Best Make Bold Poems

My life spirals ever downward...
The grave taunts me with its laugh.
Death's bony fingers are affixed my throat
As the jester of my unmerited epitaph.

My angst at my ever-flounder appears
Well-earned and justly placed
Where the rabid minions of an avenging God
Will no doubt make bold of my disgrace.

A child lights our way in life...
The greatest gift there is to be.
They suppress our selfish inclinations...
They set our passions free.

They give sense to our mortality.
They put narcissism in its place.
With a child... you're a family
To mark your time and space.

There's nothing more unsettling
Than those...

Madness stirs their passions...
Such dregs have stacked the deck.
Ideas resurrected from the dustbin
Of History... make bold their disrespect.
Ideologies of egotists and lunatics
Prey now upon the weak.
They salivate their malcontent...
It is wry carnage that they seek.
Devoid of humility and prudence...
Learning nothing of the past.
If we fail...

Be not soft upon the morrow
For the maliciousness it contrives.
The future beckons unending sorrow
To gamely catch the vulture's eye.

'Tis the destiny of mice and men
To be laid waste by nature's curse.
Where foolishness belied of ink and pen
Will by the margins burst.

Persist not in vacuous dreaming
To...

I care not a fat hairy fig
For your task to decimate
And predicate my world
With such villainy and hate.

You evaporate the sunshine.
You bring nigh the distant gloom.
Like a pestiferous browsing parasite
Intent on some impending doom.

Crawl! Crawl away from sight...
I reject all you say and do. Find
Another...

My views are trenchant and modest.
My thoughts as clear as day.
I marvel at the things I know
While ignoring much what others say.
You must now follow my direction
And blindly accept all I have in store
Where your most cherished held beliefs
Will not bother you no more.

You will...

Frank and Nada went together like pina-colada
Each half had dreams and brought laughs
He’d open doors and make real sure
That his Nada; he would truly care for.
He also had family from before
They cared for him.  He for them. That
Can’t be ignored.  Well Frank got...

That's not how the World Works
                     67.

I acknowledge your sacred mutterings
And the enthusiasm on which they gnaw.
But your argument seems fallacious
And for me... that be...

My jealousy broods a colored hue
Awash in love's torment
As I feed the green-eyed-monster
To make bold such discontent.

Happiness holds no measure
In a world past its prime.
I will smell no summer roses.
I will drink no summer wine.

I ignore my many blessings
As obsession demands a sacrifice.
I mourn not...

Would the Universe permit a small
Discretion... as I lie here cold and grey?
Knowing it be well within its powers...
To grant me one more day.
What would I do with such a boon
To make an Angel beam with pride?
Would I manage some small triumph
Before I finally up...

The Rabbit Hole

Sometimes... a rabbit hole
Is just a rabbit hole...
With nothing much to see.
No treasure trove to fondle...
No Earthly mystery.

Fear not my weary traveler...
Be veracious in your role.
There's happenstance aplenty
To titillate a fearless soul.

          The End

Before I challenge Heaven.
Before I acquiesce to my demise.
Draw near and let me look at you
Before I close my eyes.

Before the Reaper comes a calling
Offering his pantheon of death...
May the cherished words 'I love you'
Release my final breath.

       ...

Like a thunderbolt from mystery 
well
With full consciousness of 
Nature
As planned and re planned
Behold! A shoot of SOMETHING
Arose from the well base.

The thing was woken into 
consciousness
But hardly did it discover
But guided by the Supreme 
Intelligence
And thoughts; and experiences
There arose the feeling of Being.

But to...

The showers of May
Will rain all day
Grief is a way 
That helps you 
Set aside old fears

The heat of August 
Has all but bought us
Your eyes will shine 
Love... Hate intertwines 

The cold of October 
Will make bold colder 
The sound of despair 
Is your...

Where has it gone? I had it thus...
To make bold a troubled mind.
For as you see... it's up to me
To keep the dregs in line.

I feel naked with its absence...
Unsure how to bear the cost.
Beset with want and worry...
I search for what is lost.

I peered...
