Claimless Torch

I am immersed into your darkness
As I wait for your return

Holding on to Amber claimless
If I let loose you'll feel the burn

You lit a torch into my vein
Did you kindle it with care

As the empty sky desists its reign
Will it distend my hungry stare

In a Bind

In every criminal there is a child -
With the face of your son,
The hands of your brother.

A mother held him once, she lulled him to sleep. When he cried she soothed him.

The weary heart that longs to forgive-
The marriage of family, it never desists.

I live in a sad state,
The anger retreats, but that is just me.
I can simple forgive but I cannot forget.
To do so would be foolish and fools are just that.

A lady who lived in Korea Had terrible verbal diarrhea Her hubby called Bill Said, “Keep your tongue still, Quit carping and bending my ear” Bill’s desperate for a lil’ peace But her acid tongue will not cease From morning to night He gets no respite From nagging needs some release Bill seeks advice from friend Odette She says, “Buy a gag as a threat” His wife takes the hint She desists, its mint Bill’s over the moon you can bet!
