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

I am alive?

“Funny, how that thing did and happened?” Gun Roswell

Alive?

I am only alive when 

Writing?

A story, a tale or a poem perhaps?

Until that time, I am gone
Existing, elsewhere?

Out there, in the stratosphere?

Is this, a simulation?

Real life or some memory?

But I am still, alive…

…Right?

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

I am not a perfectionist, but I always see the tiniest of flaws

“Flaw makes perfect?” Gun Roswell

A flaw here, another there!

So many flaws, I have some to share!
I’ve never been inspired to be the greatest
But neither am I among the totally flakiest

But in the years of late for sure
I have started to think of maybe, a cure?
For that nit-picking nagger, who’ll find all them flaws

Or maybe, just maybe, give it the hee-haw!?

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 

Cupcakes (Haiku)

“Eat them with care” Gun Roswell

Sweet tasty cake like treats
Cupped in packages for your eating pleasure
Eat them without any worries

Friday; forever on my mind


“End of the week?” Gun Roswell

Nearing, the end of the work week
Thursday, is not really what I seek
Friday, that would be much better, you do see?
But, let’s not let that be the chime
For the stop of all the fun time
Only, one more day to go
And, then, it’s time to start the show
A, weekend, a full two days
Just ahead, and much to do, in so many ways

So, why, do I live this way?

The week only spent for work and blunder
Always, someone stealing my thunder
Is it really so stranger, if I am an eternal dreamer
And keep looking forward to the only true wonder
The two days filled with joy and magic
These times made out of pure bliss
I have often had to really insist
To ban the other days completely of the list
Jump from Sunday back to Friday
Since that is the day, my day, when I get my way

Waiting for the working week finally to end!

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
