Let it lie, leave it be,
Lest idle it, vex it be.

you’re not well enough to travel.

Lost, baby,
I don't do sadness well enough.
I'm a whore for oblivion,
for being lost
and losing it all.
Lost, little girl,
we all lost....

Bewildered.
I've been drowning in your fountain,

I would like to give you
all my love as a Christmas present
but I think  
I couldn't wrap it well enough
as I have never learnt 
how to wrap a quality parcel...

that you have the ability 
to play well enough with the life 
like you play chess;
However, before you have taken a hit,
think a little bit,
during that time,
you might realize 
that you will never be able 
to checkmate it...

I hope 
you remember yourself 
well-enough tonight.
Because we all know 
how fireworks are proud, 
and loud and glittery
while sadness is illuminating 
at its own sky, 
somewhere in the 
year-long night 
living inside you....

I saw him again today
Peering out through the glass
At me as I dared to pass
The house so grave and cold and grey.

I let well enough alone, 
Keeping my eyes ahead,
Ignoring that pale white head
As I raced past the house of stone....

It is well enough that people of the nation, 
do not understand our banking,
and monetary system, 
for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution, 
before tomorrow morning. 

- Henry Ford, a corporate poet,
who didn't even know it....

Time
This single sparrow from your hands
Not enough
To know well enough
Your toes
Alone
Consume a thousand years.
Your eyes
would be the longest looking
Becouse looking I
would find your mouth
And
Journeys there have no end
Only beginnings...

It’s a bit cold for a spring day
The way the leaves bud on the trees
Has me transfixed in a sea of green
Pollen falls and I sneeze
It’s almost summertime now
But I sure feel the breeze
Well enough to chill a sunder
Better not sad spring to blunder...

So here we now stand evolved and full of life
Turn around and see the wonders of the world
It’s been a long journey, one that at times
You called into question your reason for being
But here you are…
Alive and well enough to close your eyes and inhale....

Never let go 
Though the path is crooked, 
It is narrowed,
But mind not the thorns oh 
Brave and Noble seeker. 
Though you're a stranger, 
But you shall explore 
Well enough to restore 
Hope to the dying ones. 
Once with a courageous veil 
You'll end the wail....

Hit' that would derail things I'm sure of it.' To much
Resources already have been drained.' Leave well enough
Alone..I would think if any really care in the main.?...

  Leave me

You complain
I am too slow
I am too fast
Too dumb
Too many shoes

You liked my legs well enough
Before you tasted the fruit
You had sweet words
Now you speak with sour grapes
If I was male, I’d nail you to a stake

Choosing you
My life’s mistake...

There has been a breach 
Through which slowly bleeds
A bargain rate omniscience 

Now I Am as God (or whatever)
Who knows well enough of you to judge
And speak a self-defining truth 

As twilight spreads across the Earth 
I command you to heed my Word 
And index it for #latersearch

I Think I know My Neighbours Well Enough 

Because I know they will not leave me
I also think I know them better than you 
And it’s not just for me 

So, I will be there even before they need
When enough is enough, you then must stop being so shallow or so tough

Like some we know who are also here
Who just don’t even show a care

DAMO x...

Night enfolds me. Darkness is all around
Too late to turn back; it's a shelter I seek
A bed of leaves gathered upon the ground
Shall serve well enough on a night so bleak

Pinch the wick of lantern's flame until it dies
My thoughts will be of you as I close my eyes

My husband ventured out today,
His virus on the wane.
He only took the briefest walk
But didn’t much complain.

For he was thrilled (and so was I)
To see him well enough
To leave his snug cocoon and have
The strength to strut his stuff.

He won’t be running marathons
And this I underscore
Because, in truth, he wasn’t running
Marathons before....

Belief is a war half finished,
Draped in all that is dry
Yet carrying the waterfall of our 
tears,
Nailing their resolve to the sky.

We've hummed well enough to 
sing corpses alive
Guiding our forces lost in the 
fortress inside
Please,
Relearn to not fear laying your 
soul on the grass
And live in knowing that with all 
that has been said, nothing has....

Soften up to me, my darling, you know well enough
That if all the friends would block each other
There will be no friendship, not to mention love
And no life at all, because the people bother
It will be a different spirit over waters 
Saying different words no one will hear
And no one will come to touch your shoulders 
With “how good my love, to feel you near.”

Everyone stop needing,
can’t you see how I try?
Feels like nothing but stress; 
A mask with a wide smile 
slow dancing with darkness;

Everyone stop needing!  
Popping off those demands,
such an abrasive touch!
It’s driving me insane,
always asking so much; 

Everyone stop needing! 
Wild goose is what you chase 
running down a cyclone; 
You’re not there when I ask,
leave well enough alone....
