It’s almost Halloween.
Pumpkin spice and everything in between.
Skeleton decorations.
Getting ready for celebrations.
Sadly, I’m too old to trick or treat.
But I still want something sweet.
At the store, I pick up a cake.
Something premade, I don’t have to bake.
I wasn’t invited, so I’m sour.
I order pizza, it will be an hour.
A trick or treater knocks at the door.
Giving out candy feels like a chore.
What am I supposed to be?
Kid, just take the candy!
I throw in extra candy, if he tells his friends-
That I am an evil witch and it’s not pretend!

Wilting Flower Petals
I count the men that leave me like a child would count wilting flower petals
Dried up, bereft of color and soul, that's how the petals leave the flower, all alone
Life seems to be a drifting montage
Predestined and premade, I have no control over it
Just as the flower sits away, silent and silenced
as the children pluck the petals away.

Japan Skytree 2080ft
They began by digging down
So two directions could be
built at once
Premade sections built on the
ground
Scaffolding added with
netting surround
to prevent anything falling down
Each section craned into position
Above the Load a gyroscope
preventing mid~air transition
Made of tubes angled for strength
Structural integrity
An architect's Dream
The engineer's Mission
On reaching the top 2 cranes
to be lowered
from atop this ingenious free~standing Tower
smaller cranes hoisted to perform this function
Each crane smaller 'till all
were grounded
The last of which the final
stage
Dismantled and carried down
in an elevator
Such ingenuity is characteristic of
Japanese engineering behaviour
Completed in a narrow triangled arena
It stands
World Tallest Free~standing
Communications Tower

When a fixer meets a fixer, it's double time,
The purpose and fulfillment become aligned,
Meanings are worthwhile, they hold weight,
The love has agreements that were already premade,
Fate sets out a hand to hold with true value,
The energy sparks through the echoes within you,
The scales start to tilt and hearts become one,
The battles unseen, yet inside are won,
The frequency moves, the wave becomes large,
The spark in the dark that ignites the heart to recharge,
Visibility isn't just seeing with our own two eyes,
It's a connection inside that brings sight to life.
