I know, I know--
the allure of it.
I embrace the malice
poison in a loving cup--
engraved upon the chalice--
there my epitaph.

Every time that I awake
I fight the sprouts in reach of more--
pulling up the good earth seed
with napalm of "some more."

Oh I know, futility
of waking every day--
but to slay me once again.
I die daily, gratefully.

I am the seed of Saul.

Do you ever sleep??
I see this a little dark but the writing is very interesting.
I do know one thing the world is a better place with you in it.

Have a good one

"I embrace the malice poison in a loving cup"----Whyever would be that so, Dear Karen?!

The concept of malice poison in a loving cup is brill! But, embrace it? My, oh my, I do believe there may be a bit of the masochist in you today! You deserve nectar of the Gods in your loving cup! Nothing less should do!

Thought-provoking strokes of brilliance from your illustrious pen!

Have a day of wonder & bliss!--you need it!

smile.

Just sort of a take on being a mass of battling dualities--seed of Saul, before he became Paul, yanno?

sigh.

okay, okay, I'll cheer up.

er, soon.

Thanks for reading.

ahh...bitters, branch water and bourbon:

"malice...in a loving cup"

delightful at dusk before the hunt or dawn relaxing before tucking in for the long day's night.

A great poem. I salute you.

I often wonder how many lives I have . . .
have far surpassed the feline and not too sure if there is anything comparable . . .

bless you lots - I die with you on these pages . . .
