My dark fantasies are growing bleaker,
Blithely flogging this attention seeker,
Why am I so pissed?
This bore must insist,
To take all his phone calls on speaker....

Every singles seeker
    becomes weaker and weaker
  unless he believes in himself

  Meeker and meeker
    bleaker and bleaker
  'til he puts his lures back on the shelf...

With Playful Eyesight

With playful eyesight he became a peeker;
Through tough times which were bleaker;
When we had read,

We realized that the source was a leaker.

A tempered thought comes to mind ---
A not so simple thing, when people act unkind ---
As each and every day seems bleaker and mundane ---
It's not that difficult to imagine why people go insane ---

to believe the hype
when my core views

Laid blank in the Sun, not child anymore.
And now that your face is a stranger today,
And stranger acquaintances got in the way,
There's not any sadness, there's not even pain,
Just a wholeness... or numbness...
They both feel the same....
