Premium Member Aura of Haze
wrapped in summer's
aura of haze
an almost full moon
alternately
bursts forth and withdraws
withdraws and springs forth
plays 'peek-a-boo'
with this nyctophiliac...

Premium Member Marveling, Weeping
   Alternately marveling
     and weeping
   at what’s occurred 
     in my country

   An assassin’s bullet
     now a bloodless coup
   in a span of eight days
     ~ a convention too

Premium Member Witch of Winter
Judging our tensile strength

As she furiously reams 

Nibbling away at our armor

Undeterred by wishes or dreams

Alternately pushing and pulling

Rending our world with her blast

Yanking us apart at the seams...

Unrewarded Affection
Nothing really ends alternately,
reversing the life story endlessly.
Dressing own life with a passionate dream,
comes the selfishness reincarnated as a being.

The dramatic flows comes to an end,
gap between them is so wide to paint.
remembering the story is so much to take,
forsaking the past as their story becomes a fake....

Love Flows Down Lonely
daughter, Emily says
"pa,
grape
peach
strawberry
Take and eat it with ma
doesn't taste good"
listening to our conversation
my grandson Daniel
He looks at us alternately and shakes his head
As Emily meets son Daniel
she asks
"Are you going to eat strawberries?"
Then eyes twinkle
Daniel says
"huh"
Then my daughter Emily told me
"Daddy, leave the strawberries here"....

Making choices
The routes we choose are choices.
The paths that take us to our destiny.
To save our life, we must make intelligent decisions.
on the choices we ultimately make.
We can decide to be courageous and resilient,
Or just go along for the ride.
We have the option to be kind and sincere.
Or you could be truthful and act selfishly.
We can decide to learn and be sage,
Alternately, go the stupid route and unlearn

Premium Member Are You Real
I woke up from a dream 
Of silliness I can't remember,
Though I am sure you were in it.

You are always there on the edge
Of my unconscience wandering
On the map to I don't know where.

Some say dreams are an alternate world
As real as the one in which I breath,
And in which, perhaps, you alternately exist.

Do you dream of me?

Find me and flood me with your silliness,
So in this world of joyless reality
I might laugh again....
