And things papered, paneled, plastered...

And the ghostly shadows of the accoutrements and impedimenta that...

Defiant I am, Defiant I'll Always be.. 
As I stand by Humanity in the Face of Adversity 

To merely consider our lives as in a listless tide, and only following the herd, 
Or the life...

The secrecy that ad-libbed by the muteness
Embraced fervency aroused by the speechless
The darkness that mildly faded by the moonshine night
He gently took hold of time
Holding her by his arm, softly he lauded 
The moment with...

Before my mid-life realization
My life was like
Sitting naked 
In an empty bathtub

My arms wrapped tightly 
Around my thighs
A blank expression 
Upon my face

My skin 
Dry and shriveling 
From lack 
Of...

    Began its civilized nature upon land.
As much as nearby waters flowed & nourished,
    Firm ground was needed as most would stand.

outside
inventoried oval-stoned
cathedrals appealing
chiming crimes of passion
woke citronella
fog
hung in cement-hamocked snowdrifts
cloaked slow on slick-stained windowsides
tenement sheets
with the pomegranate notes
of rhythms unrhymed

The gap between us is so wide
You’re so distant away from me
Now I understand we’re worlds apart
But I know I perfectly played my part
I was wishing time will give us a chance.
But little did I...

you're the one that sold me on the crescent moon
a salesman selling ad space, a contract signed by noon
I bought it all with your sweet smile, paper signed with blues
filed in your manila folder with...

My first wish is to acquire as much as possible knowledge
and to learn science economics and other things to acknowledge.
And to perceive the whole world as one for world cohesion
and to thus eliminate the gaps...

firstly notice the neatly combed hair
arms and hands would be needed for that
I detect something amiss
the breadth of those shoulders
not those of a keen swimmer 
how location and the individual attributes conflict
whilst beauty is only...

My man, can you be the one?
My age will not be the reason.
We can go out in the sun,
and be us in any season.

The shell game moves with lightning speed

Fueled by deceit and endless greed

On and on the pundits roll

Pontification seems to be the rule

No adhesion do we see

As they fracture us into bickering fools
