Acquiescence Ca

When Alex was tasked to pen eight straight A’s for an animate cause

He adjusted the angle arched forth in awe and anticipated attunement 

Ached with attrition and attributed an array afore attaching amends

                                     ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Please do not absolve me from my shortcomings misgivings and sins

Torturous anguish needs the suffering of suffering to light a candle

Of hope to assuage waxen heartbreak and all-consuming darkness

The allure of kindling a fire to burn unpleasant memories and gloom

Auspicious temptation to bury the past under a cover of dusty deceit

Amounts to nothing but awry dis-balance on a false screen of imposture

When understandable appetency promises fake lightness and ease

Remember that self-denial is far more atrocious than dealing with pain

                                     ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Assignments had never appealed without accompaniment of adroitness

Alex felt an ambitious affectation arising in aplomb to alleviate anxiety

‘Angst anger aberration abhorrence’ he appraised an arbitrary approach

‘Abuse addiction archaic arbitration apparition’ appealed its approval

‘Anhedonia analgesia anathema alluvium’ availed an asylum for absentia 

‘Bemusedly boring’ he bellowed in bewildered bondage to belligerence

A barrage of baggage beckoned for the bragging breakaway bastard

Before he was befallen by braggadocious banter and blacked out appeased

Contorted dreams echoed devilish frustration garrotting the . . .yodelling zombie
