Humpty Dumpty



Humpty Dumpty sat upon a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Threescore men, then threescore more, can not place Humpty as I was before.

Place me as I was before, as I was before, was before.

Pieces of me scattered throughout the land. Pray tell, what sordid tidbit is this I hold? Do I stuff it back in its proper place? Does it later become entitled I?

Who is this "I"?

Inauthentic barbarian, casting shadows upon a peaceful respite in the sun! I am Sun, how are you brother Moon, sister Gaia? What dull ashen pallor this impostor doth offer thee. Angst, carried in a wet linen sack, spills melodically upon thy shoe. Drip, drip, drip, dancing to this tune, I wail for scales of justice to tip. Wait! In whose favour shall mother justice lean? What sense of reason, truth, or love is meant to pour from her bent chalice? Wicked is this beverage, playing itself as wine, tasting of acetum.

Drunken, spent, sated with fear.

Swirling, cream cuddles into a cup of illusion, darkness embraces the light. Haunted by memories of glory unknown, splendor denied. Doeth this specter follow in the night as charm or curse? Apparitions of the true self, keeping pace as this mortal coil unfolds.


Quietly she treads, nary a trace be discerned. Skillfully woven veils of deceit keep her hidden from my brethren. Silken lies touch us daily, torment inflicted, fear rampant, opportunity lost! Whence we see no red, we assume no injury has befallen us. How then do we account for these hardened scars?

Masses cry I cannot see! She is coveted by scant few, known to a pittance, in sacred commune with none. Standing radiantly, a wallflower in wait, her card unblemished, wisdom untapped, love unbridled.  Holding my hand, she whispers the truth.



 "Folly lies grievously with desire."            



"Brilliance is a choice, not a reward."





Take this balm brethren, be brave as you walk in darkness.

In Lak' ech, tomorrow is ours....

  4. You dance with your words! it's almost as if the words are acted out in theatre... love the way you write!
    'When I had nothing more to lose, I was given everything.
    When i ceased to be who I am, I Found myself,
    When I experienced humiliation and yet kept on walking.
    I understood that I was free to choose my destiny!'
    Blessed be Chris...keep writing!
    ps:just wanted to say i really love your profile picture-awe inspiring! I love The Sun! =)

  5. Namaste sister Bani, thank you for your most kind words. I am no artist that is for sure. However, when inspiration hits my keyboard, the words feel exactly like paint falling off a brush. Life and love breathes on a blank canvass.

    In Lak' ech sister Bani, living to love...

  7. this post is pure poetry, dear brother! i love the these lines --

    " Masses cry, I cannot see! She is coveted by scant few, known to a pittance, in sacred commune with none. Standing radiantly, a wallflower in wait, her card unblemished, wisdom untapped, love unbridled. Holding my hand, she whispers truth."

  11. I love the description of painting with words..some artists use real paint, some use words and some use music...I am in awe of all of them!..the art is the thing that is crying to be born, no matter the medium..your writing reminds me in some ways of Jim Morrison's stuff...you are a real artist, that's for sure! I'm glad to be here.
