OPENED MY WINDOW(to let some darkness in)

Oil seeped out of my television screen
Random explosions destroying civilians
seed feed continuous transmission
Let it go.....release/switch off
Anger's tears ,piled resentments
Emotion's wild horses,fences/limits
All await a clearer day/night
Dreams may come and go like snow
or clouds across a humid sun
Waiting changes everyone)
All good advice is just a mirror
to soak up fear /outbursts of anger
Red raw the blood/stone fire heart.
only now i make fresh start
to chart the path not of stars
more the way the water goes
with least resistance/around and under
until a better moment allows more growth
and we are fed by more than
what we know

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
Surrounded by your goodness
no guarantees) we are linked
even when too many leave
their sacred skin /reminding us
how temporary time/
NEXT!

mODDern rhymes
He reads from his blackberry
She from her iphone
I spill strawberries
across blank faced white page
all of us/following lines
