Travail of Love
Mother with the rod,
Father with reproof;
Let not your love spare for my crying.
God with consequence of choice and habit.
To leave me chained to fate, by myself.
Aug 29 · 38
No One's Got It All
A moment of doubt and pain
Something begins to take, once you figure it out
Patience taken by an obvious outward show
Mystery, always ends up misery
Fate, always deals a straight flush
Hollow convictions cloud the soul's yellow glow
Evil is a prerequisite to evolving for better or worse.
Evil is Live spelled backwards
The more desperate we cling to life the darker our state of mind.

All things to All men
A villain is whomever tells the truth in an accommodating and tolerating society.

Conclusion
Ignorance makes people bitter.
Knowledge/power makes people arrogant.
Wisdom makes people indifferent.

Epiphany
All is more complementary than competitive.
In the beginning, at the end
Finite pain, eternal pleasure
Finite pleasure, eternal pain
Everything works out in the end, even badly.

The end...
Transcendence
Adding life to days; not days to life
Neither bending nor breaking
Till it happens to you
Take care

Eulogy
Love is real as death.
Respect to persons is an illusion.
Strong enough to resist, yet too weak to prevail.
Our innocence is ephemeral.
Jan 2023 · 101
Red Rose Romance
Conflict without compromise.
A secretive anxiety and horror; from which springs the flower of love.
Our coloured canvas.
Shades of crimson, Shades of scarlet.
Jan 2023 · 104
Heartless
Wanting it where I crave it.
I didn't give myself away.
I imagined giving myself away;
No, I imagined myself taken away.
Jan 2023 · 112
A Grain of Truth
Polar opposites Attract
Different scares everyone
Terror surfaces love

Flocks of plumage together
Familiarity soothes fears
Certainty surfaces indifference

Desire follows arousal
Happiness is voluntary submission
Violation surfaces hate
Jan 2023 · 100
Corrosion of conformity
Born unto trouble
My rainbow is overdue.
Girding up my ***** before demands.
My help is in me.
Oct 2022 · 116
Don't try
The temerity to flee moments of stillness
Bingeing on decolletage, bingeing on derriere
Time subduing restraint without tantrums
Sentiment moving us, sentiment consuming us
Sep 2022 · 256
The Virtue of Selfishness
My younger sister is dead
She never wore pink or red
Always crawling, walking and running ahead
Intoxicatingly self made
Taking till the very end
Aug 2022 · 207
Final Ascent
Ascending to Fall, Descending to Rise
Good is not all good, bad is not all bad
Gravity weighing down on us to the salty seas
Jul 2022 · 102
The mystery girl
Lurking above the storm, lurking beyond the night
Orange to your peeking dawn, orange to your peering dusk.
I'm your sunshine.

Eye in the midst of a hurricane, Anchor to a troubled ship.
Blue to my curious sky, red to my raging passion.
You're my rainbow.

Beyond all the chaos, complementing the blue sky.

Heartbreak
Broken love promises
Tears overflow and dampen happiness
Hate from the hurt
Mar 2022 · 123
10/10
A fierce arsenal of beauty to which words cannot convey
Striking from the highest realm of the heavens
A heroine insearch of a taste of defeat
Mar 2022 · 105
Modern Fairytale
Selfishness apt to inspire love
Broke another promise, broke another heart
Surrender to enchantment
Carrying on the way the wind blows
Hold on loosely and don't let go
Everything is going how its meant to be
Checkout anytime and never leave
One way ticket, red light nightmare

Mother
Mother should I run for president?
Mother do you think she is good enough, for me?
Mother do you need to be so high?
Mother should I trust the government?
Oh! Isn't it just a waste of time.
From a Song by Pink Floyd titled Mother

In and On
Love lurks in life
Flesh fumes in flames
Weight weighs on will
Pain pulses in people
Feb 2022 · 121
1979
Beast of burden,
taking what they can give;
priceless because it's not for sale .
Jan 2022 · 223
Torn
So much time in futile searches
The role you play in your failure
Love's focus of attention is today
Yesterday don't matter, if it's gone
Everything will come to you eventually
Jan 2022 · 107
Somebody to Love
Ejecting with all passion of a gushing river
The rage of the heart against the soul
A lot of willpower, self control and practise
In making the way home, in the best way known
Indulging necessities to not gratify animal passion
Dec 2021 · 107
The Last Laugh
Mediocre attention lusting covets, be consoled that nothing will last.
Truth is singular and its versions are mistruths.
Always complaining, Always explaining
A river gushing with all its passion
Action is a common place, right action is not.
Dec 2021 · 112
Hey You!
I see you since I was nine
You are yours, I am mine
It has been seven long years
My sky is grey and full of tears
Nov 2021 · 272
All my heroes
A dream stirs my soul
Truth that loved you
Wrecks my heart
Numb is all I am
Thank you.

Here
Around the globe, Somewhere too deep
Hope shackles hapiness
The lion runs to run again

Wild Wander
I wander far and out, searching for the fix.
Sipping their remedy, lost and loved.
I found myself at the bottom of bottle.
Some hanging by the noose and I wander and wonder.
None of it matters, if your questions aren't answered.
Aug 2021 · 283
Out Of The Cellar
Too many slaves in this world
Seeking truth in sacrifices
Tearing souls to pieces
No truth in love
All truth in solitude
Sad screaming scenery
A sign of victory
Aug 2021 · 137
Choice
Attraction isn't choice, but love is and it is for everyone.
Aug 2021 · 252
The One
Make a plan and work your plan
To marry your fan
To be their Liverpool
To never walk alone
Jul 2021 · 310
Getting What You Become
Confrontation is useless, Consequences are not.
Jul 2021 · 285
Death by Rock and Roll
All experiences pursued, withered the soul
Losing the leaves to the dirt
All experiences welcomed, strengthened the whole
In the wind, In the rain

The Shape of You
Unable to perceive the shape of you.
I find you all around me.
Your presence fills my eyes with light.
It humbles my heart, for you are everywhere.
From the movie The Shape of Water

A Poet's Memory
The encroaching swirl of passion.
A frozen image of two.
The lesson is a sad, lonely one.
Grinning on the way to the gallows.

Hurt People Hurt People
Self contentment amounts to nothing.
Emotionally unavailable, emotionally immature.
Falling in love from one look.
Jun 2021 · 221
Seeing You Seeing Me
The switch snaps, the lighter clicks.
A serene blue flame sprouts endlessly Forfeiting our dignity to instant gratification.
Jun 2021 · 155
The Frame
Easy sailing in the breeze
The days are filled with sun
The current slowly taking me there
Looking out to know.
Firm like a tree to grow.
An addict without.
A change of scenery.

Prisoners
We are chaos.
State taxed for existing.
Never committing, never saying no.
Free men surrounded by walls.

Champagne On A Yacht
A stenching love
Sinking down darkest depths
Scared and mutilated
Awaiting to escape the nightmare
To nothing as before birth
May 2021 · 156
To Be...
Some run from, some run to
Running to escape ourselves
Running towards ourselves
To be fearless, be fear
To be love, let go
To be free, be death and there's nothing left to die
May 2021 · 255
Double Standards
Knowledge without experience.
Blind beasts corrupted by desire.
Pearls to the swine.
No one's slave, no one's master.
Unto others as unto you.
Lies screaming to be celebrated.
May 2021 · 123
Wealth
We are all rich in time.
A possession not to keep,
but to spend wisely;
with which anything is possible.
May 2021 · 196
Knife
The beauty of life,
Is in acknowledging everything and not depending on much.
A moon in the night sky.
An island in the midst of nowhere.
May 2021 · 183
Happiness
Is the pursuit of a humble mountain,
without a ******.
Like Aang and the four elements.
Like Son Goku and the Autonomous Ultra Instinct.
May 2021 · 125
Let Go
I was onto something,
that something was onto me.
A thin line between addiction and control.
Apr 2021 · 131
Lost in Static
Far too late, be my guest.
Mired in the thick of thin.
Be dumb, be doomed.
Peace by the pistol.
Apr 2021 · 139
What's your Price
Money
Loyalty
Freedom
Whatever it is, let it be high.
Space we can recover, time never.
