Book preview

Elusive Word.

There is a world out there,

With a lot of spaces.

So many emotions to describe,

So many different faces.

To describe what you feel,

To try to stoke the fires of imagination,

To fill the world with descriptive splendor,

Trying to find the elusive word.

Sitting still and staring at the screen,

Waiting for a spark in your brain to ignite,

Murmuring different phrases and compositions,

But they just don’t taste right.

Temporary writers block,

You definitely know what you are saying,

But you must choose well the words,

To show the world you are good at writing.

Searching still for that elusive word,

Looking for a key to unlock the verse,

A simple mysterious but important word,

Being elusive, hidden from view.

In My World.

In my world I love to hide,

Deep and warmly inside,

Because it is cold outside,

And the people are too!

In my world I keep myself,

Busy doing things I like to do,

Hidden from the intruding people,

Silent and distant and hidden from view,

In my world I plan many things,

Most of them come to fruition,

Maturing into a world in themselves,

To my joy and interpolation!

In my world I am a crafty devil,

I’m fond of my way and DIY,

Hand crafting objects and scenes,

Always truthful, never a lie.

In my world I keep things simple,

No time for the complex and extraordinary,

Just plodding ahead like us hermits do,

Hidden from many and hidden from you.

Light.

What we sometimes see,

Is not always the truth,

It might not make much sense,

But it will make you see the light.

Sometimes we move too fast to see,

What is really going on around you and me,

The people in the street become a blur,

Ignoring the faces as if you don’t care.

In the city there is a hive of activity,

There are also a million bright lights,

Overlapping and merging into
