Got Guanxi
I Ran

She had this hedonistic Houdini nature,
She escaped from Shiraz,
Her personal Alcatraz,
She laughed as I asked;
How did you escape?

"I Ran" she said "I Ran"

She was particularly Persian,
Beautiful soul,
Perfect prose,
stunning, gorgeous,
My dreams came true,
As we ran the gauntlet between our acquaintances judgemental glare.

She walked through the door,
With shallow breath and a panting chest;
Windswept hair.
Late.

How did you get here I asked?

"I Ran"

She came so far,
To say I was her King.
Her shy Shah,
She said.
The concept of this,
Flew over my head,

As I asked where she was from,
she paused for a second

&

told me she came from Iran.

Got Guanxi
Print screen my whole being,
in the cadence of seasons changed.
Generation X's sweet heartbreak.
Strangers share the pain.
We walk the walk online,
nowadays,
in these times that are a changed.
Changing no more - subtly maybe.
The footfall of history stored,
in Google baby,
& terrabytes & ram.
A virus called.
And the rhyming stalled,
until;
Man made museums in nothing, but,
soldiered components,
smaller than the eye can see.
Nano moments,
lost in scrolled screens,
likes and comments,
compassion shared
around,
the world,
until forgotten;
fads
fade
away,
into familiarities.
Then we logged out of life,
and left reality behind smokescreens,
of PCs
HD ready, on blue days -
Blue Rays,
now smaller.
microsized.
Our brain waves microwaved.
Attention spans,
in the palm of our mouse shaped hands.
Say goodbye to the old days,
guilty as charged,
in
the strife of low battery life;
running out of charge.
had this concept inside me for a long time - still needs work x

Update - thanks for feedback on this - I've changed the title as the last one wasn't really pc.
Then I changed it back

DADDY'S  GIRL

She was daddy's girl, Her name was Mary
A pretty daisy, Mother's little baby
So sweet and innocent, The pastor's daughter
so she could only be raised proper
The story goes from when she met him
In her church clothes, Jack wore ***** denim
He was the kind of boy she was warned about
With the flashy car, Cigar in his mouth
He had the charm and liked to talk slick
She said he was just a bag of tricks
Jack held her waist and said he was no player
He said she was playful, He wanted to tame her
That's all jack had to say to get the prize
Of what Mary gave between her thighs
Principle upheld became pleasure forbidden
Her first time was another time for him
Time passed by days and months
Since Mary had her taste for lust
When her snow white was tainted with dirt
She fell sick, Jack found other girls to flirt
Then Mary got the news she had to expect
Mary was pregnant, Jack would give a threat
He asked first "Is it even me?"
She said "who else could it be?"


Suddenly, Jack turned cold and dreary
As he told her to get it buried
Mary said "you'll have to **** me first"
Jack said, "Don't tempt me, You might regret"
And then she had an upstanding in place
As a preacher's daughter, Daddy would be disgraced
So mary had to make a decision
A single mother life was never her ambition
Did she have the right to do this wrong?
And take the life of one barely young?
Yet she found herself in a clinic
The doctor promised it would be quick
Tears fell as she stood defeated
All she had was a broken heart and a dead foetus
Could she ever tell her parents?
Could she ask the lord for penance?
She wondered if she killed a him or her
Daddy's girl would never be a mother
Three days later, She wrote this letter
And left it on her father's doorstep
Before she hung herself to a premature death.

her tidal forces pull me in,
her halo soothes my soul within;
illuminating, ether's glow,
to my cheek her kisses blow;
lunar whispers draw me deep,
beckon softly, bid me sleep!

*post script.

tonight's moon, a waxing half, wears a halo full,
above a thin marine layer in my
Pacific Northwest sky.  
difficult to photograph, yet so easy to love!

Tell me there's a chance;
That elation hasn't eluded us
That love in its purest form
Dwells united in our soul

Tell me we are what we seem
More than any other
We are Stardust and the semblance of time
For it ceases to exist in our reality

Tell me the joy in our hearts
Is fated through eternity
That we are who we have always been
Forever, we will share one heart
