We’re Through
you picked a fight
last night. and right
away I knew, sight
unseen, your bite,
like your bark, might
be worse than sleight
meant to excite.
those who delight
in keeping tight
eye on full fright
triggered by blight
have no foresight.
it’s not alright
when you invite,
most impolite,
a parasite
into our rite.
your acts incite
disdain; no white
flag stirred invite
in me tonight.
an erudite
would find no plight
to fear despite
sparks to ignite
a long, swift flight.
at dawn’s grey light –
you’ll find me quite
gone. Not in spite,
but set to write
a wrong.
Kilimanjaro
His rite,
Pulling himself to the height
So he could see the sight
That left so many in fright.
But, it was the slight
Movement towards the light
That turned his rite to shite.
Wedged within boulders so tight
Breathing became a fight.
He struggled with his might,
But the boulder on the right
Refused to help his plight.
He would have no limelight.
He wouldn't make it to midnight.
Juliet thought he'd be alright,
Despite not being very bright.
Now, in an unknown site,
He understands the night.
A’ight
In the middle of the night,
my dreams take flight,
soaring to crazy heights,
high like a kite,
into the sky so bright,
shining with supernatural light;
oh my, what crazy sights.
And then, I take a nocturnal bite,
like something sweet, pure delight,
much much better than just alright,
designed to taste buds excite.
Other times, nightmares blight
my nightly landscape, giving me a fright,
possibly landing in a fight,
maybe from some otherworldly spite
with a malevolent sprite,
for some wrong, some slight,
but whatever is the plight,
I battle with all my might;
the evil ones, I do smite,
until from my slumber I alight.
Come morning, in the flourescent white,
about such journeys, I write,
though it may be trite,
I think it turns out tight.
'Tis right, 'tis right,
Quite.
