PROMISES
The promises made
Were meant to be kept
But that means
By both sides…
Taking advantage
Of someone’s
Good nature…
That I can’t abide

GHOST
Is it a ghost
Or am I cursed?
Bad technology
Follows me everywhere…
A computer that quits
In the middle of a task…
It worked a minute ago
An application does the same
We’re so dependent on it…
Why does it all seem so lame?

THE CHANDELIER
In the center
Of the room
Hung a chandelier
Mostly unnoticed
Surely unloved…
It had been ignored
For so long…dust
And cobwebs galore
It was nothing special
Made of plastic, not glass
He was neither of those
He was flesh and blood…
But he understood
Being used and ignored
Of the room
Hung a chandelier
Mostly unnoticed
Surely unloved…
It had been ignored
For so long…dust
And cobwebs galore
It was nothing special
Made of plastic, not glass
He was neither of those
He was flesh and blood…
But he understood
Being used and ignored

COMPLICATED
Nothing is easy,
So they say…
That’s oversimplified
But day after day
Wanting to make
Life less complicated
I find…even that is
Complicated

DAILY PROMPTS prompt for 8/14/16: COMPLICATED
I Know What I Need
I know there’s not
A lot I need
But I’d always
Take kindness
Who wouldn’t
Like that?
I give it freely myself
To any who accept it
When will it
Come to me?
And where’s all that love?
I was told it was free
Damn … you couldn’t
Prove it by me…
Before I depart
This ‘mortal coil’
You can bet
I’m taking my fill
A happiness deficit
Nearly broke my will
Rest assured…
I’ll be making up for that
Truly … I will
