Limerick:Eccentric

 

Off center seems to mean, odd

But an occasional clap is awed.

Being different can have its perks

Onlookers gawk only to find smartness lurks.

Magnificent, if eccentric, is your lightning rod.

Blind Trust

If you assume trust is in place

wise of you to think and embrace,

a thorough review of honesty.

It’s a must do to avoid insincerity,

 averting the miscalculation of about-face.

In The Midst

 

Often times so hard to see

Daylight struggling with no light.

Death issuing sentences on a daily basis.

Adversity at home, work, relationships,

Exists in the quagmire of strife…

Outwardly challenging resolutions.

Centered within the chaos is perception,

This... is not an end all.

Circling around life’s sphere

Is pure essence of existing essentials.

Many daily battles health, human loss, self-doubt exposed,

As fate might have its way.

Redefining family, close relationships and self

Healthy thoughts drive the recovery from the brink.

Throughout the noise raining on our mural

The emergence of what matters most breaks away,

From the centrifugal spin to the new authority.

It's In Your Head

 

Ever take a break from the

Tempest residing in your mind…

We rest our bodies for a break,

But also, the mainframe of our intellect

Needs a regular time-out for evaluations.

Events and episodes can ramble on continuously

Always resulting in the same conclusion.

What may stress us the most might have

Taken up valuable space as an aberration.

Accepting certain thoughts, problematic issues

As self-imposed can be adverse.

Seek advice re-evaluate sticking points

Grasp the realization that it just might very well be, in your head.

Epigram: Mend

 

A broken heart mends,

not nearly in time

to dodge lovesick blues.

The Recurring Dream

 After a while, need something to intervene

Even though the scene is not called upon,

The Nighttime Circus puts on its show.

Freewheeling, never concluding.

Funny how the production never fails,

To repeat and resurface without a queue.

Falling from the sky, free falling is…

As exuberant as the initial showing.

Pressing on the brakes of a quick moving car,

Only to press down to the floor.

How to stop? The cinema moves to a different time and place,

Or awakeness interrupts.

Carry on my repeating photoplay maybe

Just maybe, the final tale will reveal

Who's pushing the buttons behind the enormous playhouse shroud.

With All Good Intentions

 

Achieves a lot of attention.

May it be worthy or meddling,

decidedly with forthright good nature.

Lending a hand in times of crises.

Delivering goods to eat, offering monetary

assistance giving, caring advice.

Whether soft or hard message

candor, is never derailed.

Feeling stung by a bee? maybe…

Hail sincerity, never ambiguity.
