Short Evened Poems

A time of simplicity has evened the snow in me, which
was not needed.
What it blinds is illuminated by the beauty of the universe.
Snow falls over Europe, over China.

If I don’t set foot in the tiger’s lair, how will I get to know
it’s breed?...

Politics
in Hyde Park
was at the end of a shtick

FDR’s mouthpiece
a cigarette holder
suspended over
his spinning wheels

Pearl Harbor
a puff of smoke

It was a new deal
It was big

The peace pipe
signaling
W A R

USA
evened the score

All bets are off
So tired of playing foolish games
You think you've won but
Then it always ends the same
At first you're on top
You know you've evened up the score
Then lose it all
You've nothing left, there is no more
Yet then the Dealer say's He'll give another shot
He asks for little, just that you give back from the heart
It sounds so easy so you say, so deal me in
It's worth it all,God sees the good and not the sin...

No clouds only bluish skies
Since the day you caught my eyes
Making my heart flutter fast
Forgetting my painful past
Of the men before you who
Left me alone, sad and blue
Lying, cheating and much more
But you evened up the score
Erasing all the memories
That was badly haunting me
No more nightmares of sadness
You light up the blackness
That was covering my heart
Giving me a joyful start
To a new relationship
With you my life did a flip...
