Linear Thinking
Your winning streak is linear
we sit here bedazzled and befuddled
confusion may often run supreme
but that too is only the short-lived scuttling of a dream
All losses are but temporary setbacks
whilst the timbre of thine instrument
remaining intact as the rotating drift of a sphere
retains its incumbent nature benign as yet
Romantic interludes aside
always beginning always ending
the undeniable thrust of potent elements
colliding one unforeseeable with the other

My retention is a fleeting revenant
a past that lingers in its inexhaustible wake
teary-eyed forthcoming belabored bleak
estuary of languor retained by my heart
As was once the case a detection of soul
cutting slicing machete-like through the illusion
informing directing plodding inside of a swampland
ever seeking the elusive high ground of peaceful nirvana
Counterweight of the permeating influx
porous apparitions of what might have been
the feet-on-the-ground stability of a solid
consistent creative conjunctive confluence
Define to me all as a part in the oneness
lackadaisical whimsy the philosophical refrains
inclinations of doubt indifference apathy impotence
grasping at the unreachable star of quenching universality
