A Complicated Couple

Kellyanne and George Conway:
One lauds Trump in every way.
One says he’s a damn freak show.
How they’re married, I don’t know.

“The book of you is complicated…
how shall I read it?“ I purred…
“By turning my pages slowly”…she grinned…
“and savoring every word.”

Love is complicated
Love is kind
Love is their name comming off of mine

Love is sweet
Love is unique
Love is their hugs in the rain

It's a Dog's Life

Such a silly, stupid dog
(Not nearly as smart as me)
You just grin and wag your tail
Refusing to face the fact
That life is complicated

The Grand Paradox

Life is simple if you don’t complicate it.
Life is complicated if you don’t simplify it.
Life is what you make of it.
Life is what makes you.

Time

Time is a concept 
But if you’re honest
It’s the most wasted 
Sometimes complicated
When all you’ve done is waited
For memories to be created

Dont Judge a Book By Its Cover

I look i lack,
Tiny titanic,
Complicated simple,
Just the way i roll up,
Gives you
No clue of me.
Dont judge me by my cover,
Look in and discover.

Simple Words

I'd like to start this out by saying

Those simple words

I love you

Before it gets complicated

With

Those simple words

I love you

So Devine

As by some devine presence,
I've been burdened with the gift of life.

Things become completely complicated,
playing this game,
our teeth become enticed.

Dodeca (Hedron)

Twelve faces. 
Endless races.
Complicated beyond belief.
Understanding gains great relief.
Shaped and shapeless.
Taste and tasteless
Dodeca-
Hedron.

Premium Member DAILY GRATITUDE RABBITS

Today I’m grateful for rabbits
I often wonder if they were created…
to remind us life is meant to be simple…
and it is us who make it complicated…

Black and White?

life is complicated
its not so simple

there is no black and white
i may seem evil for wanting you 

but you see what is true 
im completely in love with you

Pet Peave

Small wonder I’m your master
You just grin and wag your tail
refusing to face the fact
that life is complicated
Such a STUPID dog...

Day to day chaos 
balancing family and work 
chomping on the bills 
that never seem to cease 
why does life seem so complicated? 
When ancient days were so simple

Triangle

Geometry's so complicated
It is somewhat overrated.
Parallelograms amuse,
Trapeziums confuse,
But if you dangle 
This triangle,
I bet you’ll
get the
point

Undecided...

its not complicated how we feel
between embraces and the kisses we steal
from the broken heart to the heart that can heal
the love we have is hard to believe its real

Premium Member It's not complicated

Our park bench patiently awaits
a fresh november breeze delights
autumn leaves ablaze in the setting sun
~ love is a walk in the park

Not Blind Yet

...just got my passport pictures today and as usual my wings are again visible...and so are the hairs on my palms...being an angel is, for the most part unbelievably complicated.

As Simple As Love

Before I saw you, before
I know you.
I thought love did not exist.
It is complicated and waste.
As soon as you entered my life.
There is nothing in the world, 
As simple as love….
