[bodytext] => Here on planet Earth Whims are granted in thirds Finish your food Or you won’t get dessert Lick the plate clean Nothing goes to waste Nothing is empty space A simple case Of a mistaken identity phase With a multiple personality face From onset to an elaborate escape Scattered like tongues on a forgotten taste Leave the wreckage for the wrecking crew A message was delivered The messenger never knew Links of events which escalade into the present tense Content in the moment of relevance Upset by the lack of upward bliss A close shot yields to the near miss A tear traded for the chance of a kiss Enhance the reception or static interrupts the seductive hiss The whisper of truthfulness Mister and misses Mistresses and minerals with delicious Nutritious providing conditions Revisions outdating original scripts A visit from the fairy tales on which they insist Are true meanings of lessons on life and its gifts And so the expanding rift Indeed does exists Here in the real world You don’t get everything you wish You can’t say a magic word And suddenly you’re indulged Magically you’re fulfilled A mere celebratory thrill Shallower in term of your resistance Words bounce off chests And leap into pockets Swept and unkempt Under the carpet of neglect Where no one protects your neck No one bothers to take a hard look Or even periodically check _________________________ _____________ [comments] => 1 [counter] => 179 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Jyssvw22 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
