Malevolent maverick mailer-daemon...
wrought maximum monetary mayhem
within mein kampf

Incomprehensible inhumane
inquisitorial imp incarnate injudiciously,

subliminally slithered,
and deftly insinuated himself
into body electric of yours truly
forever remotely...

Biological parents minted circa December 1st, 1957

Amelie Beth Harris
fresh out womb blurted "ahoy"
melded as genetic
deoxynucleic acid alloy
awkward first time parents

and feted yearly birthdays,

thus much appreciation ye...

FROM THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN
TO THE WAYWARD:

Excuse me...I'm moving on,
And I don't need your opinion,
To cast away the trust I'm leaning on.

And I don't think of deciding for you,
Since...

POEM
Title:  Broken

I was wrong,
So wrong that it hurts,
So wrong that it burns,
And the reason is difficult to discern,
We mathematically solved to get love in return
But lost is what we earned.

I'm Broken inside,
Is it something...

freed at last from cataclysmic aftershock
reverberating thru every baited cell
after quaking mine flinty bedrock
well nigh since birth zapping bloodstock,

an existence...

My heart has been stained with lies,
The altar of hollow pain,
But can I lose just one game twice,
Can live through the same loss again?

THE RELUCTANT

We are the living seeming stillness willful we endure 
Through vows of contempt to never surrender
Vacate questions fly by trees terse unknown
Retreat or follow the terminus term less 
Momentary...
