Chasing your love's fulfillment
You're shocked when theirs spills away...

Others would simply punch you in the eye

The road you take
A flip of a coin as to which would apply...

In all ages of the world fiction has lured the obtuse 
Afterward act accordingly to the dictates of your best judgment...

Dusk and dawn,
Sunshine and night gloom,
He calls them to order, 
He dictates their timeline.

of ships from afar;

in its path;
dictates where clouds
are to move,
and when to separate;
it continually blows
without getting exhausted.......

Age dictates the length of the day in hours
If your eyes start closing
Having “it” while dozing
You know it's time to kick up the flowers...

Art deco dictates a strong womanly arrogance 
Her orange hair accented her headdress true
I saw her in a vision dream, of course only once
She parades herself in a painting, looking haughty and new....

entropy dictates my course

yet I embrace it.

the seeds of new life are sown
the cycle goes on....

Strike a match 
that distracts 
but dictates
a reflective gaze.
Eyes, witness 
something profound
as the candle melts
pooling, cooling
until the wick
is no longer sustained.
Its flame flickers
then fades....

President Donald Trump
He’s a bombastic chump
Who dictates to others using twitter
His sanctions make some feel bitter

Its dial white looks free of grime
new cleaning time awaits .
Loud presence yea with polished sheen

Why Not
Miracle Man
4/16/2024

To God, we sometimes,
may question why me?
Then we wonder if God,
has heard our plea.
When faith has grown weak,
and we’ve missed God’s plot. 
Strong faith always dictates,
not why me, but why not.

You shimmer much the same
As the waning moon behind me.
You glow, but not for long
And not for me.
You will last,
Until the night dictates another shape,
For her you'll bend,
Then I must break.
Your light is full, then half, then none,
A world apart from the constant Sun....

Seeking wisdom
shall we find
the dictates of
a shattered mind

written wildly
on the run
scribble everything
you've done

suck the wind
right through
your spine

the hollow tune's
a haunted rhyme

blast of passion
mixed with power
written in the
witching hour...
