Greedy morning

The airstreams’ clout breeds on catching stiffed breathing,
Life goes by a chance and the chance is unspoken.
And shadows kowtow stripping stellar light’s sheathing,
horizon’s concealed, but its seal – slightly broken.

The taste of the morning lost tartness for briskness,
still pleasantly zestful and classic in coffee.
So moments check smudges of dimness for weakness,
like two little eyes caught with sneaking on toffees.

The clouds’ lingerie’s laid to whitish its colors.
Rays spread and an eye finds dispersals erotic.
Bold minds are submerged in awakening. Dollars
soak badly in greed spiking new semiotics.

Hi Venkat,

I am glad you liked it. Our greed could play a good role in our lives. It is not specifically negative property of humankind (like a greed for knowledge).
Another day – another way to say – how unique it is.
Thank you,
Iouri
