life's ladder

(l)ife~

...Ladder of life and curriculums climbed
books and books your mind find
be it a search for finals or test
or perhaps an inner journey's quest
prose and rant in multiple compound
quench a hunger for something profound
a poets moments are golden signs
bells toll several times
a day's circle rhymes

l(i)fe~

...If cats were kings and men were words
the volumes would fuel a nights fire
for laughter and song have been long sung
miasma and amber's ascend in night's desires
a life can not live in a paragraph's limits
sail across virgin islands and wreaths
to come to this point where you sit there and read
from the journey of your fathers seed
you receive the reward ... for speed

li(f)e~

...For ashes to ashes and dust in lust
tornado of emotion cometh he does
for night follows day
and wheat fields dry
every soul tears
a loved one's bye
count blessings more than coins
for an affinity of ruin
but budded a flower
that bloomed for awhile

lif(e)~

...Everyone feels the passion to yearn
not everyone feels the need to learn
but it's easy to figure out the sun will burn
filling time with quests for needs
carefull not to crush or bleed
flourished from a romantic breath
the desire to love
grasps us like a hunger
the frenzy of urges, passion and strife
gifts to those who still have ...
which will make those who will have ...

life!
