Paradox of Promise

If we regard only that which holds promise
Are we an ignorant fool, with a narrow line of vision
Or an auspicious optimist, with a rising sheen of sight

Snake Attack

The self absorbed desiccate all that surround them
Simply by sucking
Their vaporous venom is something only they can withstand

The Perfect Piercing

When efforts are anything less than unreasonable expectations
Perfectionism pierces the persona
Leaving an irritant of feckless frustration
That either sends the victim into a tempestuous blaze
Or cripples them into submissive stillness

Nothing But the Truth

Sometimes when we try too hard, insincerity steals the show

Necessary Opposition

There are times when black is the preferred color to white

Rain eclipses the sun

Tears relinquish smiles
And nothing is the desired something



For every dark day we endure
Our bright days magnify resilience

Think Up

My creativity has left me
with nothing but a big butt and a fat head. 
Time to slim down and think up

Poker Face

When you repeatedly, don't like the hand you've been dealt
Maybe it's time to play a different game
