Captured in rapture
Far and in between each reach
One thought caught in mind

From Dictation To Climax
*
The scene was set, the curtains closed,
the action – long and drawn out.
Midnight was approaching, and my joy lay open and empty,
right in front of my anticipatory face.
With slow hand, I lightly pinched the pen
between two warm fingers and one clumsy thumb.
Mindlessly, I felt my way around the wet ink’s slippery slopes,
making sexy doodles with the target close at hand.
Whispering sweet nothings into the fold between the lines,
I cautiously bit the end of the pen,
and waited for the word…any word at all.
The Game Without A Move
.
The playing field was leveled, but we got a round.
Initially, the game that wasn’t was meant to be fair.
We ended up with fairs,
where all the games are rigged.
The darts are dull, and the balloons are made of steel.
And yet, we like to believe we are pretty sharp.
Wherewithal Withdrawals
Humanity Next Door
.
Here
is a sight we seldom see:
union in tragedy.
Lights from the heart light up the dark,
showing the way to be.
From The Lowest Limb
*
I shuffled down the dirt road at a snail’s pace
trying to prolong my existence,
in a feeble attempt to postpone the inevitable,
my back to a howling wind that pushed me along.
The whistling in my ears muted the sneers
from a multitude of dust devils.
High noon was fast approaching,
bringing to light a tortuous certainty.
I stared down at the loosely hanging shackles
that bound me to the filth of poetic injustice.
Muttered a curse to the sentence pronounced.
Swore to the gods through the pangs of retribution.
I knew where I was headed,
and followed the footsteps of many a man most assuredly
WANTED!
Enough Aplenty
.
Leave well enough alone.
Always despise not good enough.
Enjoy enough? Well…yes, of course.
Loathe not enough.
Love enough.
.
Be thankful for those times
when you do have enough.
Tell you what…I’ve had enough of this.
Enough already. Enough! Enough!
There’s enough for everyone.
Take some, have some, it’s good for you!
.
Now, are you enough?
Or should you be more than enough?
How can you be more than enough?
That I am is simply enough.
Thus, what I am now is enough.
I am enough!
Love enough.
.
You don’t need to be more than enough.
The Universe will forever be that.
Enough is enough.
Please have enough.
Nuff said.
.
Prey Of Fate
I look for a sign faithfully,
and wonder about my destiny.
Refusing to let fate choose for me,
I make each choice individually.
.
Questioning my purpose, I ask Thee,
is it your will or mine? Respectfully,
can we compromise then? Openly?
I pray for answers with humility.
Fiery Sands Of Time
Distant messengers sent from afar
messaging the memories of antiquity
streaking hints across the darkened field of play
laying down their final truths
Knock On Good
*
No good comes to man
when he is in love with an idea.
Good ideas come
when love is in man.
