(circa ~ 8:30 post meridiem 
December twenty eighth, 2022).

A retrospective account

1. My sins may be an alarmist
hitting me hard with heavy fist
Your glory, I want to be near
my soul to you, I feel no pier
a flowerless life like lichen
you stop my spirit from itching
thank you...

Mine mortal flesh can finally escape...

Though mentally, physically,
and spiritually healthy... meth
hood dolled logy 
hoop fully, ideally, joyfully...
unannounced twill be mine death
without forewarning thine

grand finale allocated breath
best surprise visit me
(without reason nor rhyme)
ye grim reaper, when...

(just in time for summer reading...
recounting emotionally disastrous campy turbulence)

Amidst a raft of fellow (Brandywine Valley
     Y.M.C.A) resident campers
     who, didst excitedly quiver
donning a "NON FAKE" lifejacket

The Lost Art Of Composition

too often my thoughts and the ability to express them
are taken hostage without a clue to the cause
this is an affliction familiar to many a writer
as if madness wasn't enough
it proves...

Pursuit for elusive prey
teases yours truly
into treacherous catacombs
dangerous mentally
challenging pitfalls,

sets small hairs of back
on camp creeks edge
of night, where dark shadows
evoke outer limits
of twilight zone

prompting me constantly questioning
purposefulness, qua hair raising pursuit

Radical planet friendly measures
equals earning kudos as unsung hero
(think environmental/carbon footprint)
nearly absolute zero
while global population quarantine
suspension of civil rights
would never fly with trumpeting pharaoh.

Since United States economically crippled

Shucking Evil In Favor Of Good...
(courtesy of tasseled colonel corny maise aye aire)

Challenge more difficult than threading
camel thru eye of needle, hence catchy title

Chinks of light filter
thru pitchblack emotional prison
vestigial shadow figure hunkers,
an atrophied, mortified, petrified old man
implacable self destructive nemesis
birthed in league pitiful human shambles,

his abysmally forlorn existence
scotched, sabotaged, severely short changed
agonizing depression tortures psyche
family abandoned nsync,
entrenched...

Happiness does be a choice
Why, life is meant not, to be by itself, a thing to rejoice
Life is meant to be harsh, life is crude
Life is to all of us, so rude

See, life does have...

At times, the feel of the sun on my whole body is delicious
How warm, how comforting, how addicting
Of the sun's rays I shall never have enough
Why, amidst life's harsh darting arrows
The warmth of the sun...

Perdition Be Damned!

Body electric zapped
lower gastrointestinal tract
wracked with wretchedness
pitted, rocked, and tortured
severe muscle spasms cramp
deathly hallowed deliverance

beseech divine creator to exorcise relief
any panacea trumpeted vetoed
pestilential nausea diarrhea
wreaks relentless havoc
horrid ordeal twists insides
lack strength to live

Oh! sometimes, how it feels so heavy inside
When words can scarcely express
When laying back on a recliner would barely do
When looking out the window Won't do
When singing a loved song won't do
When taking a walk...

For three score years and little more you lived
Did you at once think of yourself?
Did you at once rest?
When the heartless sun bitterly scotched your back
You never thought of it
You concentrated on planting a tree...

As Samuel saw vaulted Xanadu of Kublai Khan fame
In smoke-filled corridors of sweat-drenched Opium-eaters
Did I spy a vision so surreal as to render all my sentient senses to nought
And to replace them with a miasma...

"Headline news! The rag trade is torn to pieces!
Dolls are strewn across the streets with skirts lifted high.
Headline news! Markets are buzzing with voracious bees;
Stinging for honey, for money to burn. Sly.

May I escort you...

Surely
I am not
The only one
I remember
Thousands
I walked with
For a non nuclear stance
Now
Silence

Even before
Those brave humans
That took on apartheid
An battled
The Queensland government
Silence

And where's
The freedom voice bus?
Students r u
Drones
Or
Thinkers and tinkerer's

Slowly
By surely
Walling our self's in
To a fake
Normal

I am the maker of your fear, says the silver ocean.
like the dessert sun to a scotched frog,
I strike the sand and bury you deep with each beat,

Too when the night is calm, and moon...

Who am I supposed to be
A tear in someone’s eye, not me...

I am...
Of what is possible if valleys rise into ice capped mountains
And rivers flow until their waters sink to spring into beautiful fountains
The unconscious...

A lot said of Almighty’s modeling
Just a few minutes to lunchtime ding
Persons like thee make any evidence of such perish 
You came out hot from a specific idea
From the horizon of my world
Your image burns...

Enthralled
As crystalline,  fluffy without weighing much
White perceived so resourceful, black seeded
Hand red scotched, blood stains... sweat drips
Off checks, sun heating and its rays amplified.

Picking on one to fill the packing, turmoil out
Backs bending to...

And 
somewhere 
far off on 
hills,
Dwelled 
deep upon 
a summit, 
a dappled 
ground
A cock will 
again 
crow to 
his mates, 
whisper
To the 
world: in 
earnest 
plea or 
sweetness
And 
soothe a 
air around 
and tumult
Kindled 
from...

a portion of courage is leading me,
i have written enough letters,
if you hear these solemn words know its me,
the sun has scotched all the nectar.

that to the grave...
