Phone habits kill
She looked pretty at the Zebra crossing,
weaving slowly, her shampooed hair tossing,
cars stopped still, to allow her go across,
who wouldn’t stop to let a beauty pass!
She looked neither to her left nor her right,
body cutting out shape in pants bit tight,
eyes fixed on the messages on her phone,
tripping when side stepping a traffic cone.
She continued

spending habits have changed
.When I was younger if I saw a box store I turned into the drive.
Spent an hour there, buying things I probably never needed.
Today I am sitting across from one, will be here an hour.
No desire to go across the street or into that store.
I am older now, not wiser, but I do not want

Transferred Energy
Swimmers don't sink
until they lose ATP -
transferred energy,
warming the waters
that will soon encase them.
You are no different -
sucking in the energy
I continuously emit.
Someday, I admit,
you will be the warm
waters I drown in

Mine in the dark
"Sometimes, the heart holds on in silence—tied to old habits, haunted by what could never be.
cry swallowed by shadows, a confession born from obsession and self-betrayal. This is not a love poem. It’s the echo of wanting what was never mine to hold"
The past still hums beneath my skin,
an ache, a whisper, soft as sin.
The

I choose you
Of all the reasons why I love you
Perfect is not one of them
My flaws that you accept so well ,maybe?
No thats not why I love you not at all.
My habits that annoy you sometimes and you still tell me you love me anyway, hmm hmm that's not it either.
I love you because even though

Mysterious habits
Mysterious habits have no limits
I do what no one can
And don’t what no one ban
Opposite yes I am
A bless? No just a damn
For me alone
Run in blood, flesh and bone
One touch and you are dead
Or listen to one word said
Be not fooled by the look
It is a deadly hook
With poisonous bait
One bite and you

The Black Holes of Habits
Humans and habits,
Both like celestial bodies.
Humans are the planets,
And habits are the stars.
The habit that lingers slowly turns,
Into a vast black hole, a dark abyss,
Hard to escape, we spiral inward,
Tumbling into its void.
But is it truly impossible to escape?
Though I am no scientist,
I know that before the universe,
Our science was inconceivable.
So by what logic do

Hoist With His Own Petard
He who disregards truth and justice
Will sooner or later go the whole hog;
His bestial appetites and habits,
His love of cruelty and power eventually will take over
Perhaps without him ever realizing the danger.
He is not only beyond the control of others
But beyond his own control.
He does no good ( like rainless clouds or fruitless trees,
Heaping abuse

Missing the Mark
("Earth", 1979, original pen and ink)
Missing the Mark
As they say, this world is full of sin:
the meaning of Life a target we continually miss
out of carelessness and habit.
This is the root of crime, which theft is the most basic form of;
murder, rape, arson, kidnap, assault and robbery, even defamation,
all involving stealing something that isn’t

Life and Bad Habits
Life And Bad Habits
By: Miracle Man
7/11/2023
Life is about attitudes, habits, and disbelief,
and any prejudices we harbor, God didn’t endow.
We look at life’s problems and seek God for relief,
As we do those things age and health will allow.
Jaundiced habits are often hindering our progress,
and these bad habits we’re oft unwilling to cede.
The brambles we encounter have

Serenity
Such a smooth motion,
the silver slowly moves,
right across my canvas wrist,
its peace that I choose.
The glass quickly empties,
my head starts to spin,
the alcohol makes me dizzy,
it feels like a win.
The smoke fades away,
drag after drag,
i know it isn't healthy,
but it makes me want to brag.
I swing at them again,
i'm not quite sure why,
the violence is
