once the missus temporarily
ceased menarche regarding monthly bleed

when permanently...

Abject poverty it is said, 
must actually be honed,

Before restoring outside perfection,
perpetual pleasures
of prosperous peace

I remain responsible,
compulsively responsive,
habitually receptive
to repairing inside win/lose
past competitive aggressions,
negatively suppressive 
non-communications

My most resilient repentance
includes self-forgiveness
for over-stressed addictions
to trauma repressors,
for failing to do my best
on a bad day

I usually...

The broken piggy bank
strewn into a bajillion little pieces

Unexpected largesse
yours truly patiently waits,
a metaphor of my dire financial straits

the missus, this wordsmith notates
unwittingly linkedin to his misfortune,
a situation he hates,
especially, an unavoidable...

Lady Shutterbug had doubt
Spent hours that coulda been ‘bout
an environ pro-activist devout    
Spotting celebrities, scoping it out
Not keeping abreast trendy starlets 
Kylie, Mavee, Cardi B, or Scarlet
Yet little does she regret,

I belong to metallic soiled Earth,
solar-fired water's atmosphere;
these oil and blood-fluent elements
would feel freer
not belonging to you,
to us.
They
we
are our belongings
but not our property,
commodity.
 
Our multicultural values
measure and calculate
design and develop
investing primal qualities of time
predicting secondary...

opting out begetting offspring

When brother fought brother and families closed doors.

The traffic light
delayed us both
Me driving my car
She driving her cart.

The traffic direction changed, rotated,
making black eyes spark annoyed 
as her walk signal failed to appear,
   shrunken mouth twisting crooked

This architectural frame upon your mortal hue
Testifies God’s perfection and generosity in creation
These compartments of yours that dazzle the eye 
Are autographs that you are far above angelic beauty
Radiant queen among mortals, adorned in attire...

Compassion does not speak in judgment;
at least not before sufficient listening
on the emerging edge of gratitude.

Therapeutic sciences now speak
as one with inter-religious mystics,

That kindness
is physically and mentally therapeutic
for those who receive
and especially those who adeptly...

His bow expertly caresses my supple strings
My body moans when tucked beneath his chin
Revving to his rhythmic pulse, my heart sings

I am the delicate ivory he strokes...

If I have to poetry see and define 
My words would shrink and stop to ink
My thoughts would be unable to align 
And in confusion I would rather sink..

AN ASTRAL WASTE

Just because your lips don't meet mine
despite the moonlight
doesn't mean the morning will not shine
it only means the time wasn't right

the stars were not adeptly aligned
Venus wasn't where it should have been
but it...

THE MONEY GAME

What gifts are daily gold and gains?
What finite pleasures crowd upward ways,
What foolish man should claw each day
To gather more to tuck away?

Look closely at this useless strife
How curiously this mind is bent--

First off-
you're E~did,

fawned like frozen in a wrong beam of time-

God is only justified by his own usury,

and we don't do the forgotten as a figurine...

We all are falling,
forwardly and softly forestalled,

faked,

forgiving four fickle frogs,

Whenever Artists are praised
Animators are not at all amazed-
For, they create Life and activity
from ideas from mind's captivity.

They sweat, they toil and do time
to create this  live pantomime;
An Animator adeptly manages
life through...
