Another Snowflake of the Universe


A lady staring at the watcher wistfully, almost as if she is daring the observer to discover what she feels
A Painting inspired by the work of brilliant artist Malcolm T. Liepke


Tender is the love I feel today


Plans lay crumpled on a page


A New Year, a bookmarked stage


I've got less and less to say


I'm avoiding everyone like the plague


I'm tired of feeling so sickly


Effort, a costly accessory, like money


What's another metaphor? Another simile?


The quarter of my life


An unimpressive slight


I'm hoarding so many things


A rhythm of loss sets in


But I don't know what I've lost


Randomness has a pattern


A snowflake of the universe, you best believe


Obedience is not a measure of goodness, only ease


I wonder if their heart aches


Ones who follow all the rules


And end up with broken hearts still


Discovering a cancer, no smoking, no weed


No alcohol or substances

But the cancer still found a feast


Is this the pain they were talking of


Are there ways to make this stop


Newer words, older rhyme


A rhythm to let this feeling shine


Words falling into place


The waste of a page


A beauty has come of it


Rose coloured glasses off


Slipped the convenience of eating meat

I ease into another year


I promise myself some softness this once


Here slips another trip around the sun


And I let it


For the first time, I let it slip
