Circles

Circles

Round and round.

Amber the color
circles the rim;

twirling
memories

with a mellow sip and swirl.

Ferris wheels.

Way high to the sky.

Never coming down!

Down.

Down. . .

swaying feet
touching, not touching

unstable

dirty

tan and brown
gravelly ground.

But amber,

again she lifts me up;

takes me higher.

Higher.

Higher.

Red. Red.
Luscious red.

Yellow. Yellow.
Spinning yellow

lights.

Then hurtful ...
in purple.

I exit blue. . .

flat on my back

for a brief second
I swat at the pain;

squirm in the wetness

dripping;
slipping

cold

from my eyes; thighs.

How I lie

in the blackness

looking at
thick shoes.

Brogues.

Heels too?

Faces not amused.

I insist ...

"NOT this time. It's not booze! I'm hurt!"

The heels
pivot in spin;

click away.

In a furious wind
I heard her say:

"This time I choose."

Giggling, snickering,

I think:
"You lose!"

(Though

I suddenly

Lost--

my green money
boss.)

SLANDER

Slander

by

(Poem with copyright)

Opposers

Slander,

PURE and SIMPLE.

But

TRUTH

Endures;

Rises

Above,

Beyond!

In its

Ascent

Uncloaks

distorted

ugly

schemes--

themes

somewhat

concealed

in equally

contorted/

crippled

frames.

Their

saddened

Brains,

Always

Contriving.

Shamed,

Shameful,

they

proclaim fables

to

Disguise

their lack of

Beauty,

their

Unable-

ness.

Maybe.

LIES

Only

Blanket

their

HATRED,

which covers

the skin

of their

Envy,

Buried

Within--

A

Thin

Breathing

UNENTITLED

Shield

of

Arrogance,

This

Cultivated

Veneer,

Until

The

Bright

Light

of

Clear

Proof

Shines

Brilliantly.

Reveals

the

aged lines

of their

bitterness,

of

their anger,

of

their

DYING,

though,

Already

Dead

in their

Hearts.

Yes,

also

tragically,

Decaying

in

their

Heads.

Based on: 2 Cor. 4:4; John 12:31; 1 John 2:17; Ps. 39:1; Ps. 119:172.
