Premium Member Passing Clouds
Rain hurls wetness
Public places watered;
Soaking exposure

~~~~~~~~~


Dark passing clouds
Loiter and linger;
Tears from heaven

Rainy debris
Dry leaves soaked;
Earthy tea brew

Takeaway meal
Local gourmet touch;
Sensorial pleasures

~~~~~~~~~


Two crows sit
Rain drenched;
Tree branch...

Yes be big on choice
Dare to wear your poise
Discern that sure voice


Yes you're free to choose
Failure is no noose
Dare to set you loose


Yes once choice...

Premium Member Coming and Going
Being is becoming
Coming is going
Going is being

Start is dawning
Dawning is living
Living is dying

End is dusking
Dusking is dying
Dying is living

Style is smiling
Smiling is crying
Crying is styling

Premium Member Glimpse Paradox
Now moves deep spice,
Stillness primes ease;
Silence frees vice,
Feel carefree peace.


Feel how you feel,
Face paradox;
Out-of-the-box,
De-tox now heals.

Watch noise protest;
A sure misfit,
Noise dilutes zest.


In silence...

Premium Member Authentic Fake
Watch the paradox
In senseless streak,
Leap out-of-the-box
As de-tox now kicks.


Your ego-self primes
A hollow feel here,
Vain is not a crime
For this empty fear.


You change the story
In perplexing...

Time wings by
Flips lost page 
Heed odd sigh
At this stage


Purge old box
Tales now dim
Hoax de-tox
Feels calm slim


Angst blames jest
Purge sad strains
Blot wise fest
Hurt brines pain


Pain...

Confession of a War Tourist
The sky over Tel Aviv, the citadel with the theater of the absurd!
The evacuations to bomb shelters continue; from this vantage, the
