Tattoo

Needle stabs the flesh
Ink spreads out under the skin.
Illustrated man.
Is it art or something else?
Only lasting a lifetime.

"Only"?


Came close to getting "stabbed" once...then begged off.

HUMAN

Born toothless, helpless
sucking for long months on end
taking years to thrive.

Trapped in the machine

Endless corridors
Keyboards clack, inbox explodes
No one calls your name

Spring

The short, weathered stalks
now have small leaves appearing.
The sun will warm them.
Make them more ambitious,
hungering to reach new heights.

It can be a sterile world, sans emotion.

You sir, are full of hope/expectation...of this I lack at the moment!

ANTICIPATION

Wanting to know what
future events will unfold,
I wait with longing.

ICE STORM

Falling sheets of ice,
tearing limbs from evergreens
downing power lines!

LOVE

Infatuation
it starts, but in time it grows
to dedication.

Spring

Snow and rain argue.
One dying, one starting life.
Both hold the same fate.

Morality

Facism rises
Resistance is not futile
It becomes duty

April Morning

The still air is cold.
Fireplace embers are stoked.
The gray light seeps in.
Bare trees stare through the window,
feeling life enter their roots.

This Is A Recording

Records spinning round
Records broken on thin ice
Guess the final score...

Good job! And, if you get the chance, take in the movie "24" (2025); an excellent example wherein "the price of freedom is death".

Plus, stay to the end "Credits" to appreciate how those who took part in the resistance, AFTER WWII were affected!

In both cases, the numbers do count, for the "score", eh?

The generation of my grandparents was directly affected during the roughly five years of German occupation they 'enjoyed'.
The firsthand stories, whispered secrets and the oftentimes deafening silence about certain events painted quite a vivid picture about that period of time in my mind.
I might check the movie regardless.
