Is it worth it, To pay straight from your wallet, To a computer screen? Yet not feeling, The weight leave your pocket, Getting a moment to think, is this worth it?

inside are my hopes and dreams and a photo of you. i count my cash against the bills i have to pay for this month. it seems that i cannot go to you if there is yet another oil price hike. i know you will understand, the desire to see you when my wallet bleeds dry. as a salary man, i dare love you from a far distance, well-knowing inflation is highly segmenting lives. everyday, i am wearing my heart even bigger on my sleeves, because i love you today and there is not slowing it down.

wallet
By the window she wavers, elegance and grace unfolding from the movements of her gloved hands. Animated red lips move with skill as she tells a tale that would make sailors blush. Eye's flashing and dashing like the lighthouse in the middle of a storm. A whirlwind of blonde hair who had fought with the wind sits awry on her head. I watch as her story unravels, and the air around her buzzes with her electric voice. I make the mistake of escaping with her wallet, and am left to wonder, how her story ends.

_Subway skip jive, Off and on, Up and over, Been and gone. Mind your wallet, Watch your step, Take your seat, Turn right, lean left. Token trav’lers, Quick, quick, slow, We’re underground, And on the go._

wallet watch testicles spectacles cash cell phone (yes the inshallah one) bottle of water hairbrush with remaining vanity attached, personal technology baggie (earbuds, variety of charging cords etc.) loose change in order to drop & annoy yourself sunglasses! and something else...mmm pocket tissues! skin and bone, all flavors and multilayers, a language of music only you hear, the pumping station internal, the antacid pills after that burrito; and that strangely named thang called libido? (lipidio?) your teeth your smile, your shyest guile, to catch that lady’s hopefully reciprocated pearly whites delight, pen and pad to record being a sad and mad good lad, a swiss army knife if the feeling tube should breakdown, your tiny little bottles of inspiration perspiration and perspective, oops, unlabeled? uh oh the list to do and the list to add to the to do list and good heavens, a serious writing utensil for serious thoughts and the last but should be first, the house keys!! to do it all again tomorrow **** forgetting something! oh yeah! a kiss upon thy cheek before you go...

Spending it to make it? Now that’s money Consumable and hoardable folly’s quest yet necessary evil How much is enough? Too little? Too great? Does anyone deserve it can you earn it and be happy or is it all together absurd?

wishful thinking keeps me drinking the cherry wine that costs less than the wallet i now keep in my front pocket ever since it was stolen, fool me once. i palm my eyes and rub my craning neck. sore from keeping watch. blessed to be cursed i feel at times as its so hard to write with no perspective. and if i keep these words in they might **** me some day. what an honor to be king for a night. all ive ever yearned, to see his sword pierce my belly at rest, at peace.

She was easy on the eyes mesmerised by her allure. Momentarily we touched delicately. Stealing my heart as well as my wallet.

No dream of a dream (A Haiku)
Who is a man? Man is? A man is a beautiful part of God's creation A man carries cash. A man looks out for those around him — woman, friend, stranger A man is wallet A man is effort A man is good at his job A man owns up A man looks out for children. Makes them stand behind him.

Are You Man Enough?
Candle lit room Illuminated by moon light A faint smile from the unknown lady of the night *I found her wandering in the boulevard She's smiling for a person with unsatisfied carnal desires* She undresses and starts spreading sheets above us Faint scent of her hair A beauty, no doubt *I listened to her stories with a lit cigarette How she used to be an honor student* She undresses me and kisses me She knows where to lead her mouth and hands She moves- making me quiver with her damp thighs *I will never know your name. Only the shared cigarette and your story* She slides it in- Moaning, scraping, pulling, tugging. I lost myself in ecstasy falling in my vivid dreams in the hedonist dimension of the universe. *She grabbed my wallet and ran. She opened it; and saw a picture of herself in my arms as a toddler.*

Damp Thighs
You, with your supple and brown leather I, with my gaze fixed on my father’s pocket You, peeking out from its corner like a Child playing hide and seek in a desolate ally I, like the kidnapper, keeping an eye on your Fragile movements, waiting for you to stumble Into a dark corner and into my sinister embrace So that I could get my ransom inside you, the Little green strips of paper you contained Toys, chocolates and kites my father wouldn’t get me. You, with your expensive sheen, attracting me To yourself like a gold ring attracting an eagle Only to disappear as soon as my father left For work and you, containing an enigmatic exchange For little candies the definition of bliss to six year old me. I, with my naïve mind thinking why I would get less Candies and goodies when you would be frail And devoid of those thin green leaves. You, in the possession of my elder brother now I, eight year old me, wondering if your gauntness Made my father a dear departed. You, I didn’t unravel the enigma of your long Green leaves until I was thirteen and you Resided in the back pocket of the Khaki trousers My brother used to wear, Now Tattered just like your old unkempt skin. Dear Old Wallet, my dead father’s wallet I liked you better when you were fat and fit, Supple and shiny, brimming with coins and green leaves. And when I  was unaware, little and innocent thinking You were a miracle for I only wanted toys back then only to realize I need a lot more For I am now cold,  fatherless and bankrupt But you are empty and thin, just like my Dying mother.

Love is like a wallet, When empty it has no value, When full it holds everything you need.

"Love" Metaphorical
