Esoteria
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden 29 & 30 April 2009)

Drawn to in
And drawn to out
But not without
He climbs a wooded stair

Driven to this
And driven to that
Survives a drought
His drive is always there

Full of intent
But not content
Strives for to own
His nature’s heart and soul

Hey a life
And hey to live
An individuation through
A ticket to eternity

The Poem-Prose …

Supine
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 27April2009)

The controversies lay in mastery of soul
That naked flame that both burns and warms
The spice that tantalizes

But what is soul
Sometimes destiny and fate
Sometimes a stumble through the jungle of random chance
Perhaps that one thing that binds us all
Blood, which we constantly shed
In the name of destiny and fate

Yet perhaps it is all chance
Brief, meaningless encounters
Sensorial grasps
And control and mastery seek to gather those into mounds
For some future use
Perhaps just to gather, as meaning

And the controversy is the resultant barren lives
In search of a soul
The elusive grail
Lost in the fear of death
The failure to focus on the here and now
The dawning of a superannuated life paid forward, plot and all

As Negativity
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 19 April 2009)

What could go wrong
May not go wrong
In the happiness of life
And a square with rounded corners is still a square
Though it probably represents life’s cycle more accurately than a circle
And familiarity seems to bring on the sense of ageing, perhaps more so than change
So logi-rhythmic episodes recur

There’s movement and a certain thrust where people know their fate
Though no one knows exactly when they’ll die
While how is sometimes known and more often wished for

There’s a nature in the natural rhythm of positivity
And it’s often industry or the contributing from extending mind, largesse aside
Then life’s eternal, perhaps infernal, balance bangs against the door of timing
Sometimes opening sometimes closing it to flow
And it’s there the chime of frustration resonates the loudest
As negativity

You Are What You Need To Be
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 17 April 2009)

There we hide in the interim cloud
Before we rain making tracks into life
Mixing with all we need to become whole
Though not quite the same as the other

The traces we leave as we evaporate back into cloud
Lend colour and character to a different whole
While the new cloud is yet another mix
Of the same essence-ial cycle

For to know is to have lived, till we forget
For I am only in passing
And the tracks that I leave will become traces
In the shifting colour and character of whole

A-flutter
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 16Apr2009)

The clothes line a-flutters
A-flutters
A-flutters
Then a strong gust throws everything violently
Including the shadows
And back to a-flutter
A-flutter
A-flutter

The birds bask in the sun beneath the wind
Preening
Pecking at the grass
A-waiting
A-waiting
An autumnal feed from human hand

The sun gives out a mid-afternoon warmth
Inviting you into it
Reminding you, winter’s coming
Winter’s coming

Your thoughts are a -flutter
A-flutter
A-flutter

Distant Madonna
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 12Apr2009)

There’s a real life madonna in the distant night
Etching out a life that she used to have
With a child in hand and a different man

She knows a kind of peace in her dynamism
With a dance and a pose geometrically cut into confined spaces
Where drapes and paint fashion a home

And there’s a zest for travel and the outdoor space
For all life has to offer despite the frowns
And a membership for recognition and hope

The child strikes a pose for the record with battered face
Not through violence but the expectation of a better place
And the hope that the man will stay on beyond the chase

There’s all in a life that happens here
The onslaught beyond time and fear
And a daytime for reality to fund it all

Cavalcade
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 08April2009)

There is that Easter cavalcade
Of mourners emulating mourners
Troughing out for peak’s sake

A man was killed for challenging the system
And this a cause for celebrartion
For chocolate manufactureres

The modern would be martyr
Replete with cholesterol problem
Ends crucified to an operating table

Whereas in another place
They strap on bombs
And walk into crowded places

Fanaticism was as fanaticism is
Senseless waste of human life
Supposedly in the name of betterment

But the contest for power over others
Which it is, morphs into a moral code
To die rather than to live for, literally

And so we put it on a pedestal
Distorting it into a festival
Where what it is, is not
