Abrupt Silence
Here one day gone the next
I did not know you very well
You were always nice to me
Commonalities in passing
Sudden sadness in the clouds
The old heads respected you
Sadness in everyone’s heart
Grief in everyone’s eyes
Stillness in your energy gone
The type of sudden sadness
Which leaves you in shock
The type of sudden sadness
Which brings

Abrupt
Irkish the feeling impels
Impulsive of it's own action.
Disfigurely quenching,
And on it's feet it commands
A riot so clenching
Flinching the heart's
Utmost fibres none can comprehend.
"Xeno" it calls aloud
For it looks in it's shadows.
Perkish, yet Meek, and sleek
As it sneeks around alert for
It's next prey to be caged.

abrupt adjournment
I stay stationary, collapsed, in a room unlike mine
I stay bare, as I wait for my thoughts to align
the bloodied hand continues it's repetitive round
soon the dust in this chamber will have me drowned
my scaffolding will be unveiled before I accept
this isn't a hallucination because I overslept
I cry, I kick, I bite, I scream
I weep,

Bangladesh's abrupt regime change
The students couldn't wait
until the fat lady sung,
so some heaved rocks
while others slung dung..
Bonded by the beat from
an umbilical drum,
protesting in the streets
as one, Hashina's authoritarian regime
was overcome.

Abrupt Justice
Find xanthium' squeeze in a sigh
asking a righteous void, hear my entreat
hand to heart, in a beggar's sky
not just for myself,
not just for why...
Can a heart devoid of hope
seek to find salvation
from a Quentin Tarantino film
in a strange pulp voice
that sounded just like mine.
Your sin, my sins

Abrupt Ache
Acquainted ! Attracted ! I adore you, Hello Miss !
Beautiful bud of love bloomed in bliss.
Cheered ! Charmed ! Caring craving on your charisma.
Dedicated ! Drank dreamy desires drowning in dilemma.
Ecstatic emerald emotion in exciting endeavour.
Fantastic feelings flew

An Abrupt Change of Plans
This time last year, I couldn't wait
to see the brand new year. I had
well thought out plans. I was going
to start afresh and start anew.
I was going back to school and do
something that I always wanted
to do. My goal was to go back to
school and get into the healthcare
field.

An Abrupt Departure
When I first laid eyes on you time stood still,
you made me feel like love was possible.
Our instant connection was such a thrill,
I thought finding you was impossible
Prior to finding you, I kissed some frogs,
hoping that my prince would quickly appear.
You didn’t show, my besties were my two dogs,
when we first met love, I

An Abrupt Unexpected Good Bye
I cannot tell you I am not hurt
Because I am crucified.
Did you ever love me or was it all a lie?
I need a few seconds to get some control.
Was it the red-headed woman?
Or the blonde little troll?
Do not tell me you have moved on without anyone else
I am naïve, not crazy, not stupid.
Although now

Had Been Apparently Abrupt
Had Been Apparently Abrupt
Comments made were apparently abrupt,
And eventually things would soon erupt;
Break into,
Like they do;
When done by Trump had become corrupt.

So what should I be telling the new priest
about his parish?

An Abrupt Departure
I find myself at a cross road.
Which way should I go?
To my left is uncertainty.
To my right is a dead end.
So I'm stuck and I can't move.
I have no choice but to exit UP
My private jet is on the way
Goodbye my friends.

Abrupt
A stern face
A harsh place
A strange kind
A rough mind
A mad twist
A black list
A shrewd step
A lost map
A plus point
A sad joint
A late fad
A life mad
A last fling
A lost spring
A long way
A blown prey
A dead chance
A break dance

Abrupt
Excuse me if I appear to be abrupt
but I find your sensibilities and ethics corrupt,
a leader of people should be a visionary
scrupulously clean and who speaks with brevity,
not a person who seeks solely to divide
to make it easier to control all of the sides,
the manipulate and create forms of xenophobic hate
I see your actions as

Trump Approach Abrupt
Trump Approach Abrupt
Trump's approach is always rather abrupt;
Causes trouble and things likes to disrupt;
Hard to predict;
Makes you sick,
And came to collusion that he is corrupt.

Abrupt
Words that I cite
Move each bold write
In a sure flash
Forge a swift dash
Thought in sure plot
Hurls a clear lot
Abrupt this rhyme
Upon a time
Swirl of pure tact
Frames new word pact
Here with fond fit
Words cluster wit
Crisp frame of mind
New verge now finds
In a brisk flood
Pulse of warm blood
Words tell a lot
Beyond mere thought
