Of Black and White

Without the bitter there is no sweet
Nor is there winning without defeat
When using winged philosopher
The membranes are but metaphor

And though they carry to the blue
They are not real they are not true
They only lift the mind from earth
A spirits flight of mental birth

A fantasy of willows bright
A philosopher’s candlelight
That sweeps into the Eros zone
And sits upon the dreamers throne

We are sand that sifts the glass
To span the time and hours pass
To play the game of dust and grime
As breakfast for old father time.

It tickles me to write this bit
This sickle of a pendulum wit

Poetry is not an opinion expressed...
it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound
...or a smiling mouth.
