unreasonable

 

I think I know now

Why I walk this path

Staring at the never-changing sunset

Away from that crowd

Of mature thinkers

Who know how to move the goal post

For some reason

That's unreasonable

For idiots like me.

spectator

 

I remember a basketball match long ago,

I was a spectator and slept throughout.

I am once again just that,

The gnarled hand fondles before the big sleep.

politician

 

Calm when the land burns,

Nonsense not wisdom uttered-

The politician.

the last line

 

I begin as if I were ending.

That's all he said 

In his suicide note.

He did have our 

Attention, 

Then,

Not for too long.

I went/left/oh-nothing.

He should have said that.

And gone.

Damn him!

correct path

 

Born #mercurial,

It took decades 

To correct path-

The day did come

When friends became

Smiling strangers

And lovers, well,

Just forgotten

Never googled,

It still flickers

In midnight air,

A restrained ghost.

Love's worst

 

Don't fret about pre-

mature bodily function.

That's not Love's worst side.

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.

#vss365

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.
