Pasha Acremodios grew greedy,
discontented with the domain he dominated,
so he turned covetous eyes toward Farabia,
sending his soldiers to seize this ripened plum

Gloriously luxuriating in eternal sleep

Forlorn; bereft of golden
(slippered) opportunities I weep;
Three score and four years
replete with mailer daemons,

Savoring complete its true...

With a ready black ink pen they share this bond

A regular dose of cyber space.

Exist in a cloudy ethereal place.

My worries are real, palpably true,
I worry I am not what...

a speck on the horizon, growing ever far;
the farthest point of reference whereby sky merges land,
the microscopic frost beneath the Polar Star.
And, palpably, my heart it...

In the eerie hours of dawn,

and stillness speaks
It's resonance sweet .
The air slips in and out of rooms
like the  vapory clouds 
merging with  the skies.
The marbled floors

 mystic sensations

with a posed, black-inked pen.
The words flowed effortlessly
as if not my own.
They always seem

at the end of the line.
Palpably affected 
by the last word written
without rhyme...

Lest you be killed today

As the bodies lay still
The survivors searched for safe haven
And while the oppressor swings around his deadly mace
The people pray that God has...
