Days linger like stragglers, a copse on the horizon, fields a-slumber,

a narrow road winding, through, I watch

the bird flock roam past, their voices, wings in the wind;

it's frigid, my bones weary for warmth that eludes, like answers of runes cast by a gnarled hand, osseous

like knobby tree roots, unyielding the cessation of winter, the oceanic self I hunger for, campfires

that actually warm and soothe these traveler fingers that trace words on tree bark, in prayer to be saved, salved,

drowned lips resuscitated,

to feel something alive for once, as evasive as a wil-o-the-wisp in a swamp.

tête-à-tête

Barefoot in the black sand

Windswept hair obscuring the sight

Watching, listening

To the crashing of the sea

Gripping a sunflower, dried and frail

Petals settling softly at her feet

A hum vibrating deep within her

But she doesn’t utter a word

Swallowed glass to cut away

The fecklessness

She grips stones collected on the shore

Squeezing until bones crack

At the base of the mountain

As storm clouds encroach

And she begs to be drowned in the briny deep

Long Song

Comes the long light through my window gentle shadow not linger creeping ‘cross my walls

Oh, river of gold take me with you your voice speaks softly and the road is hard

Let the darkness of night pass without sorrow without fright

A new day dawns across the world I strike out fresh a spring in my song

fit to fire

faultless body in the chamber lubricated ripe and ready

love me the way of being cocked back and fit to fire off

small target of this heart off in the distance

you are live ammo

aim for me I am wide open for you

head back eyes trembling in rapture

What’s your take on revenge on people that are truly deceiving?

I’m sure you believe in karma but what about someone taking it into their own hands.

I would recommend forgiveness over revenge. People who maliciously deceive other people live in their own personal hell. When people routinely lie, they lose touch with reality. The lies they tell to others, they also tell themselves, and they lose touch with the actual truth. On top of that, nobody trusts them so their words become hollow noises.

Your personal well-being is too important to drag yourself down by dwelling on revenge. When you are hurt by deception you are hurt. When you plot revenge, you are hurt by both the deception and by thinking of ways to harm another person. Then, if you follow through on the revenge, you escalate the antagonism. It is harm, leading to more harm, leading to more harm and it goes on forever.

When you recognize someone is deceitful to you, stop believing them. That is all the revenge you'll ever need. If you find yourself dwelling on it more, try to forgive so that you can put it down and move on.
