roaming in eternity



he knows his strength
at least, he fears not
what he lacks
or, what little he has

with a thick skin
of the plains buffalo
he lives beyond a need
to strengthen his ego

or picking feathers for a cap
with an absent need to cover
his head from sun that burns
or cloud pouring  crocodile tears

neither does he need
any paper
online, or offline, to cover
his stinky arse, his poetic farts

wilderness of flourishing failures
a landscape, he much thrives
on, holding tight the horns
of the seasons roaming in eternity!

a simple pleading


in your world every victory
i see carrying a defeat
wanting more
and bringing more!

teach me, therefore, the art
of living beyond that triumph
that i may spend none to shun
a potential beat!

pack my mind with poise
that i may walk the foot
in silence, paying no notice
to the throbbing of heart!

fill my marrow with calm
that marks that distant cosmos
that i never yearn
to journey, nor to fix!

make my eyes blind
both to tumult and success, detachment
that my heart may cease
the craving for more to find!
