FAREWELL


Like a black hole at the heart of an atom
your paradise is a slippery slope to hell
I can tell because I more than once fell
but was rescued in the nick of the bell
what life has in store, I can never tell
I desire no more but wish you well.

THE SURVIVAL OF THE MISFIT


An old friend had a massive heart attack
they called me from the hospital, I rushed
he was a heavy smoker, they had to bypass
he looked pale and exhausted, worried I was

'Is there anything I can do for you''.…. I asked
'get me a cigarette' he pleaded, 'I am dying for one'
the following poem was inspired by such a remark.

The contrast between
high thinking and low living
measured in cigarette butts,
meanwhile time is running in
and running out…
In & out, in & out 
In ironic opposition
things are evolving
after all he's still breathing
and smoking and kicking
the king of the time being
will soon be choking!.
As we sit and stare
at time running out
one more cigarette
is what this is all about,
we do not have to
rave and shout
but on this issue
we have no doubt
that if he quits
he is in
or else
he is out!.

FATEFUL


Ardor is subtle when taken alertly
with purity,virtuously, full heartedly
alongside passion come vulnerability
should it crumble there will be no pity
romance in bloom, such is pure delight
must cherish beloved, hold on to it tight
faith is delicate can be obstructed by fate
so intense yet fragile, should treat it right.

QUANTUM



A point of view can be a serious liability 
while one is approaching the hereafter.
The coalescing of the inner and the outer 
changes the nature of perception further.
An objective view might have to consider 
all possibilities concurrently in the making
when a first hand experience is occurring.
