Seduction,
The streets are paved with gold!
Any you can kick out of the teeth
of others.
Always with guile, with a smile.
Sadist.
Give the gold back in pieces while
They run your errands to fetch rubbish you don't need,
So you can impress people you don't know & embellish
An existence you don't deserve.
It will help to build a person you don't like or believe.
Seems like even for all scenery it's an empty room you rest in.

A little known but highly influential standard in the revolutions
Of mankind, wheels within wheels.
It's so easy to get ahead in this life,
If you can cope with one simple problem.
How do I live with so little??
A life with out consequence is the dream of multitudes
In pursuit of happiness.
Mine also,
Set me free
Set me free from responsibility,
Set me free from wheels within wheels
On streets of gold.

With an infant on the throne
The kingdom lies in peril, under a weight of strife.

you are a high quality poet i.b. when i read your writes i know they are going to be of a high standard, with some higher percieved meaning behind them. there are times when you are just a cut above, and this was one of them. beautiful, abstract, intelligent, a sublime piece of writing.

I mirror Phill, he said it all.
I too love the abstract and then finding the meaning between the words webbed so perfectly in your work.
Sorry I have not comment in awhile, things have been a nightmare in life out here for me.

Hugs
