Me first! untitled...


sometimes
reality shows us things
we would
even in our wildest dreams
be loathe to ignore
and for that reality
we arise so much sorrow
but to rain such forgiveness
we shout over love
and give it to those we ignore

A fella named Turkey On Rye
asked others who rhyme to drop by
to see if their verse
is better or worse
And for the last line here I got nuthin.

A haiku..

Mr. Scruffy is
A jolly friendly old cat
He is the love bomb

Anticipation

I waited for a moment
But the moment never came
I looked all around me
But nothing was the same

In the distance a bird is calling
All around me trees start falling
A giant feather in a golden cup
Crawling sideways I still look up

Decisions Decisions

My doctor told me I was mad
I said mate they're all so sad
Then he told me all about the cost
How all the little people got lost

I listened to his tragic story
What happened to the ancient glory
Outsmarted by their own inventions
Despite their very best intentions

Now it's too late to say goodbye
Silent objects pierce the sky
Haunted by their own illusions
Strangers talk of old solutions

Mania

My brain is charged with electric force
I feel as if I could walk though walls
I'm not mad and I'm not insane
I have lions and tigers in my brain

I live a thousand lifetimes every day
I see the world in every possible way
I feel connected to every living creature
Surprisingly my mind does not fracture

I walk on clouds of vibrant mist
My soul soars as if by an angel kissed
I soak up knowledge like a sponge
I catch an idea with an effortless lunge

Should I slow down or even stop
Will my internal resources drop
I don't know and I don't worry
I have no need to rush or hurry

I'm eating a strawberry candy.
The taste of this candy is dandy!
All at once, it's crunchy and gooey;
This strawberry candy is kinda chewy.
Delicious melt-in-your-mouth treat,
Strawberry candy is certainly sweet!

But now that it's been crunched,
And now that it's been munched,
The candy will soon melt away.
My teeth are at fault on this day.
Gone is my strawberry candy.
My day is no longer dandy.
