Sahil
Let me sink like the fallen Dove
Let me sink in the ocean of your love
Let me sink in those deep brown eyes
Let me sink in those beautiful skies
Let me sink in those light pink lips
Let me play with your fingertips
Once spent …
there’s no tomorrow

Once spent …
all time is rife

Once spent …
your fortune tendered

Death’s currency
—is life

Viewed from a distance
—we all fade to insignificance

(Dreamsleep: November. 2023)
I'm  living on a Bubble

Floating, flying free

Each wind I change direction

High above the sea

Colors burst around me

Just  rainbows you'll agree

Loving my existence

Fleeting

as it may be
The older I get the faster time flies. Trying to pack in as much happiness as I can

A honest belief,
  Can bring relief,
    While causing
       grief.
        May effects,
         be brief.
Words are the enemy
till sparingly used

And weighted with meaning
beyond p’s and q’s

They serve to release us
with imagery plain

Expanding the message
—in pointed refrain

So many of you with that
        10watt mass in your head.
Can generate so much,  
          out there, to be read.
Garnering likes, loves, and
          repost, that spread.
Making me post, my attempts,
          with a sense of dread.
Hopefully pushing my own
           wattage to a "nine."
I can manage, to generate,
            a usable line.
Afraid my watts, don't know
            what's unless I rhyme.
Again I'm afraid, I've wasted,
            everyone's time.
