Long Flare up Poems

I’ve never felt so high it seems
You held me tight as we kissed in my dreams
I’ve been scared out of my wits lately
But, with your embrace, I’m safe honestly

I was defeated by depression and anxiety

Prune juice as effective emetic

Brainstorming yields casting 
the following plumbline 
netting genetic, italic, kinetic, 
magnetic, opportunistic, quixotic,

seeped through my defences like smoke,
the devil shimmying off my shoulder,
setting up a nest in my brain-

Freedom, love, and sadness.
Both need the other,
Though reluctant to admit it.
As the...

Can't take no more

I just can't cope anymore,

I can not even get out of bed.

Then the day came
A new specialist
Let’s see if today
I can make a fist.

Lynching Live; So What? Trumped-Up Normality Reins

Knee lynching streamed live,
Shadowed death’s source is revealed;
Justice remains blind!

Cameras roll, showing death’s shadowed

Cameras don’t lie; streaming the truth of

And felt so soothed
So totally content

Attaining insight is quite unpredictable.

Wisdom filters all impurities of mind.

Time and age are not at all constraints to attain wisdom.

In snow, when the villages 
Are buried in a whiteness
That only a polar bear,
Rolling in the fray of a midnight blizzard 
Could match?

After the virus 
Is decreased...
