and they tell us that disease had forced them...

The fruits of virtue and vice
Pursue the begetter...

Stood with withered hands once strong and true, which clung to an old cap.

For years he had tilled the...

Seeming to decipher,
The count of the sample,
Whether white, red or dead,
It appears, each is ample,
The blood of our lives,
Not the fluid, arterial,
But the beings, among them,
Usurped the toy in your cereal,
Their daily appearance,
At the start...

It was time...

Past eventide, he crawls in. 

Playing with my hair, the whistling breeze was, 

Teasing me. 

Like fireflies, the distant city lights grinned, 

Vexing me. 

Sighing in fragrant air, wisped the meek blossoms 

Pestering...

Thralldom etched in Homo sapiens (mine) DNA

Though your true blue stated civilian
never enlisted nor impressed,
nonetheless I own an opinion
originally embarked on poetic quest

I was a priest and somehow can recall
the dim church, the heavy clouds of frankincense
and the knights and the peasants lined up for communion.

Justice,  
I remember fallacious accusations of some Pharisees

Turned Out To Be

Footballs were found to be under-inflated;
Not well-mated and problems created;
Seems like part of a big scheme
Giving unfair advantage to a certain team.

So slippery footballs appeared to be;
Deflated like an ego could be...

Ablaze I stay,
Amidst the bruise,
Churned with grace, 
Assimilating feline spirit,
And fuming with ceaseless pace,
When thou trample my hardcore
Submerge my conscience

Just as the phoenix resurrects,
However may thy malign
Weaving...

To let a brood with...
