faith

 

I would like to chase the sun.

But each step on the icy ground

gets shorter and slower.

Till there’s a still longing.

There’s the company of trees.

Shorn of leaves, with green mossy sides,

age-old wisdom, helpless #fate.

Call it, maybe, His ways.

It is tougher still, not to let winter in.

Within where there’s no cover

but faith which reason shuns.

Nor assures another summer.

Is that all? To survive?

Darwin says it’s easy: one to the other,

a smile, a laugh and in bed together.

Possibly not when life is a routine.

He had a choice – to let them live or love.

There’s no reason actually, in either;

a whim, like the seasons that please or not.

He did not know about the faith.

living-out

 

"I’ve moved out."

"Huh?"

"I want to pursue other interests."

"Interests?"

"I have to live. Without you."

"Huh?"

"Thought it would be best without meeting."

"See you when I see you? A living-out relationship."

"Take care."

(silent)

"Bye. #Love you."

"Me too. Good luck!"

wife & pals

 

My wife has to meet my pals. I insist.

The first one would have loved me no less if I had Idi Amin or Mata Hari as buddies. 

The second one was so mine-are-holier-than-thine, bah!

The latest is a fellow-prisoner's ex-wife. Her own gang's #yawp is worse than our bite.

the shadow

 

Chasing a shadow

Of sinful sumptuous delight-

Coaxed into submission.

Mage

 

I am a Mage. That's no secret. When I use:

1) the charm offensive, they defend with indifference;

2) the lock of loyalty, they switch allegiance too easily;

3) the power of love, the less said the better; and,

4) the venom of vengeance, I become the target.

trouble

 

Humans are trouble.

A reboot never gives system

A fresh start.

life cycle

 

Born a Messiah,

Then the wilful child matured.

Life cycle of gods.

the foolish dead

 

I have always wanted

To sing a song that would

Make your blood boil and let loose

Courage of a martyr;

I'm glad to be tone-deaf

And my twisted claws can't

Hold a pen long for the words

That stain a darker red;

I have fought, killed and slept

The sleep of the foolish dead.

"Is umber not there  

In your thoughts and fantasies?"

"I'm not a paint shop."

news

 

I want to communicate today's main news.

A lady sick of her lover paid goons to treat him right. He was beaten, left naked on a road.

Another chopped her lover. His head was found on a lovely beach today.

And, I still want to write a good poem about love.
