The Point Of Wasps

"I don't see
The point of wasps,"
He said to me.
"I mean bees make honey
But wasps...
They sting and things -
Fuss and buzz
About my plums."

Around us, flowers
Unravel like fragrant fractals.
And life, singed into the soil,
Dazzles in its place.

"Bees don't make honey
For us," I say.
"The point of wasps,
Like the point of bees -
Like me -
Is just to be..."

Mystery

I wish life could remain just a mystery. Not planned out to become just history. When did the time of the unknown become old. To remain in books with pages to unfold. Where did all of that magic go.

What is love But the absence of hate. An echoing void Into which we create What is love But a pardon of sin. A feeble excuse For those of our kin What is love Is it lust, is it more.

Wind chimes

Wind chimes on a stormy night, If you wish, come true it might. Spinning, swirling, Twisting, twirling, They sing like angels, they soar like kites.

It's All Fair

*Based off the saying,"All is fair in love and war.". In sickness. And in health. Through the poor. And the wealth. In pain. And in sorrow. Through the today's. And the tomorrow's. In past.

What Is Life?

What is life without breath. Without the heart that beats in our chest, Without the blood that runs through our veins, What is life. I do exclaim. What is life if not to love.

@yowwa thank you mate

@minxyMolly ow! Yeh, one flew up my cousin's nose and stung him. His face was a mess for a while.

@naaviie very kind of you to say... I can't believe I'm ever meaningful. Feel far too trivial for that

@Stablish great praise from the number one :-) thanks buddy

My philosophy of life is to live, so I enjoyed the meaning behind wasps existing, just for the sake of it.

@wolfie ouch!!! 😳😘

@naaviie can't claim I have any other importance :-)

It is perfect importance enough.

@RichWithey there was quiet swearing, sweat and careful shuffling. Made more complicated by nakedness
