A
Bit of
Cooling off
Depends on the
Everlasting Sun
Fighting against its time
Gravity permitting more
Hydrogen to burn up within
Inviting life to disseminate
Jackals and false sheep in human clothing
Killing and too often eating each other
Lingering as much as possible before death
Meandering relentlessly like a jellyfish
Needing love from the beginning like a keto dish
Over avocado and a real woman's breath
Pretending to be in love till the Sun sends
Quatrains and sonnets enveloped in sweat
Reminding her that words do matter
Save those that protest for murder
To all the loves that I lost
Under the guise of less
Vivacity till
World War Three starts
X years hence
Yours still
Zeus

Lifting the Curtain to a Successful Month
April has been a fantastic month for me in terms of writing endeavors. I’d like to share what’s been so great about it just as many other writers would do. Share successes. I’ve noticed other writers or artists have shared successes and when you just see the snippet of their success, it appears everything has been going right for them all along. But we haven’t seen behind the curtain, we haven’t seen their hard work and their failures and those months that were fraught with disappointment. In everyone’s case, it’s far from the truth. But for the outside observer it isn’t always apparent.
