Invisible to the naked eye
traumatization (courtesy
chastising and reproaching -
by fellow classmates
and later in life
birth parents and inlaws
dealt hefty figurative jab)
tremendously impacted yours truly
analogous to him moving bajillion miles away
compounded by his withdrawn demeanor
diagnosed when he reached middle adulthood
as schizoid personality disorder,
thus exhibiting obvious developmental delay
bullied courtesy nasty brutes,
who scapegoated and rejoiced
with hip hip hurray,
meanwhile I experienced
terrible psychological melee
escaping to safe confines of bedroom,
where I wanted to stay
for mine remaining years of life.
Retrospective review
now approaching my doddering old age
constituted more'n one cruel (cheap) trick
played on super tramping urchin,
who traipes across virtual global stage
ensnared within whorled webbed wide
spending his hard earned itty bitty wage
spinning one strand after another.

Find here a tribute to one of the cleverest gals
To ever grace a show biz locale
She mused that parties 'stand' for a platform
For which voters 'fall' by the swarm

The rhapsodical sacred beauty beneficent,
The chanting dream of a life well spent,
Luscious fruit of the labors of heaven,
The flame of faith ever dispels confusion.
In blackness of night, she burns bright,
Like the iridescent moonglow at twilight.
Her magic makes polka dot blooms possible,
So, every kind of beauty seems plausible!

Each morning breaks with poem’s sound
Though instant fame may not abound,
God’s harmonies are hanging there
For those who listen, those who care.
There’s music in the milkman’s cart,
That celebrates like poet’s art.
The child waits for milk bottle’s chime,
The poet words to fit his rhyme,
All human souls are new day’s guest,
And sure as lovers to be blest.
Petitioners in God’s own court
Find they have little left to sort.
And those with patience for the Lord
See there’s not much they can’t afford,
Good cheer like sunshine feeds the day,
Good parents find a time to play,
Though up and down the avenue
Are boys whose fathers named them Sue!

There are seven despicable sins each one
of us willingly or unwillingly commits daily;
I disclaim six, but I willl claim one openly:
it's the irrepressible anger raging inside.
There was a big trauma in my early childhood:
that memory was stored, but cannot be retrieved;
I blame dad for the love he didn't give to his child...
remembering hurts indefinitely, forgetting is hard.
For years, I carried this secret so ashamed to reveal,
mother saw the depth and dimension of everything;
she lifted all the weight I was incapable of carrying,
but my cry wanted to escape and break off the seal.
If I am guilty of this sin, God will not punish me for it;
His sympathy for the ones who weep is forgiveness,
but those inflicting pain won't escape His judgment.
Lord, end at once this anger that brings on illness.

craving irrepressible,
for what's good, what's noble.
