Sunset Sonnets 7

Survival

Long night
conflict and fight
clinched fists,face tight
one jab left, one jab right
none flinching even slight
pouncing like predatory kite
snatch what does meet sight
winner takes with might
looser dust bite

Sunset Sonnets 8

Sin


while i slept she cried
wondering why i lied
she said she did tried
but was taken for ride
nothing is left to hide
let no rules to abide
fallen prophets don't guide
amidst the surging tide
somewhere she wants to hide

Sunset Sonnets 9

Faith


When you walk a tight rope
What all you have is hope
the rope is taught, firm feet
but then shall the twine meet
the rod balancing end to end
is in itself a task to fend
one slack on rope or slight bend
may plummet the walk to end
though confidence you do pretend
each step is faith lend

Sunset Sonnets 4

Shuffle the cards make the deal
Spin the shiny roulette wheel
Throw the dice let's play the game
let put at stake fortune and fame
If you win i stand to loose
and that is i intend to choose
for if i win burden is mine
gold is weight what if it shine

Sunset Sonnets 3

nothing is left to maime or kill
now its silent and its still
they bleached the rainbow, raped the hill
with some inflated development bill
spread a farm of smoking mill
and left natives no land to till
looted their land stole there skill
to reap profits till pockets fill

sunset sonnet 1

life sometimes is such a whore
sinks you at the hem of shore
what hind and what fore
tides tides tides more
brine seeping into core
what venom did it bore
guts grind, stomach roar
slime, puke oh! what a gore
who knows what else is in store
life sometimes is such a whore

Sunset Sonnets 2

Ego


that brick on the wall
just makes it tall
beyond reach
of one and all
here you walk
and there it stalls
and someday
it will make it fall
