Gravity Makes a Man Sober; and a Woman Older

Dreaming Again; How Dare I

Jeff Klepper

The world lies to you just as if it ever was there for you

But opposition is a fashionable means to fortify the few

The miscommunication is more or less a lapsed judgement

And we kiss the molecules that keep us from living the argument

We may love the land we touch but there is no ordinary fiction to solve this kiss

This kiss off, to the ordinary and the arbitrary and obituary we have read in distress

This let down, this overbearing stare in the mundane lapsed horizon that sits in despair

Heaven knows, there is nothing that has grown at the bottom of the hearts own disrepair

Kill a nun or shun a son, its all the same to me, or misrepresent the heaven sent it is all relativity

Forget the world and the girl who caused you harm and then christen this life in Christianity

That subtle lie sent from the sky, a situational inspirational transparent collapsed ideal

That one day when we are reborn as humans and than we can give the judge our repeal

Then when we set foot upon the land again we will never second guess our friends

And that day we will renounce the bullshit that relies on our malcontent

 

I don’t often mark occasions with poems but in this case it is only fitting

On Death: A Reminder

Jeff Klepper

The dead are merely absent when we greet the night now and than

They swing their hips back and forth like boats bobbing on the wharf

There is no simple answer to the reasons why we live as we do

But sudden spells of urgency help us to regain our trust in eternity

With hopes that one day we may just live long enough to say

That coping was artificial means to dealing with constant decay

Sand and ocean touch like lips, across the planets just like our hips

That is the only thing that seems to gives us solace, when the doom is well upon us

Light in caverns deep and dark, tell of ancient ruins and cities stark

Where castaways from lives gone past sit and wonder what is last

A vacancy so far beyond that stars themselves will not come along

And one day soon you will see; that vacancy is all there will be
