A Cautionary tale
trail and error
Wasted years of
Needless drama
ups and downs
Failed attempts at
Reversing damage done
an annoying fly
insists on sharing my lunch
two attempts...and splat!

I am not the sun
Which your world revolves upon;
To you, I'm nothing.
-
Such classic beauty
As hers aglow that Venus
Would die of envy.
How she devours fare
And still look fairly pretty
Is beyond me.
---
Her exotic eyes,
Like clear December skies,
Can melt hearts of ice.
Trixie
my muse
torments daily
waking me up at three am
Trixie
my muse
ignores my meager attempts at domination
For she is the queen of us
Voices filling my mind
vailed beneath languid lips,
voraciously needing
valerian release.
Vain are my attempts to
vocalize her desire.

she rescued herself
leaving an abusive man
family felt relief
not understanding danger
restraining order
seemed to irritate her ex
abuser hunted her down
MESSAGE
Miles of ocean cable
Mostly North Atlantic
Many attempts it took
Meaning could have been lost
More likely weak signals
Morse code was the default
Like snapshots our memories are
Fleeting only in seconds passing
Rewind to double expose and overlap
Attempts to organize and remember
Flashes by at the end
Flowers placed on grave
showing attempts to connect
lost without my mom

thwarted are
your attempts to
sway me
simply put;
I have moved
on.
whatever
your motivation
may be
guaranteed,
I'm much too
strong.
Worries etched in despair and blood.
Outrageous attempts to masquerade us.
Righteously hidden in the wrongs.
Drowning out the truth.
Significantly affecting youthful minds.
Emotionally
beat down
Over time
spent in
Emotionally
draining
Encounters
Of the
childish kind
In misguided
Youthful
Attempts
At gaining
Another's
Acceptance
Three attempts to rob was just a huge mess.
Frustrated, angry, I decided to walk with a bat.
Next five of my attempts brought me a success,
The wisest idea, no doubt in that!
Ed’s suicide attempts have to harden.
So Ed said to his wife “beg your pardon,
can you give me a cup
to fill up with ‘roundup”.
“Just don’t have your last pee on my garden!”
Kiwi felt like a giant klutz
Tried to fly, but he fell on his butts.
After six attempts, said “this is nuts”.
He began to walk then from huts to huts.
Here he comes; he is a p........
underhanded
attempts
meant to
act as a
means to
an end
just ended
up to bring
about the
proverbial
end of everything
that was once
established within
this reality
someone attempts to cheat us
to protect ourself is alright
but how do we react
is the question
can we embrace
oozing compassion
or are we trigger happy
seething with burning rage
My first attempts at haiku
Lost Youth
she gazed on memories
and reached to claim the shadows
of lost youth
Heat
he struck a match
her face emerged in the glow
he felt the heat
S- incere attempts to understand.
I- mediate love and care.
S- hares pain and fear.
T- ells the truth and sacrifices lies.
E- ncourages in everyway possible.
R- eaches out to share many a tear.
Lost in thy abyss
Frozen in time
Only to lose my life
Never felt so cold
Failed attempts to breathe
Death grips my soul
Fading away now
Swallowed in shadows
Darkness consumes my eyes
I never knew life
Amazing, how easily we can be bewitched
By someone who deliberately flips our switch.
Better to ignore all attempts to belittle us
Just hang up the phone and have a good cuss!

If the climb be arduous
the peak hidden in mist
He who attempts it
may cease and desist
Yet if the slope seem gentle
the mountain but a hill
Beseech Heavenly protection
for any climber unskilled
well-spoken well-meaning
attempts at getting to the
heart of the matter getting
down to the root of the problem
never worked out to my benefit
always went a stray off onto another
tangent of intangibility
A mind so full
of empty,
An emptiness
to bear,
A heart attempts
but broken,
So deep
without a care,
A gentle way
forsaken,
A shoulder
not a tear,
A soul with
hidden sorrow,
No laughter
anywhere.
