... intricate weavings unlaced,
winding steps retraced,
unleash the magic of the maypole,
god and goddess made whole...

Betrayal, like burnt caramel, lies bitter on the tongue,
Sticks stubbornly to the *** in which it was brewed;
Charred fragments of evaporated sweetness,
Tear softly at kisses I should know better than to encourage;
My mouth gritty with the sediment of discarded loyalty.

'I feel like a traitor, a phoney, a fake. But I am a hypocrite with the best intentions, and I need kissing desperately.'

...goodbye May,
hello June,
another dance,
a different tune...

'Spring being a tough act to follow, God created June.'

...write
write yourself
write yourself well...

'One writes primarily to free oneself from oneself.'

When all my battles are won and done
I will not fear the fight that was
So why worry about the swing of the sword
Before the sun of that day is even in my eyes
Why worry indeed
Every Year, Every Battle, Ends

has been appreciated
      over centuries
proven by epigrams and haikus

but the technology
      of our time
has made it mandatory
to express yourself
     in as few words as possible

in order to save
      space & time
on smartphone screens
throughout the world

no matter how transmogrified
     thinking may have become
by this enforced simplicity

complexity of thought
has gotten out of fashion
and even nations‘ leaders
have fallen back
on simple black & white
intentionally abusing
the KISS principle
