Simple moments and kisses
are for stealing
spongy crabby grass, squeaky pool rafts
are for lying
one can cheat at the race of time
by living in the moment
Philosophic inquiry and idle curiosity
never hurt a fly
Logic and Geometry, trapped sticky strings of thought
The Machiavellian webs we weave
Creeps and Opportunist may pray upon the weak
Lay in wait with incorruptible malice
Sin without Pleasure
Pain with no Gain
Acts of immorality
Feats of mortality
sealing ones fate
in the Karmic Realm
of possibilities
where Paradise was lost
but Humanity found
Heavenly bodies
Angels in action
Ghostly haunts
Demonic desire
lines in the sand
glass between toes
shards of time
a trace of what matters
Singeing flesh
blinding light
gut instinct
a Sixth sense
Acrid salty mists
Infiltrating and asphyxiating
at the end of land and rope
twisted stronger by fate
at the tip of the iceberg
on the verge of reason
Choose to live
Resign in death
paralyzed in fear
suffocating in security
To dare, to taunt
To tempt and tease
Inventing not Alibis
nor concocting Lies;
Fracturing the Tenet
while embracing
in You-
Feeling still-
virtuously Alive.
