Ambition

What a curious bug that crawls,
On silver-thread legs.
Clad in rain-cloud armor,
Though it never falls.

And fears no hurt, for all's
Horizontal.
Even when it climbs up walls;
Never stalls.

Some insane, soundless, sense,
Must pervade its primitive mind.
The treasures that it seeks,
Our eyes could never find.

this is a hidden love poem. it has been hidden in the comments. this way no one will find it...but i will have it here, saved. you may laugh:


Sometimes you are a swimming pool
Or the softness of a valley,
A tiny boat caught in a storm;
Sometimes, a Roman galley.

A tree that's rooted deep and firm,
So none can see you whole.
If they would follow just one root,
They'd end up in my soul.

A Fanta bottle's lovely curves
Or waves that shape the sea.
Wind that flows, wherever it goes,
Uncaught and always free.

A first edition without a copy.
(The rarest type of broad!)
A manuscript that was never writ,
The unpublished work of God.

Both hit home. And sometimes its just the right mix of the right mood and the right words with the right flow. and sometimes its all so wrong. and yea these fleeting fixation is our ambition and our disease.

May the saga of the lost mad soldier and his conniving cattle of a wife have a happy ending.
