Jubilate Agno: Fragment B, Part 2

LET PETER rejoice with the MOON FISH who keeps up the life in the waters by night.

Let Andrew rejoice with the Whale, who is array'd in beauteous blue and is a combination of bulk and activity.

Let James rejoice with the Skuttle-Fish, who foils his foe by the effusion of his ink.

Let John rejoice with Nautilus who spreads his sail and plies his oar, and the Lord is his pilot.

Let Philip rejoice with Boca, which is a fish that can speak.

Let Bartholomew rejoice with the Eel, who is pure in proportion to where he is found and how he is used.

Let Thomas rejoice with the Sword-Fish, whose aim is perpetual and strength insuperable.

Let Matthew rejoice with Uranoscopus, whose eyes are lifted up to God.

Let James the less, rejoice with the Haddock, who brought the piece of money for the Lord and Peter.

Let Jude bless with the Bream, who is of melancholy from his depth and serenity.

Its Later Than You Think

In the long ebon of night-
Where God oft' wakes our ears-
With His voice-'front and center'-
Conveying verity so clear we hear;

Broken 'tis the silence of our repose-
A curve ball shakes our comforter to the ground-
Spirals of inevitable verity of our own mortality-
Comes- knowing that we are not infinity bound;

'Tis later than you think- He harkens-
The final phase of your lifetime 'tis nigh-
Even with all mortal aid that has been given unto you-
In your throat-comes realities formidable sigh;

An absolute paralysis comes o'er you...
Free'ed are the tides of tears you now cry-
Realizing the clock has already ticked most of lifes seconds off-
Realizing that your time here 'tis, indeed, nigh! ;

Listen To Your Heart (An Ode To Courage)

But one simple, yet obvious fact remains, as has for nearly three years:

Love and hate have been engaged in a battle-love versus fears;

I am the truth of your heart, and your deceit is the manifestation

Of much, yet undue trepidation, as it relates to your future celebration

Of love in its myriad forms-now, the battle is between your heart and mind;

Your heart contains love as verity, yet your mind contains fears you need to leave behind;

Your mind contains a misplaced animus toward the love that causes your fright-

The courage I wish to impart to thee, is the strength to fight back, with all your might,

Any thought that this fear is permanent or rational-love's truth shall cause it to fastly fleet!

I, and others, may aid you along the way-yet, the battle's outcome must, before we truly meet,

Alphabetical Mirrored Phantom Quest For Infinity

Although beliefs creating dream existence fan great hopes'
infinity, judge! Knelled linchpin only, permanence quivering,
resurrection seems thesis untenable, verity's xylem yarn zapped..

Age blasts choice despite early force,
grief here in jail knots life's momentary nirvana opening,
pleasure quits room so that vanishing willpower xeroxes yesterday's zone.

Anguish, bleeding, cries dimly, evidence fades, ghostly halo iridescent jeopardized, knocked like mirage nuance, opportunity passed, quintessential role's stream terminated, unviable vision, wasted XY zoom.

All below clears,
dust embalms fears,
glad hearts ice.
Just karmic lice,
Mother Nature or
phantom quest's roar?
Soon tale's undone,
venture wide xenon.
Youthful zoon
after brief cycle,

Farewell Misunderstandings - Parody John Dryden - Farewell, Ungrateful Traitor!

Farewell, misunderstandings
Farewell, past perjury!
Let not unhappy landings
void voyage verity.
The pleasure of possessing
surpasses all expressing
though bitter-sweet its blessing
once seemed, heave-ho heart’s pain!

If upgrades site proposes
can't counter weary tears
when downgrade fate opposes
encounters change of gears,
those trophies once adorning
night, morning, witness mourning,
departure tells no dawning
when Judgement Day appears.

Deceptions past prepare us,
for neither pity, pain,

A Ballad of Freedom

Now Mr. Jeremiah Bane
He owned a warehouse in The Lane,
An edifice of goodly size,
Where, with keen private enterprise,
He sold imported napery
And drapery - and drapery.
His singlets and his socks were sent
Out over half the continent;
In clothing for the nursery
And mercery - and mercery
He plied a most extensive trade,
And quite enormous prodfits made,
And barracked, with much fervency,
For foreign-trade - described as 'Free.'
He said,
Indeed,
It was
His creed.
The trade described as Free.

Jackass

To know you is to hate you
So loving you must be like suicide
Well I don't mind if you don't mind
I'm not the one that's going to die
I guess I just can't listen
To this one sided conversation again
Cause I don't care if I don't care
Well no one ever said that life is fair

Well everybody loves a joke
But no one likes a fool
And you're always cracking the same old lines again
You're well rehearsed on every verse
And that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity

The center of attention
Got an honorable mention once again
Congratulations and salutations
You're figment of your own imagination

Anchorless and Engulfed

Two who each other barely knew -
though both drew down delinquency
some streets apart, are past, and few
shall etch sketch wretched memory.
Two travelled on lines parallel
while wheeled real reel of history,
banned reel ran out span's tocsin bell
tolled once to tell eternity

‘Bonjour, ma mie, je t'aime, adieu! '
The mocking bird of Destiny
nests but a moment. All falls through
before each earth-bound entity
grasp pain's pain glass a second, spell
life's sensitivity to see
things in perspective ere Death's knell
engulfs hopes in Styx misery.

Confined upon Earth's ark our zoo
builds up its bars too readily.

It is a maudlin and indecent verity that comes out through the strength of wine.
