it's all in the timing

comedy is...
by t.a. faust

comedy is this
but also some of that too
ironic puzzle

what gives us laughter?
we see ourselves from without
damn criticism

we share our chuckles
moments stolen from the day
those are ours alone

inspiration

the golden spark
by t.a. faust

sometimes there's something
hidden within or just lost
some missing pieces

errant memories
tugging at my own heartstrings
a nostalgic fool

we live in the Now
a present from the present
always re-gifted

imagine yourself...
but then you've already lost
a fictional past

sometimes i pretend
and other times i just can't
too close for comfort

another lost world
spinning through infinite space
here i go again

time killer


by t.a. faust

one or two per day
wrapped tightly around itself
my rubber band ball

it bounces loudly
resonating off the desk
reverberation

how do i find the time?
i suppose i'm flexible...
ELASTICITY!

torus

by t.a. faust

a swirling donut
                                     energy folding within
                                                                            the universe Is

what if...


by t.a. faust


a brilliant flash
night sky flashing into day
what is this new light?



a young sun is born
gas giant gone nuclear
epic explosion

terrifying twins
two solar sisters hang low
dark night now banished

people are fearful
how can the planet survive?
air hot, seas boiling

within a few months
our planet lies still and dry
exterminated

but it's not over
beneath the surface, Man lives
perfect survivor

the first step
by t.a. faust





one mistake leads you

another drags you further




deep into the dark

bliss

finding it
by t.a. faust

scary awareness
a paralyzing knowledge
ignorance is missed

that will happen...

by t.a. faust

dark clouds dissipate
into a lightening sky
sun breaks our bondage

wherever i am
there i must remain as placed
by the universe

once you realize
that everything is nothing
then you have something

a mistake? of course
there is no doubt in my folly
it's just natural

romance is romance
it's just magic in essence
believe what you will

drenched


distinctly fearful
my hard-heart beats terribly
i shudder to think

the moments go on
one after the other, on
pushing forward, on

life gets in the way
we try to hide our poor selves
but we just reveal

our hiding places
they're not really that hidden
or secret at all

secret lives within
ideas holding me back
images dripping

sharing

by t.a. faust

sharing is giving
because you never get back
that which you once gave

scoop

by t.a. faust

my dreams are dripping
vanilla, strawberry, fudge
triple scoop divine

the pen is mightier

by t.a. faust

i'm feeling some guilt
for penning down my thoughts, views
as though they're trapped now

literal fences
holding in the wild magic
i see around me

forever held down
lost animals in cages
my zoo of a mind

slowly twisting
by t.a. faust

bells ringing laughter
chains twisting on the swing set
shoes kicking woodchips

Friday, September 2, 2011

Above

toes squeezing the edge
hair twisting with even breath
gold eyes close slowly

early morning thoughts
decisions made over time
clock ticking wildly

shame and pain combine
anger used against herself
it wasn't worth it

pushed
by t.a. faust

step by step i walk
my feet growing heavier
sleep is imminent
