and there is a dull obedience to convention
in her accommodating slenderness
as she feints at her salad.

Far out on Neptune's briny sea,
my hammock holding still
while the ship slowly rocks side to side,

In this darkness I can hear
the constant lapping of the waves
against my ship's hull...

Chosen to be a perfectionist

all things in order

not out of order

the pantry is orderly

the shelves are amazing

the dishes are placed

neatly arranged with a homemade cake

perfectly amongst the race

clean clean clean away

no time wasted, non-worried faces

this...

BLEEDING SOUL

My mad desire
Why push me to the wall
With a corrupted ego
That had now blown my consciousness
And sadly departed me
In this cloud of sin
Armed with none, near goodness
Except a bad quest

although I heard its sound sweeter than a symphony;
friends frowned, taking away their smile...
I refused to grow up by...

Darn! The wind is back with a vengeance.
Its howling,
	making the trees and grasses become its instrument. 
Gusts to 40 mph they say; I believe it.

But the sky is so blue and the clouds are illuminated...

Running around frantically, 
The wrong lock for a key, 
Boiling over, fuming, 
Cleanness always looming. 


Lurking over, smiling ear to ear, 
Small, always wanting to steer, 
“Too controlling!”, spoilt I’d say, 
Always wanting their way....

when thoughts once elaborate deflate, expire.
Theories once bolstered on pages of text
float on the breeze to their grave where they rest.
Only one hope is secure and defined
and is solidly...

Stormy is the sky
  Stormy is why
Why the sky is gray
  Why the rain decided to come
Come to relieve all the anger in her heart
  Compelled to cry

Cleanness, as somebody said once ,
Not where they clean, but where they do not crap,
And our yardman vigilantly  at the entrance,
Walks around with  a huge scary club.

Nice to watch, how he - with...
