Black crow surveys
Two sparrows chat;
Food for thought

~~~~~~~~~


Air-con leaking
Messy affair;
Slippery pathway

~~~~~~~~~


Two toddlers laugh
Playground adventure;
Proud parents chit-chat

~~~~~~~~~


April showers
Thundering rain drops;
Wetness blooms

~~~~~~~~~


Moments freeze
Swirling slowly;
Rainy day moods

~~~~~~~~~


By my work desk
Piles of paper books;
Hoarding feels good

~~~~~~~~~


Telephone call
Old friend chuckles;
Brief encounter

~~~~~~~~~


Chocolate ganache cake
Home made delicacy;
Out of this world

~~~~~~~~~


Time and time again
Same...

Tangent
Two lines, looking for answers 
Who dared to cross different planes 
They gambled with numbers and letters 
Searching for x in sun and rain 
 
From east to west, they tried to find  
They also tried from north to south 
The value of x...

Feel feisty flame
Opt odd ordain
Ripe rapture reigns


Observe odd one
Unzip undone
Rich rivers run


Prize pretty pace
Run remote race
Etch earns embrace


Charm creams clear case
Opt old out-place
Choice claims cute craze


Impulse ink-stains
Ooze opts obtain
Urge unrestraint


Sense swift sounds speak
Mind meetings meek
Intense ink-tweaks


Chase crazy crop
Hurl happy hop
Appease apt-opt


Ear earns enthrone
Live lovely loan
Zesty...

Fruit smoothies
Peculiar notions;
Forget-me-not

~~~~~~~~~


Mimosa carpet
On the grass verge;
Violet orbs greet

~~~~~~~~~


Floral bouquet
A lover's gift;
Joy escalates

~~~~~~~~~


Odes and sonnets
Words in-sync;
What's the occasion?

~~~~~~~~~


Date with fate
Don't be late;
A full plate

~~~~~~~~~


April intervenes
Abrupt endings;
Motley stuff

~~~~~~~~~


Old lovers here
Vintage furniture;
Clumsy clutter

~~~~~~~~~


Those sad eyes
Staring at me;
Lost for words

~~~~~~~~~


Old sepia prints
Time mellows stains;
Ancient memories

~~~~~~~~~


Nightfall cicadas
Creepy cacophony;
Frogs croaking

~~~~~~~~~


Sums...

Tangent Lives
We are indeed two parallel lines
That run in eternal agreement
Continuously our course defines
A harmonious stand for our sentiments.

This united length of partnership
Runs side by side in platonic direction
Perpetual lines of enviable friendship
Will never be found in an intersection.

Fate may be kind, our lives may cross
Destinies...

Poise aligns voice
Choice between noise


Light in clear sight
Flight beyond plight


Stare at bold dare
Flair funnels fare


Live as you give
Grief utters brief 


Thrill in fine will
Feel surreal fill


Joy knows sound ploys
Toy with stuff coy


Speak of grand peaks
Seek to be meek


Date your sure fate
State wonder's gate


Room where love...

Just a whirlwind of thoughts has taken me off on a tangent

Where am I running too 
Only my deviant mind has allowed me to proceed
To an unchartered place leaving me unsettled
It is a fear within

Puzzling music follows like footsteps behind
Is this hell-bent or what twisting...

Tangent of Intangibility
well-spoken well-meaning 
attempts at getting to the 
heart of the matter getting
down to the root of the problem
never worked out to my benefit 
always went a stray off onto another 
tangent of intangibility...

So many cracks
Falling now stacks


So much violence
Tangent tensions


So little space
For joy's embrace


So hurts now farm
In violent harm


So what to do?
To discount hues


So much sorrow
For tomorrow


So spread the pain
With terror's strain?


So out of poise
With still small voice

Premium Member Tangent Fears--
Just what is at stake
 I'm at the strange plain in my life
 I'm touching those fears within my doubts
 just what is at stake 
curved surface at a point and yet my Lord keeps me from it just what is at stake 
I am...
