispy

Dragon Banner

Dreaming of dragons again
Dreaming of leatherfangs and batwings
Snarling howls and bellyfire
Power surging turgid captures of collassal enchantment
Mountaintops booming tellurian thunder
Skyways raging vast and festerous
Stormboned and shutterbound
Golden and godly
Roaming and rife

Dreaming of dragons again
What a surprise

Recurrents

~ Crispy

I guess that I’m back at the start

She broke my heart
Opened me up
Tore me apart
Poisoned my cup
Oh, what an art

We met in the middle
And little by little
We’re found at the ends
No matter the fact that we started as friends
Something still tore us apart

I guess that we’re back at the start
