The Art of Not Understanding Everything
Like moonlight on water, truth shimmers and bends, Each question I grasp at immediately ends In riddles more complex than those that came first— Some thirsts remain burning, though water is cursed. "If I drank, I'd die—if I didn't, I'd still die..." These dilemmas remain as the years shuffle by. I reach for you in crowded rooms, find only air, The stars...

Premium Member REVOLUTION'S EVOLUTION: Apropos Of Today's Political Dilemma
Freedom must be won Oppression beaten and done; Let’s follow Heron: Let’s make revolution live; Defeating oppression’s jive:- Come revolution, Heal syndrome’s devolution; Curing delusion: It’s time for revolution; Let’s get to liberation:- We’ve survived much worse Of the oppressor’s dam curse; Now’s too, we will burst: Liberation’s spring is here; We’ll be fighting without fear:- Now, its you folk’s call, To deal with that choice by y’all; Least all your hopes...

A Dilemma of Love
Let me write something special about you today! Should I write you as my longing, Or should I pen down my emotions for you? Should I write my life with you, Or write you as my whole life itself? Should I call you mine, Or should I write myself as yours? Should I write you as the future to come, Or the moments...

Canvas
I believe this space must be appreciated Blank, white, plain to see Why are we so quick to cover up That which is boundlessly free Look at this space between the frame Question, wonder, and consider Here is a blank field, free for the taking With potential untapped, as it were But perhaps something sad should be noted This canvas gets only one experience Endless...

Premium Member Our dilemma
We’ve donned this form to feel love warm, caged in space and hemmed in by time, memory of heaven wiped clean, so we feel helpless in life’s storm, deadened to pulse of bliss beat’s chime, light of soul remaining unseen. To have the cake and eat it too requires us to remain awake, recognising life is a dream but how then will rapture renew, if...

In dilemma
Today’s world-- weird, far too sure, And looking too far gone for cure, Where confidence is power, Overconfidence, dour, I wonder a curious Smug look that lacks focus Can take me far vaguely unsure. ______________________ Tongue-in-cheek |20.02.2025| world, humour ...

A prince was heard to cry and wail, lamenting the sad fairytale into which he had been born. Why was this gentle lad forlorn? His true love's kiss, against his will, instead of giving life, would kill....

Premium Member New Chapter After Disaster
Moonlight hitchhikes on green pines Slipping away like maroon mind Melancholy music rides breeze I find Comfort and peace in warm red wine Escape in a bottle isn’t the worst crime Running full throttle from dilemma time No longer on top not in my peach prime Want it to stop this inner indigo whine I failed and wail wildly in pantomime Tell...

Premium Member Valentine Dilemma
I thought to bring you a rose...but roses, short lived dry, and fall petally away -- I thought to bring you a manufactured heart: made of chocolate or silk but substitutes for you have always been wrong from the start so, I showed up empty handed and the dog and cat tore me apart.... ...

Half-Glass of Dilemma
On the table, posing silent, It taunts our outlook, coyly – Un-sharing of its true intent, In Mona Lisa mystery. We bite at its enticing mass, That bends our mind in simple bait – This still-life liquid in a glass, A frozen frame on reel of fate. Some say it’s half the way toward gone, While others see there’s more to pour. But are we...

Wool of the Soul
Lonely is the one who only ever follows Cursed is the one who chooses his own path. For neither ever will be truly satisfied. A problem such as this Doesn’t seem to exist for a sheep. Even on a cliff’s edge, A sheep is neither hurt nor dead. Perhaps only weighed down by his own coat. Perhaps that is...

The Eternal Labyrinth
Life is a dark labyrinth, Every inch of it is a myth. It is lighter outside, Experiences say it is much heavier inside. Welcome to the world of uncertainty, Dilemma and chaos take place between reality and eternity. Perplexity rises until death, It does not consist of a single quiet bed! I am a sojourner in this damp maze, Slipping is my passionate habit...

Santa's dilemma
Jingle bells jingle bells Dear Santas lost all hope. For the world that he once knew As sadly now gone Woke. It used to be so easy When there were only girls and boys. But now there's many more genders He'd rather be unemployed. So soon he'll be retiring Along with his reindeers who. No...
