Evening Splendor

Cold evening, hushed moon

Spreads splendor on earth

Silent nostalgia

Conniption!

My janky lappy

Makes me scooch to kid’s own

Conniption, it gave!

Bashful Heart

I have a faint and sensitive heart

That could easily be touched or  hurt

Even with the simplest of words

That may seem to be a feather or sword

I have a faint and sensitive heart

That can be both hard and smart

Even with the kindest of words I do not relent

That are clothed to conceal the wicked  intent

I have a faint and sensitive heart

That can be kind but could be torn apart

Even with the unexpected turn of events

That would likely haunt and rend

I have a faint and sensitive heart

That could return you manifold

The love and bond that you  invest

For you in joy to behold

I have a faint and sensitive heart

That could bleed when you depart

Even when you need to go

That I may forgive you so.

His Downfall

A noble man he was, noted for integrity

He created a fair name and position

In politics that was wicked and dirty

And oft looked upon with much derision

He had on his side strong foundation

Of being a family man with good education

Endowed with a beautiful wife to boot

He had no intention to plunder and loot.

 What avail to his reputation is spouse's beauty

If her empty mind is proud and haughty

When she speaks and acts in nature detriment

To her husband's interests and betterment.

When people mistook her actions as his

The popularity curve soon plunged to abyss

Unknown to him she in every area meddled

Till his political future was totally befuddled.

Sinful....

Sinful indulgences

Chocolates, ice creams and cakes

My guilty pleasures!
