Falsity
From a transcendent
Moment of joy
We make a precipice
To launch ourselves
Into the abyss of its over-ness
Like there was ever any
Slightest hint
That we were meant
To have a chronic bliss.
Can’t celebrate a simple thing
Finite in its elegance
Elegant in its finite-ness
Can’t we learn from this?
Must we always turn and make it less
Than what it is
Just cause it is
n’t everything?
Learn to treasure paradox
What is wantable
For what it’s not
More valuable for rarity
For scarcity
Delicious in its paucity
A temporary character
That yields to Next
And leaves us blessed
But we expect
An endless more.
I take a trip to paradise
Bring photographs
Like it was nice but
Through my mourning misery
There’s nothing gained that you’d believe
All is lost,
There’s not a joyful moment
That I won’t grieve
As if my agony
Proves its veracity.
Ah, the lazy way
We embrace despair
The cheap supply
Like common air
How wide your ass,
How flat my hair
The chip in that tooth,
Or on our shoulders
Cause she didn’t care.
As if we really do
When all we do is
Celebrate our sorrow
We don’t stay grateful
For a single day
And we are pre-gloomed
For tomorrow
Our happiness is all for show
We will throw it all away
When it changes shape or color
We call this a betrayal
And go back to what we know
And resume our celebrations
Of where we’ve gone astray
And how it wasn’t fair
As if justice was our due
And wallow in the comforts
Of all that wasn’t true
Until its over… over… over!
Our every breath and vital thing,
And the ones who choose to Be
Present in each moment,
Grateful
Joyful
Free
Spend a moment mourning you
Then a moment mourning me _________________ -

AE,
This made me cry.
That's not a bad thing...just my reaction.
The last part of your poem touched a deep chord.
Thank you for sharing this - I'll read it again.
Hella Hugs,

sweet girl.........as always I stand humbled, in awe, unable to dredge up the words i wish to say from the depths inside me where you words resonated. You are right, so right.
When all we do is
Celebrate our sorrow
We don’t stay grateful
For a single day
And we are pre-gloomed
For tomorrow
Our happiness is all for show
We will throw it all away
When it changes shape or color
We call this a betrayal
Thank you for reminding me.
