of one so shy .. the other bold

To the man who oft ensnares
My own heart and soul
With the power of his soul,
Always making me feel whole.

but oft, they dwell, until the dawn
or stay the day without invite;

SOCKS
Satisfied as a pair,
Oft caught cuddling.
Close knit.
Knotted together as one in marriage —
Symmetry of opposites.

Forests, hills, mountains, and ground

We told our tales with eager eyes,
Regale with our silly blather,
Then, have sodas, burgers, and fries.

just disappear
like bubbles burst
on waters sheer
Silent 'neath
one era's mystery
They whisper oft
through history

The once was an old private Dick
who oft bought lottery quick picks
Raja’s corner store
sold tickets galore
Dick went broke and paid him with tricks.

One born to greatness is oft ill-fated
His swift denouement unanticipated
All the advantages repudiated
~ by his own dagger eviscerated

dealing with humans
oft leaves me feeling as though
they are dried seaweeds
cold of bright spirit
clammy with the residue
of having brushed life

Ribbon oft relayed
Striking in its form outcast
Deliberate scheme
Overtaken by horror
She shies an ominous sight

There was a gent named Hackle
With a temper he’d oft unshackle.
He was known to scream
Uttering curses in a stream
And then pop, snap, and crackle.
