The world I live in
A strange place
Of every possibility

The Creativity of Destruction
There is creation
In every act of change
Even the most destructive
In every act of change
Even the most destructive
I seek the frame
In which destruction’s beauty
Can be seen
Cinematically Ugly
She asked:
Why can’t something just be ugly?
Why can’t something just be ugly?
But it can, I replied.
She looked at me. Puzzled.
It just needs to be cinematically ugly.
Which is to say
It must still be beautiful.
Still puzzled.
So I expanded.
The Brightest Light
It is not always the brightest light
Which illuminates the finest detail
I remind myself to investigate
What even the dimmest light reveals

Curves ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #62
Harder to hit
More fun to drive
A pleasure to touch
A challenge to follow
Tangle of wire
Plateful of noodles
More fun to drive
A pleasure to touch
A challenge to follow
Tangle of wire
Plateful of noodles
Arc vs line
Hard vs Supple
Crooked as a fish hook
Straight as an arrow
The well-trodden path
The less-travelled fork
This old bridge
This old and rickety bridge
Which it seems I’ve been on forever
Must some day end
And leave me on the other side
Which it seems I’ve been on forever
Must some day end
And leave me on the other side
Mistress and Lover
Darkness
Seductive mistress
She beckons me
With enigma
Riddles
Possibilities unimaginable
Promises of revelation
Both disturbing
And thrilling
Seductive mistress
She beckons me
With enigma
Riddles
Possibilities unimaginable
Promises of revelation
Both disturbing
And thrilling
But light
Sweet lover
Always generous
She seeks me
In the dark places
Offers illumination
Insight
Beauty boundless
Marking the pathway
To epiphany
Honey on Burnt Toast
Sometimes
Reciting aphorisms and positivity
In bad times
Is like spreading honey
On burnt toast
It’s sweeter
But the toast is still burnt
And it tastes like shite
Reciting aphorisms and positivity
In bad times
Is like spreading honey
On burnt toast
It’s sweeter
But the toast is still burnt
And it tastes like shite
