FleetingsFleetings are too faint,
too few, and so far between.
Fleeting is a butterfly
alighted with folded wings.
The glimpse of love
a flimsy kiss on cheek brings.
Dewdrops left on leaves
by early morning mist.
Echoes faint and feeble

OUT OF THE BRAINLoves, kick out all the bad in your brain, don’t let other take up space in your brain.
Tell them you have no place, for their games.
They pretend to care, but only want to cause you fear.
They play mind games, to try to control you, and make you have fear.
Life is like...

My Player is playing to LoseMy life's a fcking mess,
watching myself rapidly digress
it's outta control..
I'm so f*king stressed
I so badly want to change
But I'm already way too far from success
I let out a huge sigh
and stop holding my breath
Think to myself "what the frickin heck"
And just go with the flow
That I'm pretty sure nobody really knows
So stuck in...

WHAT PIECE ARE YOU?Life feels like a giant chess game
you wake up already in motion
making choices you didn’t plan
on a board you didn’t build.
What kind of piece are you, are you the King
central, important, yet unsure
needing protection
and fearing the next move?
Or the Queen
bold, limitless, always thinking
but tired of carrying too much
without showing the weight?
Maybe you're the Pawn
quiet,...

It's All Up in the Air
I'm juggling confetti balloons,
Floating a wayward, up in the air,
Falling wherever, when they will,
Begging my cares to be ever still.
I’m the ringmaster of chaos.
Rid'n a tightrope chair.
Poised on tippy-toe, piqué.
About to lose an arm 'n leg.
My heart beats a drum roll,
To dare the cast-of-die fanfare,
To begin before its begun,
Before I've got the hang of
Juggling these...

8 feet for birdie at 11

chasing birdie eggs
on green grass down holes in one ~

three men on both team starts the game with a coin flip

that starts on the visiter side with the coinflip winner

Your MoveYour Move
Move up two spaces over.
On abrown and white board.
64 squares.
Use strategy if you dare.
Ready to play the game.
Loose pieces along the way.
The game is abstract.
More obstacles at that.
Move the rook to the other side.
Glide the queen to the right.
Move the pawns out of...

Game Of ChessIn this game of chess, you play with me you my love are the king, the one that can move whichever way that he wants to, the most important piece
The piece that symbolizes the part that you play in our sordid love affair, how you deem yourself as unstoppable as you move across the squares

A VILLAGE ROAD SHOWPicture a dusty village road
Where two stubborn goats
One older full of pride
Another younger and very agile
Face each other on a narrow bridge
Neither want to back down
They lock horns in front of the whole village
Each claiming the right of way
On the edges, villager elders watched on
Placing bets on who fights better
Turning merchants for their...

i love youi’ve been told this many times.
lies.
how can you love me?
we’ve only talked for a week
the only thing you see
is a spark
but you mistook it for a flame
you never asked about me
just thought it was a game
you never stayed long enough though
to know the difference
you memorized my laugh
but not what makes me cry
you’ve touched my hands
but...

Balls
When first I went ten-pin bowling
was in a league of my own
tho' hot to trot my score was shot
splits and gutterballs set the tone
my opponent bowled professionally
outclassed before I'd begun
she demonstrated then remonstrated
“It's not 'only a game' to some!”
tho' bet my set I'd met my match
when playing each frame for a round
looked like I'm paying...

Hit the Sweet Spot, SweetieEver so sweet
is kernel hub,
the power button,
so neat, tiny and mighty.
But the sweet spot
can sour with
too much power
to savor its glory.
For to score is fragile,
furtive and futile,
when a near miss,
catches the edge.
It's easily bruised,
easily abused,
easily overused,
overdone and missed.
The soft spot sweetie,
requires a gentle touch,
with panache, pizzazz,
flair and feeling....
