Spineless In the Running

Was this a bold  endeavour or worst-case high risk plot?
 In one sense I was caught between two poles apart  concerns.
One must never underestimate indeed trivialise a devilish 
difficult decision.
A decision that may...

Small Addictions

“Small Addictions” 

bit by bit 
the hunger begins,
the time when everyone,
it would seem, is giving in
to those small addictions

Thrust In The Centre Of The Storm All I Could See Was You

Serrated swathes of overwhelming savage gusts without compassion,
directionless dilatory daydreamer that  I am  ostensibly vulnerable,
to the serendipitous intrusion at a wispy sapphire cloud flaccid noon,
the minimal load  burdensome midpoint idle tranquil saunter,
meteorological...

SOLUTIONIST:
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES... 
VERSE 1:
Drenched soul placed on a bench,
Avengers revenging not ready to repent;
Edge of grudges they always entrench,
Dreading of fate, that's what they depend.
Trends and hypes risen from their wrench;

Moulin Rouge

Moulin Rouge

The greens and pinks magnetize to my eye
Like flowers abloom in a field espied,
Overwhelming creation’s invention
With beauty of grandiose dimension,
Shifting to the wind’s orchestrated movements
That winks at my soul (agaped by the performance),
To be...

Game of Thrones3

Forge on ever foolish
Cucumbers in your relish

Like staunch sentinels they stand 
Around a center speaker, a white-haired man

Please Do Not Weep For Me

Please do not weep for me!

(alternately titled: dost newt expend
precious tears toward pitiful poet!)

Intense passion to read
doth foster divine enlightenment...
