Best Letup Poems

10 years

Had happy Mornings...but once in awhile...so do mournings...
Making the most...still sometimes...at a lost...
One moment overjoyed...the next...feeling the void...
Wiping out fears...yet often, can't control the tears...
One day face the world bravely...then later feel weary...
Trying so hard...pretending not to be scarred...
Without you by our side...we thought...

Passion progresses through thoughts of your cerulean eyes
Your name brushes like silk wind through my sapphire skies
Echoes distant across aegean waters burn flames of desire
Striking with the force of midnight lightning blazing my fire

The tickle of your periwinkle tipped fingers charges me up
Fierce as rains...

Close on the leatherneck well booted, high healed stormy, clip clop,
sans well fashioned faux shod Harvey didst stomp with heavy drop
ping like a furious ogre, and before classes even started 
   this early September 2017 nature maid maelstrom bid adieu 
  ...

I remember when you stood at the door
You said that I was someone you'd deplore
I pleaded and begged for you to turn around
You said our love would never rebound
I cried
I told you that I lied
She was a one night stand
Nothing was preplanned
We kissed
Her kisses were...

Botched and bungled interpersonal opportunities viewed...
(summarily iterated June 30th, 2020)

I share the following lines
with utmost delight
courtesy 20/20 hindsight
June twenty ninth
two thousand and twenty

corrigible, fallible,
and intelligible light
hearted fella (aging
baby boomer) usually polite
doth not trend toward
superficial nor trite.

Ostrich with wordplay
(mine metaphorical putty) enjoys
shape shifting rules
of English language

Vitriolic scathing psychological malevolent jujitsu
cruelly, fiendishly, incriminating
lambasting opprobrium rue
teenly dished out to yours truly

mechanically engineered hatred to stew
when passive aggression fostered corked,
where self destruction grew
tens of decades ago, when this then
much younger match chew

Scott doubted, hesitated, lollygagged...,
where in solitary confinement he brew
toxic shocking rancor towards...

The Way To Dusty Death

By Elton Camp

To guard every word isn’t good enough
The angry, abuse words strike like clubs

Why do YOU keeping doing this way!
The shrill, accusing voice demands

He didn’t know he was doing anything
Except sitting quietly, afraid to speak

Still, the tirade continues without letup
He...

DESCENT

As water flows down, so do I
No wishes now to be on high
With less ambrosia to sup
I am content to just look up

From high to low, no hiatus
Released from this Godlike status
Down here holding a buttercup
I am content to just look up

No more those dizzy...

Simply Breathtaking 

Upon its advent
done ... it came and went
so characterless
this working process
from depths, we inhale
therefrom, we exhale
breath names this function
to be ... its junction
          ~~breath
relieved sigh ... expire

Infinite pitch black void zooms,
I vacillate to pitch headlong (head over heels)
where freedom looms
large (think) cosmic size grand canyon grooms
espouses, and cloisters unbridled wedded bliss
structured sound of silence booms.

Dawdling against inevitable fate
temporarily holds in check (mate)
eternal salvation woebegone
grievance to ameliorate
repurposed conscious being (me)

sanguine reunion ridding...

tonight October  25th, 2022 
terrifically summarily requoting 

poetic outdated iteration,
I share the following lines
echoing in the valley 
of love and delight.

October twenty fifth

admirable, corrigible, fallible,
and intelligible light

gracefully aging
baby boomer) usually...

Neither family nor scant friends twill mourn
severance outlook linkedin inextricably forlorn
accursed psychological agony since I got born
incessantly pilloried courtesy bullies hood scorn,
yours truly convenient scapegoat raked over hot coals
preferable versus insidious,
malicious, nefarious, opprobrious

querulous, ridiculous, salacious...
suffering post traumatic stress disorder wartorn
invisible battle scars branded me, yet...

In the tranquil aura of a tropical clime
An idyllic scene, serene, pacific, sublime,
As paradisal souls basked in gold auspicious.
In peace, placid, prosperous, and prodigious.

There stands a sedate, an ethereal being.
It's a serene, glad coping; the knot is untying.
Gone are the times of...
