    of

    humour

    an

    admission

    of…

    Good Advice

    Remember,

    a little calculation

    goes a long way


    A little rough calculation

    evens out a pace


    A little distance

    smoothes a wist

    Prohibition Day


    And, a long story

    pays out in claims

    Her eyes
    penetrate
    the depths
    of my soul

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    As ambiguous a smile as the Mona Lisa
    The Moments of Dominion
    That happen on the Soul
    And leave it with a Discontent
    Too exquisite — to tell —

    "do not forget me"
    she whispered...
    long forgotten.
    "O reason, reason, abstract phantom of the waking state, I had already expelled you from my dreams, now I have reached a point where those dreams are about to become fused with apparent realities: now there is only room here for myself. "

    arguments resolved
