Goodbye

Goodbye
Look behind you -
Ugly currents flow.
Cut the line -
no false hope tow.
Cookie monsters green cousin
is to the rear.
Keep eyes focused ahead
you have nothing to fear.
Commit no crime -
grave robbing is sin.
Let them die -
no longer cry.
Mourning no more.
Thick door slamming shut in my
heart. Sad -
only to another opportunities
truth.

Shadows

Shadows loom and hide.
Not me, I'd rather be free.
Contemplate it openly.
Sunshine shares to all.
I constrict and focus strength.
Ponder, non-hesitantly.
God can see, but we are blind.
He sees time, we must feel it
and search it slowly.
Appearing all at once to Him.
Open your eyes girl!
Escape the shadows -
which hold you in there.

Seagulls

Seagulls with messages -
sent across the sea, to tell.
Scrolling timeless images -
Listening inside the seashell.
Leaves upon my porch -
I wish not to gather
nor collect.
In fear that one day
may forget.
One blade of grass left green
in a field of grey.
In spring it despises the change
of joy and feels indifferent.

Trolls

Scorning Millions - laughing
at untold secrets.
Flaps are open, preparing
to fire bullets.

One truth never to be
revealed.
Hearts hidden, deeply
concealed.

Chosen brothers, sent from God
to help in times of disdain

Scrap sisters baking mud
pies meant to be thrown.

Overcoming the blue with hue
of salt
Dried up tears, unwashed -
no halt.

Mended holes,
plastic trolls

World not ready -
for thin and weighty.

Courtesy

How I hate courtesy -
sister of politeness.
One day the fallacy
show - Pretty grey forest.

Many hearts led astray -
By this rude injustice.
Sleepless nights - will portray -
Enemy's accomplice

Feigned love is worse than poison
The body in pain
One moment released - waken
To meet "Cordial" thus named.

As if feelings were fragile -
Like an opened red tulip
Run from anger - too docile

For the action of friendship

Eyes

The eyes' prime use forgot.
"Look to God, and live!"


If so, our eyes would be burned - hot.
Directing our souls, attention -


Lives on a thread
reaching out with piercing affection.


Crossing hearts, and hoping to die
Needles sticking in majority eyes
Sincerity in sight is a lost trait


Avoiding eyes are murderers
Searching eyes are
welcome in my home anytime, mate!

Rage Cost

Economics Principle
The Opportunity cost of my
Rage -

The tears I could be shedding and
the self pity I could be feeling.

Plus the loss of mental and physical energy.
Rage is the wiser choice of
distributing my resources.

Not only does it supply its own energy,
But saves energy that the alternative consumes.
