Rival

  • by kwirb

RIVAL

Thoughtlessness has weighed down these wings,
despite the velocity of these near dreams.
Its attitude latitudes on meaningless things,
of worldly opinions, and devious schemes.

But should I attempt this ascension mention?
Or pay better attention to tense contentions?
Shall I instead extend this condescension?
Or perhaps take solace in reality suspension?

It would be a lesser stressor to say we have parted,
to grow apart, and move on, without further insult;
Though better it is for the words we have thwarted,
becoming strangers; dishonesty is a worser result.

I cannot rival the words that contrive
but I will strive on and pray we survive.

Reality, Circumstantially

  • by kwirb

REALITY, CICRUMSTANTIALLY

(actually) Discuss this life, shall we, this anomaly,
in its insanity’s duality’s capacity, understandably,
using fractionally simple faculty and easy analogy
and rapidly parody this triviality anatomy,
a commonality fallacy of collective mentality,
the austerity galaxy of inhumanity mastery,
an apogee’s vitality of our mortality laxity,
in the tapestry center of gravity, tactfully,
with audacity of tragedy and dastardly travesty
whose alacrity amnesty of this reality canopy
is the calumny cavalry of uncanny brutality,
the apathy prodigy of philanthropy and fantasy,
the tenacity modality of catastrophe rhapsody,
as a casualty-less finality of this vanity calamity?

Mass Media Minions

Mass Media Minions

Newsworthy, noteworthy, all of it surreal.wpid-wp-1441573963386.jpeg
We are the minions of their humble opinion.
People, places, things; a treacle less regal,
to nourish the common, empty-vessel’d civilian.

And it does not matter if you are resilient
For all that you hear cannot be unheard
For the millions, and billions, and trillions
is your neighbor and friend, who quotes every word.

So, now that you know of each action occurred,
Of the facts irrelevant; sustained, remain mundane’d,
It is enough. To corrupt. And beseech and unlearn.
We are Mass Media Minions; lamed and contained.

We seemingly dream of keeping heads and eyes on,
but can we rise above the artificial horizons?

crank

crank

plug the cranked up volume
unravel the vocal’s wire
grasp the vocals acquire
never in tune

fluctuating tonal room
slower tempo and pitches higher
desiring a tuned choir
and timbres of croon

this range is a phase
let me repair, pair it off
from this rank to that rank

with age goes the range
tear, barer play it off
be bold and crank

That Snape Guy

  • by kwirb

Snape+wand**SPOILER ALERT TO ANYONE STILL READING THROUGH THE HARRY POTTER SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME**

So if I am honest, I have a pretty unhealthy obsession with that Snape guy. To the point where one of my closest friends didn’t even have to think twice of what to get me as a souvenir from London when she went on her honeymoon.

There are many things about this Snape guy that I find appealing. But, firstly, let me start with what is unappealing, mainly his dying in the 7th book. I was so devastated. I had to put the book down. And make a long distance call to my cousin on the other side of the globe to discuss my angst with this narrative turn. It was gut-wrenching. Or throat-slitting, in this case.

So, like many fans who cannot accept the fate that J.K. Rowling has bestowed upon Mr.Snape, I turned to “fan fiction”. And I say turned, because I enjoy lying to myself, because I still presently peruse fan fiction sites to see other people’s take on how that Snape guy managed to thwart his untimely demise.

I suppose I could delve into my personal theory, however I do not know how much patience you have as a reader, so I will spare you from missing anything important that I have to say by letting you know that anything in italics is probably just more of my own conspiracy theories revolving the death of Severus Snape. Which means you can safely skip past these sections of this log. (TBC)

everywhere

  • by kwirb

everywhere

beyond city lights and man made landscapes
further down the blueish skyline
opposite the snowbanks and forest
over the hill and into the evergreen’d wood

westward pathways, rocky, darkened caves
eastward, mossy, broken houses
northern mists from vapor trails
to southern wayward waterfalls

left by the cornfield
right at the darkened road
up to the cloud lies
downpour of rain fall

slippery slithering sins
whispered in whistles of wind
