Fool on the loose and fools are sold,
sold with this new breed of chatter.
Chatter set to charm and dissolve
dissolve minds to showcase the fool.
Fool, why aren’t you able to see,
see sense divagate the building?
Building this distorted headspace,
headspace that’s a playground to fool.
Pretenders

At birth God gave each, a soul and a voice,
but when it comes to voice, we divagate.
How we see it's use HE has made our choice,
some make bad choices, or equivocate.
In today’s climate many voice their whines,
causing division while dispensing pain.
Completely ignoring God’s set guidelines,
as great pretenders too often we feign.
Psalm 160:6
“Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD.”
Woke up to your possessor calling.
Vehement jealousy interrogating
A confrontation been expecting.
Bit my tongue.
Hesitate injecting.
Why? What was wrong?
Her complacency in the way
Toxic courtship to prolong
My indecency
A tiresome cliché
Not the first one, to sing this song
Or the last, malignancy
She passed through my gray
Shining white Human grace
Divine light
Abolished latency
Blood, time and space
Will make things right
Unfed appetite
Plight of Exigency
END.

Inspired write. No further explanation.
By J.R. Thornton
An applaud in negative
In writing or voluble,
Appreciate one must
To further spring up,
A poetic grand slam !
Sarcastic comments
Take digs at you,
Aggressive remarks
The missiles,
To drop you dead !
Throwing a frisbee
Beyond reproach,
Reprimand,
Rebellion,
Give or do battle !
A censure,
Although Depreciates ,
Distresses and Disheartens,
Repel depression,
Essentiates introspection !
Be factualistic,
Don't divagate,
Be dianoetic,
Argue and analyse,
Put on a thinking cap !

On 30/5/14
a touch that was familiar
a virtual paradise
how many ways you've known me
before beginning to think twice
your voice once sang a love song
the music sweet and low
the whispers of suggestion
it seems now long ago
looking back and wondering
when did it all go wrong
one minute you were with me
I blinked and you were gone
now you sing a new song
the lyrics much the same
the chords you're playing different
as you sing the same refrain
in the ebony recesses
the shadows of your night
do your thoughts divagate toward me
while she lays by your side
