Fatigue
written July 16th, 2021

Fatigued
I swim
up through the years

overshooting
into a desert dry
future wasteland

so I dive
back down
trying to reach

today.

Another haiku?
Rather not, so some real poetry,
I know it's all to much for you,
A bit too much dwelt, all said too freely.

So, a sting in the heart here, some said there.
A goodbye here, a hello there,
I'm repeating there, so I'll stop here.
A block for a while, unblocked, and I smiled.

How long is a poem, about, for, and to
A girl, and you, but, true,
I'm still overshooting,
you're still not ready.

So, here is another, haiku about you,

Your eyes, Amber
Smile, now gone, when there, bright
All of you, a sight

Favorite movie star
Very civil all at par
Invisible ego plays below par
From the pages of an Elmore Leonard novel an all out war

Reason for conflict
Where none benefit
Cannot be confined in logic
Relationships broken very tragic

Discernment of the thought
Refinement in taste
Both questioned in haste
Scabbards thrown in all consuming rage

The first 3 moves of a Shindy
Mimics that of a Shogi
Predicted and stolen a march
Bruised esteem hanging for dear life

Below the belt attacks
No more fair or unfair
Trading insults at random
Depths delved never could fathom

Keeping the powder dry
Packing heat twisting the knife
Ace in the hole to go nuclear
Going for the jugular

Fallacy in desecrating the individual
Pulling out all stops and irrevenrential
No more his position or stance
Knees knocking together heart rate faster than horses at a race

Wanting someone eat out of you hand
Spilling your water only to slip on it
Freudian slip overshooting the mark
Hitting the target but missing the point

Movie Music or Sports
Political ideology or its flag bearer
Keep it in your heart else
Lifelong  bonds go on parole

Shouting at the top
Against something
That you would spend
A lifetime defending
If cause not so deep to
Die with your boots on
Hear the other opinion and simply Walk On
