Ineffable Hosiery

Like a stalking hoarse,

Have endured shrewd days and night,

Like the physician ampoule,

Ready on my skin to pour.

flights from ignorance left these 

Strawberry marks,

Eyes glued on the object
 
compelled to the hard brown wooden logs  in art,

And the iron in room "G02".

Friends and enemies unrelenting 

awaits  enticement,

numberless distraction as obstacles on my path,  

beckoning to the banquet of misery, 

as this dangling reputation slowly pace along undeterred. 

ego gangs gauged and chokes to loose the prize  

avalanche of invisible darts piercing from home and abroad, 

but I, a pretty piece of flesh,

Stand aloof to watch a drama

With the ointments of the supreme being 

Within my bowels,

Those that see the seals, demand the cause,
Of quietude in this world of madness. 

As I stood aloof to watch the wretch mirth turns to mourn

Ah weary watcher, like you, I am a mere voyager,  

on the  route where the delight of the peasantry

Is wept into oblivion

There are dangerous curves 

As we advance,

there are dangling arrows, 

The old serpent is not dead, 

he hides in ambuscades

The road becomes deeper and deeper,

The shades of the precipices fall bleaker and bleaker.

The clouds gather overhead,

Doleful voices

The way hardly discernible in this  gloom

The path is  dreary,

our feet too often  wobble,

Heart ambushed by fiercest lust,

Yet, Firm stand I. 

Not in my natural element
