Opinion,
shapes the
aftermath
of what once was free
A commentary of
detainment,
adrift
—on a windless sea

Here I am
loafing away
like a king
on the roof
when princes
have gone to battle
petting his senses
on a naked eve's navel
I do no evil
though, but idleness is evil
I can't be there
'cause I have to work
But now I stare
at an empty chair
with no one to clerk
Lab coat
and steth'scope
taking coffee
My crew's performing
I'm here sulking,
angry at my joblessness
and restlessness
Even the rain is at work
catering, cleaning, making music
I sprawl on my table
like one that's lost a gamble
This is solitary confinement,
lockdown, detainment
Who knew today'd be like this?
So sickness takes public holidays
They go on stage
while I'm in this cage
The world applauds
I bow and nod
Who is taking my character? who's
replaced my role?
I need a counsellor, there's
war within my soul
Should I leave this silent bird
to go nurse a wailing whale?
To be or not to be
That is the question

I move through dark clouds in
search of the sun...the
everlasting LIGHT that is the
SUN...I hope that I can stand
the rain...better yet the
frightening STORM...the roaring
of the thunder...as fearful as it
may be...I remind myself to be
still...to be PATIENT...the light
is at the other end of this
"unpleasant weather"...I know
this much is true...dark and
cloudy with a chance of
HOPE...I stand firmly never to
be withered...by the
WEATHER...

I lost my mien I lost my unity
To the shadow of tartarus
Abided by the doom of iniquity
To the horde of vicious
Ached by the blamed chastity
To the blood of befouled gravitas.
I lost my alias I lost my faith
To the detainment of my goof
Abetted by the aphotic myth
To the trait lacked in proof
Copped by the dummy world so lyth
To the wraiths of swallowed truth.
I lost my anima I lost my chaste
To the roguish sprite
Plied by paroles jest
To the hearsays that parroted bright
Retained by the sight lest
Where I lost my being I lost ardor ignite.

Virgin breezes sweep through our distant white curtains
A cluster of candles lit our shadows silhouetting two
Purposeful detainment-
Soft conjoined lips breathe warmth throughout our bodies
Lovers are we spilling fever into each others eyes
Tepid souls gently flow ribbons of pleasure
Familiar aromas and tastes hang in mouths
Carry me weak into the light of your love
Forever-restless abiding love drenched in eagerness
Rapture, devotion, intimately in the arms of ivy needing
Moments turn to hours of a spell building
Lets ride into the unknown and never turn back
Standing still in love
Never turning away.
Capture us in a bubble floating in the seas of time
Seahorses bow, fairies sparkling dust departing violet streams of what we grew
Inspired by John Heck's love contest!
