Unforetold, Destined

which should I lend credence?
the song in my head
or the beating of the heart,
for the path to choose

in quest for answers,
the puzzle of life
is just a cryptic jumble,
with no pieces fitting together

I have lost my thread
I cannot find my way back
the grail I seek,
eludes me in this labyrinth

I know the words
they sing in the head,
with stubborn persistence
but the tongue is tied to silence

will the eye behold heaven,
the angel of surreal dreams?
will the hand touch silk,
the warmth of delayed company?

the die is not yet cast
the forecast cannot come forth
the cup is half full,
it leaks equally with every pouring

in the stillness of day,
an expectation shall brew
there will either be a storm,
or a rainbow bathed in a gentle hush

Must I Choose?

I am torn, conflicted between one who is beside me and one that should be, I cannot decide. She is my anchor, speaks the words that comfort my heart. The other teases me, a fun loving heart they both make a perfect woman. But I must decide. Must I choose? She bats her eyes and I die, the other winks and my knees give way. Must I choose? She makes my heart faint with longing, The other cherishes me beyond what I can imagine, they both fill my heart with joy. If I part with her, I will die. If the other leaves me, my soul will be robbed of light. Must I decide? They both are the perfect woman. ~ Pandit. And so continues the emotional binge. Image: Diver From Beneath by Petr Kratochvil

La Morena and her... Negroe

by Jerome Hambrick I could have used your company last night Could have talked or had a tongue and kitty fight And no, I'm not all right Until you come over and fix my plight Had a most stressing day And was looking towards some one on one word play Your presence is enough for me I drink you in and perspire glee I remove you from your pedestal And return you back... your love gently bruised No matter the path I find beneath my feet I sense you just over my shoulder hovering, lovingly I enclosed you in our love knowing your fear of small places That defenseless look... could almost taste it And I know it's sick but seeing you that way turns me on But understand my illness will do you no harm My nature rages to overwhelm and break right through But I would turn tide on myself before it turned on you Because you loved me and you knew I wasn't right And for that I'd kiss your feet or risk my life You see the world needs more people like you...
