The Risk Of Loving

The Risk of Loving…..by Susi Bocks

Inspired by Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Jewels & Reena’s Exploration Challenge #174

the streaming brilliance of those i adore
elicit my smiles and warm heart-felt thanks
for providing a cushion from the cruelty in this world

the love i hold for those i love
fills me with joy and comfort
an ease not found elsewhere but with them

occasionally worry squeezes my head
allowing anxiety to ripple through my heart
the safety of the jewels in my life takes priority

i hope desperately to ensure their longevity
because what would i be
without them

They know that Trump is a criminal, and they want to put the screws to him to make the dirt come out, but he has not been put on the rack yet.  They will scrutinize his tax returns, which he claimed that he was not able to release because he was under audit, but he is no longer the president and he can’t continue to make excuses, so these tax experts will run through his tax return and start ripping it to pieces, and then he’ll end up in an audit, which will ultimately produce taxable consequences, and he will be forced to pay penalties and I hope this ends in jail time for him.  Trump has tried to avoid releasing his taxes for decades and it is not clear yet if he broke any laws, but it is thought that he has avoided paying hundreds of millions in taxes…

Now that I’m one,

Realisation has dawned that the grass may be greener, but it’s constant work to keep it so,

All that I do now is work from home, work for home.

This finite life is taken for granted,

Infinite it is deemed to be,

Forgetting joys are to be cherished,

And worries are to be shelved,

Burdens of the world leans on every fragile shoulder.

Come into the world solo, but seek recognition lifelong,

Safeguard our close ones, closing them to those innermost anxieties,

Anticipation of birth cheers, even though everything is an unknown,

Brutality of Death scares, even though end is known,

Isn’t death just birth at another realm?

A starry start afresh,

“Is this Gloria Smith the same girl from your class, who migrated to England?” “The face looks familiar, but yet, I’m not sure.” “The red hair are as you described it.” “Well, colours of memory changed with the advent of hair colour.
