Timothy Branch Poems

Crazy about you or ain't thinking about you?
At least one is thinking about you.
Who satisfies you?
One recalls a long summer ride, talks, and kisses.
...

They gather like puddles, hoping to make a splash.
Attention seekers chattering to disturb those who dash on intently on their course.
They travel in packs together making sure they move together like fish in schools.
Now in the lifecycle there is a complainer who is the chief consumer of complainers.
Hurry whale open wipe to relieve us of this vicious circle of life that embellishes trash, mess and trife.

The horizontal line indicates a negative number.
It negates the value of a good value.
The horizontal line indicates the mathematical operation of subtraction.
This tells you that a portion of a number shall be lost upon the execution of this operation.

If acting didn't get attention, who would act?

At times intrinsically words flow.
The words flow to and fro to a predetermined destination they seemingly go.
When they flow intriguingly they go places that are unseen by me.
They take up to mountaintops high above ant high places.

I recall one.
Immaturity and arrogance told me that I was better than that one.
Then another came but this time no one knew my name.
I went and found out no one here cared to know my name.

Don't play with words. Words are nothing to play with. Words don't play but cut to the chase, lay waste and disgrace ones loosed from an uncontrolled open space. Wise ones make wise. Ignorant ones cause others to despise such injurous words. Use your words wisely. Let none be used to tear down or dissuade a confident one. Use your words to enlighten one about the Way, the Truth and the Life or to help somebody choose life.
