Nightmare here,
visions and dreams,
converge or diverge....

Two paths Diverge in the yellow woods, 
I took the one that led to Burger King....

On arrival we kiss.
On departure we weep.
Lives so different merge.
Lives so similar diverge....

Diverge collided now
I Question oh why horror 
See what I see here

Is unaccompanied and
I feel I will not be good.

A bright horizon
Promising tomorrows dreams
Future yet unknown

Uncertainty looms
Paths diverge before my feet
Which shall I choose

Beyond the present 
A world of endless change
Future's mystery...

Nights unveil the darkness 
Of dreary, dismal days
Thoughts plummet deeply 
And diverge in disarray
Anxieties surmount
Ability to cope is seized
Sad face, a pseudo-smile
Hope barely within reach

Thou who judges a man by disease.
Cares not for him,but only what he sees.
Contrast layers of self emerge.
Paths of the same,intent to diverge.
Thy scorn pain of ridicule concurred.
Will not lash my right of life preferred....

Divergences

Are the stories told

Of paths and choices

Of seeking for an

Improvement..

Of paths not taken..

Regrets and doubts..

Better choices ahead

All rolled up as

Divergences of what

Does not diverge......

a woman's face wears many masks
her precious secrets to conceal
so a man may sit and ponder
if what he sees is truly real

he's a very clear-headed man
who takes his time and sets his goal
he's sure to see the masks diverge
as he taps on the door to her soul...

the one whose heart centre is closed
head over heart, actions hard nosed
ego in focus, soul asleep
yet to take the consciousness leap
they too will rise becoming wise
truth of love and light realise
but for now our life paths diverge
which in timeless time will converge...

Two lured hearts intertwine,
dream up life’s tapestry with lattice of desire 
on cloud nine.

Two paths diverge, 
master courage to defy her
spat surge.

At night 
lovers ceasefire
fight.

Two lured hearts intertwine,
master courage to defy her
fight.

Emotive Urge


     Emotive urge surges
   
                 either to converge  on obsession

                          or to diverge through lamentation
 
                                         or runs parallel with confusion.

Expressive words I express in crisis situations of my distress.
Displace impression diverge inception irrational irritation.
Been one of those days were self-confidence lacks the determination due to hostile aggression.
Observing the observer in crisis times just a smile tells a thousand lies.

Chastened 

by expectations.

Seasoned 

by trial.

All journeys 

begin

 the same.

Roads diverge,

 yet all

end

at 

the same

 destination.

Experiences vary,

stories differ.

But

 the results 

the same.

Progress

 occurs 

by the nectar 

left behind.

In this way,

 the hive 

is built....

In life, we face choices at every turn..
Decisions that make our restless hearts yearn.
Paths diverge and our fate is intertwined..
Each choice a step that shapes our own mind.

With trepidation, we ponder and assess..
For each option presents its own duress.
Yet in the end, it is our own voice..
That leads us forward, that guides our choice....

Doubt and overthinking.
Decisive memory is shared.
Destroy our sensitive psyche.
Diverge goals in the actual world. 
Deadly embrace of neon light.
Distortions were utterly blown.
Despite dares, I'm spotless. 
Don't be afraid, I'll turn the wheel.
Discovers the magic
Distinction shapes the levels.

halfway to heaven
on the border to hell
here on the surface
condemned to dwell
floating in limbo
perched in oblivion
false gaiety blocking
and scarring my vision
life is x marked by destiny
the path obscured by today
two roads diverge
but i chose neither way
expression is freedom
and choice is divine
both strictly governed
by place and by time...

Once upon a time, we know,
Is how most stories start,
But from that moment, lives diverge
To endings far apart.

For circumstances change the course
Of how one might get raised,
Including whether actions
May be criticized or praised.

And whether one’s existence
Has more sorrow or more laughter
May determine if the outcome
Will be happy ever after.

An elusive virtue drives the urge
for a bard’s excessive verbiage purge
The obscure phrase one seems to splurge
begins clear meaning to submerge
and song becomes a funeral dirge
as lovely phrases each diverge

One strives to make them all converge
by adding words to coax the merge
and blend them so they may emerge as
“Wow! Look at that beautiful sunset!”...

intelligence diverge upon starlight

shrouded in extrubiant relight

             candles melter in resplendent swelter


    i belt out a belting belter


wax drip drop drips on burned lips
swinging out swingsets from smashed and cracked hips

meow woof howl

digging in the sky with a trowel

Lives diverge. 
Maybe that's a core rule; 
the child leaves the parent, 
or worse, the parent leaves the child. 
Either way there is emptiness somewhat like a death. 
Whatever the circumstances, the relationship is changed forever. 
Distance is both literal and emotional; voices become cautious 
(She doesn't need to know about that.), opacity arrives.
What were once specifics become generalities. 
And so it goes......

Will you still love me when years roll on by
And face to face we see changes appear?
Still hold my hand when the storm clouds draw nigh,
Stand by my side as the future we steer?
Till voices weaken and with fading sigh
Pathways diverge to a final frontier?
On bended knee he looks into her eyes -
'Why my dear Alfred, of course' she replies.

Within myself, I occasionally  lose all aspects of life.
In doing so, my thoughts diverge from common
sense, to irretrievable loss as past happiness.
Definite conceptual knowledge of reality and an
obedient witness inspired by God's word;
momentous changes as I walk accord to wisdom in faith.

Nostalgic glimpse of her just now,
Mere passing glance outside this store,
Her older face reminding how
We dated once in days of yore

When tight, we’d cling all through a dance
Or wallow in wet sultry kiss—
It floods my mind, our brief romance,
Those heady nights of passion’s bliss,

But lives diverge, we grew apart;
Our flame went out, a brief duet,
And now a wife controls my heart,
So on I walk, free from regret....

So many marriages
  Are failing today

Not because of disappointing sex
  That's not why your lover's your ex

And don't tell me your stars no longer align
  Or that 'interests naturally diverge' over time

Psychologists will point to a lack of communication
  'Cos it'll get 'em featured in a magazine publication

No, Folks -- The real reason for a couple's cold war
  Is that the other won't admit that he or she snores...
