Ah! such a happy mess is this,
the credit goes to us all
but no one, contributed to it ,
so generously couldn't
recollect the precise recipe,
or what ingredients went in to it,
have no hope of a mess exactly like this,
or taking steps to avoid it altogether!
A happy mess is an aberration of course!
Behind every mess are muddled minds
that look for it consciously or not,
an enviable coincidence of
thoughts craving to create disorder.
Out of compulsion of some sort
they seek gratification in it,
but look at their humbleness
all they say is this,"**** happens"
our city once was
funky and beautiful
but now it's just slick

prairie dogs scatter
high above the golden field
a hawk soars alone
Haiku
above coral lips
venetian blue sadness
your luminous eyes

Time is a clock,
a face no-one forgets, a
stopwatch on a stiff wrist
beneath crisp white cotton,
a feral black cat in the woods
of adulthood that sneaks
up on you in your prime,

or something like that.
ticking
the night is young
you said to me
we'll write our song
of lovers free

with love so fierce
passion bold
my heart you pierced
soul you stole
Thank you for entering my life, making me family and creating safe harbor. I hope I am able to reciprocate in some small measure...
