Found Myself, Found You.
Together Love Flourishes;
Remarkable Joy.
Poetry
It’s Mardi Gras
Beads, Booze, Revelry.
Inhibitions set free, only for one day.
Hurricanes flowing from Pat O’Brien’s
Jazz floats onto the street from Preservation Hall.
Party now, repent later,
or not.
No one to judge you.
Bourbon Street is your stage;
Blend into the crowd or
Stand above the rest.
Catch a float or catch the trolley.
Follow your senses, leave your mind behind.
Because tomorrow, tomorrow you must return
to a place of rules, regulations.
Don’t miss the chance to paint your master piece in the vivd colors of
Green, Gold and Purple.
A Forgotten Era
It was once at the height of its power.
Soon forgotten.
A trailblazer, a chance at a new land.
Replaced by youth and innovation.
Nothing remains but
A warped picture long forgotten in a boiler room.
I will remember the past, it created me.
Simplicity 10
~~~~~~~~~~
Risk it, lose your mind.
Euphoria brings about
Hidden Successes.
~~~~~~~~~~
Toast
Drink to the
Most.
Dedicated to you.
Our love like Bubbles,
Unable to be caught,
Sparkling, not fragile.
Intoxicating.
All of our senses engage;
Celebration, Beautiful, Playful.
We have tonight,
Tomorrow,
Forever.
Explore
Take a deep breathe,
Do not overthink,
Doubt will creep upon you.
Act swiftly.
The greatest risk can lead to,
Superior reward.
New territory can be,
Your territory.
Today, not tomorrow,
Regret is for the weak,
Even if you fail;
You will have a Grand Story
To Tell.
Simplicity 9
~~~~~~~~~
Trembling I see,
Vast opportunity if,
Fear is set aside.
~~~~~~~~~
Inspired by my newest novel endeavor.
Defeated
~~~~~
Beholden to the moment.
Anger, Frustration, Resentment;
Rushes through my veins.
I could stay and Fight.
I should stay and Fight.
Within me the strength cannot be retrieved.
A manifestation of futility,
Overtakes my mind,
My Body,
My Soul.
I surrender Formally.
Tomorrow solace will be sought,
Tomorrow.
~~~~~
Simplicity 8
~~~~~~~~
Cauldron of mists,
Grasping for his deft touches,
Gone again, left cold.
