Starry Night

Swooshing, sweeping
‘Round white orbs,
The darkness engulfs the light.

A sleepy town
Tucked safe below
The majesty of God’s night.

The colorful symphony
Swirls through the sky,
Leaving thick paint layered.

Madness, greatness
Intermingled
Where looming clouds never clear.

Slipping silently
Fusion of form
Blackness blinding
Coldness warm
Wrap it around me
Bury me deep
Patched persuasion
Saltiness sweet

I.H.T.P.

Little squares of paper,
Colorful and benign,
Carry words that make me
Want to just stop trying.
Never a good message
Inscribed for me to read:
Don't, Stop, No, Please Give Me,
I see them in my sleep.
Towers of small papers
Drown and cut and bury;
Bossing me around now,
Twirling in their fury.

Invest in your future,

I have prizes for you!

I'm at the top level,

I'm driving the car.

Just work it a little,

And you will go far.

The Lord has blessed me,

Has shown me the way.

With a little persistance,

You'll soon get paid.

Never mind all the hours

You must invest.

Did you see my sweet shoes?

And new fancy dress?

Lipstick and mirrors

Empower a woman.

Forget what you spent

To put your life in ruin.
