If only my wishes
had come to me earlier
Much less than I settled for
—still more than I deserved
(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)
If more is less
then less is more
Is it too skimpy
Are models whores
Fashion's dress
is less and less
What's more ~
Skin's a bore
drinking wine in my new stemless
less is more
more or less
the stem that is
swim in the stemless
with
wine turned to water
exception: celebration
Les Moore went down to the liquor store
But then wound up passed out on the floor
He woke Gin anointed
And guite disappointed
So I guess you might say less is more
There is reflection in your passing by, there is a tooth an eye for an eye.
Come my dear, come quick some clear.
Arrive, now gone, I’ve met your type, good bye my love until next time.
A short-lived blossom of Spring like a mayfly that lives for the day,the pathos of beauty so fleeting,a few syllables that remain,where less is more and the image livesits life forever, in memory.

CORRUPT
Laws and yet more laws show
Show corruption at the door
When less is more sense flow
Deplete with ooze that pours

Evermore was all I ever wanted.
All I ever wanted was you forever more.
But you insisted, “Less is more.”
Less is, more or less, all you ever gave me.
And all you ever gave me left me cold forever more.
Why stop now? Look past the obvious. All night out. Non-stop conciousness. Oxygen
between cigerettes. Once again I'm a drunk mess. Less is more unless you're wreckless.
Pedal to the floor they'll never catch us.

Solitary Times When Less Is More, TY
I can
do more,
write less,
keep score,
This moment, I can, hope to write less.
With much leaner pen, do more, keep score.

Less is more for it opens our heart’s door,
whence simply by choosing not to resist,
blissful in the boat God Himself does oar,
free from mundane riff-raff, no to-do list,
in staid stillness, we become a bliss mist,
whereupon all illusions fall away
and we see the light of Self, clear as day.
HAIKU EKPHRASIS
A short-lived blossom of Spring
like a mayfly that lives for the day,
the pathos of beauty so fleeting,
a few syllables that remain,where
less is more and the image lives
its life forever, in memory.
Listen to me read this ekphrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
less is more
except where it concerns
the spoken words
and we don't so much
need to heed
the words of those who know
less is more
Locked deep within an onyx gaze
wrap me in your perfect darkness;
Semi sweet taste of chocolate
painting your luxurious lips;
My blindfolded sixth sense betrays
deprivation with so much finesse;
Releasing peace lying dormant,
less is more on these types of trips;
Let these eyes remain closed always,
lost in each ebony caress.
Sobriety is the key,
The missing key all these years,
Covid-19 has taught us moderation,
Muted celebrations,
No scale, pomp or extravagance,
No more crowds,
An uncertain world,
Covid-19 made us rethink,
Social distancing is happening,
Minimalist approaches,
In today’s toxic environments,
We need to come together,
For a better shared future.
To be in the red is a glorious feeling,
If fleeting, I have my moment of victory
Numbers where less is more and red,
Red, RED flows like liquid love
Ever so pleasing to mine eyes.
Practice, practice everyday
All my practice has not been in vain
Joy, Joy, JOY for the victor
Driven to suceed, through the
Explosion, gray smoke and gun powder
It is not bad to step outside
I learned it is not bad to
If it is causing more damage than not
I was wrong to say I was right
Bad decisions are what I tell
But I learned so much more
About anyone, About myself
It isn't bad to step outside
And to get to know that less is more
No, well. Do not believe the adverts.
It is not bad to step outside, No
my needs are simple
when isolated
from my wants
it took a while
to realize
my many wants
were mere
obstructions
preventing me
from
focusing
on my dreams

Luther had a tendency to write with prolixity
using six adjectives when two would do
there were no breaks in his text
his missives were written as a brick pedestal
solid from side to side, top to bottom
Many who read the words of other poets skipped his
preferring to spend their time on smaller less wordy missives
Oftentimes less is more
in poetry as well as art.
Heart always tries
Hate always lies
Fear complies
Conundrum tears
fall midstream
Rationalization relents
Reason wins out
Confidence returns
Loss is gain
Less is more
Patterns lost
A better life ensues
Moments of abiding
Consciousness complete
Emptiness explained
Spiritual sailing
Means justify ends
Lie, Death we walk as one
We trip the Black hole together
I'll ask no questions -
You're the less is more kind,
But I'm clearly confused,
And seeing I'm blind
To what you don't say,
The next time now,
You're going to stay?
You were wrong
When you left right?
If I remember to forget,
And agree not to fight,
Hey! while the sun shines there,
Or whatever the stormy weather
As long as its fair,
We can be alone together?
Creation is peace,
the opposite of war,
the fight is what,
the fighting is for,
please do not enter,
through exit doors,
please, please explain,
why less is more.
Please, please explain,
please, please explain,
I don't have answers and I'm in pain,
please, please explain,
please, please explain,
I don't know much and you know less than me.
please, please explain
Listen to poem:
in a world of information overload
it's refreshing to be succinct
in a few words to pass a message so punchy
that it gives one cause for a pause
in a world where time is at a premium
it's appreciated to be respected
to share what one has to say with panache
and every word striking its mark
being sold on the notion that less is more

Where less is more or more or less
belongings serve to make.
That poorer people lead the way
in habits sure to wake.
To want for what is more than need
and feel your body ache.
While forced to find your own excitement
and live with what you make.
Where joy will come to you in time.
Your patience for the wait.
To find it where you'd least expect-
from others with your fate.
