Current mood: Unexpectant!

What’s Meant To Be
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 21 & 22 October 2008)

It’s hard to understand what’s meant to be
That ache in the heart that wells into tear
The song that you hear

Stumbling out of the losses of what you knew well
Gathering the soul into the present once again
For what you feel is likely in vain

The sun warms your back as you play with the cat
So short is the moment that you cannot look back
For you know your essence is under attack
You’re comin’ undone

It’s hard to intercept what’s meant to be
The cornucopia of emotional dependencies
That guideth our way societally
In question only literally

? Martin Eden

Current mood:? anxious

CONSTANTZIA
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 14 October 2008)

The world it streams the faith of the ages
Never quite lost but never quite found
The lined faces steeped in tradition
Happy and distressed, surviving
Youth climbing, fearless, smiling
In the face of it all

Yet the dust, the dryness, is onerous
The tears of young hopes not yet knowing
That all cannot come due to greed
Forever blowing, the winds of change
Nevertheless cause the ebb and flow
And life drifts on, etching sameness

? Martin Eden

Current mood:? enlightened

Thought
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 09 October 2008)

There is thought that runs parallel with life,
and thought that is conscience bred;
and then there’s strategic manipulation.

? Martin Eden

Current mood:? artistic

Jacob’s Ladder
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 6 October 2008)

What is form
But a construct

To quell the silences
To drop the word

Never a happening
Just a coathanger myth
In passing
Felled by time
Risen

? Martin Eden
