Darwin amorous

By Adagios

Darwin amorous


Every bit of all I am
And all I've been
Decay to sand
Every thought and queried truth
Recalled, recorded
Moldered fruit
Every painful learned response
Of weapons and of 
Martial art be lost
Be lost to ravaging wraith of time
Be claimed as prize by reapers scythe
Be unmade as cytoplasmic design
Be returned to clay from whence Devined
Be recycled as closed systems brine
Be pardoned from being as forgiven crime

The unmade fabric of a being
Unraveling and unraveling
And effecting all within surround
No airy firmament, no solid ground
No anything, all things now unmade
The Stars ceased burning as Cinders flame
The heavens still just lifeless earth a rock
Cold and unmoving, still and dark


Yet still, the echo of what once was
Would gather upon the rocks my love
Reform as evolutional clay
Of the primordial stew form into shape
And begin the labored task 
Being all that I once lacked
First Small and feeble bound by will
Then strength of limb and mind distill
And over the eons subsequent
Become the visage of eloquence
Endowed of all that you once sought
Evolved, with every answer wrought
World remade, before the next synchronous Big Bang
And in this world renewed of hopes
Belief that I'd match fate with growth
And remake all just that you'd be
And being choose to walk with me
This is my true Darwinian thought
Thinking of you, I'm all that's not.

    Pretty gnarly dude! I am one of the world's leading fans of rhyming & I loved the imagery you were able to paint w/ those rhymes. Keep channeling this side of AD!

  • A former member wrote: This is definitely an attention grabber of the best kind. I really enjoyed the visuals you created with this write, and I think that this should be a future Poem Of The Day. Reb:).

    Natural selection and speciation, survival of the fittest, or the fattest wallet. The nest builders have standards to keep for the brood engendered in little girl fantasies, surrounded by white picket fences perhaps. Be all you can be A. - sometimes it's what we lack. Cheers for this ultimate truism that seems to ask the price of perfection, when in an unspoken reality it could just be "paralysis by analysis". Sally forth and cheers! - Dan (probably reading too much into this)

    Hey A. - just stopped-by to say that with your new screen pic, this now seems like a tribute akin to eternal love perhaps. BTW - the skeletal embrace was a photo taken from the excavated ruins of Pompeii as I recall. Cheers again! - Dan

    The rhythm and flow is quite brilliant - no pushing force of words to get your message across ... Seeking solace is what I grasped as I read this ... Enjoyed.

    Brilliantly crafted. The first stanza feels strong like a proclamation before the rest of the poem takes a bit of a lighter tone. This has a classic feel to it and an excellent use of rhyme. Very well done.
