Philoetry ... "Touchless Stuff"

Philoetry - philosophical abstractions in the guise of rhyme. A hybridized mixture of a Haiku, a Limerick and Koan

“Touch-Less Stuff”
{Cintamini}

Unto … ‘undone … freedom from “de-sire”
‘held out till the end … soaking wet … ‘or in the fire
Burnt out ever … ‘rust … courtesy-ever … ‘scourge
living lush … ‘and dearth … ‘whistling along to dirge

Milk-maiden ‘dripping … lusty-love ‘a lying …
‘on down with the prince … the conjugation of complying
Beauty-ever … ‘sober … down to task and chore
‘lest karma out of dharma … lost in ever more

The payment of cost … ‘of dues ‘but unforgiving
‘each others bargained chip … ‘merely stingy with the living
Pied-pipers peaking prance … ‘sterile of all style
happy to a fault .. ‘prayers-of-naught … though all the while …

Surfing the sun … ‘though underfoot ‘but tickles
lava-licking flickers … ‘down through time it all ‘but trickles
Bubbling brews … ‘of molten earth that flow’eth
toasts unto the wind … ‘in favor of what one know’eth

Meadows of muse … ‘in forests un-tame
‘pioneering wrath … in the name of ‘mere blame
Sequence of the hour … ‘tick-tock timing breath
lost in all our knowing … ‘proving all … ‘but life and death

Scholars of the notion … ‘in the name of only script
believers in the potion … {Soma] … ‘swearing of life beyond the crypt {faith}
Of beckon … ‘and of seize …. significant as any law
civilized as any ‘ole circle … ‘indebted to only the fall

Free as any folly … ‘the fantasy we cheer
back and forth we volley … ‘creatures of craft … ever-queer
Death unto the dying … ‘lest living of the life
choosing ‘merely choice … ‘as if destined by the strife

Butchered by the burden … ‘bitten by the smite
complaining ... ‘or complying … in the name of privileged right
Calls out from the Heavens … ‘whispers ever dear
summoned to the sermon … ‘by a luck forever sheer

Salvation via sanction … ‘fevers of desire
blessings … ‘lest the mercy … or just mingling in the mire
Incentives to aspire … ‘motives to the motion … {karma}
‘at junctures of inquiry … ‘Buddha’s of the notion

Demons of death … ‘lively and ‘a kicking
the ass of those who linger … ‘the time bomb’s all ‘a ticking
Poses of the prancing … ‘forewarnings of the host {God}
golly-gee … ‘a whizzing … dust to dust till toast {mortality}

Buoyancy … ‘and burden … borrowed ... 'on-the-flop
courted by the sorrow … ‘skipping to the hop
Flubbed-up … ‘floundered … flustered … ‘in forests of the night
cities of the jungle … ‘creatures of the plight

Feeding frenzy fidget … ‘each others bait and prey
‘but ponders in cave … on some other way … {hermits / monkhood}
Fishing up a storm … ‘hardworking in a chair … {fruitful contemplation}
the Zen of tock-less tick … “not doing” with such flare

Poised beyond the pithy … ‘elegance … and of grace
‘distorted by the measure … keeping up with pace
A wish for worried chance … ‘a hope for senseless feeling
the innocence of love … ‘now down to wheeling-dealing

Families ‘a threatened … by taxes that bleed
governed by sheer folly … ‘while making your liberty plead
The powers of possession … the seduction of the masses
the pointlessness of point … ‘as if distracted up our asses … {dis-information}

Hocus pocus focus … ‘brothers far and near
sisters of the potion … ‘the beauty of truth … ever-sheer
A vision … ‘and a sign … mystery to the motion
thoughtful sense of wonder … ‘just waves and waves of ocean

Basking in the halo … ‘whirling dervish swirl
mendicants … ‘and the scouts … muscles to unfurl … {warriors}
Havens of the happy … ‘karma of the soul
Dharma of the spirit … ‘till the fading of the scroll
