the locale on the horizon
did snare his eye
so he ventured there
to give it a try

the crowd applauded
his every action
on them he made
a profound impaction

his conquest of the terrain
was monumental in scale
his venture to other region
netted him a huge bale

through the territory
he blazed a trail of magnificence
these days he's the toast
of all those who pursue his golden opulence
the idea for this poem came from the Shakespearean line ... "he came, he saw and he conquered".

you should never be bored
there's always something to do
yet at times it all feels like a chore
that fails to entertain you.
I may be procrastinating but you can't say I'm unproductive.
There's more to LIFE
            
       Than just breathing

There's also *LIVING
I can smell him on my sheets
      I can taste him in my dreams
             I can still feel every inch where he's touched me
I hear his laughter echoing in the walls
             I can still see him in all these pictures I saved for
           memories

But this bed is bare
My dream's a nightmare
       I can't hear
             His laughter
       He's not near
             Enough to touch
My eyes are blinded by tears
He's killed my senses,  
      I'm no longer aware

Everything around me,  slowly fading away
His face, his scent, his laughter,  his touch
Maybe I'll just pop a few pills and sleep away the day
At least he's in my nightmares, the pain of reality is too much
He's gone...  He's in her arms now... I'm dying and crying and it's all just too much..
We made a masterpiece that day
& the lighting was just perfect.
My warm droplets glistened
off your precious porcelain skin
& the shade of pink reflected
off your excitement,
made my heart race faster.
I could see your open-flower
beneath your white lace,
and I could tell
by the satiated look
on your cute face,
you loved being splashed
by my art.
The ground beneath me
The sun above me
The prayer inside me

You are the everything
that I need.
