when will it stop?
everything ends
drink the last drop
as the wound mends
it had to happen:
the pain and the pleasure
so had fate woven
the path to our treasure

when will it start?
no longer needs proving
passions are moving
we'll need a new chart.
when will it happen?
that two horse dream
a heartful of greed
far beyond need

a roll of the dice
don't have to think twice
gave away problems
never did solve em
of course, they return
bigger and badder
of course, hearts burn
silently stern
Hells, well-earned
block out the chatter

Counted in the extreme thought of bi-rated reprisal and condemned in its mercy โ€“ Richard J Tilley

Someone left a very nice ("Canada Nice") message about of the last poems I posted, Carnival Rations. It is so hard to get feedback when every other person it out there offering this or that perspective, and there is nothing wrong with that, but I think even regular readers are shaded in such a way they feel compelled not to comment.
