Matter

This world doesn't matter.

It's the only thing that matters.

When Pearls Collide

Salt on quiet midnight;

Pepper, buzzing white;

They meet on marble floors

And dance away the bores.

One cannot tolerate

Summer any more;

The other shivers deep

Inside its very core.

Here at school, they

Have two choices:

Exchange their gifts in kind

Or suffer consequences.

For pan too red to clean,

Meat too frost to thaw;

They need each other's glean

To make it past the slaw.

Two Pearls

Pepper splashed

Across paper;

Dark silhouette,

World too hot and bright.

Salt spilled

Upon asphalt;

Shining star,

Cool blanketed night.

I'm waiting for the night to fall

I know that it will save us all

When everything's dark

Keeps us from the stark reality

I'm waiting for the night to fall

When everything is bearable

And there in the still

All that you feel

Is tranquility

There is a star in the sky

Guiding my way with its light

And in the glow of the moon

Know my deliverance will come soon

There is a sound in the calm

Someone is coming to harm

I press my hands to my ears

It's easier here just to forget fear

And when I squinted

The world seemed rose-tinted

And angels appeared to descend

To my surprise

With half-closed eyes

Things looked even better

Than when they were opened

Been waiting for the night to fall

Now everything is bearable

And here in the still

All that you hear

Is tranquility

I'm waiting for the night to fall

I know that it will save us all

When everything's dark

Keeps us from the stark reality

I'm waiting for the night to fall

When everything is bearable

And there in the still

All that you feel

Is tranquility

There is a star in the sky

Guiding my way with its light

And in the glow of the moon

Know my deliverance will come soon

There is a sound in the calm

Someone is coming to harm

I press my hands to my ears

It's easier here just to forget fear

And when I squinted

The world seemed rose-tinted

And angels appeared to descend

To my surprise

With half-closed eyes

Things looked even better

Than when they were opened

Been waiting for the night to fall

Now everything is bearable

And here in the still

All that you hear

Is tranquility

Racy Love Poem

Those living in glass houses

Shouldn’t always run degausses

To protect them from the stones

Thrown by all the queen’s drones.

Those who wear no clothing

Continuously exposing

The err in those indicting

What they themselves inciting.

Truth is, truth does hurt,

Which is why we all avert

To deluded un-acknowledgement

And disguise inflicted toxicant.

Instead let’s all embrace,

Yes, an orgy, not a race!

For love and peace far beats,

What fear and hate defeats.

Gullible’s Travels

All he ever

Wanted

Was to be free.

All they ever

Wanted

Was a trainee.

The more he sought

The more they caught

The more he fought

The more they taunt

Till taut plot taught nought,

A clot dot on tot yacht.

Haunted fraught thought,

Is it not?

Healing

Meanwhile, back on Hoth...

One could hardly blame the Wampa for attacking Luke. He had intruded on the Wampa’s space, making it feel threatened and scared. Still, Luke was going to need plenty of time and support to heal before he could be his normal positive, fully functional self again. He would still join the fight, but Leia and Han would understand everything he had gone through.
