She left in springtime,
White globes of daisies explode—
What is left of me.

We recycle emotions each day
We try to balance imbalance
Aggregate physicality with spirit
Pit fear against loving
Just the pros and cons
Always wanting positivity
But prepared for failure
It's the conditioning
Endemic duet in fact
Yet surpasable
Once balanced you can tip the scales
Rise over what held you down
Begin to live not exist

The UN doesn't like Kim Jong Uns  posture
I was more aghast at his hair sweetie
So 1950s

A designer ******
A nip and a tuck
A trim of the curtains
A tightening up
A complementary adjustment
A tidying of bits
Matches the uplift
You had on your ****
So 6 months it took
To create the perfect ******
Only to find he's left you tonight
Watched a documentary were and I quote "I had my saddle bags lightened and my tints re aligned" only for her husband to leave her.
Scattered beneath their faces
In happy fancy colours
Lay toys
Forgotten from yesterday's
Play
But they could not see
As their eyes were painted
******
And shut
Or focused elsewhere
Inside their private dreams
Of escaping
Their masks
I am awed
Inspired
By samples
Examples of life
Emotion and truth
Condensed
Into universal moments
Or observations
Epiphanies
In a simple form
Using language
And metaphor
To carry abundances
Of images
Or rhymes
Without spilling
Meaning
Or drowning
The audience
In elaborative
Details
Snow gradually covers their garden
Putting life on hold
Inhibiting growth
For play
In fantastic crystals
They fall like feathers
Light
And yet heavy
Soon they shall both sleep
In it

He tries to think of cultured things,
Le loves Brecht, Braque and Bruch.
But when a buxom lady's there,
He cannot help but look.
Definitely NOT about me.

...I can't stand Braque and I know nothing about Brecht.
