“Sanitized for Your Own Protection”
non bis in idem
“untrue”, she considered
the letter was passed
between steel lines
vertical
and read
“you’re not born again
until you are dead”
signed
“Sanitized for Your Own Protection”
Invisible, the cuts in a heart.
Love in its many parts
A Jigsaw Puzzle
Bleeding
pieces of a life
moved around
on clean courthouse tables
before all the books of Judges
discounted time now lost
heartache and the truth recognised for what it was,
reprised like a mouse trapped on a spinning wheel
unable to "get off"
Red
A Road Light
the doe stopped dead in her tracks
was roadkill from the start
she was marked
pulled apart
and disjointed
by the beloved hunter
a haunted unnamed ghost
now seeking forgiveness
tongue out to receive the host
A Jigsaw Puzzle
pieces moved
forward on a
black and white board
bleeding out
the violence unseen
sanitized
abstract bruises hidden
light and dark
veiled like a bride
maintain some kind of dignified
Silence;
but not the eyes
non bis in idem
(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)
"Violence" / Grimes

“And the day came
when the risk to remain tight in a bud
was more painful
than the risk it took to blossom.”

Lyrics/Violence, Grimes
https://genius.com/Grimes-violence-lyrics
Can i ever forget that you
ever existed in my heart,
Knowing the pain it caused
me deep down my heart.
Each time i think of how it
all got to this very point,
Only helps to send shock
waves down my spines and
joints.
It seems the joy you
brought to my life,
Was cut short before it even
began with a knife.
It seems you lasted just for
few days,
While deep down my heart i
long for you everyday.
Wishing and hoping we can
go back to the day i found
you,
When the whole of my life
changed to brand new.
Bringing to me the
happiness i never once felt
before,
And an ebullient love i once
hoped for.
You gave me hope for a
better tomorrow,
By erasing all of my
unending sorrows.
You gave me a great sense
of humour,
Each time there is a scene
of a tumour.
You made my life as sweet
as it can be,
Even when there are things
that can sting me like a bee.
How can i forget that
amazing smile of yours,
That kept me dazzling
beyond many hours.
How about the joy you
gave me knowing that you
are my best friend,
Went a long way to bring all
my fears to an end.
And then every thing fell
apart,
The very moment you left
by breaking my heart.
First you made every thing
seems like an horrible
nightmare,
And brought to me an
emotional darkness in an
hare.
You turned every Grimes of
happiness to pain,
And every traces of love to
lain.
Making my eyes abated
with tears,
More than what my heart
can bear.
Pain of a broken heart is all
i can feel,
And the aching of a
bleeding knee.
All i have now is an empty
and shattered heart,
That needs a taste of a
rebirth.
It all happened very fast,
And now i'll try to put every
thing in the past.
And keep hoping for a
better future,
Without the glance of your
picture.
All i know is that no matter
the way it may seem,
You'll forever in my heart
remain evergreen.

The Ides of March
Spun spells pummel our Earth ... as a Sun scanned absence swallow,
vacuumed blues taxes light once deemed eternal ... plus righteousness,
escapism from existence ... edges evacuation,
Birth ere the latter days ... ventured the laurels that were Rome,
the incarnation of iniquity ... masquerade innocence,
like clovers and thistles ... lure eyes above the common grass,
Furtherance besought ... midst tossed bone for multi contentment,
parades that paralyze souls ... usurp minds to sweeping abandon,
celebratory hails the seasoned ... emblem of power,
The gods and goddesses' palms of warring pulse ... 'tis peacetime,
nonetheless ... tributes adorn the temples of Mars in abundance,
'tis time of awash hands of mere grimes ... toxic suffers freely,
Citizens housed upon Palatine ... the triumphant hill,
felicitations honorable legions ... protectors of Rome,
promissory constants ... declared Remus per Romulus,
Roman Senate played a chess game ... Caesar kept them in check,
every move was scrutinized ... made vulnerable and powerless,
autocracy trumps democracy ... seeds gangocracy,
Plans are planted within plans ... schemes are shrouded inside schemes,
the beast entrails read ominously ... Spurina forewarns the marked,
timely debts to be paid in full ... matters to be settled,
At the Courts of Pompey ... the assembly awaits for him,
armorless donning senatorial garb ... metals pierce a man,
till mute ... last recalls *haruspex, "Beware the Ides of March".
*Haruspex; reading of omens from the entrails of sacrificed animals. The subject of Shakespeare's title play came from his thorough accounting of Plutarch's writings.

PRICELESS MOMENTS
So, I write to heal
Written By Valerie Jean Grimes (My Dad Albert L Grimes Sr) 9/30/2014
Kylie had a diving accident,
In her friend’s swimming pool,
In which she broke her neck,
And so was sped to hospital.
Tragically, all the doctors, staff,
Thought she was really drunk,
Because she still had movement,
In her left leg, toes - not sunk.
So she hoped in therapy rehab,
To walk again and ably function,
Because she new procedures,
From her stables’ education.
She told and told the nurses,
Don’t move me, don’t move me!
But with insults they inquired,
If she was also on drugs illegally.
Then they dropped her! She fell,
Passed out to be hoisted up,
Onto the bench again, no brace,
And she knew she’d not get up.
However, she says she told,
a physio, “I had no negative,
feelings about having a spinal
injury. I wanted to [be positive
and] look to the future and find
out what I could do. Hand on
heart, I never felt ‘Why me?’”
I never reflected [ever upon]
the things I used to be able
to do but now are not possible.
I did miss my horses and that
I would never be [at all] able
to ride again but I was all
about looking forward.” Kylie
Sued her friend’s dad, father,
But she did not sway the jury.
But then she took to court,
Frimley Park Hospital, NHS,
But just before the court case,
She settled for £1m, no less.
Kylie spent much of her money,
On equipment for w/c rugby,
Which is no coward’s game,
But which lets you have rigidity.
Toughness is her top standard,
And she made the London Paras,
But recently changed to the club,
So at Rio threw 18.75m: 4th brass.
She loves being an auntie,
To her sisters little boy, nephew,
But is not looking to have kids,
Or relationships do or to accrue.
In time arrow’s one way course the winds of change blow,
wafting from the fading end to an unknown another new,
the thrust of transformation they get from the power
the spurt of history gives that goes on increasing ever.
The direction toward the world order received from
the compass of current events can’t ever be altered,
the intent it inscribes on the social landscape page,
the crafty world leaders design, is difficult to change.
Mankind strives to shed the unwanted old grimes,
like the autumn dry leaves the wind sweeps away,
bury under the sand layers of senile forgotten time,
but they rise in new forms in authoritarian regimes.
Indomitable spirit emerges from the debris of history,
new generations of belief and value emanate strong,
like escalating momentum of human rights paradigm
that’ll succeed if ever it can defy the vested interests.
,
The time arrow strikes hard with manipulated wrath,
transforms fast and invariably the vulnerable core
of the traditional society proud of integrity and unity,
imperceptibly into one of intolerance and hostility.
The conventional concept of herd living in free world
changes to isolationism with disintegrated families,
evolving into self-destructive fragile breed, collapsing
under psychic stress of changing times of uncertainty.
If the maneuvered course of post-cold war geopolitics
demolishes the critical balance of power and authority,
weaker nations will turn into mute and powerless pawns
in the game of chess, its rule devised by new world order.

"When Heaven Opened Up"
And when Heaven opened up
There, the dragon finally approached;
St George embraced Her Truth
The mother waiting for an apology
that never came, withdrew Her sword
Her heart gone all Light, full and golden,
is seen to do the unthinkable,
exchanges forgiveness with the heartbroken,
the one far fallen, who by necessity has finally won
Her only freedom gate token;
She remains behind
standing poetic with the soliloquy guards
dimensionless, watching over
the written
not spoken

"So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth" / Grimes
https://youtu.be/iH0kfH04U68
"Sometimes you have to lose to win".
"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive.
He who is devoid of the power to forgive
is devoid of the power to love.
There is some good in the worst of us
and some evil in the best of us.
When we discover this,
we are less prone to hate our enemies."
"Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge."
"The weak can never forgive.
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
"If you ever get a second chance in life for something,
you’ve got to go all the way."
"Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children."
William Makepeace Thackeray

“Dark Train”
minds
speaking
in lost tongues
shadows
standing
on the platform
lower vibration
passes
The Stations
dark train
waiting for
abandonation
“unrest is in the soul
we don’t move our bodies
anymore”…
(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)
“Darkseid”/Grimes ft Pan
https://youtu.be/U3oyTuik0Hg
"I can still function but I can’t take out
The broken part inside my brain.
If I turn my face up to the light, you can see
That my lips are covered
With the messy finger prints of ghosts
As they are trying to open my jaw wildly,
Because they think I can issue an amnesty for them.
But they turn out to be distracted and fascinated..."
"Someone take these dreams away
That point me to another day
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true realities"
"Tongues, then,
are a sign,
not for believers
but for unbelievers;
prophecy, however,
is not for unbelievers
but for believers"

‘Hot in here, isn’t it’ I say to whoever is near
My partner in this crime of non reasoning
For a squeeze of lemon?— top of the class?— cherry pop given freely without rates
