Cost of Tolerance

Cost of Tolerance

Tolerance serves you joy
and such tolerance
blooms the family ties,
however every tolerance
has its own expiry date.

Too much of anything
good for nothing,
noble-men might not
keep his nose in every go,
yet the nose is of indifference.

Noble-men's silence
be a boon or a bane,
the lessor of the (sin/tolerance) occupancy
the more you are in good books
the more the (sin/tolerance) occupancy
the loss of fame
yet, these skews
make the life.

No, to the tolerance no life
yes, to the tolerance 
off course the life
recounting had had joys.

through the storm?

 

 

 

until the day ends
as if we're ever friends
whatsoever.

 

did I ever ask your
number?

 

 

a way to speak
everything's so quick
now.

 

 

where are you gonna
take me?—

To Paddle One's Canoe Over Still Waters (A Poem About Fictitious Love Stories)











To Paddle One's Canoe Over Still Waters


 

 



Seeming storylines are child's play

Appearing to you like 'tis

something funny

 

Out of our little trembling political

situation

If only stars are the silent majority

 

They must twinkle—endlessly, without a noise

 

No matter how far we are,

theoretically

The light year spanned space-time

to have brought

me to you

 

—wondering, now, if vice versa is

 

also

true

 

In a sense of delight that had made

young lovers swoon

'Tis a mother's loving caress to a

newborn

 

A perfect love of Astrological

compatibility

And forever they will

choose to share lovingkindness

 

 

—to each other & for others.


As well.





Author's Notes/Comments: 

Reedited on 11.23.2019 (I have supplanted the {minor misspelling of "light year"} but this time, I think I have added a period as its resulting emendation, due to a possible lack of it which was previously left unnoticed).

 

 

This is a repost from my Twitter platform & which has been edited for a very minor misspelling of "light year".  I have corrected the two-word noun.  For anything else that I might have edited (e.g., I might have also missed), that could only be involving a tweaking of the form (e.g., which might have been changed/affected by my copying & pasting method of the verses; either that or other copyediting stuff like by changing fonts/font sizes).  Thank you for checking it out.

Shatter My Heart

down you go
spinning down
this contaminated pool
of ignorance
and soaring through
a cloud of naivity
or perhaps indifference.

 

your carelessness
is contagious.
soon enough
you will see
once i too stop trying.

 

deliberate or not
whether it is something that you thought
or haven't yet caught
your actions
or lack thereof
shatter my heart.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is something I wrote a while ago but never published. I had a group of "good" friends, who began to make me feel left out, not cared about, and forgotten. It's short and simple- if they don't care to make an effort to be my friend any longer, then I will do the same.

Indifference

It was a hot day, I think,
as I watched the spider eat the fly.
Someone else may have turned away,
or killed the spider and set the fly free.
But not me.
I watched as the spider ate the fly.
As I ate myself.
