I get lost in silly daydreams
about conquest

and most of all
becoming

a cruise ship comedian

there are things I'll never
understand

like how to get what you want in life

and all the intricate parts
of men
Absurdist word painting
You always beat me
At every game we played
So when I broke your heart
It was only natural that
You'd shatter mine
Effortlessly
Checkmate

Road closed ahead
so the digital sign says

as lightning illuminates
the orange reflective pylons

placed to force traffic
off the highway

it's weird

this lightning flashing
with snowflakes

whipping all around
More absurdism

Hello, Poetry
will you visit me
and share my muse
and my story?

Hello Poetry
I hope you'll not forget me
we've travelled so far together
so delightful has been the journey.

Hello Poetry
You have known my misery
intertwined with my joy
and so intimately kept me company.

Hello Poetry
time has spoken and I'm fading quickly
I long more than ever your consoling words
look not away,  stay, oh do stay with me!
Oh, my pretty lady
For loyalty, I am ready

With you let me walk
On a long way, long talk

Give me your hand
To have sky and land

Your name is precious
Your attitude isn't pretentious

One name holds heart
One lady is never apart

Meaning of love is you
My happiness is true

My feelings always grow
My eyes always glow

My darling, sweetie, and pretty
My life, air, and city

Your voice is a song
Loving you isn't wrong

You are the only truth
You are very couth

You are serene like nature
You are my promising future
