Rainy day
Wet dog on pavement
Looking in
Seeing me
Sit by the cosy fireside
Ignoring its plight.

Dream what may come
Recalling past lives lived
Every fantasy comes to life
All night long
More nightmares to come
So many worlds to explore

My seed, I must admit I never even once wanted
Sitting unreallisticaly, at a doctors office
Waiting for my name to be called and to terminate this

Will I ever know how to write
Will you ever know what I wrote
When I was idolized and free to write?
Will it ever come to be eternally
That in the grave fore I lie
In the world I never die?

September 7, 1982
a date I shall always remember
for on that date, I met my fate
for eight years
I dreamt of meeting her
then she walked into my life.

Though the attackers are many in number
The escaper is courageous and clever
So the attackers have failed to harm that
The escaper has befooled them in fact
Though the danger is dense and severe
The Strategic Manager is called the Savior.

If patriotism really is in brain and mind
All superstitions, crimes instantly go out
Let's grow there the great patriotic zeal
And we do never ourselves lively kill
Real patriotism makes us really great
Fake one makes narrow and hypocrite.

The winter stood amaze,
As the summer set the atmosphere a-blaze.
The swaying maiden is found in nought,
For the scorching sun had with it fought.
All dawn does the sun arrives early,
And the lady could no longer tarry.

Sitting under a tree, old and grey
No flowers to bloom, leaves falling down
Birds desert the nests, no one to play around
The clouds are around, they hold no charm
Gave shade to many, no one to shade us
Waiting to fall one day, are we made for each other?

Choosing a faithful woman to fulfill this fate
to bring forth a baby with a loud scream;
sweet cry so innocent piercing air and soul,
touch him tenderly: he is the fruit of our seed!
May his faith shed light on doubt and darkness...
let's hope that his deeds and words will be fine.

Appearance w/o an Opposite..
Oppositions
We observe today with expectation
In that stretch of the future..
But in a new time..as time is exposed
Oppositions are also exposed..and the
Seamless sounds..quivering and revealing:
Appearances..beauty expressing
Nothing at all..

What is wealth without happiness?
Mansions that allow them to sleep in different rooms,
Expensive cars that allow them not to travel together,
Chef meals that allow them not to cook for each other,
For it's very much possible for wealth to hide deep sorrows,
As naked happiness lies in the poor!

Despair...
limp hair
falling:
screaming!
A cure...
for sure?
Quick-fix...
Rogaine!
Who laughs?
Who cares!
I'm young,
not old!
Ladies
notice...
dark suit,
white shirt:
free-way
to joy!
All stare...
fanfare:
not hot
to perk?
Petty...
not me!

Butterfly
{Sestet}
Sep 11, 2017• By daniel miltz •
A splendid butterfly, floated out there
I stood there frozen, watching, winging flight
Gazing its beauty, then onto the air
Its rippled wings, shivered ever so bright
I couldn't allow it, be out of my stare
While looking at such beautiful invite

To live in beauty is to flower the heart
To walk in beauty is to blossom the being from start
To truth in beauty is to think positive thoughts abound
To see in beauty is to view it all around
To pleasure in beauty is to exalt the spirit 'n mind
To define in beauty is to shape, color, form, sight combined

I have cat that wakes me.
At night when she wants a pet
She determines when it's time.
Why does she choose the time?
I'd like that time to be chosen by me.
When I have to pet.
A cat that determines when it's time to pet.
I think she thinks she owns me.
I think she owns everyone's time.
She does own me cause I pet her on her time.

BOWLING FUN
Bowling can be fun
But – ball in
gutter?
Ball point reaches
pins
12 strikes – perfect
game
No strikes – dirty,
rotten shame
Ha, ha, aint this
fun?
Have another beer
When you can see
twenty pins
Bowling can be fun
My wife has beat me
She only weighs
one-twenty
Bowled her weight
plus ten

Poor men with wealthy lives are low dead
Dead and poor low mens lives were wealthy
Wealthy dead with lives poor were low men
Low and wealthy men had dead poor lives
Lives low remembering poor wealthy dead men
Wealthy lives are dead those low poor men
Poor lives are dead those low wealthy men

Beneath moon shadows.
Elwood's room looks like an owl's moon.
Owl's nest has curled around the clock, knotted lost tick tock.
Trick or treat is catching up with the clock.
It's quite clear now strawberry snail is on paper with it's appetite,
to eat of this tale.
