No tears
A myriad fears
Mixed feelings
Heart wrenching heartbreaks.
The scourge of the 21St century
Isn't AIDS or Cancer or the likes
it's an amorphous disease in the heart
eating away bit by bit
the life out of an individual.....sad...;-(

To illuminate the
criss-crossing alleyways and paths
of which its part
Anderson M Oct 2013
On the seashore ensconced
In great walls of coral rock
a crab and his mate
interlock in a vice griplike
embrace rolling from side to side
My first attempt at
writing a tanka...

Tears as brittle
As glass cascade lazily down
Her rosy cheeks leaving behind
Indelible outstanding imprints

They reveal  a brokenness
A vulnerability  that’s so
Sweet and scary almost
In equal measure

Her eyes know not the
Splendor of a radiant sparkle
They downcast and a
Shade darker than normal

Naivety meekness and innocence
Jostle unabated within her eyes bounds
But seldom if never
Do her fears see the light of day

Her eyes speak a dialect
That would mind boggle linguists
Of reasonable repute
And render them obsolete
She undoubtedly a goddess
Of pure emotion and acute sensitivity
Eyes speak
not in concrete words and syllables
but in abstract ways
only discernible to those
with a warmth a fire
a comforting heat
in their hearts.

Can I insert?
My hyperactive hardware into
Soft supple software.
Thought I'd ask
before I bask
in your warmth just a little before dusk

A river flowing against its course
As if to floss
Its rare peculiar uncanny ingenuity
A notable case study of ambiguity.

An estranged lover unceremoniously
Literally butchering his offspring mercilessly
In cold blood
For having been dragged through the mud.

The undercurrents of change overriding
Entrenched seemingly myopic tendencies which aren’t binding
Causing irrevocably reversible state of affairs
Care not to be caught in the crosshairs.

A hopelessly optimistic romantic
Head over heel in love with the mystique
Aura of eccentricity effortlessly effused by
Her, she indeed worth a try.

Myriad circumstantial conundrums
That is cause of the inevitable humdrum
So characteristic of life
Answers a trifle few and the lackluster enthusiasm rife.
Frantically chasing the wind
hoping against hope to catch it some day
will that day ever come
so that my chase is ended
and peace finally finds eternal abode in my heart.

I literally chew
My lower lip when stifling
A smile
walking whilst flailing my arms...I smile
whilst thinking out aloud...I smile
smiling's my favorite preoccupation
this in spite of the turmoil in my mind and heart
