I spy, a fortress

“History, in motion on full display” Gun Roswell

Tall, big and dandy 

Like a castle, made of sand

Home of many a kings and queens 

While visiting, maybe some of them to be seen?

I spy, with my eye, a fortress

Defying history, by being ageless

Statuesque, with stony walls

Standing in place, never to fall

Plenty of people will stand there and ogle

Some of them looking through their goggles

A sight for the tourists and centuries

But maybe not there, for all to please

Coffee. Nuff said.

“Did I mention, that I really love coffee?” Gun Roswell

Today, is time for, Coffee

There’s no form of life without, Coffee 

A world revolves around, Coffee

That’s it, Coffee

Life=Coffee

Nuff said, I’m outta here!

And getting some more, Coffee

Red-Yellow (Haiku)

“Flowers with so many powers” Gun Roswell

Flowers of red and yellow
Garden now full, in a month null
Enjoy the beauty before gone

Red

“Fire and fury, that is the colour, right?” Gun Roswell

Red, like a glorious sunset
Red, like the face after a long fight
Red, fierce, fabulous, jaw-dropping
Red, just like my very own life?

The Escape (Haiku)

“Escaping to the future, or at least tomorrow?” Gun Roswell

Moving towards the fading horizon 
Looking for the future in the past
A boat trip, one way 

Vortex (Haiku)

“Deep diving into black coffee” Gun Roswell

Jump into the dark liquid
Let the vortex carry you far away
Later, drink it for happiness 

A fitting transport for a Mundane Monday 

“Choose and pick, which ever you may fancy!” Gun Roswell

Taking the tram to work :

As in a tram, you can calmly sit down and even have a ham
No need for steering, for peddling for even discussion of any kind, if you so decide
Just sit and enjoy, the ever changing scenery, and when you are ready to jump of, shout ahoy
Or then, just push the red stop button, instead!

The Green and the Seat

“Take a load off on a Sunday on the Green Seat, even if it might not fit” Gun Roswell

The Sunday is once again upon us, like some lurking fiend waiting for the bus.
It is a slow and gentle time, which for most can be simply good and all fine.
But for those with a permanent fire lit up their asses, it can feel like harassment.
As they need to calm the hell down and if possible, take it easy and finally, sit down!
Something, which may never become easy for them, but then again, we are not all built the same.
Still, if and when the decision is made, to take a break for once and be all the same.
Then take a seat, take a load off, stop the huff and puff and simply enjoy the calm day.
After all, tomorrow, just may, be filled with all kinds of things to sort out and forget the play.
So, maybe Sunday wasted, wasn’t all that wasted, rather a moment where inhaling was allowed.
And for that very reason, simply laying about, can always be a good thing, for recharging.
Even if it is done on a way too small seat, painted all in green.

Three cats in file formation


“The cats like to pack up, when going to sleep, for warmth and all that, I guess, or then, it’s something else completely” Gun Roswell

When cats, take a nap, they bundle up, snuggly with as many of them in there, tightly

This might just be, for the companionship, or for the warmth, or perhaps, because they can

Curling up, their flexible bodies in balls, as only the cats can, but also across the surface span

Widely and tall, even if they seem quite small, still, giving your very own bed, just to let

Those furry felines to have a rest, well, that is the way of the keepers of them cats

Letting them rest up, when even they must, and if you are lucky to have more than a few

Then maybe you can catch them all in a bunch of perhaps, they decided to make a row

Soon enough sleeping tightly, and leaving the keeper of them smiling as cats are cats

Be that a Caturday on a Saturday, or any other day of the week, they really do like to sleep

And sleep you must let them do, and soon enough follow maybe to a sleep you will them too

Rain, no shine, pretty please!


“Bring me rain, to be able to breathe” Gun Roswell

Bring me no shine no more
But lots of rain down on me pour
I need to breathe in the liquid
This sunshine is killing me quickly

I tried so hard to adjust
Because I was told I must
But in the scorching light
I feel my will lost the fight

I was happier in the darker dreary
Feeling everything near me
The shiny bright open wide
I cannot find a place to hide

Shadow almost gone now
Even the winds hotly blow
Only one place left to go
But I cannot reach the under growth

Please hear my plead o’ mighty Thor
Send down some rain and roar
Heal this bleeding sores
Before all that remains is deadly scorned
