What was I thinking

 

What was I thinking 

When all seemed #achievable?

Some flicker of luck, probably,

Dreams of grandeur too,

Did I hope my life would

Allow that which others get?

Others?

 

“But there could be...” 

“Others? Last one was a poet. Tender soul. #History feeds him stories, the present’s a grief and the future’s non-existent. He strives for penury. For freedom’s sake, his emotions revolve around his words.”

“Wouldn’t life be better with him?”

Who cares

 

15 relatives, 4 friends, 1 enemy and 3 unexpected at my funeral.

The enemy stands next to my love. Hand in hand.

Would have made sense if they had killed me. 

One of those 3 did that. 

Love #unseen? A hate

Inexplicable? Is it 

Indifference? Damn!

soul-dead

 

23 politicians killed. In 8 countries.

Left without the soul. That's not in the forensic report. 

But, soul-dead they were. 

Alive but lifeless. What's new?

They left #ash sans fire.

The killer is an alien. 

Did they start with the easiest targets?

when you don't

 

Love hates #scrutiny.

Oh! Don't ask why I'm pissed off

When you don't turn up.

#haiku #senryu ?

Leaders!!!

 

I don't like leaders,

Castrated ram with a bell,

#Bellwether of hate.

Stimulation

 

Morning exercise:

#Reinvigorate love with

A helping of lust.

Double entendre

 

Love poem's ready.

Should I include #extrusion?

Double entendre?

#haiku #senryu ?

bearable lightness of being

 

These days, I heed not

#Bearable fickle nature.

Flimsy relations.

#haiku #senryu ?

the ghost

 

Can you see the ghost

Standing there at that window

Blocking not the dusk-lit corridor

Staring at nothingness

Or is it a reflection

Of me and an unsure past

That technicolour #wrapper

An empty waste not discarded?
