lost those days, long
With chums laughed, played, loved
Young vibrant days

Craziness of mind
Reminiscing now

a reason we shall never know
where there be life there be sorrow

The Womanizer

To him all women are hallowed
minus those that hustle themselves.

How instantly and cunningly
they commit truculent acts
yet never bribed by mischief

except by rendezvous.

slipped into Universe 12 to borrow a spare quantum-flux;
returned with three versions of himself in tow,
each insisting they were the one who’d invented tomorrow.

Leery of Love

love, thy wanton ways
and the mischief in thy eyes,
i bemoan my fate:
like a moth drawn to the flame
like a fish biting the bait.
