Mute Button

Turn off the power,

Close the door,

Sometimes it's better

To miss and ignore...

Incel

His advances

Were rejected,

Pretty much

As expected,

Ego, id, and

Psychology,

Checkmated

By biology...

Verminal

In the fading light,

Before the sunset,

A rat tries to eat

What it can get,

From crumbs 

Left on the ground,

By children no

Longer around...

Inevitable

Stick to your well-worn

Ways, if you must,

But a time will come,

When you'll have to adjust...

How To Do It

The operational mode,

He liked the most,

Was to put things in neutral,

And coast...

In It Together

Round and round

The marriage spins,

Similar numbers of

Losses and wins,

Facing the challenges

Each day sends,

The chaos management

Never ends...

Time Piece

My clock is inexorable,

It doesn't lie,

Measures the lost 

Minutes which pass by,

Such a power it has,

But I don't know why...

Pre-Launch

Here she sits,

Tense and erect,

Waiting for it

To take effect...

War Porn

News about war, fills me

With nausea, disgust,

But can't be ignored,

Watch it, I must...

Liquid

Something off about the Sea,

Waves mesmerizing, menacing,

Alternately... 

年金生活

Movement patterns

Long since arranged,

They go about their business,

Minimum words exchanged,

Chores and balancing

Means and ways,

Familiar hours pass

In their retirement days...

Steadfast

With wind-driven fury,

Waves crash on the sea-wall,

Which just bounces them back,

Doesn't move at all... 

Transition In The Dusk

A stillness

In the gloaming,

Gone the cold

The winds bring,

As winter

Insinuates spring...

War Is Hell

Into the suburbs of Kiev,

The Russian draftees advance,

Destroyed by the defenders,

They never had a chance...

Temporary

Her euphoria floated

Way up, like a cloud,

As much as the force

Of gravity allowed,

Momentarily free

From the daily thrall,

Breathlessly happy,

Before the fall...

自由の意味

At the end of the day,

Freedom's about being left alone,

Being able to walk away...

猫の目

Into a cynical quicksand,

Her enthusiasm sank,

Vibrance fading into

Something vague and blank,

Uneasy feelings

Multiplying, hover,

Then instantly changed by

A touch from her lover...

Stand Up

Laughing, and it became

Clear as he spoke,

That the joker was 

Funnier than the joke...

Inevitability

Improvement is possible,

Through the choices you make,

But, bad habits

Are hard to break...

Unity

In the face of nature's cruelty,

Together, we stay alive,

Sharing ideas and talents,

Together, we thrive...

Under The Surface

Silent maneuvers spin

Unfolding schemes,

Reality isn't always

What it seems...

コロナの朝

Pandemic winter morning,

Empty street, hardly a sound,

Soiled face mask

Stuck to the ground...

Desert Triangles

Through tremendous

Effort, and cost,

Monumental sweat,

So many lives lost,

Egyptian pyramids

Angled up to the sky,

But, one wonders, why...

臨機応変の措置

After a while, she came to

Accept, to understand,

That things in life don't

Always go as planned,

So, just do what it takes

To safely land...

Night Hunger

Restless, sleepless, in the

Not-yet-morning quiet,

Dreams of food, unreachable,

Due to my diet...
