The ratio 'round to across,
That's pi, in a one-sentence gloss.
It may not seem much,
But still, it is such
As that to all rhythm, it's boss.

Buck a Roo

Bucking the trend setter
of lines
never having a friend
do you like the journey so far
Yes i am talking to you
and the ones 
who know that this
is one sentence 
and all must come to an end.

of reminding us that our bodies
do not always agree with
what our minds have decided to do

Of Depth

depth is a profound 
abyss that can be  
firmly filled with 
bottomless 
notions of 
metaphoric
intensity leading 
to the darkness of 
                  wisdom.

Anticipation is like
the gnawing of a
hungry squirrel that
cracks open a nut
with the outcome of 
a delighted squirrel
or a rotten nut.

Of Love

Love within its stupor

an emotional rollercoaster 

ride of instability for 

before you know it 

you’re down again.

Of a Writer Wondering Whether a Character Acts At His Will

A writer 
wondering whether a character acts at his will 
is just a character 
acting against his will 
in the another writer's work 
about free will.

Of Love

    Love oozes, surges
    cascades on opulence
    rushing with emotive urge,
    flows in elegance,
    yet fades, becomes feeble, frail,
    dries, decays, dies, gets extinct
    completing life cycle.

Eternity
is the eager
but infertile
earth that
we plant
our seeds
of love and
heaven and
promise in
with the
knowledge
that they
will never
blossom.

In the Beginning

We had fire in our eyes,
In the beginning, 
I never felt so alive,
In the beginning,
You blame me,
But It's not fair,
When you say that I didn't try,
I just don't wanna hear it anymore,
I swear I never meant to let it die,
I just don't care about you anymore. <(The one sentence I wish was true.)

Premium Member Of Sorrow

Sorrow is

the night’s rainstorm

lashing an impoverished psyche

wandering lost with loss 

‘neath weeping eaves in murky-minded alleyways

without an umbrella.

and with

its splendid shore

Chaos is but

   a furious gust

  of wind blowing

through the desert

   glorying order

  overwhelmingly

      with sand 

      and dust.
