Sing to Me
~~~~~ Will you transport me somewhere divine? A city somewhere faraway; not holy, sublime I know your fingers have learned every street. Broad boulevards, alleys, and narrow lanes. Show me wonders I would not find on my own. Unless I have a thousand years there all alone. Yet, if I’m alone and the city is […]
Note by Note
~~~~~ What dance is this, if I may ask?Is it too capricious to explain?Yet, danced once, it’s easy to learn.Knowing now, I hasten to proclaim.Dance me the stars, the bottom of the sea.Metaphor cannot contain what this means to me.Take my hand and I will guide you step-by step.Everywhen, we shall always have laughed and […]
Rolling the Die
On the Lookout ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Round and round a die tumbled and spun. Might it bring disaster or merely bring fun? Chances are, it’ll change with every throw. It is only rolling the die that we will know. Now, die, of course, may connote a death. Really, what do you think we […]
Conspires in Darkness
Duplicity x Two in Green ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ How many scams can one man assay before he’s known to flimflam? How many folks will murder or die before they see through his sham? Yes, and how many years will this madness exist before his shills won’t persist? The answer and why they still […]
Here We Go
~~~~~ When the absurd makes sense and sense becomes absurd. Here we go. Here we go. Around the wheel again. We’ve been here before. Let’s continue to pretend a thing’s exactly what it is. While it is something else. Do you want water w/ fizz or a nasty beer gone flat? Do you have any […]
Don’t You Know?
~~~~~ All our symbols of success and failure are much more than they might appear. Though they may not be what you think. Paper, metal bits, a conspirator’s wink. If you are rich, you believe I am wrong. All your wants, needs met, a happy song. If you are poor, you know that I’m right. […]
We Shall
~~~~~ In the deepest darkness where most folks don’t go, you will discover people not wearing any clothes. In the deepening darkness where most of us dwell, everyone’s willingly blind. No fire, yet still it is hell. Each lives with a view, whether it is day or night. Some fear the bright sun and others […]
Heard it Here First
~~~~~ The only thing I’ve written so far, I fear since the beginning of this nascent year is the date. It took four times to jot clear. I don’t want you to hear it other than here. ~~~~~ People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is […]
The Giftie Gie Us
~~~~~ How then cannot we see our own true selves? The poet’s answer realized in our social media, where we act half fools and do naught by halves. Constantly connected, on Twitter to Wikipedia. Do we ever look in this mirror that we created? Join we this grand communion, or voyeurs only. And judging others […]
Perhaps
Where the Waters Meat ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Another year has come and gone and man, it mostly was a bummer. Hope the new year has peace and sun. Perhaps, we will know next summer. ~~~~~ People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment […]
