(image not owned by poet *)
(originally written 2014)
Love without affection
An image without detailed perfection
Action without cause
A cry without Remorse
A viewpoint without perspective
Of defined origin with no derivative
A wheel without drive
To live and not be alive
To promise and to deprive
Tears without a cry
A wave without goodbye
Accepting to be denied
Darkness with light
Reasoning without a point
An agreement without approval
A suggestion without opinions
Delight in dismay
A path with no way
Hours and not a day
Patience delay
Darkness of a ray
Shape without form
The ordinary and not the norm
Something without nothing
Nothing without a thing
Ultimately having everything
Still wanting something
Something, anything
Yet anything specific
Somewhere distance yet intrinsic
To want without a need
Plant without a seed
Therefore what's been sown can't be reaped
Follow in the lead
Distant thoughts of greed
To be nurtured and not grow
To search high and low
For something you don't know
Friends family and foes
Love lust and loathe
That's just how it goes
To find that what you defined as pain
Never really hurt at all
Knowledge without wisdom
Royal highness without a kingdom
Roll a dice with no six
Stack a pack of cards with no ace
Joker_stare right in illusion's face
Sometimes what means the most makes the least of sense
One word. Life. So much suspense
The human mind
One hell of a kind
A heaven of every treasure known you just might find
