POLITICS OF THE USUAL

I don't want to think because of what I might learn
Rather stay in ignorance than find cause for concern.

Playing the fiddle while watching Rome burn
My party can do the same just give us our turn.

EMOTIONAL VACCINE

Potions of dog's hair
For recoveries rare

Of injuries there
To a heart that was bare.

Caught up in a snare
From know not where

No need to play fair
To fight the illusion of care.

A MATTER OF LIVES

Laughter slowly seeps from my soul
As tradgedy seems to be in a spiral

Happiness no longer seems a goal
While messages of violence go viral.

Our society sadly feels the toll
When civilization goes suicidal.

IT DOESN'T ALWAYS

Numb from emptiness,
How the heart can ache
From lack of feeling
Absent emotions don't

Translate into an absence
Of emotions. There needn't be
blood for bleeding from
The heart.

Loneliness doesn't require
One to be alone.

REFLECTIONS OF FUTURE'S PAST

Memories of an unfinished kiss
Questions of the future
history did miss.

Interrupted by fate
With hopes to be resumed
At a much later date.

Moving forward by going back
Hoping to find
What the present did lack,

WHEN MEMORIES MATTER

Bringing back visions of
Who I was through
The eyes of
Who I am.

Reconciling reason
Remains a Herculean task
Especially for one who
Has lived life behind a mask.

Romance becomes the illusion
Enabling the solution
Happiness to be achieved
When logic is deceived.

LOVE NOT TOUCHED

No need to make love

When it’s already there.

Together as one,

Our souls a pair.

Passion persists

In quantities to spare.

More than even our

Bodies are aware.

Being apart seems too

Difficult to sometimes bare.

Sill no one said

All lives must be lived fair.
