No Rhyme or Reason My words flow as tears Into the mouths of hungry sinners Tasting of salt and imaginations— The things Pandora sought to hide Though for no rhyme or reason, Except to prevent the season’s blush From becoming as endless as Eden’s beauty And as hypnotizing as a woman’s smile… Perhaps there is a deeper reason, Even though it does not rhyme To these painted lines that bleed--- The excess of which runs creatively through veins Avoiding the fate of old men and fables While wisdom escapes the lips of sleeping children, Incoherent thoughts without reason And without rhyme… But life seems to teeter this way and that, Just ask the day awaiting the night Or hate secretly wanting to love… Hypocritical yet contrite my reasons In defining what I thought myself to be Not from education or sophistication of balance But from not knowing and not placing boundaries On the opinions, emotions, and lives of others…. Still I find a reason to embrace the next day Smiling because an Angel’s pen has kissed my lips Waking me from this last dream sublime, An attempt to not make reason to rhyme. Marcel |

Stripping away all that is imposed by the expectations of what success means... We are just this...man and woman. Once created to be just this...and beautiful. Outstanding write. |

I just do not know what to say... this is just spectacular "Waking me from this last dream sublime, An attempt to not make reason to rhyme." I utterly love these lines. I wish I could tell you exactly what I loved about the whole thing but I'm as close to speechless as I'm likely to get. Wow! "The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun |
