Attacked by Earthly Pleasures

There it was.  On a table. Party platter. People gathered. Luring.  Tempting me. Questioning the authenticity of recent allergies.  Peanuts.  Soy.  Now seafood. Healthy all my life. Never broke a bone.  Hardly had a cold.  Bodies. Only human. Can endure only so much. And although I am set free….I know….consequences of life styles always catch up. […]

Trying to clear head….                 Find rest from puzzles with sharp edges.                 And I recollect their beauty. …Any building still standing must have a strong foundation. And emotions surge.               As I grip all I have got.                           Fragments.                                    Pulled apart….And I ask…               Why is vision […]
