Knots of Life

When a blob of water merges with the sea its bliss.
But when the sea ebbs into a droplet, 
it becomes a gordian knot!

Practicing hard at his yoga,
Cato convolved with his toga.
The news he was caught
In this Gordian Knot
Spread to the land of Busoga.

Herculean Task

Family is like running the Gauntlet and tackling the Gordian Knot.

Ocurrence

We’ve broken apart; 
a tub of salty tears,
a tub of bitter regrets. 
We are piercing the world 
as a pair 
of new odd shoes. 
Somebody have cut 
the Gordian knot 
that kept tight
our hearts and our laces.

one by one, as we join the dots
attention quanta, in small lots
relies on memory recall
both pleasant and fears that appall
flummoxed by life’s Gordian knots

Dilemma 2

the Gordian Knot
will not untie
a tricky tangle
much like spaghetti
if it is not cut quick
or if it is not untied
then our dearest dreams
will all have died
what savior hero
will disperse the night
for the hour is late
and the cords are so tight

Premium Member The Fool

A lone gunman enters a school
he is nothing more than a fool

He claims the lives of the innocent
But to heaven they will all be sent

There is no reason behind the chaos
Behind the maddening gordian knot

I pray that peace will rule the world
For all of our boys and girls

0nly Choice

Nights torn to shreds
     streams of lava burn my hands
Days tied into Gordian knots
     drops of blood linger in my eyes
A whirlwind of thoughts
     swirls in my mind,
               unable to unravel.
 
Neither I’m able to live lively
    nor able to die decisively.

Premium Member Stars In Her Eyes

stars in her eyes, fleeting…her broken heart
like confetti - the century’s storm, smart.

Ben didn’t rush - the Gordian knot tight.
He cuts grief’s umbilical cord - Kate’s knight

pinkens her cheeks, pastes back her smile. the stars -
Kate’s crowd surfing, beyond clouds, above the scars.

Warmth

I feel her heartbeat close to mine.
We are interwoven like a Gordian knot,
Praying that Alexander cannot tear us apart.

I feel her breath caress my skin.
We hold each other tightly, less we forget how
we feel in each others arms.

I feel her warmth seep into mine,
In that moment I feel as heavenly as an angel,
Yet as human as the girl in my arms.

Warmth, touch, blood and Love.

The Telltale Tongue

Tyrannical,
tourette-ical,
tic-tic-tic-tic-tocking,
twisting, tangling, tumbling,
the words tie in tight Gordian knots
trying to flee the faltering tongue
in a staggering, staccato rhythm, 
sounds now chat, chat, chat, chattering 
out of his mouth as unpredictable 
and uncoordinated utterances; 
as if, as if, as if, AS....IF
they were bubbles, popping
as they rise, rise 
from the depths 
of the sea.

A Bundle of Happiness

Life is a bundle of double happiness
hidden deep inside is purest part
the sweetest and most desired of all

Surrounding the purest are coils
constituting peripheral happiness
majority access and consume it

Those desirous of greatest happiness
spend lifetime searching, hankering
for the string that leads to it

Like the Gordian note only a few
can identify the single secret coil
that leads to the greatest happiness

Ahem, Grandpa Tequila

The Holy Bible is a Journal.   
On the desk, and it's definitely 
not made of Mahogany, 
it's lightly-stained Oak.

The blanket is Navaho.   It's All Sacred.   
Those Impeccable Tribes of the Desert -via the Fountaini

 - will make more,  but the Object can't be Programmed.

It's one of the gadflies or juggernauts , 
some say Gordian Knots, 
of Simulation "Theory."

It's REALLY HARD (some say - ahem - difficult) to simulate a Grandpa.

Wife, Sacred Heart Difficult Duty

Wife is pain killer
You get stressed  and pain is all over
By society, work place
She gives her heart and stress flies away

Wife is garbage collector
You are tortured, cut, scattered
By problems, challenges
She collects you again into one piece

Wife is nutcracker
You find difficulties, you are  lost
By  Gordian knot-like issues
She suggests solutions and you smile again

Wife with sacred heart but difficult duty
Deserves honor and respect from society

Haze, Daze and Whimsy Ways

there was a wicked wench
with a wicked vent
a wicked way and away she went
to a pink picket house
beside a picket fence
and a picket sentry in residence

she minded Gothic kids
having great Gothic pals
who drew Gothic art on gorgeous gals
plus a peg-leg pooch 
jet black named Spot
whose tail’s tied in a Gordian knot

the neighbors all knew
what we knew not
that what we had is what we got
in a different box
of mixed chocolates
pixy stix and forget-me-nots
