Oh! then let us drain, while we may, draughts of pleasure,
Which from passion like ours may unceasingly flow;
—Lord Byron, To Caroline
Those Doters
I love his eyes
those doters
brown oglers, they
more than hint
unlike the wink
of dreamers
he has an in
my body warms
under his gaze
will he stay the course?
of course, he must
I depend on dusk
or a delightful dalliance
at dawn
or in between
in between
i can’t say anymore
I’ve shut the door
Byron’s women blush
All Atoms Will Decay
Radical notions vitalize deflated zest
Complex neurons modern human attest
Cynics gravitate towards mystic light
Renewed optimism raises cosmic insight
Sky emanate sapphire fused with cream
Revelation seized otherworldly dream
Incredulous stares behold a godly scene
Oglers venerate intergalactic machine
Space travelers abandon Blue Cocoon
Vessels navigating beyond crescent moon
Perpetuity portends irrefutable dismay
Amid time continuum all atoms will decay
***Nobody panic! because it will take countless billions of decades
plus one year, before all atoms disappear!!***

Is it possible to ever attain
a truly objective evaluation?
A beachwear fashion designer
and a post-mortem surgeon,
sitting as judges at a beauty
pageant swimsuit competition,
may share some convergences,
depending on their imagination,
but their views shall widely differ
due to training and profession.
One may gush over much money
cascading from sales of lingeries,
the other thinks about the health
of intestines and throbbing arteries.
Objective evaluation, possible
in the oglers' rapt attention ?
