Long Affrighted Poems

Fretfully aching to feel fit as a fiddle

After experiencing a severe,
albeit violent near lethal bout

(yesterday night August 30th, 2023)
triggered courtesy dulcolax caplets plus 
healthy portion of lentils,
I (a beatle browed, foo fighting,...

who lived by my back garden gate
she was nasty and mean, at times quite obscene

She screeched and she stomped as she threw things
like my...

would you follow tangled lines of a rearward call?

Inevitable advance to stepping backwards

intrinsically safe with His arms.

and molded from His heart so warm.

Fain to live,

My heart submitted to no one,
A completion of self with another was a fight to shame a proud mother
And still as the waves crash against the rocks, 
You sway against me, push upon me- rough...

In wind, how it sighed and it grumbled
With force, how it howled in its fury
But still they bore no trace of worry

In cool autumn winds they cavorted

The heart and mind meld this time
I would that I bleed, not cry
Bleeding tells them my body hurts
Crying reveals my heart and soul hurt

The tree of life is uncertain and short
Season in; season out, my...

He holds her in his arms till her anger defuses  
To despair over her phobias he  simply refuses

Nightmares of being hated and unloved one day
Cloud her thoughts of...

There was a man;
Whose lived by the mountains for ages.
He was; but to be seen,
