Caps and bare Polar Bear
Unawares We too soon despair
Repair....

There never were cookies in prayers
And facebook was caught unawares
Zuckerberg cried,
"Suppose they lied!
Let's prophet from Pubic Affairs!"...

Unawares of the steps in the future
In ponder I stand on the edge of past
Shiva and Janus all rolled in a one
The errors of yesteryears are many...

Please Hide Me

Please hide me under the blanket,
There’s somebody coming upstairs.
I’ve taken off my night shirt,
and don’t want to be caught unawares....

Rasputin, known as the Russian mad monk,
Was wandering through the abbey quite drunk,
He was caught somewhat unawares
By a descending flight of stairs,
His long cloak causing an ecclesiastical slump....

Oh! Thus 
came the 
saddened 
breeze
Wrapped 
me in the 
feathers of 
unawares
How my 
helpless 
rationale 
bid to 
cease
At a time 
when 
gods and 
fairies 
discussed 
their 
affairs......

Heavenly bodies everywhere
Angels standing next to me
Be careful who you stare at
Maybe one is so unawares
At your right side at your left
Remembering all is at stake

The rain's pitter patter
Asks me what is the matter?
What is it I see in your eyes?
Longing,loss or surprise.

Is it longing for what is not?
Or loss for what it was?
Or is it what it is that
Has you unawares caught?...

Icy branches
Crack in rhythm
Snap, pop, pop.
Laughing limbs swing
Unawares.
Hate strikes.
Bodies 
Lie crumpled.
Eagles soar
Then dive.
Stiffened wings are
Vultures carrion.
Bodies lie
Trampled,
Insides torn outside....

you already know
the changing things
sometimes you are not aware
important or not important
not clear color

you are already asking
you know the answer
what you expected
every dream doesn't happen
reality or beyond reality

you are already live
as you know or unawares...

walking the tightrope along the bridge,

highbeams shine from passing cars,

she shines brighter,

giving the Earth a dim glow,

one step follows another,

never knowing if the other end will be reached,

the city below slumbers,

unawares of the show that may go on....

Aware of Angels 

Aware of Angels 
Heavenly bodies everywhere;
Angels standing next to me;
Aware of Angels 
Be careful who you stare at;
Maybe one unawares at;
Aware of Angels 
Maybe there's an angel in front,
or beside you...
Angels aware

Stones have tripped me up in life,
usually, caught me unawares.
Few with corners, left their mark,
most were smooth from time and wear.

But, had it not been for those stones,
lessons would not have been learned.
I'm grateful for every single one,
as each scar in life, I've earned....

I'm with you, always near, 
Through dark shadows, valley of death and strange nightmares, 
Do not fear! 

Rest in My shade
When terrors catch you unawares, 
They'll fade! 

Away, 
hair-raising scares! 
Pray! 

I'm with you, always near, 
When terrors catch you unawares, 
Pray!

An intricate maze
                                         Life is a big question mark
                                                 Intriguing story
                                         Complex plot, full of drama
                                          Me performing unawares

Besides a cry and a deafening roar;
Comes over a swelling vibration that opens a veil of unseen nature that lies dormant at a threshold of long ago.
Face of mortal man that dares steps on the tail of the back belonging to a strength that can be forgotten as unawares seemingly find a heart stolen of another kind....

Tear 
ooze
in drops
carries scads 
gliding down contours 
at the edge it drips with a plop 
ease the mind of the woes, a sigh elude unawares

Memories are often made unawares
Without due notice in their prime,
As we quickly move from this to that,
We hardly recognize them at the time.
Focusing on the next thing, after all, 
Sometimes crowds out the present
In the present we are experiencing
What only tomorrow will fond recall.

Living Blissfully Unawares

she held the golden keys
family picnics on Sundays
green yard, two cars, and a small dog
happy, eternal bliss
soft silk sheets on her king size bed
(1.) (living scene), no rhyme

Elon’s SpaceX will be such a boon,
as we jet to the far reaches soon.
This coil won’t contain us;
get a tan on Uranus,
ski the slopes on Pluto by moon.

Now it’s not that I mean to be crass,
but I mustn’t let one detail pass.
Don’t be caught unawares
by the spike solar flares;
those waivers don’t cover your ass....

I'm constantly looking back
Checking behind me
To ensure I'm not followed
I refuse to be caught unawares
So I hide
Hide away in corners
Run from shadows
I feel like I'm not living
But it a feeling I'm accustomed to
One I'm fated to
I sleep with one eye open
And I have no friends
And Im so sure
That's why the future left me...

The Sage Said #1

How can I find happiness? 
I asked the wise old man.
He was sitting on a straw
mat under a large tree. He
responded in a low strange
voice,

'You cannot pursue happiness 
and catch it; it comes upon you 
unawares, while you are helping others."

I wanted to ask him another question 
but he began to chant....

Beware the dreaded Lurgwurt
that prowls around at night.
With luck you'll never meet it,
but then again you might.

Beware the dreaded Lurgwurt.
It may catch you unawares.
If not in the parlour,
then at the bottom of the stairs.

Avoid the dreaded Lurgwurt,
if you would save your life,
and while you are about it,
every cause of strife.....

Why do things happen the way they do?
you know what I mean, you trip and fall
there was nothing there that you could see
or something comes crashing down on you

What happens is sometimes a mystery
a twist sent by fate to catch us unawares
why is life full of strife and challenge?
maybe to make us stronger, more capable

Circular sessions of reasons                      					  
Wit remains around rhyme    					             
Really what redundant refrains            				              
wrestle with willing unawares                              			                
Wild woolly whistles while wiles wait                    			               
Where she whoa nobody knows huh...
