I do not love you after any fashion,
but wildly, in despair.
Because you...

But the seeds were sown early in our preparations,
And shared philosophy of following our bliss,
Simply stated, the trip stopped being fun,

Crevasse Flexion Insurrection Liberates Overwhelming Reclamation
Sinister glacial dissolution

Slavery
enslavement
force of self-imposed ownership
overpowering another's ego-ownership,
anthro-morbid,
collective ego-morphic tolerance of identity rape,
fear and anger, together building hate,
from which enslavement derives;
a culturally camouflaged nondual co-arising relationship
of codependent despair,
self-hatred.
Enslaving force perpetuates Ego's full-blown angry reduction
in self-identity,
deduction of...

A Poet Cursed
It’s an enduring strain,
and a constant fight,
to remain focussed,
when failing sight,
defeats my writing
of poetic lines!
Frustration oft rules,

of what I’ve written,
for all is blurred.
Then angst prevails,
with curses heard,
as I look in vain
