I will show you fear in a handful of dust

TS Eliot wrote “The Waste Land” and he said “I will show you fear in a handful of dust.”
Maybe he had read Genesis in the Bible, back then it was perhaps a must.

At Genesis chapter3 and...

cold as ice with the heater on
the aspirin causes me to bruise
like murky water mirages on a ceiling of used stars, 
i become lost in thought as the scent of you makes me float on air
i believe that i am immersed in the confetti convention...

Bullseye, a faithful companion,
Met Woody at a fork in the road.
He's the ultimate horsey champion!
A child's heart is his abode.

The Prospector, Jessie and He
Were going to live forever on display.
Only through clear glass they'd see
Children every day.

What a sad existence!
Bullseye likes his adventures.
It's only through...

Scarlet clouds skinny-dip
In the wealth of your limbs,
Highlighting your glorious
State of grace,
And I am your audience
Applauding unrehearsed magnificence;
Intensely poignant,
This simple display,
To intrigue and inspire
The likes of Kilmer.

“More,” I fiercely cry.
“More!”

Alas, the sun has done her duty
And she’s fled to western horizons,
Leaving me to mourn the...

A fantastic duo quite rare
In no way can these two be square
What makes Jim's heart wilt?
It's Deb who is well built
With C cups that cause men to stare

A very intelligent guy
Jim knows how age to defy
His love Deb he keeps 
Only with her he sleeps...

"Poetry makes nothing happen."
              --W.H. Auden

We see what we want in mirrors.

The wind that incites the leaves to falling
Makes nothing happen to those arched in expectancy.

There is no celebration, no exaltation of...

I live in a world so hard

When money is tough to come by,

I live in a world where to few people care

But the notable exception is you,

I live in a world of so much fear

A world of competition where people elevate

Themselves on a pedestal just...

I feel sorry for the dead rat.
It was not an urban or country,
it was a suburban rat; it had a code of behavior.
It never infested, or stole
it strolled these leafy avenues
with a certain rodent pride.

It’s Autumn
and the trees are aflame with
medium income wealth,
the foliage lush
cultivated...
