Love's Dilemma

Love’s Dilemma

Happy one minute
Sad the next
Speaks volumes
To the constant
Ebb and Tide
Of what’s called
Love’s Dilemma. 

When two people
Meet and fall
Deeply in love
Passions abound
Emotions afire
Whilst they bask
In true desire.

Love’s power
Can heal
Can hurt
It’s magic
May enchant
May mesmerize
And surprise!

Love’s passion
Excites us
Teases us
Reveals us
Stirs emotions
Makes us
Feel whole.

The bargain is
It takes two
To tango
To love
To want
To have
To hold.

And always
To be bold
To love—
Unconditionally
With your mind
With your heart
With your soul!

When I'M No More

A play ends just, a wretched play, that I’m no more.
And you yourself, with vex, dismay, that I’m no more?

Bleeding grass, burning air, woods ashen, and you weeping,
It’s a bit too convenient, nay, that I’m no more?

The letter with the rhymeless elegy-- it’s soaked,
I hardly muse now, what you’ll say, that I’m no more!

Stranded and shifting, quite like light on water, Dew,
Reflection mine, why do you stay, when I’m no more?

-Pin Dew (02/05/2017)

Note: Experimental Ghazal- The lines are in Iambic Hexameter. Usually, English Ghazals follow Syllabic Prosody, but here I am using Accentual-Syllabic Prosody.

Turbidity

Turbidity

Turbidity’s
An artifice of
Being Human
One who is
So confused
So disordered
Or even one
With a Turbid
Imagination!

Being Turbid
Allows its Owner
To be or seem to be
In turmoil or
In degrees of
Real or Fake
Confusion
Making situations
Quite interesting!

This attributes
A most likely
Pejorative symbol
When intentionally
Used to obfuscate
Human interactions
Or to be just
Plain difficult or
Uncooperative!

Possessing bouts of
Seeming Turbidity
For the Poet
Can also be
That perfect
Literary Conceit
To challenge
To mystify
All readers true!

Such notions of
Verisimilitude
Or better yet
Literary Truth
Methinks would
Maketh the likes of
Keats, Eliot, Pound
Among other greats
Jumpeth all for joy!

Tilting At Simplicity

Tilting at Simplicity

William of Ockham 
Harbinger of today’s
“Occam’s razor”—
His simplest solutions
Bespeak not always
Accurate conclusions.

A Simple Simon
Binary approach
Style vice logic
Solutions not always
Truest to measure
Requires real
Human variety.

Heuristic methods
Abound—of course
Tied to many
Scientific efforts
But how about
The Messy?
The Complex? 

Simple rationale
On each conclusion 
May be suspect
With only barest of
Variables considered. 

Take your pick—but
Use your intuition
The easiest aren’t
Always most correct
Use common sense too!

When in doubt
Trust yourself
Keep objectivity
Fail not to ponder
The complex too!

Love Is

Love is

Love is special
Romantic feelings
Sensual thoughts  
Hope and expectations
Seize the moment!

Love is a real drug
Casting a spell
On one’s inner psyche
Bringing pleasure
Leaving a message!

Love is with you
As one sees answers
In the eyes and heart
Emotions so special
Feel our love whole!

Love is alchemy pure
Paracelsian—yes
A dramatic power
Emotion + Passion + Joy
Equals Love so pure!

Love is the reddest rose
Supreme symbol of love
Flower of pulchritude
Sends a clear message
Love signal affirmed!

Love is magical
Love is majestic
Love is divine
Love is God’s Gift
Love is God’s Love!

Love Star Night

Love Star Night
					
We walk in love 
hand-in-hand			
under the stars 
star night pure.

Our love’s real
your touch warm			
so inviting now
star night white.

We stop walking
embrace as one               	   	
kissing deeply
with passion
our souls now one.

We gaze skyward 
see stars so bright		
such radiance pure				                                                
this love star night.

A Withered Rose

A Withered Rose

Our love dear
is now but a
“Withered Rose.”

And I really
don’t know if
you care—I 
must suppose.

We once had a
most radiant love
full of wonder,
joy, beauty, passion.

And now it’s quite
hard to accept      
the reality
that all is ruined                       
and all is gone.

I sleep now dear
with utter despair
in a soulless torment 
that is unending
knowing our once
“Red-Rose Love”
is gone forever . . .

And in its place 
I have nothing
but an image of a
“Withered Rose Memory.”

A Spider's View

A Spider’s View

Walking his web
At ceiling corner
Gazing downward
Watching and waiting
Patience absolute.

Growing hungry
Eyes focused
Two victims
Fly and Lady Bug
Trapped in web.

Sense of doom
Survival of fittest
Stronger species
Spider’s appetite
Sustenance waiting.

Scheme of life—
With Darwin smiling
A winner, two losers
Strongest wins
And strongest eats.

A Spider’s View
On a typical day
Each day similar
But different
Result—the same.

Fixed in place
Or hanging around—
Multi-legged
And multi-eyed—
An Acrobat Supreme!

Solitude

Solitude

Walking alone
Often outside
In deep thought
About things of
Great importance.

I wonder aloud
Thoughts amassed
Priorities now
Solutions not clear
Seeking inspiration.

Time’s fleeting
Which is always
Tied to many
Dynamic actions
Begging resolution.

I stop now—
And look heavenward
Solutions abound
Choices are difficult
I’m staying focused.

Use my intuition
Request divine help
Do Nothing
Take your pick
Nothing’s easy.

My soul’s focus
Trust yourself—
First and foremost
God speaks silently
Do it now!

Dream World

Your silken skin, trembling to the touch
A scent of sandalwood, wafts as to soar
Your pant, accentual-syllabic verse
Beat ever faster, no ration of time

Awkward moments as two become one
An everlasting symphony of fire
Quenched, after the crescendo of the night
Descending from a dream all in my mind

Positive Thouhts and Visulisation

POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND VISUALISATION

Positive thoughts and visualisation

Will undoubtedly manifest your lifes creation

What is accentual for us to flower

Is to have the knowledge of our power

To have the courage to dare, to show our flare

The faith to do, and see it through

Perception, memory, reasoning, will

Use all these wisely and you'll gain the skill

To reach for your goals

And give your spirit a lift

Use attitude, it is a great asset

Understand, we are in a new era

A change for all mankind

This gift you're receiving is the knowledge

That your life revolves around your mind

What you're thinking you will attract

Good or bad it will come right back.

Chemical Castration

When we first MET, you were so young and FAIR,
A hundred twenty POUNDS in your underWEAR.
We tied the KNOT, and the next thing I KNEW,
Your weight ballooned UP to 300 and TWO!
Your weight GAIN ended my infatuATION.
Lovin' YOU is like a chemical castRATION. 

Several times a WEEK when your mom stops BY,
She starts in on ME, and I just want to DIE!
She gripes and NAGS, got nothin' good to SAY,
Then you and SHE just eat bon-bons all DAY.
Your family TIES only add to my frustRATION.
Lovin' YOU is like a chemical castRATION.  

You decided that YOU'D take a drive in my CAR,
Just go to the STORE, it's not very FAR.
That short DRIVE ended up in a WRECK,
And my sweet RIDE was shot all to HECK!
I just wanna SHOUT IT all across the NATION:
Lovin' YOU is like a chemical castRATION!
