There's a devil inside who whispers you are left with nothing,
neither a kiss nor a fish. And then he cackles;

You have been denied the entwining of a gurgling little fist
But you have been gifted the fumes of a love blackened crisp.

An angel stands outside, unwilling to knock
You have nothing? He laughs.He mocks.
Now, now, keep it safe under a lock,
You must know it is loaned from
God's own stock.

    Disclaimer

    This is where I will be fanciful, silly, unembarrassed, gushy, mushy, maudlin, giggly, and perhaps rarely, wise. I claim to be neither a poet nor a translator but here you might find me doing both -- writing poetry and translating all that I love. I claim neither to beauty of prose nor to wisdom of thought. I claim neither to originality nor to brilliance. I claim neither to appeal nor to sense. What I do claim to is this space -- endless space, mine and mine alone. To indulge.
