Dainty drizzle drops of melted cloud alight
Descending as tumbling torrent of shower
In the deep darkness of the opaque night.
Blows of winds' wrath the squally sky devour
Refuses to waste away into oblivion in vain
Descending as a tumbling torrent of shower.
The youth of face sparkles with smile in rain
Cascades charisma as an ebullient stream
Refuses to waste away into oblivion in vain.
The moist face radiant with pearly gleam
Floats in the flowing time not for very long
Cascades charisma as an ebullient stream.
Heart pulsates with the melody of rain song
Mesmerizing the essence of youth awhile
Floats in the flowing time not for very long.
On the morose face of dissolved smile
Dainty drizzle drops of melted cloud alight
Mesmerizing the essence of youth awhile
In the deep darkness of the opaque night.

Snake cuts through the flames of judgement
Sigils become homogenized black.
Snake cuts through the flames of judgement
Sigils become homogenized
Back
Through the dread cesspool of filth
Filth defines what defiles
Nebuchadnezzar unlocks the key
The broken god may rest today
And forevermore.
For the One in Flesh is dead.

For what Baptism has left unsolved
Any Darwinian hope for the Newly Evolved?
There mustn’t be another vile scar
From a cheating on a flying car!
Vera should’ve the thing tried at some bar,
Just for her man, everywhere A Star,
To pursuers unreachable because far …
Yes, round The Scandalous had the thing revolved,
The subject not likely to be absolved,
Because of the inglorious lot involved
And an infuriating infidelity scarcely resolved…
A marriage to escape being dissolved

A stone cannot be dissolved
Hardly can be changed
But when encounter the same species
Will rub against to give off sparks
To set a fire
Birds of the same feathers flock together
Even a stonely heart has his friends
And loved ones
(Based on the story of a mother who did not believe that her soft-temper son is an aggressive robber. )

Dissolving
by M. Griswold
04282020
I don't understand her.
She doesn't understand me.
Without understanding
how can love be.
I want to show passion.
She laughs at me.
I want to be close
but she pushes away.
I want to love her fully.
She shuns me completely.
Who is this woman
whom I love whole heartedly?
I am confused in my commitment.
She is steadfast in herself only.
How is it possible to stay involved
when a relationship has all but dissolved.

So: Are you resolute to resolve to resolve to be resolute?
Or: Do your resolved resolutions devolve into dissolution?

A scientist tired of research
left science one night in the lab
to let it sleep for a while
in a test tube on the rack,
went happily home relieved,
inspired by the spring air spray
started writing poems next day.
The poems took geometric shapes
with stack of words arranged
as symbols of complex molecules
emanating like DNA strings
through a fissure of the mind
profoundly analytic and precise
methodically trained by science.
The words balanced sentences perfectly
and expressed the notion rationally
like the chemical reactions formulating
the idea poems wanted to prove
which surprised the poet in distress
because he thought he had left
science in the lab to sleep and rest.
Science had sleep-walked un-sighted
to his new work-place the poetry lab
poured chemicals on the deranged words
broke the displaced sentences to shards
and put the poems in acid soup,
returned to the test tube un-noticed
it dissolved in sleep and vanished.
The scientist lost his science in an instant
and the new poet his poetry nascent.
