I desire my life
Overflowing everywhere
Centered upon love

Evening
Upon evening’s curves
Attention drifts longingly
Over her dark eyes
Hiding No More?
Facing outwards now,
Introspection no longer,
Hide no more: Act!
Balance
Graft and corruption,
So many thumbs pressing down
Exploitation’s tools.
Progressing forwards
Today’s anger spent
I seek to make things better
Progressing forwards.
Winter
Cold wetness seeps in.Â
Clothing’s heaviness intense.Â
Seattle’s winter.
Being Human
Funny humans,
The only part of this
Universe that flails
And rages, expecting
Full control of this
Immensity.
Healing
Perhaps healing’s not
Returning to the old life
Rather, a new one
Haiku
Oh, smartassery,
Free of all cynicism.
A good goal, perhaps?
Meditation on Greatness
One cannot achieve greatnessÂ
Adhering to the status quo. Â
Mediocrity, numbing theÂ
Quiet desperation, driftingÂ
Through life barely createsÂ
Fertilizer for poppies.
