365 poems in 365 days.

     Sadly, I'm starting this mostly in response to the movie Julie and Julia; I know it's lame but I don't really feel like coming up with some sort of delightful explanation as to why it's alright for me, a 26 year old guy who loves dragons and Star Wars, to have a blog full of his poetry.  In fact I think this project will prove to be rather exciting and challenging, two things I need desperately in my life these days.  Don't worry I wont be writing exclusively about the escapades of Darth Maul and his hooded cronies, or about that sweet movie Reign of Fire starring the double stud sandwich of Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale.

     Hopefully I'll stick to what I've set out to do and post my daily writing here to share with you, whoever you are.

     So heres to the project!  Hopefully I make it through this year posting diligently and thoughtfully, but most of all I hope my wife doesn't leave me on account of my neurosis...... hahaha.  Without further delay here is the first post:

TIRELESS TREES

Rocketship with bulging doors, stretched windows, and rivots about to pop;
Over pressurized with the fuel for idealism
Sent to rediscover forgotten worlds
Of youth.

Where does my tireless tree grow?
It is hidden.
Where does my tireless tree grow?

The terrible feeling
Of dissatisfaction from unidentified
Word on tongue's tip
Commiserates with my heavy heart
Purchased by barely knowing
In just the tip
Where rediscovery will burst from
Alien underbrush to stop your dealings
Dead from absolute surprise.

Feigning life leads to the death
Of this mannequin longing to travel
Far from
Polymer pleasures
And back into
Boughs born of
Your Tireless Trees

THE GRAY GOD

The Gray God demands communion!
Come and sit
At the Gray God's unadorned feet.
Marvel
At the nameless
Love He inspires!

Without any definition, will come the greatest
And most definite
Definition of the meaning of life.

True awareness belies
Mans true desires to never choose
Any God
But Gray

Honest involvement requires
Tireless work to
Perfect and master
The art of the
Drone stance, to lie still in
Honor of distant greatness while your
Immature instinct calls you away.

Understand that
Love is practical
And must be processed to be
Useful.

Come
Lose yourself in the Gray God
