The way I hold myself now
has changed
who can reach me
and who cannot.

Half way up
From your head down to your toes
I'll be kissing you all day.
But may become distracted
and only get halfway.

Spring's song drifting
from the open window

Caught by a breeze
the green-spangled tree
fluttered and dipped
not at all shy
to dance so freely.

TANKA
An affirmation:
I attract all that I need,
all that will help me
contribute meaningfully
to our ailing world.

夜明け前の雨音に耳を澄ませば
軒の端から落ちる雫が
一つ二つと地に返る
春の泥は深く
足を取られる歩みがある

Not in complexity
of word salad
nor glitter consumed
Mystery as Simplicity
most often found
in the sun's rise
with foregrounded clouds
on day mild

a day spent fuming at my second brain
it does not know my first one
but pretends so well
the great deceivers roll in green paper
the humanists roll in their graves

I live in a state of constant grief
A tumultuous climate dyeing a reef,
My heart gave me away
A little more every day-
We pass between in starry twilight:
Destinies not yet placed in our sights.

I tried breaking these
Generational traumas.
Opened old wounds, but
Genetic memories, keep
Looping endlessly

Avarice, you see
Is simply greed’s constant loop
Transformed into a
Cannibalistic cycle
A greed that will kill

Organ donor card
Got myself a donor card.
One day I will depart.
Donating all my organs
but you can keep my heart.

When I'm inclined to torture myself, I write #acrostic #limericks:
G orging gleefully all through his meal,
R amming relish on meatloaf with zeal,
E nergetically, endlessly,
E ating tremendously —
D one? Not so long as there’s veal.

Two shadows cast from a single flame, Waltzing sparks in a silver room. Apart, yet pulse for pulse the same, A single thread on a cosmic loom.

dead inside, his
cremated soul smoulders - a
shameless smokescreen for his sins.
a raging inferno; sparked
by malevolence; flames fuelled
with vitirol; hatred spreads
like wildfire - the world ablaze.

; fierce hatred burns within his
heartless chest; blazes hotter
than our dying planet. his
skin scalded by hellfire flames;
scorched earth tactics wreaked by a
scorched earth soul.
