Ten Small Poems 4
A shadow mimics our dark side.
A sultry whisper softly voiced
may test one’s conscience
more than a yell from hell.
A surprise is a short-lived epiphany.
A buried secret is often on the mind of the deceased.
A stroke of luck gives the conscience a pass.
A windfall gives the conscience a clean slate.
A betrayal can lead to heartbreak.
Heartbreak can lead to duplicity.
Duplicity can lead to divorce.
A sleepless night time filled with shadows
can bring a panic and thoughts of death
until the Sun rises, as if it knows.
We all have a partner, lover, or soulmate
who when sadness suffocates
facilitates the lifting of the weight.
The wonder of love’s journey
is not the heartbreaks of yesterday
but the beautiful tableaus
we created along the way.
May the dreams of our tomorrows
surpass the reality of today.

My dear friend, I find you to be the modern day Confucius, in the wisdom and the cleverness of your words. I just love your 10 small poems, they are by no means "small".
Thank you, Bella. My wife thinks I\'m more Confusion than Confucius. LOL Maybe wisdom comes with, "Time on Planet."
If we spend too much time in our own company the arguements becomes boring ...
Oh how you inspire me, I had a good chuckle at some of these bravo bravo. 🌹
Thank you, Teddy. Love it! Boring arguments. You come up with some good ones. Keep going.
More good ones Phil and that last one is so true.
