"Vicissitudes into Light"



You are another world
away from me
stretching far from 
his insanity

Diving into a new 
Light 
Dimensions that 
are the truest You

From the dark deep 
Ocean of sinking blue
Reach on the wave
in my wake 
I gift to You

You are stronger
than all of his 
bluest blues
broken...

Premium Member Vicissitudes of Spring
Raindrops sprinkle spent dogwood petals on the lawn 
While tiny bluebirds perch in nearby mulberry, stalling, 
Awaiting the drizzle’s end, fussing at a week-old fawn 
Who grazes unaware sharp crystal droplets are falling, 
Raining down like tiny sharp fragments of shrapnel. 
Afternoon planting, too, must...

Vicissitudes Of A Rambling Life Once Lived 

I have walked this earth, too oft dying of thirst
through and within vast herds of men, vast pools of stain
bearing melancholy blues, heart about to burst,
chasing elusive treasures, seeing ghosts once slain
master of nothing, seeking that bright, golden...

Premium Member The Vicissitudes of Modern Air Travel
I relax and sip my martini cruising at 40000 feet.

If only my bags arrive with me, all will be complete

I arrive in Tokyo and watch the carousel go 'round and 'round.

Although it made many circuits, my luggage could not be found!

Here I sit forlorn in...

Premium Member Vicissitudes and Succor
Are My Words So Foreign Or Obtuse 
That You May Not, Within Them, See Truth? 
That We Live Together Within, 
While Without We Share, What May One Day, 
Become A Common View; 
A Mutual Love Born Beyond The Forming 
Of All Words. 
A View We...

Personal Vicissitudes Pronounced Irrepressible Self Loathing
Personal vicissitudes pronounced irrepressible self loathing

Ever since mine late boyhood
when unstoppable coded 
cellular processes did segue
I experienced abhorrence
toward yours truly,
an extremely introverted kid,
whose parents nor siblings
(one younger and older sister) could
not arouse him 

out of his emotional torpor 
(even enlisting powers of druid)
akin being on...

Premium Member Facing the Stroming Vicissitudes of Nation Building
Standing at the bow of the rugged ship,
Blistering tears cue up in the wrinkles
Of faces worn weary with anguish;
Uncertainty becoming a bleeding wound.

The raging storm swells with tormenting waves
Splashing on the shores of human dignity and honor;
Leaving the despotism of doubt and fettering fear
Frothing in...

Quiet Vicissitudes
Quiet vicissitudes on a lonely shore. 

Memories fading with age as the family home crumbles.

It sits alone, abandoned, on it's now private island as the ocean continually encroaches with time.

Nothing left but photographs to prove to the world it was here as a storm crashes...

The Vicissitudes
My dearest friend,you have left me
standing all alone
My body is numb with sorrow 
I have no way to home.
 
I am depressed and even frightened
because you made such a bad decision
But nonetheless  you left me,
without caring about my condition.
 
Our friendship was like a...

Traumatizing Wrenching Psychological Vicissitudes
Affliction with comprehension,
now plain as day
predisposition to experience
(particularly abstract) cognitive
acquisition assailed at bay

posits me to suspect mental
deficiency within gray
matter of yours truly, whose
academic track record lay
in abyssal ruins, and

as three score orbitz round
the sun, yours truly doth pay
a hefty emotional price oy vey,
the voluminous, onerous,
horrendous,...

Premium Member Throw the Word Vicissitudes Back To Tennessee
An evil warlock changed my vicissitudes on this horrible mean day.
It only took seconds, but he took all my power and confidence away.
I went from a woman to a purple dragon with red stripes you see.
He was in cahoots with an ogre who has always...

From the Vicissitudes
Does the dead not walk?
I woke up in the middle of last night drained,
In my castle built in the stark blank,
I was like the vulture beaten by wild rain storm.
Does the dead not walk?
The fragrance which pefumed from my body was alluring,
But it stunk on...

Premium Member I was born there
I was born in the odds, 
I lived through it,
dotted the lines on my path
I was born among hyenas, 
these scrambling to stiffen the last breath, 
Amidst hurts and hate first from home,

A lot cast in mirage and fantasies,
Hope too soon cut short,
Survival, a struggle,...
