portions of the following poetic endeavor
can you care to 
discern fact from fiction?

Attempts at lifelong friendships and holy matrimony...

Shot thru with figuratively cankerous nub,

Social settings have stigma attached to this. 
Atmospherically climactic negative correlations sustain society. 
Civilized individuals are naturally monogamous; serially… 
On the other hand gender segregated facility.

Men and woman,
Penis and vagina,
Birds and bees,
Conditions and stipulations…

A rule...

Inextricably rooted with hair fixation

As a lad in grade school,
yours truly, (a diminutive, intuitive,
oversensitive, and vegetative potato head kid,
whose voice exhibited
a severe nasal twang)
felt envious at other boys,
especially those young bucks
who sported budding antlers
plus thick...

We don´t listen to the same blues, you and I.
You don´t hear the bass or the drum or the sounds

Instead you cross the street,
Wearely and willingly, speeding up.

Thru deliberate seductive
liaisons, ploys, and underhanded gambits,
I tendered illicit, explicit and complicit shenanigans
blatant actions to foment coital adulteration.

Ofttime these discrete liaisons found me removing 
linkedin metallic keepsake symbolizing union.

Years elapsed since this spouse pledged his...

What is love to most?
A simple feeling
One may boast –
Nay!  I say –
There’s much more to Love –
More than what meets the eye
More than can be felt –
More than can be imagined –
Love is...

Seahorses...Why?


Dear Mother Nature woke one day,
   and looked around with a sly smile,
surveyed her Earth, both land, and sea,
   then paused to think for quite a while.

She beamed with joy with...

(A bird-in man poem)

Yes, any bird can be the common crow;
the bulbul or the yellow bird.
And parrots, ofcourse;
because every tree has got its own bird.
But to which colour does your bird belong to?
Red-plumed; yellow-feathered?

My eyes...

Against the tiny creature seemingly lost in the night.
With only the moon to navigate her path,
Little seahorse galloped—

She was my everything 
For her I was nothing

Loyal
Monogamous
Infinite Faithfulness
Devotion to last a lifetime
Til Death do us part, why’d you break my heart
Destroyed in just one brief moment
Shattering to pieces
The one who stayed
Loyal

Cheater
Duplicitous 
What a bogus excuse
You are for a human being 
Such...

I’m torn away and lifeless
In a pixilated display cover
Not caring or feeling
Except showing my own past as a lover
Taking it all in stride 
With nothing to hide anymore
The self realization is gone
What’s left is how...
