Intrigue and interest
are two words
associated with attraction
but what do
they actually mean
imagine a dog
on a walk
the snap of
a branch surely
catches his attention
ears perk up
whereas a rustling
and a scent
something to follow
draws him closer
intrigue is the
invitation the curiosity
and the arousal
interest is the
snare the trap
that’s now sprung
with you your
eyes and smile
are my intrigue
and your arms
and lips are
my ultimate interest

ModernHermit
And now sitting
here I realize
why I haven’t
met anyone here
yet in Denver
I am to
reflect upon myself
absent from distraction
much like the
hermit tucked inside
of a cave
atop the mountain
I have the
mountain part handled
being a mile
above sea level
but the cave
not so much
for here I
enjoy the creature
comforts of modernity
WordWalk
I must go
the words await
like a dog
standing near door
leash in mouth
waiting to walk
they won’t stop
until we go
on our little
walk into imagination
where at last
they will explore
and discover things
that I cannot
even though I’m
looking at the
same exact thing
Truth
When facing truth
whatever it is
it is usually
at first silent
a gnawing sigh
which hardly erupts
but often escapes
like the fizz
from a fresh
bottle of pop
a slow sss
announcing to you
that you have
at last lanced
that painful boil
and now are
ready to heal
telling of others
is less important
now than ever
BatterBall
What I think
matters much less
than what others
do it’s not
the batter who
scores the home
run but it’s
the ball the
batter simply swings
the batter could
swing and swing
for an eternity
but without the
ball there’s nothing
all our perceptions
are nothing but
bats yet the
ball belongs to
the collective consciousness
