4895 Songs of an Old Forest: Melody 6 1 [by S. David][art by Vladimir Vasilyev]

Does anyone still sing
Their songs once
Hundreds roamed
The woodlands
Once herds roamed
The lands of the Don
Once theirs was
A melody of the Old
Forest but man
Man does not allow
Man does not reproduce
In season but at all times
And it was men
Who cut down the Forest
Took the land from
The trees the Old Forest
Is almost gone disappeared
The Old Gods were not
Strong enough
Smart enough
They turned
They fled
After today
Who will sing
The song carry
The melody
Of the Old Forest

7830 Day Chasing Night
[by S. David][art by Hans Bernd Zimmermann]

You don’t understand
You just don’t
You have to have
A rational
Explanation
For everything
Everything must
Be dissected
Explicated
So what
If your answers
Are true
Mine are too
I choose
To individualize
To personalize
To give each
A name
An image
A mystique
So true
Witness
Day
Chasing night

7995.1 Omen for the Millennium
[by S. David][art by Hans Bernd Zimmermann]

Never noticing
Odin’s owl
Athena’s owl
Coming to roost
Rather still
Pondering
Meditating
Choices
Choices
That will
Set the pattern
Learning
Nothing
From
The wisdom
Of the ages
Starting as
An almost young
Child naked
To the world
Omens
Coming from
Ignoring from
In-turning
Blindness
To the few
Strengths
Offered by
The past
Woe for
The future

Epigraph:
“Mankind’s future on earth will be
decided by the choices we make
between ignorance and wisdom”

8851 In the Fairy Tale District
[by S. David][art by Jennifer Delilah]

Take a trip
Yeah a trip
A Jefferson Airplane
Great Society
Timothy Leary trip
Away from
The city into
The Fairy Tale
District
Get there
Listen to
The fantasies
Of pre pubes
Look to
The white unicorns
Know they disappear
When the times
Change
When the rites
Of passage
Are passed
Are past
It happens
No more petting them
Memories
Linger though
Now they
Become
Fantasies
Images
In the mind with
Innocence
Left behind

4379 Songs of an Old Forest: Melody 1 2
[by S. David][art by Vladimir Vasilyev]

It was only
The propaganda
The false histories
Of the battle winners
That call us and
You believe us
Barbarians
And now the last
Old temple is found
And now you see
The brilliance
The artistry by
Which we worshipped
Our Gods and now
You see the Reality
The Holy Stone
The Holy Ellipsoid
The Sacred Egg
Which opens other
Realities to which
We fled from our
Foes We Are Not Dead

8850 The Leprechaun from Brooklyn
[by S. David][art by Jennifer Delilah]

If you want to
If you are derived
So you can recognize
So you search
Yeah they made
The journey for sure
The great Potato
Famine for some
They left too
There was
More room here
More room to
Disappear
But one
He had ties
Strong ones
And there were
Enough
Enough
To do right by him
So he stayed
Even as
The population
Boomed
He stayed
Here alone
And did not
Play with pots
No rainbows
Leaves town
Once in a while
Still he comes back
But when he goes
He’s known as
The leprechaun
From Brooklyn

8436 Two
[by S. David][art by Sorina Iuganu]

Finding
Meeting
Learning
Each other
Two people
Two personas
Seeking
To become
Real
To become
One
But two
Searching
Each other’s
Eyes
For
Epiphany

8428 Kiss Me and You’ll Know How Important I Am
[by S. David][art by Piet van den Boog]

The sex
A pretext
She wanted
She wanted
As he
Just as he
Both wanted
Both ecstasy
And immortality
For the clay
Upon her
Nude body
Fate and
Defiance
Destiny and
Transcendence

8410 Bohemian
[by S. David][art by Daniel Victor]

But life
Is a puzzle
Meant to be
Examined
Closely and
Lived fully
So
Over
Absinthe
Coffee
I ponder
I debate
Thinking
Away and
A different way
Than others
And the noise
Of their preachings
The commonplace
Of their living
Is not for me
Is not for me
I shall let
The world hear
I shall set
The world afire
With my
Thoughts
Words
Life
Different yes
Different

7703 Pissed Off Cub Scout
[by S. David] [art by Joe Heaps Nelson]

Cute little bugger
Momma’s pride
And joy even
When he’s pissed
He still throws
Temper tantrums
At nine but his
Folks and there
Are two are trying
To civilize him
Put him in
The cub scouts
To teach him how
To work and play
With others learn
Values and new
Skills teamwork
Yet he has his
Moments and
This is one but
He is cute eh
And he no longer
Tortures his
Baby brother
