Chapter 14c

Warriors of mighty stature
Armed with blades of shining metal
Fire-wrought bronze, a work of wonder,
Walked beside a bright-robed figure

Slight of build and short in stature 
Whitening hair around his temples 
Now the warriors introduced him
As “King Ptolemy the Second”
 
Piercing eyes alive with wisdom
Held Han’s...

The dirt and stones around his feet
Encrust the child’s skin
With tears creating smears of pain 
Upon his fragile chin

He looks and begs for scraps of food
From every passer by
But they don’t see the small still child
His hand a reaching cry

For those who do not hear...

Recalling time when I,
Used to believe LOVE was 
A phantasmal power.
Conquerable of every
Possible obstacle,
That would always sustain
Unquestionably.
										
Experiencing more 
Than my fair share of 
Disappointments and 
Failed relationships, 
Encrust bitterness.

Questioning love
And uncertain 
Of everything 
That’s meaningful.

Look to faith, 
Searching My 
Own beliefs.

You are
With me

Still....

laying supine in the miasma of my own abominable waste
my exposed spoor and stench,now, others can taste
sweat, grime and shame encrust my mottled skin
food and drink love to lurk in the wrinkly folds under my chin
my hands tremble,like shaken by an earthquake
can't even hold a...

All classic, modem's counterpart,
the focus of forgiveness heart
were in the trial of homeless mart
the scattered soul, the refuged cart!

Entrepreneur, the village smart
all ideal, but for love's depart,
the greatest thought, no gain's consort,
who gather on in foolish sport!

With somber no-destruction thrust
my spirit's wander, now adjust,
and so...

Soulful, refracted replies
Strike the sun; reflect in my eyes
The layers of pain punished within
Judgement ends, just to begin

Cycle through the spiralling keys
Unlock the doors that tragedy needs
Watch the world gather in force
The mirror’s arms reach for my cause

Held too close, by aching demand
Fickle lies become...

I’ve often heard it said

elders have empty heads

where cobwebs

encrust each corner

and memories sit

gathering dust

 


But….

 

If you take the time

to sit and listen well

those crusted corners

with memory jewels

will glean for you

wisdom’s lust...

Like the salt sting in an open wound
the colors encrust, excrete, move.
Boneless, bloodless, consumed insanity in bloom;
Munch’s “Scream” fills the room.

Undulating gore explored.
Heartache reeks from every pore,
Like the salt sting in an oozing wound
Munch’s nightmare blues fill the gloom.

All humanities abates
such torment at Fates gate....

Autonomy thus selflessness,
Propagating within my independent self,
Drenching my soul with ignorance
Of wisdom, for the outside world
Is not sought…
Identifying myself, as
I encrust myself amid my shadow…...

A wishing star of bright encrust upon the sable night, 
Divesting of itself a glorious blue and silvered light, 
Reflection on the optic lens, the surface human eye, 
Ingestion in the begging brain from out a dreaming sky. 
To scatter in the latent cell, some...

Hydration day’s a month away.
Online belonging company’s an hour from 
startup stardom. Titration hors-d'oeuvre 
Viewfinder pigeonholed 
to rooftop tourist 
traps ruin’d carriage holy woods 
Hollywood's margins, Carousel 13. 
Things You’ll Bury:
