Oh Perfection
by Tricia Pattinson
Oh Perfection!
You stay aloof; untapped!
Am I so terrible?
Undeserving of happiness?
Or are you misunderstood?
Like the Sun circling Earth?
Oh Perfection you elude everyone!
In different ways our homage turns to guilt!
Are angels too seeking you?
Have they a greater wisdom of your truth?
Or do the angels struggle as we
In their shadowy grief of some criminality?
Are you a teacher using faults?
Giving lessons in self love?
Showing harmony
With discordant chords?
That accepting all is good
Even in the practice cruel?
Oh Perfection!
Thank you for the twists and turns!
For allowing me to run in circles
To seek you upon mountainous routes
For revealing imperfections gift -
Change is a dervish golden mean!
And perfectly made to experience life
To feel and know the Creator's stride
So Perfection you're at the core
Allowing us to learn and grow toward
One day we'll all wake up
Knowing the Earth circles the Sun
Literature
sleepy
I WANT TO GET DRUNK
Literature
A quiet strained voice
I want to write again,
Beleaguered eloquence rolling forth,
from lips too tired of empty platitudes to
So much as squeak.
I miss having big brassy ideas
And eyes full of hope.
Now sorrow scorched I lean to the side,
Wondering if gentle fingers will one day
Brush dust from my skull,
And ask in quiet voice ,
Why couldnt they save themselves.
The world burns with a casual violence
Too terrible to countenance
As the faces of men and women
Grow gaunt with unspoken
Omnipresent violence.
What sort of creature are we
Forever denying ourselves the truth
Digging deep into our well of stubbornness
To find one more reason to not save ourselves;
Literature
Regret
A coarse lacquer of filth
Regurgitated, a bubbling froth
Splattered forth from cracked lips
Shame incarnate, disgust manifest
A voice so meek, atrophied and dry
The oasis of your name, a mirage
Entombed behind my tongue
Locked away so tightly
Coyly peeking through my memories
Tainted repose, restlessly wan in form
Smug in your defiance
Teased incessantly
By the eyes I'll never see again
Drifting alone in the chasm of sleep
