Blunt sense sharpened by subtle trance
lacerates the languishing psyche
that doesn’t slink,
unwary of mortal deception.
The shards of singularity
transfigure in a blink
into passion potion of dreams,
adrift in ephemeral delusive flow,
porous essence sips the sanguine drink.

In the misty milepost
of the penultimate pathway,
at the faint fringe
of future obscure,
the twilight tune
reverberates the requiem
for the forlorn tree,
silhouetted tranquil
against sundown skyline
of transient radiance,
witnessing in
the cauldron of time
the last flash
of the decaying day,
d y i n g….
The twirling tapestry
of tempestuous torment,
interlaced seamlessly
with the cleaved clouds
of swarming storm,
ravages the unwary horizon,
halcyon once,
marks the chameleon shift
of concealed colors
on convoluted canvas,
lacerates the last corner
of the frail fresco,
c r u m b l i n g….
The deformed shards
of the splintered sky
spin in swirling storm,
roll on the dismal waves
of curled up bleak cloud,
the remnant rays
of sanguinity still sparkle
in the departing flashes
of the sinking sun,
drowning the montage
of memory,
compose the latent melody
of the unsung dreams
with the fossilized life’s
fading cadence,
sequistered in spectral lyric
of sunset swansong,

Driving in sought direction, a new desire visible
Slick road delivers destined distance, crystal gleam
Wetness formed by years old tears, bidding for
Proximity begged obligation, historic tenuous team
Mother does his washing, aged forty dependant
Criticises his seldom made choices for connection
Coddling lacerates love's potential, fear fettered
Prods using paucity, short sighted home protection
Puncture of gilded needles harass prone hands
Punishing silver artillery pummels vulnerable palms
Window low limb conveys wrath of rain's chants
Demands from conflicted agendas tug rugged arms
20th January
- at one's peril to become involved with a man
whose Mother or ex wife does his house work

Falling silent against naked cheek…
When an emotion stuns or stings
Cutting through the composure
To free the heart of liquid poison
Toxic feelings of pain and sorrow
Grief that slashes through self-control
Leaving the heart in deep discouragement
Touching thoughts with negativity
That comes from a lack of sensitivity
Lighting the way to eventual joy
That comes when one finally lets go
Of sorrow, sadness, anguish
All the feelings that bring heartache
To the one who listens to the beating
The throbbing and pounding, the breath
Of a silent tear, reflecting the soul
Who knows only angst and pain
Beliefs colored in hues of ebony
Dark thoughts, black coats of sorrow
That change dreams to nightmares
Hopes to desperateness and misery
A sting that eventually lacerates
The faith that sustains and remains
Even after the sorrow and pain
Brings a teardrop to cling to the face
Who floods the spirit with shame
From allowing the heart to hold onto
A flow of disdain, grief and woe
That is engrained in the one who knows
A silent tear is sometimes the answer
To a prayer for relief to this agony!

If life comes
to the appealing dreams
that are visible
to the eyelids and cognitive mind
and appears in front of eyes.........
If the stumped Buteamonosperma trees
bloom and kimsuka blossoms
spread red colour
and decorate the forest........
If water drop falls from
Electromagnetic lightening dark clouds
into a bivalve and transforms
into a shining pearl
and feels highly, greatly acclaimed......
If the morning sun
emits the light rays
that lacerates thick nights and winds
and gives shining to the dew drops
fallen on the grass blades......
If the mashed rice food turned into a lump
between your lovely finger tips
reach my palate passing through
My lips.......
All these are wonders
In my life
Oh!My dear!
All these are unforgettable
Immortal memories
In my life!!!

Journalist jeopardizes hegemony
Unveils untold injustices
Lacerates limits of freedom
Invokes imminent amendments
Answers alleged incriminations
Negates nefarious power
Antagonizes acrimonious lies
Suffers slaughter of right
Subdues surrogate meanings
Awaits apoplectical hatred
Nears noxious injection
Gulps generous hemlock
Ends evil monopoly

Near Chinatown
the king forsakes
his golden crown
but sword he takes.
In mid twilight
the dragon wakes
eager to fight
and battle makes..
The dragon roars
as flames creep higher
dense cold rain pours
quenching the fire.
with flaming eyes
and razor teeth
he brings demise
to those beneath.
dark leather wings
sharp talons slash
as lightning brings
a brilliant flash.
A soldier swings
his gleaming blade
and stone he slings
most unafraid.
The brazen king
then does appear
no sword to swing
He hurls a spear.
He lacerates
the armored skin
and devastates
the life within.
The dragon fails
to rise again
The king inhales
then laughs in pain.

Delusions of grandeur of being superior, definitive lines drawn and hacked up on a mirror. The Earth trembles and all the ghosts have left.
Gov't Gimps,
Unnerving social locusts.
Human livestock and their fodder. No artistic merit, can't hold their weight in dirty water.
Gripping onto a fleeting idea with fear of the flame going out. Inner child snuffed with a plastic bag. We will wear these costumes like Halloween until the day that we die.
Gov't Gimps. Media ****, rape our attention spans, glue the 3rd eye shut. Netflicks goons. Simeon sex for brains. Woke up this morning with a bullet on my mind.
Hell is in the body and Heaven's broken glass smile lacerates my ribs. Your Smart phone knows just how you like it.
Daunting.
Of human design.
Birds of a feather talk about the weather. Gallow fruit, sticky fingers, and preachers draped in leather.
Don't you pray for me. Not with that filthy mouth of yorn. The evil that manifests your bones is so easy to justify. Don't pray for me, not with that filthy mouth of yorn. When I die, leave me where I lie, that radiation that corrupts my bones is so easy to justify.

My octogenarian father can no more walk the mile
His memory lurks behind his perpetual deceptive smile
He has hidden us in a chasm so deep
and cavernous, where no light ever does peep
A wise gentleman once, now is a hapless child
Easily pleased,angered,intimidated or beguiled
He looks at old family albums like a kaleidoscope
Amused by colors sans any warmth, cognizance or hope.
He is elated when I sometimes go over ‘ABCs’
And the accuracy and irony of his words oft lacerates me.
"K is for knowledge", he stealthily whispers
"Never to amass, make sure always to disperse!"
"D is for daughter, but friend who are you?
Please stay for dinner, won’t you!”

Words are your daggers!
Lacerates this heart
in vicious manner.
It’s hard to forget
like a bad daydream.
Scars aren’t clear.
See me smiling,
Heart is crying
in dark corner.
Turn me down!
Hate me much!
Say it loud!
Don’t care
still I’ll…
Fly!

Each Second; an hour,
waiting. Constantly waiting.
For you.
Can't you see I'm shaking, quaking?
Destroyed masterfully by a shiver -
tearing up my spine,
ripping me deep.
Still, I wait for your promise
of simple words,
Yet
words are the only things that mean,
anything. Anymore.
Cold has struck higher, harder
hacking me deeply.
Cut into veins of ice, now I'm
devoid of hope.
Any hope of you.
Numb overtakes me, lacerates me, berates me
each limb now lost,
only for you.
Misguided I am left.
Waiting. An Eternity of waiting.
Left,
No hope.
No feeling.
Alone.

My love has no conditions
My heart loves to listen
When I am inspired by my fears
It is comforted by my tears
Hate is suffocated through the lack of light
But love makes things shine so bright
Being in love makes us unable to discern with time
It flies when we are, it even leaves us behind
Oh how we become blind
It so hard to keep but easy to find
Innocence, honesty, and truth will lead the way
True love I hope to find it some day
Love lacerates us thoroughly
Why don’t people take love seriously
Some say love is a advancement to evolution
It’s the only key to mankind’s solution
In Heaven and Earth love is the highest emotion
It is desperately need in this existing civilization
Through the faith of my tomorrows
Trust me where there is hate love will always follow
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear. -- John 4:18
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. -- Proverbs 10:12
