Egg
You give me simple pleasure,
As I bite into your inner layer.
I love you in the morning
In between a bagel,
Sometimes with bacon.

In the afternoon,
By a salad’s side you sit,
With my favorite edibles-
Arugula, red peppers, fresh peas,
Black and green olives,
Topped with chicken, cheese,
Sesame vinaigrette, and,
A few croutons for crunch.

You are an Egg, but so much more.

The texture and depth of your yolk,
Sublime and sumptuous;
Your outside solid, yet undefined;
Balancing textures with what’s inside.

Egg,
You are truly
Divine.

You were born of oceans,
glacial upheavals melting
a temperate forest of raining seas
I climbed your stair step moss
to see night stars mingle with fir trees
I watched through the night
only sleeping when stars did,
when birds came echoing
through your woods,
at first light, in mists of fog
verily I slept  
in forest song
My tears are falling down and burning the wooden floor,
In the single tiny bedroom of the house,
Where we lived and loved before,
I poured petrol everywhere,
Threw in a match and slammed the door,
I went outside,
So I could see the flames dancing in the air,
And especially to forget it all.

Smoke
filling your lungs
Red sunset
that same smoke
Floating, filling
the air
90 degrees
humid
Confusion
Loss
The hot pavement of the sidewalk.
Screams in the back of your mind,
Constant
Everybody is fighting
Just like your secret screams

5 Little Birds Sitting on the Tree.
Named A , B , C ,D and E.
All Lived in Peace and Harmony.  
Till Came another one called P.
Not much place for he could See.
So had to kick one just to be.
Saw the weakest one was B.  
So Clever and Smart was he.
Spread Lies and Hatred against B.  
After B , it was A , C, D and E.
