This Vagrant Dream...

...vagabond whisps of fantasy, haunting phantasms navigating the endless twisting avenues of the mind--restless, relentless, fleeting...

In God's Office

In God’s office,
snooping around
the other day,
I discovered the blueprints
to Oblivion—
the carefully calculated
plans for the End of the World.
But before I had time
to read how time dies,
my elbow got in the way
of a cabinet and jostled
the precariously perched hand-basket
atop ‘til it toppled over,
and out spilled Hell of it,
and splattered absolutely everywhere,
and made a real horrendous mess,
and I think I might have just
ruined the World’s End,
and the room stinks like sulfur now,
and the Devil wants a formal apology,
and I know this stain’ll never wash out,
and why couldn’t it have just been
a coffee instead?

Thank God for Forgiveness and Grace.

some thing i already spent

around Let’s run and
with the sun play and
ticklish grass will join
Our laughter;;;
but it rains today and
, for that matter, We
already sold Our childhood
at a fleamarket for some
thing i already spent,,,
so i’ll with the
fleas just dance and
besides
breathing you've stopped
anymore
anyway…

the Stars are all falling

the Stars are all falling
Springtime is dying
Autumn inhabits
this midnight.
the branches that held them
suddenly release them
to fall to the ground
now ablaze.
and what will the Sky think
when she finds them all missing?
her children have
all abandoned


her


cold. and
now the Stars—they’re all dy
ing; Winter’s arriving
with these fall
ing

how do you like your blueeyed boy

So it's back to school, is it? Well three cheers then.
Rummaging through some old notebooks, I came across a few doodles I really liked... I scanned them and finished one in photoshop (working on the other few still)... for your emo-rific viewing pleasure...

(a very wise man once clicked here for a better view)
Anyyyhoo
Haven't had much time for writing lately, which is sad because I'm so close to being done with that book of poetry. However, it is really good to be back at school, chillaxin with all my friends and whatnot. I really miss my sister though; she decided to go all the way down to Florida for her greater education. She's pretty much one of my closest friends and it's somewhat depressing that she's half a country away now after she was so close to coming here for college (we'd probably get on each other's nerves anyway though if we went to the same school). I'm really glad she's happy down there and everthing .still....

Grr... it's getting kind of late and I need sleep... I'll write something more humorous later.....

Dear diary,
Today
