A Hearing Chased
By Frank Daub
When Affirmation is sought by pen,
then
Appreciative voices ought
To be accumulated -- by thoughtful
listening.
But approval is hard to come by.
Putting words in the proper space
Eradicates the message
Of the sender’s assumed face.
Once read, appreciated --
then turned leaden.
The sender tries another voice.
Stillness, thoughts depreciated.
Not by sender’s choice.
Watch for the claws – beware
A pause
Of trying.
It would be better --
A silence kept –
A message fading, then dying.
Shattered mirror pieces
in a cold room -
filled with invisible battles
as the heart
searches for warmth
Numb eyes
deepening scratches.
As seconds pass by,
the urge to rest in peace grows,
but own soul refuses to surrender.
A golden light,
from a narrow crack
falling on those broken pieces
reflecting buried dreams,
rising, drifting across the room
like butterflies.
Reborn charm
eradicates the frozen wall,
filling the room
with charming colors of light
that were once lost.
Buck off a twenty; should twenty
buckshots mean nineteen too many?
Extinguished abruptly,
with Godspeed so mighty,
effortlessly shattered,
sending molars afar.
So far they say a
shard was found in
the neighbor's yard.
Found someone at the bar.
Didn't want to get in the car.
Pray tell, that didn't get far.
I arrive at the walkway;
I push past a pause, just
I can't stand until
standing right side up,
I saw this rerun show.
Chest cavity. Ghost town captivity
to gesture from behind,
telling, "They were scared."
Startled, so too are we.
Starting up again, approached
closer with a tender voice.
Damn! Blasted fantasy poaching,
encroaching as the situation
abused the determination. In
determination abused, saw
and became amused.
Morals annihilate as
fury eradicates saving grace.
Roof off mouth demonstrates a
desperate need to escape.
Erupting out, fountain snatch;
flung, streamers are strung
about—it's raining.
However, it had ended
before
any ringing got started.
Destroy the annoyance so
they
can bury a face,
not only a body.
At least...
Incandescent emotion
Spills and
Tumbles from pen to page
Iridescent love
Leaps gracefully
Like a gazelle from the
Lion's claws, as the safest
Oasis rises into
View.
Expectation of inspiration
Eradicates those dark emotions
Vividly transforming
Every
Rhyme.
Yet,
The world of things
Haunts the proposed
Innocence of these words.
No
Guilt
Will
Eclipse the bright
Sunshine of some of the
Happiest refreshing moments.
Alone with my thoughts, but still
Raptured and ever grateful for
Every beautiful spirit-filled
Drink to dissolve the driest darkness

Are we humans
Not to be mean honestly
We are not humans
How can be that
That that is why
We make
We destroy
We make again
We destroy again
This our self not so human
But we are humans
That's is true
We are humans
Who eradicates others lands and dwellings
Others blood is nothing to us
We love to devour on others agony
That is humans of us
We like to make others miserable and homeless
We like to make others hungry and destitutes
We like to make others to lose their loved ones
What cruel humans we are ?
This is the realm of destruction and creation at a same timeThis is what we humans are ?
We are humans!
We are humans !
Death
Your apparition eradicates our happiness.
You usually grip the most loved souls .
Our happiness fades within a blink of an eye.
While relatives are pounded in tears like a glinding river .
Look when it strikes in families with deficiency
And there is no one to implant.
Not knowing what to touch nor let.
It is unbearable even to utter explanations.
We are sinking for its power
Because its days are even sour
Painful choruses
Tearing apart our innocent hearts, not to say fearfulness.
Death , You demolish like a cyclone.
You let no peace .
Your apparition is vicious to our hearts .
Death , Where do you come from ? .

(Euthymia - meaning well, meaning soul or emotion. life energy; feelings and passions; desires and inclinations; and thought or intelligence)
Freedom from the internal narrative
Eradicates the majority of life's pain
The monkey mind - our thoughts
The sacred space our conflicts reign
The World just is
Perception - we create our own unique philosophy
Therefore; reality is contingent
On what we choose to believe
We say we want freedom - liberation
A complete untethered soul
Here's the secret
Learn what to keep and let most of it go
Euthymia is truly what we're after
Peace - tranquility - abundant in our lives
When we clarify our perspective
Nothing changes, but everything changes
It was all in our mind
It brings peace to the whole world,
Stopping both anger and hate;
It wipes out the insults hurled,
Giving love is not too late.
It makes human heart healthy,
Keeping it away from harm;
Cortisol leaves your body,
To have no cause for alarm.
It eradicates the stress,
Offering a boost of mood;
Happiness you must possess,
To make your life free of feud.
It increases endurance,
Strengthening immune system;
To take every golden chance
Of avoiding a mayhem.

A white flower with a long tail,
glides in the morning breeze;
Like an angel from the fairytales,
he eradicates venomous flies.
Black crown he dons, Angry face he has,
But his immaculate look enthralls ;
His feathers as light as hydrogen gas,
make him float in the sky.
He sings, plunges into the air,
performs mimicry and gymanstics,
in search of his perfect pair,
who has a very short tail.
Dark brown and delicate white
are the colors they boast;
Though the male alone has a long tail,
both are indeed the bird lover's delight
Indian paradise flycatcher is the new name;
Previously called Asian paradise flycatcher,
As Shakespeare said, what's in a name?
They already achieved fame

Inner inspiration ingress insight,
Lucent living levitates life,
Obsequious observations overflow oceans,
Victory’s’ vivaciousness vestiges vision,
Exuberant expressions eradicates enemies,
Yammer years’ yowling yields,
Occasional oneness onsets oaths,
Unity unfurls Urania uptorn’,
Essence emanated eradicates egos,
Togetherness taps tepid toes,
Easters eternality en-gild eggs,
Regal rationality rekindles raves,
Navigate nothingness nomogeny naive,
Almighty abodes assuage ache,
Launce life location latitant,
Labyrinth links love liberate,
Your yearn yields YES,
****My humble effort at Acrostic Alliteration****
From my publication "The Transient Soliloquy"
Gives good mood
removes stress
eradicates worries
injects confusion
fakes courage
directs footsteps
grabs the eyes
captures the tongue
plants intelligence
and chops wisdom
then people become
creatures on landscape
Injection to let you fly through the air,
Nobody to look at you or downwards stare.
Bottle, a liquid to change hair colour to a permanent shade,
Just the right amount for your own liking, not to fade.
And a tablet for skin colour, again any colour,
Most teenagers go for purple so as to tower.
Laser zap with ease eradicates your cancer flare,
Completely curable now, without radiation’s glare.
No MND, MD or dwarfism abound,
With genetic editing there’s a muscular sound.
Only problem is kids want to design on their iPads,
Their future kids, but the law says that the natural adds.
We’re working on building the robotic-man assistant,
For the home where parents are not ambivalent.
I guess the love sent from above
Is the one that reflects goodness;
All purity and bliss
A resounding melody that evokes a sanctuary
It is the love blessed ans sanctified
If spiritual knowing is on your side
The kind that shows your greatness,
The right one who makes you forget
Your weakness
I believe the love sent from above
Is like a fountain that overflows,
Where your deepest gratitude grows
A gift that eradicates every hate
The right one who brings you true faith
Governments have no clue about real life.;
they do not want one.
Fear and greed, drive governments
and it is the fool who believes,
that he can hide from reality.
Reality comes in cycles,
rolling along like a boulder down a mountain;
at some point, every power is crushed out.
When the boulder gathers enough momentum,
it needs no specific place to land.
Those in the way of growth,
who do not allow freedom to grow,
must inevitably fail.
It’s a shame that prophets,
are never recognized, in their own time.
Recognizing prophecy; eradicates stagnation.
A simple idea; a seed in the fertile soil,
of human imagination,
gives birth to prophecy.
Some good; some bad; it will all come.
Just because the prophet dies,
doesn’t mean, that their prophecies won’t manifest.
paralyzing the minds of the innocent
destroying the thoughts of the happy
terrifying the one who know
that silence is the devil
it makes you question
everything
it makes you think about
everything
it makes you feel mixed emotions about
everything
it eradicates from the inside out
silence, itself, is a scary thing
