Someday

The decisions we decide,
Keep us bound together.

The promises we promise,
Keep us bound.

The choices we choose,
Keep us.

~The Shah of Athabasca

I'd like to write my best song,
Ever. No thing so casual as to
Drag out every point by point,
Detail that tedious encounters
Don't (rarely) but can provide.
In fact it's no easy song sung.
For as many reasons as there are
To write it, you see? So much to

Read for.

Have you ever feared a good thing?
I'd like to write a memorable song

Someday.

To Sincrerity

The difference between being
Discontent and being unhappy
Is that function of happiness:
Being content of discontent.

~ The Shah Of Athabasca

Passion's beauty incarnate,
Love is labour of beautiful,
And love of beauty is truth:
Dreamy thoughts can be true,
Whenever passion is sincere;
Love of beauty is the passion:
Where labour's commitment,
Not to that driving passion,
But the beauty of sincerity.

~ Victor Imari (27/10/2006)

Know Where?

Dare you remember
One of those days,
When nothing made
Sense except that,

Nothing made sense.

There is that time,
Then to take time
To make amends,

And ensure service
Where every detail

Matters; only you

Know your own:

 

Destination's worth....

 

     Victor Imari (09/06)

Measures

It's either a torpedo
Or a really big fish.

~ The Shah of Athabasca

Happiness is measured
In perceived successes.

Success takes effort,
Governed by planning

Successful tactics, to
Successful strategy to

Surpass those equilibriums,
Between virtuous patience

And all of our deadly sins.

Victor Imari (1/09/06)

Tales - Dignity Dictates

There was this story,
As goes much history:

Sometimes it's best to
Let people think through...

Without the questionably
Beneficial distraction of you

It is a tale indeed,
Of two great cities:

Something always comes
From intimacy, but offering

Solutions to thirst isn't always
Called water. Pride precludes

That whenever the worst of
Times hit, so does victory.

- Victor Imari (08/06)

Free Gods (Requiem)

 

 Whatever I write, er
 Is the truest truth, er

 

 ~ The Shah of Athabasca 

 

If I am earth,
Swept by winds,
Then I know,
Fires abound.

 

If I am wind,
Bound by fires,
There I may know,
Anonymous winds.

 

And if I am fire,
In search of air
That much I know:
Balls of fire here.

 

Free,

 

Balls of fire here.

 

 Victor Imari  (06/21/06)

For Haven's Sake

 

We are brought into
Each others universe

 

Just ripe enough:

 

Spoiled, really spoiled
Sometimes, spoilt even;

 

Or, right:

 

Just ripe enough.

 

 

    ~Victor Imari (6/14/06)

Any Leap (Lately)

    Any leap aught,
    Not be forced.

 

    ~ The Shah of Athabasca

 

From courage,
Or desperation:

 

There is an end,
To everything...

 

There is an end,
To every beginning;

 

And every end too.

 

    Victor Imari (6/1/2006)

15 Minutes (What to do)

In my life, there
Are distractions.

~ The Shah of Athabasca


Everywhere is authenticity;

Verification that progress

Requires much discipline,

To access safest potentials

When opportunities flower.


Victor Imari (5/29/06)

Soundness

    To listen is...

    To love silence

 

    ~The Shah of Athabasca

 

Sound is everything
Next to which lurks

 

Silence beyond what
Beckons, but flows

 

As if membranes
Through caverns

 

Bestowed without
Electricity even

 

Here

Any Generalist's Dilemna

     To golf or write,
     That's all right.

 

         ~ The Shah Of Athabasca

 

Always, there
Are obstacles

 

To commandeer
And overcome

 

With desire,
Duly aspired:

 

You can't
But know

 

The landscape
All too well,

 

If it hasn't
Nailed you (yet)

 

There is trajectory.

Nice Cities

A peace of the action can
Best a piece of an action.
 
    ~The Shah of Athabasca
 
My life is Nairobi.
My days are like...
 
Dar Es Salaam;
There is Peace,
 
Everywhere all
Most harmonica
 
(There must be
 a piece here).
 
    ~Victor Imari (09/04)

Look

The longer I look around,
The more I am convinced:

 

There are things to be done,
And there are other things,

 

Either to avoid, or not
Necessary. You know:

 

That extra time around
When we wonder about

 

When we make time to
Make sense of writing

 

Down our thoughts
Out loud - like?

 

 ~Victor Imari

 

 

 

 

Eli 

Generally

 

 Sometimes it's
 Probably wiser
 To pray than
 To worry later.

 

 ~ The Shah of Athabasca

 

There are good
Followers, bad

 

Followers, good
Bad followers,

 

Bad good followers,
Good bad followers,

 

You get the idea:
Followers are,

 

Generally...
Questionable.

 

 ~ Victor Imari (3/2/06)

Significance

 Bad language is a frustration.

 

  ~ The Shah of Athabasca

 

Various appearances of significance
And disappearance of insignificance
Share a unique relationship that is
Seldom but insignificant in itself:

 

Your most insignificant action might
Well save the universe of a lifetime
Of significance is measured in terms
Of time, and space. So much so, that

 

Without significance would be chaos.

A Trip to BC

 Felix, our beloved spider
 Was everywhere, and beloved
 As ever he blessed us all.

 

  ~The Shah of Athabasca

 

Jimmy the mad man was
Not there this time, but

 

His presence was: Why not?
Why not be fearless? Yet...

 

There was fear. These people
Dreaded Jimmy. Jimmy did

 

Their worst anticipation:
Better pretending to be ,

 

Better than they'd ever
Seen before their eyes

 

Landed back, and saw
The future bounce back.

 

     Victor Imari (01/06)
