“Seasoned Time”
Riches spring glory,
that ambitions to sum her beauty;
But kingdoms fall easily,
and winter chills corpses irrevocably.

“Vibrations (& Feux d’Artifices)”
Taxi flashes, lights exploding around;
intoxicated, the engine powers up.
Past the windshield, glittering promises hound;
insatiable, artifices all lined up.
Deep down, tomorrow resonates!

“Balancing Sanity”
Brash,
enlightenment deigns visit the edge of my consciousness;
Lurking so close; raw clarity eroding ignorance darkness.
Inert,
fascination hangs, undecided, in equilibrium;
Veiling so tight; yet obviously eager to seize the momentum.
Smug,
opportunity blinks, something vital just passed me by;
Mediocrity so safe; surely, I’ll dare woo my next chance to fly.

“Demons”
The odious demon was trapped in stone,
to prove that we master the unknown.
Great power that is,
to do as we please,
unaware our humanity is gone.

“Fairies”
Impish little fairies like crisps and yellow boots,
but who could blame them.
Lounging in our realm,
while our almighty vigilance slowly reboots.

“Emerging From Normality”
The vast normality engulfs constricted attempts
at emerging and drifting away from destined plans!
A rational wave, to sand our resolve and preempts
yet irrational temper clouds narrow common sense.
And thus miracles surfaced amid uncertainty,
true light guiding over vast seas of normality.

“The Venice Musette”
Finesse
Rising above
Noblesse.
Torpor
Quieting down
Ardor.
Our prime
Slowly sinking
Through time.

“Boredom Lomging For Tea”
Oh endless yearning, crushed over for so long…
(squeaked sandalwood softly)
Lament all you want, that’s where you belong!
(rapped enamel slyly)
Big mouth but no chest, ushering words that strong.
(confronted wicker quite harshly)
Stay away from this, venting ain’t that wrong.
(soothed tea leaves casually)
I can’t agree more; I’m burning hot.
(shushed the fiery gaz)
Damn flame must be right, time to dance along.
(fiffed copper nervously)
Instant frozen still.
“That’d make a song”!
(observed bored apathy)

“Blogging Sestina”
Blogging is a fascinating adventure,
empowering, naïve, chaste though never pure.
Fingers dancing on keyboard to pay their dues
while eagerly chasing ideal revenues,
nurturing the last one true innocent hope:
living free without any restricting rope.
It starts with engine searching for the right trope,
the right domain and host; drafting adventure.
Eventually, Gator discounts offer hope
of a safe and fast platform that remain pure,
away from dark web’s looming revenues,
and trial offer with seventh month high dues.
I install WordPress, with updates overdues.
Widgets, shortcodes and plugins in the theme rope,
financed through Paypal donation revenues,
comfort me to pursue the blog adventure.
Webcomics and ShopIsle: forums shout impure!
But full template integration welcomes hope…
First post and no traffic, hard facts stealing hope.
Registration to directories past dues,
I worry that my mailbox cannot stay pure.
Gone is my freedom, tied down by IP rope.
Stuck, I trail the social media adventure,
analytics tracing path to revenues.
Time passes, sixth month now and few re-venues.
Webmasters tool slowly draining bits of hope,
to live away from spamming and ad venture.
I trade financial balance with moral dues,
writing and posting on a very thin rope,
my content struggling to stay true and pure.
Fingers now slaving for meager revenues,
No bread, bills piling up, and long overdues,
Dreams of freedom still bright and vivid, I hope,
It’s keeping me away from dark ending rope.

“Two feet”
Two feet,
Tiny, restless,
Walking, climbing, running,
Lured further by the next corner.
Leaders,
The vast world is your element,
Pushing, swimming, jumping
Tiny, restless,
Two feet.
