Sulfuric dew sonatas, rustling in a bobby reek
Vermillion of umbra and debased conundrums
Rosemary pulp extracted from the pulpy bosom.
wilting amid the cranberry tackle
blubbering irises with a tinge of snow
Crimson lava that has solidified.
painted with the scent of murdered love
No longer a viable supplement; prohibited.
Lilith's spells were drenched in blood hype.
In crisp dears, a neolithic Pandora box shivers.
It drizzled a steely dolefulness across my core.

In stillness of gazes,
the eyes behold the empty nest
of a beautiful birdie.
stripped of all she is and represents,
the beautiful birdie hovers
fragile and broken to blight.
cloaked in the depth of despair,
tears stream down her face
in this drought of dolefulness.
still,she hovers round its nest,
awaiting the whispers of hope
in the wind.

Bright sunshine magnifies our happiness
with rays that spread a glow on all we see.
It has a way of dulling dreariness
and blocking thoughts of glum reality.
Our minds are soothed with the euphoria
instilled from sun-splashed skies and golden views
that numb all negative dysphoria
as highs from sunny rays to minds infuse.
A precious gift, this sunshine we enjoy:
its mighty power helps all nature grow;
but added too, a psychedelic ploy
to keep us balanced through our ebb and flow.
To help reduce our swings to dolefulness-
Bright sunshine magnifies our happiness.

We were back to back, my fortress my solid wall
But then you stood up and left me cold,
How the world turned grey, the moment time stood still
The hourglass kept flowing, I couldnt turn back the clock,
Life went on, there wasnt a glimmer of rememberance,
The sweet melody of our heaets, disapperead to the morning zyphr
The wind gradually coursed through my airtight heart,
Trying to no avail to breath life into the empty spaces,
My soul fire dwindled and died, like a crescendo of white noise ,avalanches of dolefulness came crashing down on my senses
I was left numb, submerged in a roaring river of wreckage
Marooed at sea, my tears wouldnt stop flowing
The rain God hated my cries of grief and joined in my wailing heart,
Each deluge tried to wash away the pain but to nought effect
Instead my heart got carried away with the tide
Free falling into a vortex of precarious security,
I landed smack hard on the gravity, the wind blowing through something that I once called HEART.
A life I once treasured, a moment that evaporated too soon.

The Patient Pantaloon
Nick Rush
With your dangling bells, and your trepid smile, your harlequin eyes, burn like coal
With your windy heart, and your unguided fate, beyond sheer truth, lies a lost riddle
With your sunshine oozing through your tempest mask, boulders on both shoulders
WIth your silhouette pressing from your feet to the floor, much colder each day older
With your enchanted soul, and your abstract sight, blocked by shadows, due to rue
With your tangled thoughts, and your addled love, dolefulness heavy, que the blues
With that said you live to fight another day, or fight to live, which way will you sway?
With the glass half empty, still you can sip, imagine there is nothing, not even a drip.

Preposterous melody won't exist,
Inside a piano without the chord's beat
Aubade is formed when dolefulness emits
Nails the body to where she always sits;
Ordering her fingers to start a writ.
Corners her world with piano as a friend
Heaves fro the melancholia life has sent
Obsolete in the past yet still remains
Rest in the hands of the hellion of dents
Deceiving the chords life composed to mend
Carted away from the womb of thy mom,
Dispatched to fosters as a surly wan
Ego disappears to the children's scrum
For years she can't find her ruined life's sum
Guided and loved with the help of the rank
An afflatus for three hearts to collide
But deep beneath, she had always been mock
Called in by her fosters as out of luck
Door to door, she lagged capitulated
Reminds herself the poem she narrated
Misses the time her heart elevated
Falls for a man who's crossed-dressing blended
Solitude before but now chaperoned
Laminated by her man's trifle tone
Timbre has echoed when they broke the stone
Do you hear the sixteen chords of her song?

A chemical reaction, nothing more:
Mere hormones running rampant through our veins.
But, still, we focus on it and ignore
Whatever sense or logic that remains.
It causes pain and sorrow all around,
Regardless of the happiness once had.
When misery and dolefulness abound,
We still pursue the curse that makes us mad.
Delusion plagues our hearts, our minds betrayed.
And afterwards we certainly regret
The ignorant decisions that we made.
We swear that we are wiser now, and yet--
We never learn, and persevere to find
That once again, it's love that's left us blind.

Feelings can flood the soul
resulting in torrential downpours,
the tears like crashing waves
relieving the pressure,
cleansing the shores.
A brave face cannot always
dam the rising waters,
the vast reservoir
overflowing with dolefulness.
Peaceful surface waters
can cover tumultuous riptides.
Cathartic tears sometimes must fall
before the ardent feelings
of joy and contentment can return
with laughing eyes and smiling lips,
no longer hiding behind a glacial mask.
Learning to reconcile the yin and yang,
darkness and the light, ice and heat,
is the key to a harmonious existence.
We are all desperate for an amicable union
within ourselves,
a balance between the internal and external worlds.
God is the harmonious balance,
the peaceful waters,
and sometimes...tears must fall.
