Dawn Treader
A man in a tailored suit
A man eating rotten fruit
One divorced three wives
Two contrasting lives

One is a lawyer
The other a beggar
I’m sure you think of the two of them,
One is a hundred times better

He’s in fine garments
The other’s worn and tattered
One’s dreams came true
The other one’s shattered

But none of that matters—why?
How ‘bout you ask us, the maggot and the fly
Because in the end —and we say this without shame
A vagrant and a lawyer in death both taste the same
Death is the great equalizer.

Hadrian Veska
To love, one must first learn
To know and love themselves.
Without this understanding,
There can be no such thing as love.
Only simple infatuation.

A desire to fill the empty space,
Where self should reside.

2 hours 10 minutes to Christmas.
I couldn't care less.

The magic died in my childhood.

Now its a way for emotional sentiment
That pushes mass consumerism

"Buy your gifts and buy your toys
From here its the best"

Christmas is coming

But I...

Couldn't care less.

George Krokos
A poet is an artist who paints images with words cast on the canvas of our mind
and uses expressions to make a point or evoke feelings of some particular kind.
A poem then is the handiwork of a poet who is usually inspired or otherwise,
being the medium through which he or she reveal themselves to peoples’ eyes.
From "The Quatrains" ongoing writings since the early '90's.

The mellow scent of pine
Beams of moonlight through the trees
Quiet and still
Something enigmatic hangs on the air
The night lies unknown
And what may be has not yet come

Heartbreak is a funny thing,
it can lead you to discover new things about yourself,
for better,
or for worse.
Old but gold

I am so afraid of not knowing how to explain this loving, gentle madness I feel for you,
that I choose to stay silent, invisible,
nothing to you, forever.

Isn't it funny that
Hookers and religious activists
Stand on parallel corners
Of the same street?

If only things are not complicated so I can put them in words as easy like a poem
If only hopes stay with patience to comfort me in this room
If only dreams are not stars so I can easily hold them closer to my heart
I wish the present and future smiles will be one and never be apart
~~
Sorry if the title is clichè
Only dead fish go with the flow
