An Empty Husk
Death drained my life of joy,
till my heart morphed into an empty husk.
And I cannot muster a single smile
from the many I've stored in memory;
to come to my aid in this time of grief.
An emptiness acknowledges the love I've lost.
There are no words that can describe my pain;
all fail to capture the anguish I'm feeling.

Putrid Husk
Winning light, summer's abate autumn's cold.
Just a short distance around the corner.
We never believed we ought to grow old.
Winning light, summer's abate autumn's cold.
With haunting souls through agony and gold
Time spent, memories formed, air of scorner.
Winning light, summer's abate autumn's cold.
Just a short distance around the corner.

Incidents With No Precedents
I tag them incidents
With no strict precedents:
A Hater-of-Elephant-Admirer-of-Tusk
A Critic-of-Perfume-User-of-Musk:
An Attacker-of-Night-Walks-Lover-of Dusk
A Consumer of Corn Teaser of Husk
An Enemy of Flour Friend of Rusk …
Also, who nightly tasks handle
But never bothered to near a candle
And A Class of Eaters of Mutton,
For more asking by touching their shirt button.

Musk, the Husk of Truth
Over breakfast of tea, cheese and rusk,
I mused on the great guy, Elon Musk.
Faced with shoddy service
We shout, losing our bliss
And forget before day turns to dusk.
He’d buy the bad service
Lose none of precious peace,
Not in core, truth today lies in husk.

Husk
I hear people saying my life is full of dusk
But my heart says I am a husk
I have always been thrown out
But I know I am meant to sprout
I might be the different one
Who can't pass through the strain
But it doesn't cost me any pain
Rather just a few stains
And worry not about them
Because they are

Husk
forgot how to smile
can't feel the sun
each second hated more
than the one before
pressed too hard
deep is despair
hopeless used to be fun
so far from the beguns
all my givens up
tears are crying for themselves
passed numb so long ago
please let me go
there is nothing else inside
stopped life
hurt needs to be felt
pain needs a receptor
but all inside is broke
please

100 Percent Natural Psyllium Husk Delivered Solid Ecstasy
100% Natural psyllium husk delivered solid ecstasy
As of late - I could not but barely move
mine whole body felt
analogous to sluggish mollusk
frequent constipation found yours truly
doubled over in gastrointestinal agony
as if elephant or red (livid with rage)
bull thrust his tusk
into lower abdominal area dawn to dusk
ah...voila... hence subsequently I tout
blessed natural laxative the magic of

"Husk"
3 decades sucked out the marrow
Swallowed yesterdays
Spits out a Queen from the crumbling Tower
Ten of swords
High Priestess
Tarot
Husk arisen
Papillon Lefevre will be killed and bitten
Princess supersedes Queen to conquer Life
Through 'true' Love this is written
So mote it be
To Queen G, Che Guevara freedom given

The Husk - a Scary Tale
When darkness falls just after dusk,
Beware the h O ll O w, hungry Husk.
He lurks in shadows without flesh
And thirsts a body which to thresh.

An Empty Husk
We now dwell on different planes
Yet still I hear your voice.
Our parting, it was riven
Neither made the choice.
A dark shadow claimed you
I raged and burned inside,
Why were we forsaken
Oceans, have I cried.
Bereft, what am I to do
Heartbroken, I'm alone.
Where do I go from

Soul's Husk
Glimpses of the remnants…
Like brief reflections in a window:
the haunting image a revelation;
a sudden chill in your reality
Those eyes staring back are not your own.
Cold truth veiled beyond stained glass eyes:
You have journeyed over a wasteland,
all purpose now but a mirage.
By instinct you steadily crawled forth
until oblivion inevitably consumed you.
You are but the shadow that

Husk of a Horsefly
Husk of a Horsefly
It's the last day of September
as I carefully toe
the husk
of a horsefly
out of my office
onto bright tiles
Stella will buff
to a sheen
while I am at home
surveying my supper.
But now I have time
to sit at my desk
till it's time for my train.
I can lean back in my chair
and listen to the day
drone near
