Dividing Line
Bright lights, flames in motion.
Arms weighted with emotion,
as each carries
their burdensome torch.
Lit alleyways, littered by mayhem,
breached by commonsense.
Is it too late
to chase scintillating dreams,
to rid the streets
of the beast?
The mantra
had captivated mouths and memes,
seemed the broad path was in,
was easy. No one understood,
the following was satisfying,
it had treats, whistles and bells.
Pavlov would ring,
ice cream was

A Dividing Line
There is a line in oceans wide,
where fresh and salt waters collide.
No mixing of the fresh and salt,
When they collide, each takes a halt.
There is drawn, a separation line,
when men to sin their hearts incline.
Man’s ways and God’s, can never mix.
A river parts them like the Styx.
The line first formed when Adam sinned,
by

Dividing Normal
Girls grow up early -
boys are on time.
One grows like cedar -
the other like pine.
Both are completed -
each other to mate.

The Dividing Line Between Father and Son
THE DIVIDING LINE OF FATHER AND SON
My son, my only son, my beautiful son
Where was that dividing line
that separated son from father, you from me?
And let an unwise imagination overwhelm our common sense
Do you still have a sense of the line?
between connection and disconnection of
my father’s love and your dissatisfaction?

Dividing the Easter Eggs
I want the pink one, the orange one, and the lavender one too.
Okay, agreed big brother. Then I shall dye the yellow, green and blue.
But she was a changeable mind girl, his sister, Serendipity Sue.
Can I also have the blue one? She asked her brother Brice.
Sure, he said handing it over. This is nothing like

Of Glass Dividing Souls
alone in cold dark metal
very little air to breathe
frozen in a place and time
days are lost in anticipation
waiting again and again
and then it happens to my surprise
your fingers touch the chain
delicate links that bound our hearts
I am now held in your hand
your thumb outlines our locket
the locket tucked inside a box
pink tissue paper blankets me
pictures

Weird Chains
They invent new lies with periodical distractions
repeat falsehood till truth turns doubtful
teach generations the ways of hating
the **** of discriminating, dividing, killing
the innocents that love their neighbours
value diversity, equality and peace
shunning the weird chains that lock the sun for roots to grow

Dividing Lines
All the world in fear
the danger's presence near
the evil that we do
is driven by what ever you
want this world to be
And is it you
or is it me
can you tell me where the dividing lines begin
all the things we've heard
all the pain and love we've shared
still we cannot find
the opposite word
to sin
Who said the cruel

Dividing Divergence
Standing at the edge of forever
as one thought leads to hell
for I stare at the empty never
the other to a heavenly dwell
I must choose before the eyes of infinity
my soul torn between the hallucinogen hollow
passing through the vector vicinity
where dreams are created for me to swallow
Seeing visions of a hellion hive
soon thoughts fill with divinities

Dividing Work From Play
Dividing work from play,
like noting night not day,
is useful in a left brain dominant way
yet not so good
in right and left to-gathering
communicating say.
In my most real
and sacred trust right mind
no profound difference I find,
not even any healthy reason to distinguish
secular and physical work
from sacred mental play,
cooperative investment
from perpetuating multicultural empowerment,
communicating humors, dark and light,
virtuous polypathic
