Bright City Lights

city lights shinning so bright they light up the night, exposing activities you see in all cities. The harsh glow illuminates endless alleys and trash cans waiting for the morning light when they’ll be emptied of their rotten secrets and given new life.

skyscrapers stretch into the night sky like beacons burning brightly from a thousand rooms. Lights glowing like luminous ribbons on countless streets seeking to chase away stubborn shadows that escape the view of endless car’s headlights.

days turns into neon nights that defy the dark skies. People walking under an artificial glow in disguise. Petty thieves and gangsters clinging to the shadows like wraiths, waiting to catch unwary souls who venture beyond the incandescent safety of the radiant light.

tourists walking by glaring marquees that tease numerous delights in the always busy nights. So many things to see in the lucent city.

A Breezy Look at Fans

a propeller in a cage

on hot days it’s the rage

cool air on a sweaty face

it’s wind flow to embrace

relief welcomed anyplace

a boon to the human race

their use is commonplace

freshening an enclosed space

in many a working place

the breezy fan runs a race

in households and every place

First Kiss

heart beating like a drum

afraid of acting dumb

at my first dance

a chance

of romance

with lips dry

from being shy

she caught my eye

with a coy smile

a promise to comply

when my lips apply

young bliss

I’ll always miss

that first kiss

April Offerings

Aprilis – aka April – arrives every year

with rainy benedictions

for the atmosphere

it’s showers

bring flowers

and empowers

nature to revive

to survive

and thrive

awakening the land

to expand

nature’s grandstand

Epiphanies Don’t Always Please

sudden revelations and insights can be stifled by stupidity and jealousy

there’s always doubters that don’t see what others see

new ideas are often met with controversy

the sceptics scorn unaplogetically

visions kicked aside like debris

in human history

only

there will always be

a person with a sense of destiny

who will have an epiphany

that will set us free

Desert of Deceit

Burnt sands cover the liescape stretching between truth and deceit buried deep in a person’s mind. A desert of deceit. Unhindered by any convention, yet still possessing a conscience that sometimes asks questions about morality and sensuality.

Falsehoods, like scorpions and snakes, strike swiftly in the seething sands of a liar’s mind whose mission is to deceive. The liar’s soul, burnt by dwelling in the bronzed wasteland of duplicity, is shriveled and crispy.

There are those who dwell in this sandy hell by choice. Content to wander dunes of deceit. Content to live a lie. Content to vilify. Souls that were born bone dry. For these nomads in society, I have no pity.

Marijuana Strong

it’s been used for at least 5,000 years

around the time people first drank beers

used in China and Egypt to heal

ingesting pot was no big deal

cultures worldwide harvest weed

with hemp and flower they succeed

what was once illegal in the USA

a green market now here to stay

people use weed to fight depression

and PTSD regression

then there’s one of the best reasons why

people really like to get pleasantly high!

Deep Sea Melody

deep deep deep in the vast sea

a melody

bubbles up pleasantly

emanating a complexity

of sounds and serenity

soothing southing southing

merrily merrily

the sound goes on endlessly

from the deep deep deep

restless sea

In Praise of Puppets

stings attached

dolls with big eyes

in disguise

one expression forever frozen

in a grimace or a wide smile

meant to beguile

watch the puppets dance

take a chance

enjoy the performance

and suspend reality

to watch their story

Tourist Attraction

colored chunks of glass on the shore

smooth from the waves undulations

pulled up from the ocean floor

gleaming like jewels in the sun

in what appears to be a pristine beach

but isn’t, it’s littered with trash

a picturesque setting with broken glass

marred by the reality of the incongruity

of the dumped glass’s original source

trash heap to attraction for tourists

who have no remorse
