Spinning
Winning rhetoric
when the masses are losing
make your money on the side
as worlds collide
you have no answers
A gamer a chancer
playing backgammon
a dragon
of a bygone age
waging war
against the poor
and disabled
corporations own your soul
sponsored by …
do you believe your own lies
Media tycoon
your ego more inflated than a hot air
balloon
a lying silver spooned goon.
The warmth of a fire
in a welcoming home.
The way the words settled I was not alone,
time spent with friends
the tying of loose ends
and memories made in all seasons
reasons why we made this place is home
the love and friendship I was shown
whether playing board games with others
or just laying and chilling out under bed covers
we made this our home
and we feel safe and respected
with freedom to roam.
Orpheus
A beautiful poet singing beautiful poetry
oh no…
lost your wife
went to hades with your life
made king hades and Persephone shed a tear
and let you in
Resolved to rescue your beautiful dead wife
but you would fail
When you turned back she fled back into hade’s shades
destroyed by love
destroyed by love and loss
pray to the sky that you will meet her again
but love is just beautiful blood stain
and what we are is merely blood, fire and dust and a soul.
