Joyful Misery

Smile if the world is ending
Gravity. Gone. Hung. Suspended
Happiness is just a concept
Dream of a pretty prospect

Shallows of the mind
Changing through time
Hopeful Beautiful
Dismal Dark
Bleak grays of doubt
Filled to stark

Still there, hurting
Dark world, turning
Gold veil, gold words of wisdom
The brighter side
or
Covering Destroying

Predator

Strong powerful intelligent
Sneaks through the forest
Searching for prey and
Success is a necessity for survival

Carmen

Coyotes should rule
Arm wrestle me please
Rough games are fun
Mighty and tough
Exercising is smart, trying on stupid clothes is not
Nature is full of surprises
Strength is essential
Eating keeps you alive
Art involves knives
Race through your life, and you’ll forget something
Leave behind your dog and you die
Eat pickled eggs
Soccer is awesome

My Birthday!

I’m fourteen now.
The tiramisu is delicious,
My presents are fun
But all I need is
Peace and life

Freezing cold, moments of truth
of loving envy,
me and you, never together,
always saying lovers, eating glances.

The Sun in Bloom

The sun a golden poppy of glowing warmth
Reaches up for the sky and with a flourish,
It blooms

Dancing loving singing
Energy flowing through space and time
