Loving life hid beneath rim of cool ceramic bowl
Tree frog claimed proud place, toilet's homely hole
Enamoured by his simple palace making stance
I bend to peer at his green grip toe stick, entranced

My ordinary admonished by...

So I was walking down Market Street
There's a guy in a suit, with a leotard over the shirt and trousers (but under the jacket) in 28 degree heat
His thing was dancing to Michael Jackson's back...

It's funny, because I've vacuumed under your bed 
a hundred times in the past two years
I've dusted the black bedside table
picked up your Scotch and Soda pants off the floor, 
still jingling with belt attached...

Second sight in some infants, short tenure belies
Unbiased newness unpicks societal manufacture
To passers by, lurking spiritual assets recognisable
Pervading expression classifies their clairvoyance

Such was toddling dandelion darling, Aubergine 
Unphased, observant, chillingly serene in nature
Cherubic smirk absorbed...

From within the perspex booth, he flirtily inquired
 if my day so far had been fulfilling 
Duty of filling two reusable bags with thirty items
Didn't stop my silly line from spilling
"Certainly, yes - it's fulfilling...

I got arrested!... further developments await...

By gravity said law
linkedin with physics
stating that a body at rest
will remain thus unless otherwise
acted upon by an external force,

hence I cannot wrest motion

Unrelated
Much debated
Unphased yet constantly grazed with
Bullets filled with hate

Dream for which my heart bleeded
Denied but the price I paid way to great

I was paralyzed in thought,
and standing all alone;
Surrounded by darkness,
everything was gone...

With barely a glimpse, from the corner of my eye;
I was travelling so fast as I passed myself by.
I was moving at high speed,...

Looking out to the horizon
The warmest colors, the sun setting just past the water
And yet all I see is a line, slightly askew
Is it me? Is it the world around me?
Why do I feel disoriented?

There is good in the heart of Man;
that can quickly morph into evil
when envy feeds His insatiable greed;
we'll conspire, coerce, and bully to get what we want.
Death is an effective threat,
and war is its fulfillment;

OPEN  VERSE
Will my verse
reach your ear  can
your eye stay  the course
Does unconvention
Confound the rhythm
of your eyes
Take a deep breath

between my lines
unphased by phrase and
habitude or human voice
The choice  is...

Bright flames fueled by chaos and evil intent,
Fools who embraced the enemy's deceptive ways,
torn limb from limb , food for the scavenging horde,
The brave fought with all their might,
Powerless they stood, against an army consumed...

Admired tree top adornment enthroned

The country's on fire
Buildings ablaze
A situation most dire
Filmed through the haze.

Protesters all shouting
Passions inflamed
Of their anger no doubting
For the victim now named.

They march with hands raised
Indignant and loud
Determined, unphased,
To pressure unbowed.

But the message is tainted

I sit in class with my thoughts on blast,
The paper in front is one of the last
I fidget with my pencil and remain outcast
And act oblivious to the obvious task.

The teacher walks around, reviewing each...

Two lions sit perched on the dew covered lawn,
silently they witness approaching dawn.

Their marbleized forms catch days first light,

lords of the grounds they heroically...
