Compare Thee To A Summer's day

 Compare thee to a summer’s day? 

No, my dear, you are a goddess of dismay. 

You are the bane of my heart, for you own it completely. 

You control my mind without a single effort, and for that you are my enemy. 

 

Thou art lovely and temperate? 

No, you are imperfect and cold

Premium MemberThe Clash Of Sane And Bane

Beyond the hills, the storm,
oh, yellow queens they quake;
poor Autumn aspens feel
old weight of weakened leaves
the hostile winds will steal.

Beyond the hills the storm
it brews, like coffee black.
A bitter sky will fall
—dainty saintly sunlight 
a martyr for the squall…

Beyond the hills the storm,
My dreams in strobe-light flash.
Engage in shadow dance
the clash of sane and bane;
a

Your bane, no less than boon

To my moans, misfortune you gave,
And think, what a big boon you gave.

On my forehead you wrote great ruin,
And feel, immense fortune you gave.

Melodious scores to all too soon,
To me not but harsh tune you gave.

To all silver of a full moon,
To me nights of new moon you gave.

A caterpillar in cocoon,
T’me, no butterfly boon

Argh the bane of daylight savings time November 3rd 2024

Argh... the bane of daylight savings time – November 3rd 2024

Hour hands clock back
sixty minutes of Autumn
round about same of month
every year, what a bummer,
an inconvenient truth
diverged from this chum
purposelessly manipulating
hold over yesteryear doth drum
sensation of jet lag
(an inconvenient truth

with earth in the balance)
as if flying within time machine
at warp speed from
this station, where
bumpy ride

Premium MemberThe Rot of the Republic

Listen up, 'cause I'm about to spit some truth
About a disease that's eating our society from the root
Corruption, the silent killer, the thief in the night
Stealing our future, our justice, our right

Bribes exchanging hands, backdoor deals in the dark
While the common folk struggle, just trying to make their mark
Services meant for all, now reserved for

If Bane of Joys be to get Blase

Joy of pleasure, a child of poor parents,
Bliss alone founts from a perpetual spring,
Joy fancies scores of fond uncles and aunts, 
Never lasts long the song they choose to sing.
Being a moth made of mere moments nigh,
It sleeps all day, to wake in glare of night,
O Bliss, thou art a dancing butterfly
That spreads its beauteous

The bane of my existence and the object of my desire

"You're the Bane of my existence and the object of my desire", I could never tell you that, these words could describe what I feel for you but only incorrectly. You could never be the Bane of my existence, because I feel blessed to have known you, I feel honoured to have had the great

The bane of a cold sore inside my mouth

The bane of a cold sore inside my mouth

Sent my smooching life south,
whereby I felt like poor Georgie Porgie,
pudding and pie,
who kissed the girls and made them cry.

The medical term for cold sores,
Herpes Labialis, refers
to the Herpes virus Type 1 (HSV-1)
that most often causes these sores,
though Herpes virus Type 2 (HSV-2)
less often can also be

In the End, My Bane

You were so okay, but I was in misery
for me it was love, for you, seemed philanthropy
I needed a lover's bind, but you craved the freedom lane
all your selfish philosophy, in the end, was my bane.

The Bane

during battle, as swords swing
in mist of time three witches sing
Thane of Cawdor and then king
shall this be solace that they bring

instead a bane upon him is revealed
no kin descendants will he yield
another's son to be the crowns shield
and in this then his fate is sealed

Cawdor comes by a king's good grace
the prophecies he doth

Prejudice

Slime is a subtle stage for blame I can’t stay stuck to your ways/
I’m a little vague so your game I’ll ante up to plague/
While a tirade goes for their bane they played and waged/
I’ll abrogate woes to lurk away more straight/
Compile and appropriate foe’s to contain your plate/
The trial of a pirate goes on

Bane of Dyschezia

Bane of dyschezia

Constipation spoilt rare visit
with eldest daughter
(yesterday - November twenty sixth
two thousand twenty two)
currently housed near
Rittenhouse Square, Pennsylvania.

Less than twelve hours
after a cocktail comprising
handful of prunes,
four psyllium husk capsules,
plus three dulcolax.

Myself and missis
privy to meet our grand kittens
(tortoiseshell synonymous tabby cats
patterned with small blotches of white
referred to as "tortico,"
a portmanteau
of "tortie" and "calico."

We immensely

Bane

Brace yourself 
For in this world of grief 
That harbors the venom of deceit 
Even a blade of grass could slit

More so with a stone and whip 
So be careful not to slip
For the judgment of the bigoted 
Is as harsh as the prejudiced 

The may assail you with their bane 
You may not even

The Bane of the Cancered Soul

There is no god in England
(I learned of that this day)
For when a man is stricken
He has no more to say.
He lies in expectation,
The end to shortly be,
Torment is blindly gazing out
Through eyes that barely see.

The blaze within his body
Radiates, and yet,
The chilling of his very soul
Allows him to forget.
With sonance all around him,
The sobbing
