As You Stride By My Side

The tower of Babel
Ain't got nothing on you
Your legs long and trunk tall
Your incessant chatter and your blurred fingers
As you type type type
Documents of our lusts and wars
You silence only in order to
Eat in some breaths
As you stride by my side
Enemy prime and love first principal
You prolong your career as my
Primary adversary
With all your guile and charm
Your multitude of tones and speech
The hanging gardens you were in awe of
Their slopes reminding you of
Far away dreams
But they were destroyed
My enemy
My love
While we stride on purposeful
Our egos not unlike
The Colossus of Rhodes
Which duly crashed upon the earth
As you stride by my side
Eating in breaths during
Rare pauses and silence

Your Screed For a Better World

Your screed for a better world
I didn't read it
It was tedious and
And even more so was
Rife with friction causing errors
Of a grammatical nature
Also refrain further
From the usage of emotical symbols
Smiling and frowning
If you are to be taken
Seriously
Screedwise
You also mention
A better world if owls
Are put in charge
I didn't read it
But and
Might I suggest
If you want the owls or other avians
To take you serious
I would correct at least your
Friction causing
Grammatical errors and
Emotical symbols
Rife as they be
I didn't read it
Your screed for a better world

When Once We Kissed

There you are
Spying across the way
I see your eyes are black and glitter
I see your finger
Itching on
The trigger
I see your lips about to hiss
I remember vaguely when once
We kissed

Eyes locking
Heart stopping
At this and that lost
Occasion
But the silencer sound
Dims the glitter
And your lips
Twist all bitter
You didn't think
I'd come to our reunion alone my love
As your black eyes fade and your finger
Slackens
Loses its grip
Upon the trigger
I remember vaguely
When once we kissed
