Ugliness Of The Virtual Beauty
i boldly stood on the massive boulder
Watching the small village that lies below
It seemed in the eye of the mystic seer
That time up here, is heavenly too slow
In the foggy streets, nestled houses in clusters
Leave nought to the narrowest peep to breathe
From whence chimneys smoke up very thick layers
Where the living ones, spend a narrow life so brief
With every step uphill the heaven's gates open
To the most jocund views, that earth can show
Those small brooks, rivers and grand mountain
A beauty piece of earth to...

Anything But I Love You
In a new relationship
saying the first
I love you
is like throwing yourself in the air
hoping to be caught in his strong arms
while anticipating the pain
of your ass hitting the concrete floor
Saying the first
I love you
is offering your special homemade cookies
only for them to be declined
because they're not vegan
After a certain age
saying the first
I love you
is an atheist's prayer
or a flash of expensive jewelry
bound to be stolen

I Won't Be In Today
Such low desire
to join the world today
the better solution
would be that you call in sick
and join me in bed
and we can nourish
another sickness.

Ode to my Sausage

swimming in your hot killer fat,

O my sausage,
frying proud in the pan,
disdaining the company of an egg
your browning three inches, these can
satisfry my needs & make my doggy beg.
O my sausage,
between heavily buttered breads

ha, ha, aaah, as soon to my belly it distends...
my sausage, enters, O, slicking lips, satisfried, baaarf...

The Phenomenon
Orb appears -
A horizon of tree tops,
hovering…
A stillness that stirs
Into internalized
profundity,
inmost froze -
A process in sideways
Clockwise,
Dismantled time,
dimension -
A definitive separation,
pulsation,
Singular
Heart beat -
Ponderous pondering,
observing,
insectoid orbs of become
Dark
Night, cricket silence,
stillness,
into appearance
of
Illusion?
Orb begins
to
draw
near,

If
If,
What a word
Full of connotations
It's subjective
It's open
Or it's closed
The beginnings
Or the final
Curtain call
If
I wonder how
many times this
has rolled
off tongues
In the middle of
Dilemma
and change
If
It's mighty
Even standing
As 2 letters
Wide
It's depth
Is undeniably
Endless
It precedes
and
Succeeds

Taking risks
When all is said and done,
how many of life's risks do we remember?
Perhaps those that taught us something
or led to new opportunities.
Time smooths over those that didn't work out—
we say it wasn't meant to be,
or that something better would come along.
In this - middle - stage of life,
I make time for things
that make me feel like me.
With children now more independent,
and career plodding along,
I throw myself into it all:
two bands, languages, writing, swimming;
instruments, fundraising, volunteering; pick me! ...

A team
of one
has focus
extreme,
busting
its seam,
and moving
mid-stream.
Nothing
is lost
when the practice
is cream,
and the outcome
is dancing
right
through it.
