Lights and Colors

Light of Day
A kaleidoscope
Of brilliant colors and lights
Illuminating
Fascinating route
A journey ever so blunt
On those uncharted
Oh! let there be light
Those forever lost in life
Take it by the horn
Grapple with problems
A bright colorful future
Will await us there

Lust Shatters

Greed Reins
He
Basking in power and glory
On the threshold of higher office back home
But was whisked off a plane 'cuffed', sans dignity
Now embroiled with and slapped with sex assault allegations
She
A maid in NY City
Now presented with an opportunity
While man was in his bath robe
She was indecently groped
He
Reportedly heads a strong legal team
Penchant for getting huge compensations
Tempts her and waiting in the wings
Triumphantly declaring to push for the moon
It's pathetic!
It's repugnant!
Man is down and out
Man has lost
Man is down on his luck
But others are talking of getting big bucks
Let the law take its due course
Appropriate justice meted out
But these individuals separate from the rest
Are ready to swoop down and destroy
Gleefully smacking their lips
To exact their pound of flesh!

Responding to the prompt 'threshold' in Writer's Island # 25

A Shell of their Dream
Photo Image: Courtesy of Willow's Magpie
Up the hill they went
Oblivious of imminent danger
'I'm in my elements'
so they triumphantly declared
'Danger is my forte'
Can they be blamed?
The foolhardy ventured out
Inexperienced youthful vigor
Let them be!
The process of learning
Take many forms
All the more richer
In facing the world
All that they have gone through
The test of time
The test of nerves
Experience is what counts
A shell of their own self
To better equip one's own!

Oak and Steel ( a haiku)
Bare bench yielding life
Of strong oak and hard dark steel
Had seen better days
A measure of nerve
Whispering tenacity
Show me where it lies
Sequence of events
Witnessed silently therein
Secrets kept within
Inspired by Ella's Edge at Thursday Think Tank #51
