The Devil asked for my Little Finger but stole my Whole Hand for TBT

“I wake up and I see the face of the devil and I ask her, “What time is it?”
And she says, How much time do you want?” Diamanda Galás

The Devil asked for my Little Finger but stole my Whole Hand

You finally sunk onto the level
Where you were ready to deal with the Devil
Cutting the deal might have seemed easy
But what you found out made you queasy

What you didn’t realize when offering one finger
The Devil had hers crossed while your decision was a linger
What you thought was a small and simple deal
Turned out to be much more than a steal

You see, when striking a deal with the Devil
You will be entering at your own peril
To a contract you think you can choose
Much more than you care to loose

So, now that you got what you wanted
Still, you can’t help feeling haunted
Your eyes always checking the stern
Wondering, if and when she will return…

“Adventure is worthwhile.” – Aesop

A Day in the Island of Kos for WWW

I’ll tell you no lies:
There were blue skies
Clear and cool as ice
Worth while
Ye old blue eyes

Fun in the Sun

Afternoon,
Feeling lazy
Real life, all hazy
Turquoise waters
With no otters
Laying about
Poolside,
No doubt!
No hurries
No worries
Just living
For today
Wishing
I could stay
More
Than a week!

Sitting on a seat, in Cyprus

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte

 

Sitting on a seat, in Cyprus

A single seat?
Or one designed for two?
In this heat
Who could want to be glued
To someone else’s skin
With clothes this thin

Cats ans Dogs 

Cats and Dogs
Put them in a box
What secrets untold
Before you unfold
When the box is opened
Only keep hoping
There is no other agenda
Are they friends or enemies
Or just plain frenemies
That is the age old dilemma
Of Cats and Dogs

Fabulous Friday!

Fabulous Friday!

A new day
A new weekend
A new leaf

A new beginning
A blank page
I am, in center stage

On my way
My vision quite clear
People looking, in disbelief
As I am swinging
Down the street

Sounds of pops and crackles
Letting out a chuckle
Heading towards the harbour
The fireworks beginning
Feeling like I’m winning

Found the new location
Time for a celebration
For new sensations
Time for fun and play
To the rhythm starting to sway

Music and laughter
Not feeling the dafter
Only joy and being alive
Time for a high five
Let’s all have a ball

Life without Coffee? in TBT

Posted in Throwback Thursday

“There is no life before the first cup of coffee in the morning”

Life without Coffee?

It’s getting to be a borderline cliche
Like something so unnerving at play
But out of all the things to loose
If I really had to choose
What ever troubles life may bring
There is this only one thing
There is one thing I cannot do without
Uttered without hesitation or doubt
Not without my Coffee!

World Wide Wednesday in Lanzarote

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin

Lanzarote

Into the harbour and down to the beach
Plenty of scenery if that’s what you seek
Blue skies, sunshine and warm weather
How could the holidays get any better?

A road trip to a nearby village
If we were Vikings, we’d certainly pillage
A quaint little place
A while everyone stays
But later it’s time to set sail
And back to the resort trail

A land filled with rocks and lava
Taking it easy with a cup of java
Especially since it’s as hot as a sauna
But still, this is almost complete nirvana
