sweet petite angel
doing her ASMR
a troubled soul soothed

Her holding flowers
beautiful, breathtaking sight
my heart enamored

Dissolution
Shiva is dancing
chaos mounting in the world
the ending pending

Wolf
saw a wild wolf once
stared at me surprisingly
mesmerizing eyes

Real Love
My love for you is so pure, so true, so strong that
I could even love you beyond the pleasures,
the ecstasies, of consummated physical love –
platonically.
My love for you is a higher everlasting love beyond
the ravishes of aging, the illnesses, the infirmities,
the declining passions, beyond anything and everything –
unendingly.
I love you immeasurably, and as long as you want me to,
I will keep on loving you no matter our trials or our fates,
and I will cherish you and love you always and –
eternally.
Bob Boyd
True Love
When the sun
melts in the sky
and all the stars die
I’ll still be loving you.

Death Is Like A Sniper
Shooting
Us
Dead
Quietly
Unseen
Invisible
Stealth.
Never
See
Him
Like
A
Sniper
Camouflaged
And
Hidden
In
A
Tree.
Watch
Out
Take
Cover
Duck
Next
Could
Be
You
Or
Me.

Dear Flowers
Read you have feelings
Believe that’s true
And that you
Can feel pain
And fear
And communicate
With other flowers,
A secret language
I wish I knew.

Genesha
Cows may be hot sacred stuff
in India and sometimes
maybe obstacles in the streets.
But an elephant has them beat
Ganesha, a Hindu god and
The Remover of Obstacles.
Bob Boyd
The Gamble
rich and poor the same
in the outcomes of their lives
a roll of the dice

Shiva’s Dance
Do the Hindus have it right;
Shiva’s dance a real or
metaphoric thing?
A universe created and
destroyed in cycles,
who came up with that?
Shiva?
Imagine cosmos and
our world, starting over
again and again –
indefinitely.
No one trick pony,
recurring circus.
New entertaining delights,
different life forms each time.
Maybe green and gray
alien-looking creatures.
Recurring creation and destruction:
In like manner, do we recur too,
reincarnation maybe.
Who really knows?
Shiva?
If pure mythology,
still spiritually cool.
Dance of Shiva statue
amazing, loaded
with deep symbolism.
The mantra is cool
and powerful:
Om Namah Shivaya.
Tried it once, intense
and images of tigers
everywhere I went,
even on TV.
Shiva Synchronicity.

The Wheel
You might thrill at the prospect
of returning to this life, a better
2.0 you. I do not.
You might feel, we have to spin
on the wheel of rebirths until
we get it right and liberate.
But consider returning on the
cusp of a nuclear holocaust.

Done With Her
really done with her
he tells his supportive friends
a lie his heart knows

Pigeons
pigeons in the air
flying time out of their loft
a hawk closing in

Shark
shark swimming near me
freaked out I swim at warp speed
my leg a shark treat
