Sliver in the sky

Black glow, broken
by a silver sickle.
Perfect sphere dipped
in gooey black. Licked
by the night dragon.

Truism

Ink marks on paper are made words by the reader.

Hello Jane Bo!

Sitting at a café in a strange city
Grants the power to stare.
Not at a person, nor a direction,
Just the world out there.

Bare shoulders on my left,
A skirt ends at the thigh.
Shorts competing in lack of length
Move on and say good-bye.

Repetitive, evasive, curious and seeking,
Glances the pony-tail.
She catches an eye and lets it go.
Perhaps she hopes and prays?

Waitress, a cashier, espresso-maker;
She can do it all.
But to come and sit at my table
Is an order too tall.

Polite to earnest, light to deep,
Her eyes changed thier tide.
As we parted, she nodded sincerely.
A sophisticate inside.

Black canyon

Café latté in the air.
"Come, sit, read a book."
Red cushions on the chairs.
Dead bird on a hook.

Covet caprice

Can desire be
arbitrary?

I know someone
who desires.
Always seeking
an object, new.

In a world
of engineers,
"I desire!"
has no meaning.
Instant question:
"Desire what?",
sounding quite
demeaning.

For, desire
sans an object
leads to pain,
anxiety.

An object gives
a goal to reach.
The joy of which
is purity.

In a world
truer, though,
to desire,
in itself,
is a trait
that must exist
to feel real,
to be real.
For happiness
to persist.

Red Alert!!

A thousand and one Arabian nights
A new excuse for every moon
One more dusk, a lax delight
Too scared to change things too soon?

As someone popular once said,
"
Enough is too much.
"

This is to remind me to get off my fat arse and do something!

Track records are excuses to stay the way you are.

Thank you lilac.

Shades of Purple clear the grey.
Scalpel sharpness cut away.

Hidden truths in plain sight
Beaten over a head, too tight.

Who will not look, will not see.
Life is not mere theory!

Not enough to know of.
Glitch at centre.
...Or lack thereof.

Tom, Dick, Ann and Sharon,
Everyone but I,
Become the centre of attention
While life passes by.

Strip away the veils of sugar.
No more walking on the shells.
Want of courage is the root.
Doom is what this path foretells.

A poor excuse
Weaklings use,
"Time needed"!
Self convinced lie,
succeeded!

Philosophy,
theory,
powerful mind,
poor labs,
bravery.
...Bravery
Bravery.

With a mind like hotel California,
It takes a lot to make a change.

Time, effort,
pain, desire
energy,
all secondary.

Won’t is safer
Won’t is milder
Risk with Won’t
Is almost nil.
To be happy,
To truly live
Won’t won’t do.
It takes a WILL!

Thank you lilac.

Truism

The understanding of what is not said, is a key factor that makes a relationship a life-long one.

"
Nothing means nothing
"
is not confined to men and women. Do you think this does not happen in a homosexual context?
