My quaint obsession with marine life and that skyline paradox blossoming so tantalisingly,  might be a source of some...

Timmy Tom Tuck was a young fellow with charm
who one summer stayed at his grandfather's farm.
He loved to eat ice cream and Grandma's baked goods
but his favorite thing was to play in the woods

The sky has dug a hole in the cloud

seeing them as dispensed particles

Here is a tale of the runt, in the land of giants
Bearing the brunt of her size and growing defiant

They are deep within...

When I am in profound distress and sin?

The concerned politician was running for re-election
   But a very cool, steamy sex scandal he struggled to hide
He used his thick, bald head to provide some harmful protection

He winces contritely,
The new silver in his hair 
Is only a wise light.
I try not notice for only
He is only my life.

And can only...

Premium Member Being a Light To Others
Fear, caused by mere inferiority complex, 
Puts, in many relationships, abundant checks;
Like touch-me-not, faces shrink, all at a sudden,
As though, the entire universe, on me, fallen...!

Superiority complex, is a crime great,
That governs me, often, as...

Only Two
If all the world's religions
were condensed into only two;
Would it help you in deciding
which proves false, which true?

Well, it's been done already,
a very long time ago -
In the contrast of Cain and Abel,
God's true worship...

BEWARE OF ENEMIES AND ENEMAS  

Beware the scare to share with sharpened steel
To note the difference ‘tween  fantasy and or the surreal
Take heed for what I say ‘tis truth unclothed before thee

Fear Not, Death
Fear not death 
when it comes for you...
Death is not a monster, 
not even a master, but
a servant--
having no more choice 
in the taking of you than 
you have in the going....

And if you are...

As spring showers soaked through to my soft skin,
In hapless home in youthful age akin,
Through stabbing sorrow's sleeplessness I knew,
I grappled grief as fantom fears came true.
He was gone, greener pastures caused his leave.

Premium Member In Plain Sight
In the Scottish highlands, a storm's brewing,
lightning flashes lighting up the night sky.
And a liquid moon pools above the clouds,
on a sultry summer's eve in July.

Lock Ness shimmers like a silver shilling

Premium Member Dark Black Night
Once upon a midnight, ghostly,
Partied many, dead ones mostly.
Feasting in the graveyard, sprightly,
White eyed werewolves gorged, engrossedly.

In the bone yard, drab and squalid,
Apparitions (staring stolid
Neath the veiled moon, clouded lightly)
Sought fresh bodies, lean but solid.

Fiendish...

Premium Member Contritely Contradict
I feel the spirit of humanity
within the collective beat of Man's heart.
Theologically, Man's soul is an
intangible eternal counterpart.

I sense Man's struggle to be civilized,
but the animal within can't be tamed.
Evil is a corruptive influence
that schemes...

Emitterment Is Adamantic
Embitterment is adamantic,

Contritely it binds us to banality.

Why so perplexing to commend?

Compliments coloured profane.

Fawning bravo elucidates,

The wax before the wane.

Inadequacy, scourge of all,

Comparison should be banned,

Rulers immediately burnt,

Thus measurement will cease.

Envy is our burden,

When weal...

Failing to possess 
undeviating qualities 
Railing as they obsess 
retaliating anomalies 
Demonstrating abilities 
observed, are unlikely  
Estimating hostilities 
served contritely

appearing manic 
Clarity nonexistent 
fearing similarity 
Novelty an avalanche

Big Sea
Big sea exists not on its own.
It assembles rivers from various sources.
Rivers run kilometres to only end up
In a bigger river that callously swallows them all.

Dirty or clean, big sea never cares about colours,
