The Hunter and the Deer

They will try it in the forest.
The hunter will see but only have eyes for the gazelle.
Then they will try it in the Bush,
and the hunter would turn around and go back home because he still has some stew.
While the Hunter is home taking a nap,

Spider and the Ant

I told her to remember because it seems all she ever does now is forget and I didn't mean it the way she took it, maybe I did but not as badly as she took it. We started from days when love was expressed with random flowers picked up on the...

Three Thrones

"One day you will be one with the earth again,
The same earth you arrogantly stomped on.
And everything you built would lean over as if paying homage to you,
But they'll never stand upright again,
Because they would always want to lean close to...

YOU

This thing you read as me today,
May very well be you tomorrow,
Or the total opposite of you the day after.
There are three secrets all writers know of prophecy:
Do not write it down,
Most people easily make that first mistake.

Do not read...

I do not want to be a dreamer anymore

I saw you again in my dreams last night,
And you have begun to make this a bad habit.
Now I long to see you when I sleep,
But the midnight promises are things I hope you don't keep.

It seems more often now you are here,
Than when you...

An Old song

One day, we will retire our song.
It'll be too old and too restless.
One day, we will stop going to our favorite places.
You will accuse me of being too bold and reckless,
But that shouldn't matter.

I Bare Myself to You

I bare myself to you,
A willing subject,
I'll remain still as you paint me,
A smile for your determined brushstrokes,
A frown when you appear pensive,
A smirk when I catch that mischievous glint,
Signaling your intention for something playful,...

Science and Religion

I've endeavored to unravel your essence through science's embrace,
Yet I find myself entangled in the realm of faith and grace.
For it takes unwavering conviction to grasp your true domain,
A cosmic enigma, transcending logic's mundane.

You...

The Four Forms of Heartbreak

Before I became an unbreakable force, immune to pain,
Every woman who held my heart unleashed a hurricane,
The first one struck with a forceful gust, swift and intense,
A night of whispered confessions, leaving me defenseless,
As we bid our...

Threads of Love Woven Thin

There is no love in the city,
There is no love in the towns.

All a man gets is pity,
But not before he...

The River

I lived by a river,
It flows erratic,
Until you came by for a wade.

I'm made of metal,
You are magnetic,
You questioned every choice I have...
