Claude H Oliver II Poems

Complete obliteration
Was this demolition
Three thousand humans lost
Seven buildings destroyed -
...

How do I explain
Being drawn into
Being caught up in
Being sucked into
...

Love cannot be explained
It can be described
It can be experienced
It can be felt
...

Are we moving to a higher plane
To better understand our name
The same we call our divinity
Creation aspiring to be creator
...

When we enter this vale
We have no loves
We have no hates
We have no desire
...

Feet dancing swifter than lightning
A primal scream to the soul that cannot use words
Heart-thumping and driving rhythms
Relentless energy worthy of ten
...

It consumes but is never sated
It provides warmth but destroys
It brings death but sustains life
It can flare hot or
...

Alluring, inviting - Yet resistant to embrace
Sweet intoxicant wafting on gentle breezes
What is this fragile one
Who beckons yet coyly hides her warriors
...

Frightened by the deed which was done
A deed too terrible for the light of sun
They could not say what had been done
Only utter the name of a trusted one
...

If our creations fade away
If our creations succumb to decay
If our creations are not perfection's way
Then we are imperfect gods.
