When another, which followed in ascent,
Made us to turn our eyes to top...

Introduction: once again I incorporate 
my trademark penchant 
to fabricate fictitiously
portions of the following poetic endeavor
can you care to 
discern fact from fiction?

Attempts at lifelong friendships and holy matrimony...

Shot thru with figuratively cankerous nub,

Twice the night had fallen upon a sleepless slumber,
Yet again awoken by winter when the third was three in number.

A wince doth lurk wearing which wicked gaze,
Of conniving cast shadows ‘tween my windowpanes.

Gazing through the window’s diaphanous gelid glass, 
I see a flushing fluorescent misty haze of frothy brass.

Our UU ecofeminist minister
was verbally accosted one Sunday morning
after celebrating multicultural peace
and respect

And when I got a scare
I hi-tailed out of there

But everywhere I went

A blitzkrieg wipes your innocence away
and only heaven’s hand can help you now.
Your counterparts lie trepid to the fray,

For soon the rains of destiny will fall
as innocence capitulates its soul.
Aggression sealed your fears within a wall
to let disease and hunger take their toll.
