affective
as reality wanes in the face of artifice
none can ever prove any claimed origin
neurons gently touching can never suspect
that what is felt will be the same as is seen
yet such challenge remains the last hope
when there is a purpose behind fakery
whatever the message, emotion is there
that can’t be ignored or easily dismissed
there may be design at work with metaphor
but the words will persist beyond memory
and still shall affect the heart as well as brain

I tumble while staring into your eyes.
In hues fitting the month of December.
My wandering spirit is rekindled.
My frailties break down like puzzles.
Originating in the kindness of words.
Walk over frozen tears like a blizzard.
In echoes of the dazzling effect,
Winter nights attract seasonal sadness.
Building my own inner radiance.

They could see that I was stuck in a garble.
My pupils rolling like marbles.
They could see through my inflection.
They could sense my need for injections.
My thoughts were becoming ineffective.
Changes that are affective.

If You help someone who helps himself
you've truly help the man.
Help someone who never does
You'll find them needing help again.
And if you try to help someone who thinks they need no help at all ,
eventually he will need someone .
But, who will come to call ?
Then there are special ones who help most everyone they meet and everybody knows them from see to see to see.
A multitude will watch them.
Some for selfish gain.
But laws of recompense will send to them
a speedy helping hand again .

Finally conquered my seasonal affective disorder
This lamp seems to help, also spring's round the corner
Made it through
A close one, phew!
Thought they'd have to lock up the knives till it's warmer
