The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.

Sole Languish Not
Bestow him the means to bloom
Set free his captive heart,
From the dangers of wilt
From the perils of guilt,
Hardened heart traps,
Rotted soul snares
Troubled eye glares
He shall believe in your beauty
Setting fires to your infinity 
He toils and turns to you

Bestow her the means to bloom
Prove to...

“Three, 300, or 3,000 - these are the number of unknown days, each far too little and yet too much at the same time, to see an irrevocably declined loved one languish and suffer, with that bittersweet release lingering in the doorway, but never quite...

I Will Languish
My heart has these many dwellings
such dead cold cautionary tales
long disregarded and condemned.

And then there is this secret palace
eclipsing all true loves desolation
where deep resides your essence.

A rapture of all your many graces
this mansion of your many riches
this residence of many memories.

And then there is...

Weary worn;
Full of scorn,
Not achieving what I can accomplish.

Like To Languish
Association with some people I did annul
After trying to get through their thick skull
What my each poem was meant to be
My thoughts understood by you and me.

Things should always be simple and plain
When you are standing out in the rain
If you fool around for a...

In languish sleep, so went her fate
through loveless marriage, mired in hate.
Soft-spoken words that now chastise
his world, of stranger’s scents and spies;
gold, traded for some silverplate.

Just once forbidden fruit she ate
her endless strangled passions sate
she made this bed on which she lies
in languish sleep.

Suspicions she...
