Conjuring inspiration
is as
easy as
for me
as looking
in front
and beside
for you
you alone
make my
mind explode
sending shards
into universe
all to
come back
to me
just as
you do
once coffee
is made

Child’sPlay
If only life
was as easy
as child’s play
I have me
have me not
plucking of petals
of starting somewhere
ending somewhere else
excited by prospect
acceptance at end
given to fate
and it is
and when like
children we dislike
the outcome of
our haphazard plucking
we simply pick
another flower and
some of us
lay waste to
an entire field
in a desperate
hope to find
that perfect one
Chase
Why would
anyone accept
when anyone
can have
why take
what’s offered
when what’s
desired is
truly magnificent
every life
only ever
is choices
grab if
you must
but chase
when you
can no
pot of
gold has
ever been
found by
those settling
Dreamers
It’s funny
this growth
I now
finally realize
that having
dreams and
making them
come true
are different
I dream
we dream
but making
requires a
march a
campaign usually
much longer
than planned
with retreats
and obstacles
sieges seizing
finally victorious
and taking
their spoils
carry on
my dreamers
make happen
Genie
Had I
only wished
you then
here you’d
never be
wishes come
and go
like late
night men
like clouds
they gather
and clash
causing thunder
and rain
their desire
once done
they sail
away repeating
this with
someone else
but you
I wanted
and conjured
my very
own genie
keep your
wishes for
it’s you
I want
not them
