Reflections of the Past Visions of the Future

...No of lines: 48; No of words: 397

                       Reflections of the Past, Visions of the Future

                         My mind brims with a string of reflections
                    ...

...

That echoes with nothing deemed stellar
No single idea to embrace
Profundity gone, it seems forever.

When chaos of life has intruded

When Sheep Play Poker

..."A straight!  Two-three, five-six and eight,"
but Mildred bleated, "Ain't no straight;
you, Alice-ewe, are one dumb rump."
Bright chortles burbled round the stump
till Jingles raised, "Two straws...

...A Bright Sunday morning,
Brooded up with melancholic sparrows,
Dull and dusted eyes,
Drowning dread for destiny,
Captivating cameras on side,
Clowns of artistic caterpillars,
Madness of molten ...

Best Blessing

...Facing any criticism,
Like crude barbarism, 
Had been true terror for me,
Stung my heart like jungly honey-bee...!

Ah the Realisation

Lifeline

...she filled her lungs with air and insanity,
her heart grappling for mercy against her chest,
growing weary from a dissociating tyrant,
her mind running laps to every nerve synapse,

A Dark Heart

...Vortice violet.

A shoddy glow of dull light on shadow.

Shine might on ebon canvas.

Convoluted

...11/22/21

This is sad, it makes me sigh
Why try to lie?
My guy I spy
That there's more to life

The king brooded day and night
