As I spiral further down, my outer shell gets roughed up
by sticks and stones
until my body is disfigured beyond recognition
as if I'd been torn...

The scent of your feelings clings 
To the fabric of my dreams
It never leaves….it lingers
Lingers
Permeating everything
The scent of your feelings
Envelopes me

The fragrance of gardenia
When you are tender, sweet
Gentle and serene 
Tranquility showing through
In the gardenia...

Metaphorical troubled waters deluge
pitched me to and fro,
analogous to ghosts
that haunted Ebenezer Scrooge,
yours truly violently tossed
impossible mission to experience refuge

between bound pages
thick and juicy tome one garden variety
generic bookworm doth ravish

Stay tuned
For the soon to be boom
Between the sun and moon
And any flowers that do or don't bloom
During morning, night and afternoon

Lifeforms becoming unglued
Nobody is immune
Never assume
Acting like a buffoon
And being rude or lewd
Just because...

id be looking
for the real thing
you never told my other brother

and the fairytailes
would lead us
to a destiny 
unwinding the hands of tick tick ticking...

The look of pity on the saleswoman's face said it all
my paint spattered clothing, however the jeans fit
just didn't have that panache, chic pizazz, tongue hanging
inspiration for desire a young woman out to have.

Potential I Presume More Limericks

Big and tremendous come to mind.

Tremendous, stupendous, upend us.
Gargantuan, passion, trashing.
Immensive, aggressive, sensitive.   
Ultimate Utmost, out grossed, horrible host.
Pittance, sentence, repentance.
In effect essential, provocative, potential, quite intentional.
Necessity, complexity, anxiety.

SADDENED

Hardly anything sadder 
Than when you lose a best friend
And don’t know how it happened
Or what brought it to an end?

The long echoing silence
Sadly shared between the two
and one of them not knowing
If anything they...

THAT MOTHER MARY WAS A REAL MOTHER

They teach, they preach, and reach incongrous conclusions for their congregants

miscommunicated 
misconceived observations
insecure perceptions
not too sure of anything
except my own delusions

worst case scenario

wrong things you said
no way to amend
the unforgiven
in your head

in my own head

I tell you I've no use
mind removed
ideas confuse
compare to
a sports team seen
consecutive relegations 
the changing scenes
cause debts and frustration 
a one way street
in season repetition 

Down one league 
Down two
should be the big fish
but at...
