Life Poems

boom

dogs and I sit on their porch
sniffing lilacs in the country air
relaxed, unhurried, unworried

BOOM!
fireworks or a gun?
everything changes

story of a box

pristine sharp cornered brown box garnishes excitement
we rip him open with anticipation
new merchandise has been delivered!

this box is repurposed for sorting, carrying, hauling, storing
left out in the rain, the box looks sad and sorrowful
we could fold him flat and put him into our dumpster

Or we could burn him up
He has lost his usefulness
difficult to remember

For Life Demands It

I have read a lot of books
Not sure what I remember of them
Written a lot of poetry
Yet cannot recite any of it

I have lived a lot of days
Faint memories entwined
In fluffed and softened lies
I cannot unentangle them

I have loved and been loved
Shared the pain and joy of both
Inhaled the breath of generations
Destined to remember me

I

It's Night

It’s night

The moon shines coldly
An otherworldly light lives in my room
The quiet night noise of the city is music
Beautiful, unique atmosphere. This is also London

A LIFE IN THE BREEZE

The Odds Of Being Weird

The Sooner They
Give Up On You,
The Sooner You
Are Free.

A-Eye Echoes

You're Lyin',
Honey-Munchkin!

But We Had
A Nice Chat!

Slap!

AI : Given for Gain

[Poet’s Note : This poem tabulates poignant reasons why Artificial Intelligence is unable to replace Natural Intelligence. The clarity here is that both emerge from Divinity, since everything emerges from Centre : the primary difference being that AI was created without Heart & without Soul ~ it’s simple.]

AI has no Heart therefore no intuition

That's So Human

I Get The Weirdest
Ideas, Sometimes...

I Want To Carry 
Those Dishes
In That Pot
With That Handle...

Then, With A Twitch: 

It Turns Into Sudden
Badminton And
Everything's Broken;

Glass Shards 
Everywhere,
Serious News.

Humans Destroy
Everything When
They Twitch With
"Good Ideas..."

They Turn It All
Into Badminton
And Shatter All
Your Plans...

Silly Animals...
It's Not Entirely
Our Fault.

Oops!

I Can Be So Easily Pleased

Wait.

Somewhere...

Hmmm...

I'm The Head Not The Tail

I stand tall, a champion of unyielding might,
A winner, not a quitter, in the arena of life's plight.
A victor, not a victim, with a heart that beats like gold,
A conqueror, not conquered, with a spirit that never grows old.

I'm blessed, not cursed, with favor that overflows,
The first, not the last, with a destiny that forever

Teach Me to Love

Teach me to love

Need. Yes. A woman. 
To love
Learn the love

Again. I am deeply disappointed
In the women
The reality is that fearing

I am afraid of the law and women
If I watch a woman, that could be sexual harassment
If I touch a woman, that is sexual harassment

I have no law. No protection
I am a victim of anti-male
