Divine asset to every living
Gift to every  being
Life makes every being
Life keeps all being

Hold your life,keep your life
Give your life, find your life
Loosed life;lost life
Caged life,costs lives

Live to give;give to live
Life of giving;life of living
Leave to give; cease to live
Life,a rare gift
 
Life;uncommon treasure
Live  the word;change the world
Life;gift of gifts,
Live  fully!Live carefully!

Be the shade,
The shade where souls rest.

Be the shade,
The shade where succor breeds.

Be the shade,
The shade where families roost.

Be shade,
The shade for the lonely.

Be the shade,
The shade for better tales.

The leaves
were lime green -
it was a pretty colour

They swayed
and danced and talked
in the wind

Life was
beautiful for them
and because of that

it was beautiful for me

Love potions
rational
compromised
by
emotional
bursting
from both eyes.
There are apparently science and chemistry
involved in love and tears
?

I can hear
Them playing,
The devil inside
from the carnival
down the street.
All the bleak
eyes wandering
through the
empty crowd,
looking for
love or dope;
something to change
their perception.

                                Is Love Delivered by UPS?

            Wishing You and Yours a Happy and Holy Prime Day

All the empty boxes won’t go away
So I’m burning them outside after the rain
Automatic gunfire from the next road over
And is there a meaning in all of this?

We have mail-order cameras to protect
All the mail-order things that we don’t need
From the neighbors firing off rounds at dusk
Maybe at a menacing metaphor

All wants are now delivered to a home address -
And is love delivered by UPS?
To paraphrase E. M. Forster's "The Machine Stops," "O Alexa! O Alexa!"

Don’t play
with the real people
in your life
they really are
rare

I died.
I faded.
Like a dream, forgotten after wake.
I lost myself and you lost me too
Non-existent to you
To myself a ghost
I died.
But still I live,
Waiting to be revived.
Ignorant to the changes around me
A jaded memory, A forgotten name
I died.
Inside and out.
