Spring's Abysmal Guile
Spring’s Abysmal Guile By Sy Roth A vapor rises, rank as the charnel pit, a corruption of a miasma vast, as though some sepulcher, long sealed, split its stony jaws to breathe. Vile exhalation of a corrupted world. The reveler, unwitting wretch treads the decadent fields where verdure writhes, each blade a hostile tendril, squamous, cold, glistening with ichor No earthly fount its...

UNSHACKLING THE MIND
To the downtrodden, the marginalized, and worn, Is this the fate that's yours to mourn? The bourgeoisie, a cabal of power and might, Gather to crush the poor, and snuff out their light. The poor, in turn, unwittingly join the fray, Oppressing themselves, in a vicious cycle of disarray. Since time immemorial, I've witnessed this sad refrain, Rarely seeing the rich and...

This Chapter Is Called Happiness- a Guile
Poet: Em Em Mubarak Lawal Sequel: after Paciolo pen saint I rather call a spade a sword why does the finesse of a wine not linger on the tongue for long? why does tears have to flow when butterflies fill one’s belly, and also when one could not curb cobwebs of life from overcoming one’s happiest moments?

With Stealth and Guile
Never disagree with the Officer Class When you’re serving in the ranks, Never disagree with the Officer Class For you’ll never get any thanks. They seem to think The time they spent Getting Commissioned Makes them Omnipotent. Heaven protect the squaddie Who’s discovered to have been right For the Officer Class hate the thought Of an underling who proves to be bright. The NCO learns as...

Premium Member Guile Entity
Posit the guile entity The lost, enters without warning Mostly death, but severed hearts Also are placed within its hands A signifier of painful art Worshipped by the insane But longed for by the lonely And lost, who enter knowingly This being bends, and breaks The bones of the weary And lowers the esteem Of all those that are still lost And which have given...
