Short Licit Poems

He desired her
He knew it illicit
And yet he couldn't

He knew her
He knew it licit

Santa paid you a visit
  Asking your wish not licit
    Wishes come true in surprises
      Dream simple, present comes double
        Dream more, gifts granted like bubble

Though she won't wait.
And I am taken aback.

When no one looks, just do what's right 
Like an unsupervised stop sign 
Don't just do right when you're in sight

Ride on to claim your own medal 
Brace your mind in covers of steel 

Ride with the flow of licit song 
Sway with the flare of red and green 
Blow your horn like a honking gong 
Watch what goes on on your front screen...

Donning threads I don't desire.
I heave and acquire.
Deep. Dismay!

Life gameplay
Will you tire this dire
Expand; love; improve higher -
Your psyche and flesh are your wickets.
Life isn't obvious, some concern, much merit....
