Google, your data suppression methods are obvious, easily recorded, abysmally inept and generally pathetic.

The simple fact that you actively engage in suppressing this and other alternative news sites means we have won and TRUTH will prevail in the end.

Chasing Tigers

dragon.jpg

ascend like a dragon,
rising
into the light
challenging the reflection
in your eyes

your intentions
easily determined
by those
that should not be privy
to your heart's deepest desires

wild tiger lily,
flying flower
searching for somewhere
to take root,
grow and
bloom into the light

finding no safe haven
or suitable ground
you continue
toward the horizon

but the horizon
recedes as you approach
always unreachable;
it offers false hope,
impossible dreams,
disappointment
and uncertainty

never allowing itself
to be traversed,
remaining elusive
yet always tantalising,
alluring

let it go,
find action in non-action;
location in dis-location,
if you would find your prize

descend now,
allow your dreams
and aspirations
to settle in reality

sighing,
purring at times
how easily you
glide in and out
of my arms
