GEMUT APOCALYPTICUS
Terrain to thy welcoming, clapsing
As the sky in fear of the rage, gasps
Oh to devour the devourers tasking
Prepared for thee Oh apocalis
The blue in time so lovely
I could feel the touch firmly
On the contour to thine rays
To light the path to thine rains
It's about time she smiled
To the spat tornado filed
At the shooting of a rock star
About the end to make this war
Vent in the anger roaring
To the spiteful will of war
As it rolls down ocean of wants
To the desires that can't be quenched
You asked for love, It offers hate
Asked for peace , offers war
Asked for flower, offers it with viper
Wrapped it in the vase of its casing
Who will tell the sky?, enough!
Who will say to Leviathian, rot!
To the waggling of its bumps
As it rolls the sea over its bits
To archaic! Lost battle to strength
To witty! Lost wars to the wise
The rolls of anger set lose await
Yet the world will not remain same.
Caress the earth in her warmth
Don't consume her in her rage
Make her a better place to her hosts
Her end shouldn't be the heart of apocalypse

I'm shivering, naked, I'm amidst bodies on a cart
All I remember is looking up awaiting the water
Entangled I am seeing grimaced pinked faces
And a solumn looking sky very close to tears
Now discarded, left, sensing a sweet acrid smell
Knowing the await, soon the others and I
Time passes as I drift in and out of reality
Then night falls, as I awaken to quieting sobs
Accents I hear, that I'd only ever heard in movies
Aghast gasps of witnessed horrors befall my ears
Crisp morning airs adorn my emaciated frame
Slowly my eyes open to a cacophony of cries
Gently I feel my skeletal existance being carried
Choked voices console as I blearily scan
A silent emptiness abounds, even chimney stacks
No more I see these ills, these evils, they!

New Year, New Dawn As Life Gasps In Sweet Awe
(Lind-Sonnet and One)
That awakening, brain gasps and shouts- Rise(!)
dawn, bright welcoming rays, crying out- See(!)
Heaven, Nature- a stupendous surprise
earth, golden treasures given unto thee!
Morn wafting breeze a beseeching heart- Stirs(!)
one's soul, deeper set, in brightest born- Lights(!
winds of true love, romantic spirit spurs
lips of her, the delights of moonlit nights!
In New Year, as Fate and Hope both life- Gives(!)
as dark, spinning world, births its many- Paths(!)
For within sweetest joys, life we must live
trying not to bring dark gods's evil wrath!
Happiness oft arrives by our having free- Choice(!)
Dawn's awakening, life's loving we must- Rejoice(!)
Rise to see, stirs light, gives paths, of choice and rejoice.

Death shrieks a pebble
Down the dusty-road
Corn stalks and spiders sing
Silence and division
Gravel shouts boot-heels
A steel beast hums a rusted ode
As crows and eagles implode
The clouds float a witness
The wind blows sweet distress
An engine fires a scream
A hiker gasps a dream…
