A man
Alone

The king is not accustomed to being confronted face to

The problem is her lips.
They don't form smiles any more than waves decide of their own accord 
to lift themselves up off of the ocean's surface.
And if lips are meant to be drowsy shutters
then hers...

which prime mate affectionately called buttock blaster
alimentary explosion ofttimes causes global disaster
upon such gaseous debacle run for your life ever faster!

Yours truly (humorously dry husband)
can definitively attest,
she (thee missus) nixed, ordained,
inured, espoused blessed
discrete frolicsome liaisons...

Romans 13:1 - “The authorities that exist have been established by God”…

Since sin no longer seems fiction in...

While I gaze in your eyes, cool cerulean blue,
Sifting night, straining stars through morning’s sweet dew,
I can fathom the depths of empyreal skies,
Angels fluttering by, riding wild butterflies

While I gaze in your eyes, changing, aqua-blue...

This man was suited,
booted,scented,
and flew luxury class,
he was high ranking official
of a bureaucracy,
on one flight back,
I followed him in his life,
second by second,
he was called to a far off city,
to lecture on human resources,
he talked...

Teachers are the greatest wonders
That societies can't do without
With optimism for achievements in the way they shout
They are genial creatures that make inexplicability
As simple as ABC or one-two-three

Teachers are the greatest transformers
Like the devices that...

None of them will ever push your soul so far away
Then the day that...

”You will forget me, the love we once shared
Has vanished in the attempt at disguise
The dreams we once knew can’t be repaired
It’s gone with the light that once lit your eyes”

And yet, lest I forget,...

Winter cold moons its way
through my bedroom window.
Frosty beams glint off Dad’s photo,
a standing sentinel
to memories of a live ill-lived.
Wooden-framed seductive smile,
handsome rugged looks,
bely the sad inside his mind.
“Regettsive behavior” I called it.
Regret for not...

Milton and Adam, egocentric Narcissists
capitalized idea of freedom from pessimists
Freedman and Smith, associates seeing all 
to the very end of their own proboscises

no one knows better, than self (and them)
what society needs to get fettered...

Sparring with demons, and dragons and deadheads
It bobs and weaves like a drunken sailor.
Omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient
I'm quite attached to it - joined at the psyche.

Image of an incubus twirling as I do.
Patron Saint of...

Wretched traitors and thieves of emotions!
Blurring my vision and stinging my throat
Choking, choking until my mind melts and
Runs out, unchecked, through my silly red nose

I can make them stop if I really want to
And I...

I love only my kind.
But a world of just
your kind would to
monotony consign you.

I celebrate just my kind.
But a world that celebrates
only you, would to the utter
depths of boredom relegate you.

I prefer just my kind.
But...

DID YOU SAY CLOWN OR DROWN

I aimed my eyes essentially to the east
While trying to escape a beast
I looked to the sanctimonious sea
With waves intent on drowning me

I heard some underwater creatures having a discussion
And...

Fate placed me here in Africa
Application I did not write
Now I love Africa, I serve Africa

take me
feed this surging
lust
kiss me with abandon
assuage my aching need
come to me you must.

Torch me
scorch my skin
build a fiery pyre
detonate your passion
shake with abandon
unfurl your desire.

your eyes
sapphires aflame
murmur in my ear
clutch me there
seize this twilight

We are so engrossed with mortal matter...
That we simply ignore the important things...
Until we finally succumb & scatter...
Like dying music of tangled strings...!

We waste our moments to calculate...
What we lost & what we gained...
All things...
