No paperback

Place that last apple

In my basket of selfishness…

And if life is based on example

Then our hearts are still directionless

 

These hues of the ground

Play in tidal fever…

In lethargy I am forever bound

In night, with this life going shiver

 

My heart is stubborn

Like a nemesis on his last mission

It may be now summer

Yet I’m stuck in my winter’s limited edition…

I love your poetry

I know that stuck feeling
Only its natural to go through this natural selection process

Like nature
Taking out the bad and bringing in the good

Lovely

Nah...I dont think you're cold, just very selective. Not really such a bad way to be. Not everything in this world is for you...and yet it is :) Some people sit on higher octaves and yet, perfection is ALWAYS meant to be strive for and never achieved. Keeps the circulation going...you know what I mean?

[Ana B.]

I think you're dead on about me :) Thank you for the insight Lynn

Beautiful choice of words: "basket of selfishness". Loved it to the full! I agree, the heart's stubborn, it never listens to what we want it to listen, but always follows the direction of its spirit which's itself a "pool of selfishness": "wanting more". So, if we compare "apple" with "life", everything'd get cleared to hearts. Apples fall from the trees & get rolled down on the ground from here to there, the life gets brushed off of love and gets mingled and swayed all around the heart with some.. memories. Quite odd to read but sometimes, it's good to think in that way. Nice imagery though. Liked your work.

Ps. Have a very smashing day to you too, btw! ;)

[Ana B.]

I guess we wouldn't want life any other way.....Thank you very much for the insight

[Adam Adams]

You're welcome.
Yes, you're right. Life has two aspects: "Sweet & Sour": "Sour & Spice". Sweetness brings love though removes sour-ness. Sours bring love-aches though helps getting healed up with wounds. So, I believe... both things're worth-living along.. life to making a life better living. I wonder, what if there's no ache but only pleasure? Would one be blessed to understand .. even volume the fathoms of someone's tears and happiness? I don't think so.

[Ana B.]

Well, no matter what, i'm a firm believer that the universe is conspiring in our favor :)

Good one ;)
