Which medicine
works best
to heal a hopeless
diddler?
I ask you as a doctor,
not a riddler..

The most effective
medicine..
is just for you
to lay on top of me
and yap yap yap..
don’t look at me
like that!
I didn’t make it up..

It …

By what mechanism
do pieces
fall into their place?
Is it not
by providence..
of God’s
unknowable ways?

So why hold fear
within thy heart,
oh my sweet child?
All is foreseen,
all is accounted for
in The Almighty’s
mind.

Why don’t you rather
hold your faith …

All that is
in our life
to hold..
is never ours
to keep.
What sense
is there to worry
and lose
precious sleep.

For, in our sleep alone
all men
are proven innocent,
indeed..
And a sleepless man
is wickedest
of gray and wolfish evils..
that conceals itself
amongst the …

The malaise
of being..
Nausea of life.

One day,
you hold it
by the reins..
another day,
you lay
beneath
its hooves..
and brace
yourself
for the inevitable..
lethal strike.

One day,
your knife
is razor-sharp
and cutting meaning
into pieces
like it’s butter..
Another day,
you’re sawing …

However you may
try to spin it..
Lady Fortune
always sides..
with the winner.

In her game,
there’s no
participation
trophy
for The Ones
who try
and lose.

Though
you may call
her cruel
on account of that..
the winner
is The One who
gets to
write the rules …

The essence
of our Geist
may not be
Unsterblichkeit..
for, we are not
immortal.
But it is, however,
Unzerstörbarkeit..
or indestructible.

Though
The All of it
may be
extinguished
in our Death..
The Ones who
lived upon a time
may never be
erased.
A seed of them
is always
still …

Eyes of fear
are rather
quite big.
Pointy fangs
are fear’s
only teeth.
Fear has naught
but a single wish..
To grasp you,
to bite you,
to feed.

Little scaredy cat
makes up
some fear..
then sighs
pitifully at it:
“Oh dear!”

But I ain’t afraid
of nothing …

Why is it,
do you reckon..
that my salsa
brings
the cutest
ladies
to the fruiting
tree?

Why else?
Because it is
so sweet
and spicy..
it’s so me.
Two steps
forward,
two steps
back..

A perfect balance
of both cortisol
and oxytocin
meant to
elevate their
heart rates …

I know I should be
sleeping now..
but still I lay
alone in bed
and fantasize.
About the joyful
sparkle I beheld
the other day..
within the black hole
of a pupil in your eye.

It is said that
after crossing
the event horizon
nothing may escape..
not even light …

Why was
The Ugly Duckling
shunned
out of his nest?
He was an eyesore
to the others..
for, he was unlike
all of the rest.

They laughed at him,
and couldn’t wait
to see him
leave their hearts
and minds.
And as for him?
The Ones
he rocked with …
