Acquiescence

They came in the quiet of the wee hours
before the light was born

Unaware I slept like the dead
While my youth from me was torn

First I lost a sparkle or two
And faded ever so slight

Time bandits about me
Lining my face without fight

Thank God I never was about my looks
An investment  I knew sure to fail

Forth Vaccination Boosts Acquiescence Toward Mortality Part Uno

I revised a poem written 
January twenty second
last year – two thousand twenty one
regarding gratitude for Medicare 
Insurance to foot the bill
concerning ability to heal
courtesy immune system 
undergoing toe till agency 
or closest approximation thereof   
impossible mission to undergo
one hundred percent protection
against contracting deadly illness,
viz latest epidemic impacting civilization.

Forth Vaccination Boosts Acquiescence Toward Mortality Part Deux

shuttering fright housed inside
in one poof annihilating prejudice
(white privilege included) and pride
reducing to ashes trumpeting
self importance, where snide
persona grata becomes irrelevant
as does living social
or vacationing in Telluride.

Interestingly enough,
I do not entertain notions
inflicting self harm nor suicide,
but expect longevity (to ride
one after another orbitz around the sun)

minimum total (represented courtesy
value units and tens place)
equaling the largest

Acquiescence Begets Hegemony

Acquiescence begets hegemony...

Think Putin whose forename
Vladimir translates as great power,
whose singular minded aim
after lobbing bombs into
second-largest country
by area in Europe after Russia
incurring voodoo spells
foisted upon president of Ukraine
forced neophyte politician
Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy
to buckle and cower.

Meanwhile many another leader
cherishing their slice of freedom
quakes in their boots
dumbfounded, horrified, tight lipped
as Russian bird of prey
swoops down analogous as

The Whisper of the Cannon

When all the words a king may say
Lay lifeless on the ground
And windstorms blow them far away
With not a single sound.
Then no one any worry pays
As acquiescence he seeks
But ears awake and eyebrows raise
When e'er the cannon speaks.

She speaks to warriors from the east
And armies from the south.
And words of wisdom should, at least,
Fall tumbling

Acquiescence of Levity Inclinations

Shall we acquiesce to mornings first glow in flight
To the flags of yellow golden daffodils lined in a row
Flowing over mothers’ soft hills on new born grass
Like tiny soldiers at attention on the milky dawn

Elsewhere over the marbled planet surface blue
Where baby dolphins jump from the womb
From their home of salted liquid depths
Only to land

Acquiescence Toward Mortality

Management here at
Highland Manor Apartments sent out word
that tomorrow, January twenty third,
two thousand and twenty one,
we (all residents) will receive the first (of two)
inoculations to stave off getting COVID-19,
hence mine poetic title might seem absurd.

Aforementioned stance toward death
obviously antithetical
regarding desire to stay alive
and most oppressive
when mine mental, physical
and/or spiritual yours truly
takes a (swan) dive

Acquiescence

'I think I know why the ocean flows'


When I watch the tides send spume and surf onto the poets' swaying shore

Caress the silken sand embrace high waters so quietly or with almighty roar

As tangled seaweed massages my anxious sun burnt skin and longing wishes

Gloom dissipates along with anxious fear that harbours tears of moody swishes


Backwards

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

Acquiescence




For want of acquiescence of passion
the anxious soul writhes and meanders aghast ...

ACQUIESCENCE

Late March
It’s depressing
Dirty snow and windy
A scrap of paper tatters by
And wrinkles itself around a tree trunk
The sky is overcast    but still
All hangs in time    stagnate
One gazes out
Resigned


This form must have a name, but I don't know what it is -

The Acquiescence

Am I not man to stand the pain?
Open up the gates of torture!
Endless flames may burn my flesh,
may in my soul be a real scorcher!
I will endure the hurting ache!
So tear away the scurf of scars
- unhealed deep wounds in my own heart
engraved like deadly memoirs.

Oh like a fool I longed to see
what couldn’t last,
