Whole-some
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 26 January 2010)
What brings the life
That never was
But always wanted to be
It’s the choice within
In the now
The past and future too
The child
The adult
The parent
Self-sufficient
Yet integrated
As whole as ‘one’ can be

Kontrivance II
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 24 January 2010)
Twice a ranging cat did say
She never saw her way
Though she felt and sensed a higher plane
Of kontrivance

Kontrivance
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 24 January 2010)
A kontrivance linked by hinges fell open in layers
Of various shapes and sizes
In an array of colours
Each a door to the whole
Which fell into oblivion once
And twice into sainthood
But ‘What the hell!’, she said
‘Even Christ never made a second coming.’
Though the legacy of insight and challenge remain
And how so creation by a series of linkages
Ever changing
Though the disparate parts were always there
Still are for that matter
Which will seem to matter
And then not

resilience
(a poem-prose written by martin eden on 24 january 2010)
it’s a nail biting exercise
the dust and the grit
and failures to boot
but what of it
sayeth the lord of others
the same nasty of eden
so henceforth they fly
and crash into each other
these run-aways from failure
while it is i who moves on
the better for the experience
the more resilient, self icon
but why is the harder
the warmer in the end
aye, for the broader base

Happy Me
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden o n 22 January 2010)
I run the gauntlet, happy me
Oblivious to the cut down poppies
For I am not one as yet
Though I’d like to be
To stand above the multitudes
To see what it is they follow
Though they don’t want to know

Recluse
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 26 December 2009)
Recluse walked among the mire
Recluse knew of good and bad
Recluse found nature’s peace and solace
Recluse travelled deep into personal desire

Decreationism
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 26 November 2009)
The mirror fell on the floor of doom
And shattered into a millenium of pieces
Each with its own ending
Each shard could draw blood and reflect
Many millenia of suffering and survival
And a god that fell upon his knees in regret
The pieces seemed uncertain and alone
Yet shared a certain commonality
A lowest common denominator of minimalist selves
Which appealed to certain media tycoons and politicians
And this all egged on till the sun, hell, froze over

At Home
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 23 November 2009)
At home
Is a space
Between past and future
One can call one’s own
Alone
Or with someone
But so many don’t live there

Darkness
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 22 November 2009)
I can see in the darkness
What I could not in the light
Why is that I ask myself
Conditioning
For what purpose
And by whom
But that is an endless enquiry
Suffice to say we better know ourselves in the darkness
Maybe that’s the way of the universe

Deism
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 15 November 2009)
There’s a man inside the conglomerate
He decides on the insight of divorce
And finds a conjunction of unfreedoms
The modern world
His party washed up along the shore
Only to be rejected by its own fate
Where humanity reversed over it
To where greed feeds on idealism
In endless fear
Where to now the misogynist’s creation
But relentless defence of property and realm
And whether it be a weathered outcome
It was not his constituency
But loss of pride
To be not wise
To not know experience
To grasp at any banner
Taking sides to prevent compassion
To paradise foregone at any cost
In the hope of a smorgasboard of errant salvation
