gettin my poetry on

A little bit of venting via poetry...

Like puppets we dance and romance

Unaware of the strings to which we are attached
The rope that guides us so gently into this trance
Chains to restrain
How can I break free?

What plan so devised could remedy such a structured existence

The poisons we ingest are our own
For a failed fortune I cannot place blame
For the sins we commit and the smoke we inhale
I cough because I'm a rookie, they say
take it like a man
and don't forget to pay your dues

for what cost are my own sins compensated?
Greetings and Salutations
Welcome to the real world

For what is genuine, sincere, and authentic?
I can no longer distinguish
Perhaps all my faith, all my trust, has diminished
Happiness is feasible
Of this there is no question

But Is the cure to life an unbreakable shell
Is it my soul I must sell?

Tender, loving, trusting, kind… it seems for this I am fined
Ignorant naïve? To some extent it may be
But my best intentions are always imminent

My happiness is pending,
Like a forthcoming business transaction
I'm waiting for them to seal the deal
But I am the contractor
I better make it happen on my own
Because today everyone is out for themselves.

Some recent snaps, enjoy

A Day with Smylies! :)

A trip to sunny San Diego

I finally escaped the chilly Mammoth weather for some quality time in the sun. I LOVE it down there.

Here are some photos

From Mammoth to San Diego- what a climate change!

A nice little storm to send us off

On the way

Downtown San Diego...

The Zoo!

[Love that hippo]

This giraffe was born while we were there! He's pretty tall for being only a few minutes old, ey?

 Hanging out...

Randomly saw this walking back from the beach, i'm impressed.

Until next time!  :D

Hawaii!
