wet city street

 

 

We stroll these city streets

Savoring the summer’s wet relief

As it dances across our shoulders

And gently kisses upon our cheeks

What I really hate the most is when I think I see you,

My eyes glisten with the chance just to glance upon you

but then you disappear

or worse, come near

And its clear the face does disagree with the real you,

What really hurts the most is when I think I see you

I stopped to smell the flowers,

but found they lost their scent;

I couldn’t help but wonder,

where their aroma had been spent.

While leisurely sinking into the abyss

Will you even notice

That something is amiss?

An original poem, inspired by Boiling Frog allegory. Click here to learn more about the Boiling Frog.

I don’t know what made me think of this, it just kinda popped into my head on the way home today. Thought it was noteworthy.

 

Ok, so maybe I have a few words… November 25, 2008

What pleasure is it you feel in your pain?

To what comfort do you find in disdain?

While you linger in the latter,

The former is where I remain.

How the weekend celerates by

Now just a glint in my eye,

In the gloaming light I sigh,

Whilst I consternate

The impending work week nigh

Don’t ruin this for yourself by trying to figure out what these poems are about. It’s not that important, and my lips are sealed anyway. Just appreciate them for the beauty of word written in lyrical verse. Get lost in your own subjective interpretation, not mine.

And, for your listening accompaniment:

My mind and my thoughts

Like spots

Or dots

Petulant clots

Filled with what haves

And what nots

 

 

The waiting

The creating

The anticipating

Can be so invigorating

Yet thoroughly frustrating

 

A Haiku:

 

Awaiting spring’s rain;

Cascading leaves instead fall

Prepare for winter

 

 

Progression:

Interaction

Titillation

Cogitation

Deliberation

Imagination

Expectation

Dilapidation

Internalization

Falsification?

Torpidation 

Ambiguation 

Over-Analyzation

Vexation

 

All things bitter-sweet September 10, 2008

Nestled in the quiet moments before nightly repose, I offered a question. 

The reply was routine, founded in hesitation.

This morning I awoke with a sour taste upon mouth, and none closer to the answers in which I sought.

A visceral battle, that struggles not to be fought.

A stalemate, a foreseeable impasse, and strange waters in which I swim.

The response I seek, lies as mine, only to be found within.
