Oh my! Oh my!
Oh *******  my
Easy! It’s simple its obvious to ask why?
A radiance of laughter
Everyone’s happy after
Looking easy although it’s hard
Feeling stunned from love’s blessed  card
Confused by simplicity
Refused by audacity
Intense feeling steering towards loves wall
Sins are peeling nearing fates fall
Ready is a never a something to mourn
Regret is a test a something to scorn

Fate’s irrational attraction
Seduction justifies peacock action
Desire masked by historical attire
Temptation dampens a furious fire

You want an ecstasy of gesture
I share your love I feel your best yeah
Like a Drawing Magnet, majestic magic or just totally tragic
We had it, we want it, let’s have it

Love is strong, never enough
Softly grooming the rough
Never forgives, finding a spiral
Showing dignity a trend filled viral

Pretend! be a crush that’s in denial
Let the end see our an involuntary smile
Age we ration with our love that a  pays a debt,
Love amazing with numb beauty please bet

Fate exception..

Being itself with no apology
Trawling his mind with its own psychology
Cruising his night with silent intent
The Beholder refuses with a hateful descent

Peace denying
Grace defying

Troubled morality drowned so deep
His Soul sold the devils to keep
No rest for the wicked as they say
The tranquil angel has had his day
Eternal destruction a new found pleasure
To die with no question at his leisure
Relief as the darkness makes him feel numb
To live on would be a costly sum
Silence a beauty with no sound of regret
“Finally” he screams finally he can forget

Frustration
Setting no odds
Denying any satisfaction
Fuelling an anxious distraction

Uncontrollable to sell
Unavailable to buy it’s freedom
Testing if you submit

Starve it and win
Feed it and lose
Share it at your peril
Keep it at your own risk

Impossible to dictate
Implausible to debate

Simply...
Except it from existence

Candle calm

Be calm
Be still
Do not fluster or suddenly move
Slowly perform the candle grip groove
For the candle flame flickers a delicate dance
I cannot afford to take a chance
A draft, a gust, an uninvited ****** will end the candles gentle trust
A Shimmer of colour as the flames bend
I fear the candle flame is close to the end
The dance plays on defying the breeze
What ever I do I must never sneeze
I Steady my hands diverting the air
Excited to prolong the candles glare
No second chances with this fair flame
I’m playing the dangerous tip toe game
My light footed journey is near to the end
I’m greatfull for my flickering friend
Stay lit
Stay bright
For I fear the night
Without you I have no sight
I must remember the candle calm rules
so the flame burns on and never stools
Be calm
Be calm
Be very candle calm

— The End —
